Join MIC mismatch adafruit 32u4

End Devices (Nodes) LMIC

Hello. I am not sure if this is a TTN problem or LMIC. (I suppose it’s LMIC) but I wanted some opinions before i make a bug report to github.

TTN refuses the Join MIC of LMIC (MIC mismatch), but accepts that of SlimLoRa.

I have run the decoder https://lorawan-packet-decoder-0ta6puiniaut.runkit.sh/ to verify that the MIC of LMIC is invalid but not for SlimLoRa.

I verified that AppEUI, DevEUI are the same via the above decoder. Except the MIC and DevNonce. PHYPayload is not the same.

Environment

  • LMIC: 4.1.1
  • Arduino: 1.8.19

What have you turned off in the LMIC config so that there is enough free memory?

I’m happy to make it work on a 328 but not tried for a long time with a 32u4. It can appear to be OK but generally glitch due to lack of free RAM.

There’s some beacon stuff that can be turned off.

You could disable Join and use ABP to give yourself more space.

At worst, revert to Matt’s deprecated version.
