Can you read gps data?
Does gps get a lock?

Did you reach out Dragino?

Which is your gateway model?

Interesting article for adding gps support

I contacted Dragino’s engineer and she told me that GPS is turned on by default when PPS pairs are used. * I’m using LG308

This is generate-config.sh.

	##GPS coordinates. use fake GPS from UI or via GPS module
	if [ "$fake_gps" == "1" ];then
		json_add_boolean "fake_gps" 1
		json_add_double "ref_latitude" "$latitude"
		json_add_double "ref_longitude" "$longitude"
		json_add_double "ref_altitude" "$altitude"	
	elif [ "$model" == "DLOS8" ]|| [ "$model" == "LPS8-G" ] || [ "$model" == "DLOS8N" ];then	
		json_add_string "gps_tty_path" "/dev/ttyUSB0"
	fi
     
 

	###Beacon Related
	json_add_int "beacon_period" "32"
	json_add_int "beacon_freq_hz" "923300000"
        json_add_int "beacon_freq_nb" "8"
        json_add_int "beacon_freq_step" "600000"     
	json_add_int "beacon_datarate" "8"
	json_add_int "beacon_bw_hz" "125000"	
	json_add_int "beacon_power" "14"
	json_add_int "beacon_infodesc" "0"	
	json_add_int	"time_interval" "`uci -q get gateway.general.stat`"

And the config file that is generated looks like what?

Also you may want to try this.
Can you read gps data?
Does gps get a lock?

Have you tried this one?

beacon: true not found. The gateway staff says it supports Class B and has GPS, but it seems that the beacon pointing to the gateway is not working. Looks like we’re gonna need a new outdoor gateway.

Does this mean GPS data was not available?
How did you determine the system/hardware error rather than configuration problem?
More info may help others in a similar circumstance.
