Which Firmware is needed? update v2 to v3

Gateways TTKG - The Things Kickstarter Gateway
1

Hi IoT-ers
Before i get in trouble i want to asked something about contradictory information:

In this source, The Things Kickstarter Gateway | The Things Stack for LoRaWAN that say V 1.0.8 is needed

In this post, Automatic gateway update

htdvisser Hylke Visser says:

The Things Kickstarter Gateway gets its updates from the branch that’s selected in the Account Server. You can find the list of branches here: Branches · TheThingsProducts/gateway · GitHub 8
The 1.0.6 patch with the ISRG Root X1 has been on the beta channel since May 2019, and on the stable channel since June 2019.
Currently (June 2020):
• The stable branch is at 1.0.7 which makes the gateway work with our v3 stack.

Is v 1.0.7 ok to migrate from v2 to v3? (because v1.0.8 isn’t the stable version)

I will use the community edition.

did anyone did the migrate? can you share your plan / way of working?

Thanks in advance,

Regards Co

Migrating to The Things Stack Community Edition (v3) should also work with v1.0.7.

You can indeed follow the instructions on the documentation page you linked.

The v1.0.8 firmware should have been on stable for a while now; I’ll check why so many The Things Kickstarter Gateways are still on v1.0.7.

@MarcVanBracht,

I was just trying to figure that out and got lucky looking at the source for the gateway web interface.

Visit http://gateway-ip-address/status.cgi (like http://192.168.1.21/status.cgi or whatever) and you’ll be rewarded with a little JSON packet like this, containing information about your gateway:

{ 
  "gateway": true, 
  "hwversion": "v1", 
  "blversion": "r1-7167873a (2017-06-02T13:48:18Z)", 
  "fwversion": "v1.0.8-846da98b (2019-11-28T12:47:15Z)", 
  "uptime": 2818, 
  "connected": true, 
  "interface": "Ethernet", 
  "ssid": "linksys", 
  "activation_locked": true, 
  "configured": true, 
  "region": "US_902_928", 
  "gwcard": "915Mhz", 
  "connbroker": true, 
  "pup": 0, 
  "pdown": 0, 
  "estor": false 
}

I confirmed by the SHA 846da98 that this firmware release was from Dec 2019.

@frankleonrose

thanx for the URL. I didn’t know it was there
http://192.168.178.65/status.cgi in my case

I have also the version Dec 2019 that is needed for V3.

But now? Can you see where it goes wrong?

Anybody else in this forum?
