LoRa packet-Forwarder doesn’t start about packet_forwarder HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi sajanikapukotuwa , long time ago , I have this issue too .
You can try this
1.Before start pkt_fwd , you should reset the pin of sx1301 each time, Use reset_lgw.sh script can do it , only change the IO PIN in the script which your RPI used.
2.it's not safety to connect the IC880 with jumper, the SPI will not not work perfectly. Use an adapter board to connect both rpi and ic880 will be wisely.

As said by @eydonmlau:

1. Make sure the SX1301 is put out of reset using the reset_lgw.sh script, and connect the correct GPIO pin.
2. Make sure your SPI connection is reliable, using the util_spi_stress tool provided with lora_gateway repo (./util_spi_stress -t 4). It should run for hours/days without any error.

Hi, everyone!
I have the same problem, but in little bit different way.
I connected the Radio Board to the beaglebone computer via SPI, but did not connect the reset to the board. When I run the packet forwarder after the computer starts it works fine.
But when I run the packet forwarder and close the packet forwarder each time using Ctrl+C after some time several times to test my LoRa Node board, it stops work since 3 or 4 attempt. I get this error: failed to start concentrator.
To provide the Radio board reset I tried to disconnect the power of concentrator (separated USB-cable) keeping SPI lines connected to the board, but it does not help anyway.
I found that the reboot of the computer solves the problem.
Providing the reset signal via the reset pin solves my problem!

I confirm that this solved my issue! the issue persisted for many days and I was struggling. Thanks for help people.
