<![CDATA[Pygate with WiPy restart every 20 minutes]]>Dear community,

I just bought myself a Pygate and WiPy to create a low-cost LoRaWAN TTN Gateway. I succeeded in registering the gateway in The Things Stack and uploaded my just slightly modified code to the WiPy.

However, I discovered that my Pygate restarts every 20 minutes and I can't find the cause of these constant power cycles. It's attached to the USB port of my internet router, but the same behavior occurs when attached to a dedicated power adapter.

Is this intended? Why did my gateway not restart between 3:04 am and 8:16 am?

Have you any tips how I can debug this? There is no message or dump on the REPL, it simply starts over again.

Best wishes,

Eduard

Does that mean that the watchdog timer isn't fed correctly somewhere in the Pygate firmware? Do I have to do this on my own?
