I have a problem running Semtech packet_forwarder on Rpi3.
Here is log:

Sometimes its working:

Before start packet_forwarder wrote a small script to reset gateway:
sleep 10
gpio mode 5 out
gpio write 5 1
sleep 2
gpio write 5 0
sleep 1
cd packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd/
./lora_pkt_fwd
exit 0
With Rpi2 I have no problems, packet_forwarder always starts without problems.
Also i saw this topic RPi3 + IC880A-SPI + MP Packet Forwarder = Failed to start concentrator? - Raspberry Pi Gateways - The Things Network but set core_freq=250 seems didnt work for me
