Raspberry Pi Gateways

I have been trying to setup a gateway using this tutorial.

https://www.thethingsindustries.com/docs/gateways/models/raspberry-pi/

All of the TTN side appears to be working and I can see live status data appearing on the Gateway console.
However I am getting the error below.

I am using a Pi to IC880a adaptor board.
I have confirmed that SPI is being sent to the correct pins on the IC880a.
I have tried taking the reset sequence out of the start.sh, sending the reset sequence manually before starting the application.

Is there test application I can use to independently confirm the SPI comms are working, without running the entire basicstation application?

Or any other suggestion for confirming that my IC880a is still alive? Currently only the Power status LED illuminates.
