The content of this topic has been archived between 8 Feb 2018 and 7 May 2018. Unfortunately there are posts – most likely complete pages – missing.

I tested. Loading goes away,  but finaly it crashes.

Any idea would be apreciated.

Could you guys report your dmesg's to the linux-mips mailing-list in reply to Maxime's patches. Subject is "[PATCH/RFC v1 00/12] Support for Broadcom 63xx SOCs". Thank you very much !

I am new here and trying to bring OpenWrt to dutch tele2 users.
My posts are about generating an OpenWrt image that is downloadable on an ancient version of CFE that is installed on DV201AMR and DV2020.
If there is a better location for these posts, please advise. TIA

@ florian_
I take note.

@ nbd
Thx for your fast reponse.
I tried it but it crashes again. I can't post output because i tried to reconfigure CFE and now router are bricked.
Today i will try to recover with JTAG, other times i do it. After recover i try it again, capture log and post it.


I have one question more, after applied patch, for first time i executed only "make", and no changes are noticed. For second time i deleted build_dir and changes are commited. How i must compile to apply patch without delete build_dir?

Thanks in advanced.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

It seems, that your kernel panics quite at the end of the initialization at the final step before/at running the init process. The file system has already been mounted ... maybe init=/etc/preinit (see bootline) is invalid?!

Router recovered,  other time.
here results after patch applied. Seem it can't mount rootfs

Here is the updated version which should fix the null pointer dereference: http://nbd.name/brcm63xx-mtd.2.patch
Please revert the previous patch, apply this one, then test.

sir,
you are fast, fast, fast

i wil try tomorow.

thanks, thanks, thanks.

anybody can post link to already compiled image?
and I test.

I'm not have installed any Linux version to try make image. I only have windows and routers.

@AndreyPopov,
you must install anything that can run linux


@nbd
still does not seem right

many thanks

Did some modifications but code in bcm963xx-flash.c should be rewritten imho.

@lamaatje

Congratulations.

Please,

can you explain something about your work?
changes in bcm963xx-flash.c  and others files?
how you has loaded firmware?

nice dmesg.

@t3l3m4k0: Actually the mtd part seems right now. It successfully mounted the rootfs. Your user space is crashing, did you make any changes to the package selection?

@lamaatje: your flash map changes don't seem right to me (judging from the dmesg). The rootfs partition always needs to be called 'rootfs' and the flash map driver is not supposed to create the overlay partition itself (that is already done by a generic kernel patch)

@nbd

i made changes in package selection.
i will restart from zero.


thnks

pd:

i see some changes in lamaatge dmesg

Kernel command line: root=/dev/mtdblock1 rootfstype=squashfs,jffs2 init=/etc/pr0

@t3l3m4k0   what is needed for the kernel is an access location in the flash where the rootfs starts. Access to the flash is done via an mtdblockdevice. So the trick of getting a rfs mounted is creating a suitable partition. Since CFE determines where kernel and rfs are located during flashing the whole concept of partitioning in bcm963xx-flash.c seems useless to me, since CFE header+rfs+kernel are contigous in flash always directly after CFE. I discovered that mtdblockdevices have problems with eraseblock alignment so I tweaked the flashimage a little such that the total image is eraseblock aligned, theoretical for read access this is not a requirement but in practice there are problems.
mtdblock1 is defined in such a way that it contains the start of rfs.
There are also bugs:

 
static int bcm963xx_detect_cfe(struct mtd_info *master)
{
       int idoffset = 0x4e0;
       static char idstring[8] = "CFE1CFE1";
       char buf[8];
       int ret;
       size_t retlen;

       ret = master->read(master, idoffset, 8, &retlen, (void *)buf);
       printk("bcm963xx: Read Signature value of %s\n", buf);
       return strcmp(idstring,buf);
}

non zero terminated strings are compared.

@nbd  overlay partition, please explain?

@lamaatje,
Thanks for your reply. I understand your concept but it is over my little knoledge.

@nbd
I'm recompiling from zero to reflash router, if it fails i must wait for some improvements, thanks for your aid.

that is i do to compile:

@t3l3m4k0 noted your compiler version may be old for such a new kernel  gcc version 3.4.6 (OpenWrt-2.0), it is not the trunk version!

@@nbd  how do I add boardsupport for my DV201AMR / DV2020  in kernel config:

making it a selectable option like above

Probably has to do with setting up switch ports, have no experience with this. Since it is an ADSL box the wan port also fails.

I'm watching this thread, i hope you guys will be able to make a stable port to the DG834GT with wifi etc smile

thanks for everybodys efforts

Probably has to do with setting up switch ports, have no experience with this. Since it is an ADSL box the wan port also fails.

Well, your br-lan hwaddr is truncated ... it must have a hwaddr of excatly 6 bytes like the eth0 port.
I suppose bridge-control package is installed so please check

# brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
br0-lan             8000.xxxxxxxxxxxx       no              eth0
(or something like that)

If the logical bridge doesn't have an interface attached try:
# brctl addif br-lan eth0

Afterwards the ping should work.

I guess, the base startup files have to be reworked for the bc63xx platform.

Thx, for your help, I now see a complete hwaddr, so maybe something went wrong copying from console.

root@OpenWrt:/# brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
br-lan          8000.001d6001a37e       no              eth0

ping still not working
