Hi,

I followed theinstructions here for GPIO:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/devel/add.new.device
I think power and wifi wor well.

The results (tested until 37) are:

visible led ..... on (0,1)....no
power.............0..............22
DSL..................0...............2
LAN1................0................6
LAN2.................0...............7
LAN3.................0................8
LAN4..................0...............9
WLAN....................................don't know
WPS...................0...............27
VOIP..................0.................25
USB....................0................14

That's it.

I don't know how to test the buttons (wifi, reset, wps).

What now?

Hi,
I used the instructions here:
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=36561
I found 2 buttons:
button WPS, close to power button .... pressed 0, relesed 1
buttonreset, next button (middle).........pressed 0, released 1
I didn'tfind button Wlan, farthest from power button.
WPS ... gpio 12
Reset....gpio 34

I would like to add
Internet........0 (on).......gpio no 5

I couldn't fing gpio for the wifi on/off button

Ok, I went back to the previous code, this problem occurs also with the hg556a.

This time I added the missing "inet" gpio Led

openwrt-HG655x-squashfs-cfe-9.bin

Paste here the bootlog again.

Hi,

I tested a little bit the new build. I would say it is pretty usable. There are still things that could be improuved:

- the samba transfer speed, but I guess it's related to ntfs-3g and samba parameters. I could use ext3/4. The read speed is 3.2 Mb/s and write speed is 1.2 Mb/s
- The led configuration; the only leds that work well are: power, wifi and usb. I can't test dsl, voip, and i never used wps; The LANn and internet leds stay on and blink even if cable removed. After configuration, the leds blink, but after deleting them, they still blink (until reboot). In configuration is not an option related to port, but only to interface (br-la, eth0, eth0.1, wlan0, etc) so all lan and internet leds blink the same configured with netdev. I don't know whas phy0assoc, and all phy0 mean.

Anyway, it's ok.
I installed the package shadow-useradd and added a new user. then, with smbpasswd added a samba user. Then, I was able to test samba and it worked. Minidlna works. I am testing now to see if it refreshes after copying a movie. Pure-ftpd is a little harder for me to configure, but i'll do it. So all in all, this (v9) is a good build, usable. I'll be ready to test further builds to complete the adition of this very nice device. Now I don't have to throw it away, I can use it as a network extender and also a network storage and multimedia device.

I still don't know how to configure the switch (vlans) and how to turn it into a wired router. Now I use it as a wireless client and acces point (a ssid  as wireless client and a ssid as an acces point bridged with the lan ports).

I think maybe shadow-useradd could be included in the build.

For the wifi button: do you think I could deactivate by software (led off) and see if any gpio changes?

...and minidlna inotify works, meaning it refreshes the database after copying a media file.

Nice.

About the samba transfer speed using ntfs filesystems, it's normal such poor performances. The best performance is always better using ftp and/or ext2/3/4 filesystems, or might be even better with XFS.

About the leds, the triggers don't provide all the functionallity one might expect. When configured with ethernet interfaces you can only monitor the traffic, since the interface is always up even if you unplug the cable, the led stays on, and may blink because is still trying to send data.
phy0assoc, and other phy0xxx are wifi stuff, you can use it, but no need to do it since the wifi already has its own led

You can check if the leds are correctly added with a command like this, for the VOIP led:

echo 255 > /sys/class/leds/HW65x\:green\:voip/brightness
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/HW65x\:green\:voip/brightness

you can do it for each led, also you can include this command in custom scripts as indicators, or use triggers

root@OpenWrt:/# cat /sys/class/leds/HW65x\:green\:voip/trigger
[none] timer default-on netdev 
root@OpenWrt:/# echo timer > /sys/class/leds/HW65x\:green\:voip/trigger

About the switch, you need to know how to deal with tags and VLANS in Luci, or editing the config files.

About the missing gpio button, still nobody knows why some routers aren't capable of detecting gpios for some buttons, might be there is IRQ stuff involved, but OpenWrt has no IRQ code for gpios in bcm63xx.

Next days probably I'll post here a link to github with this router added to a repo.

Regards

Thanks, great work. I can be still of assistance if needed.
Maybe a progress will be made when they will release the sourcecode.

When you will make available the github, I will try to compile some images that I will put on my google website.

Hi again.
I've made another firmware this time with this modifications

--- a/arch/mips/kernel/smp-bmips.c
+++ b/arch/mips/kernel/smp-bmips.c
@@ -73,6 +73,8 @@
     case CPU_BMIPS4380:
         /* arbitration priority */
         clear_c0_brcm_cmt_ctrl(0x30);
+        /* Dcache priority to cpu1 */
+        set_c0_brcm_cmt_ctrl(1 << 5);
 
         /* NBK and weak order flags */
         set_c0_brcm_config_0(0x30000);

This should bring cache priority to the core1

[*] Built-in kernel command line
   (root=/dev/mtdblock2 rootfstype=squashfs,jffs2 noinitrd console=ttyS0,115200 isolcpus=0)

and this isolates the cpu0

With this trick the transfer speeds should improve a bit: IRQs will be managed by the first core while applications run on the second core. The performance will only be better in scenarios with a lot of interrupts, for other scenarios it can be worse.

I also included shadow-useradd

Hi,

I can't wait to test it.

What is the maximum flash image size for this device? is it 8 mb?
Can this be used also with 3G modem?
What does it mean it can be worse? \does it alter the wi-fi transfer speed?

I  have another little thing, I guess it could be nice... the usb drive to be automounted after boot. I guess it could be put a mount command in the openwrt autostart script.

The max size for a firmware image is about 7.4 MB since you need to leave some free space for configuration files (jffs2 partition) and also for CFE, caldata, and nvram. And yes it can be also used as a 3G modem, I can try to build another firmware < 7.4MB, just tell which packages you need.

Worse in some scenarios, but probably not scenarios with data transfers involved, since in these scenarios lot of IRQs are generated, then the wifi transfer speed shouldn't be worse, it should be better with high bandwidth transfers.

Hi,

I tested the transfer speed.... and it's the same. So I think there is no need for CPU affinity.  I guess you could put also the 3g packages and it should be complete.

optionally, openvpn (if it fits) and openvpn-luci, and opendchub and printserver could be allright.

In the past I had problems connecting to openwrt samba shares with a media player and the foles and folders were not in alphabetical order. It needed the option VFS_dirsort compiled in samba.

That would be all perfect.

Now I am learning to use vlans and I succeeded to use one of the LAN ports as WAN, so it can be used as a clasic wired router. (until nou I used a wireless ssid as wan).

Actually I would like to use it as an extender:

wired..... meaning I want to connect a wired lan port to the main router and the remaining lan ports and th ewireless radio to act as a bridge with the same IP class as the main network and transmit the DHCP packages to the main router. I think this is called client bridge

wireless....meaning I want to connect a wireless ssid to the main router; and another wireless ssid and the four lan ports to act as a bridge with the same IP class as the main network and transmit the DHCP packages to the main router. I think this is called repeater bridge.

of course, this could be done easily with WDS but in this interface of luci if I set the radio to act as an AP WDS it doesn't give me the option to introduce the BSSID of the main router. Also, I noticed the wireless scan doesn't work. Maybe a package is missing.

I'll keep you posted on my progress

Ok, this time without the affinity.

Now with 3g stuff, printserver, opendchub, and openvpn-luci. But openvpn-luci is marked as broken, it may not work.
For client bridge I included relayd, but don't expect it will work for you, sometimes it doesn't, or doesn't work very good.
Scanning, as reported by some people with other routers, sometimes luci decides to ignore scans with ralink or other wifis.

Hi,

I succeeded in understanding switch and VLANs. So in this device there are 4 LAN ports, numbered from 0 to 3. As in post

https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php … 160#p59160

the LAN and phone ports are, from the power plug to the other side of the box:

openwrt switch port     LAN port (tty output and box label)      my vlan config               My interfaces                     firewall zone
0....................................................1........................untagged eth0.3,vlan3............ admin (192.168.1.1).............................LAN

Ok. so with this switch config, I have always the port 0 (LAN1) that that I can connect to for administration purposes, that is not inside any bridge. No interface has dhcp except br-LAN.

Now, for a wired client bridge and repeater, meaning connect the device by wire and give wired access on the other lan ports and wireless access, I have to disable the interfaces WWAN and WLAN. So the LAN port LAN3 is used for wired connection with the main router and the LAN2 for other client. I tested and the connected devices to lan2 and to wireless WLAN AP can communicate with each other and with the devices connected to the main router. WAN gateway and dns have to be blank for the router to communicate with the internet

For a Wireless client router and repeater, meaning connect to the main router with a wireless ssid and give access to internet with another ssid and the LAN ports (but in another IP class), I have to enable the WWAN (and connect to the main AP as a client, give also gateway and DNS IP of the main router) and modify the static IP of the br-lan (i.e from 192.168.46.4 to 192.168.71.4)

For a Wired client router and repeater, meaning connect to the main router via a wired connection and give access to internet with the other LAN ports and the wireless AP, I have to enable the WLAN (and connect it to the main router, give also gateway and DNS IP of the main router) and modify the static IP of the br-lan (i.e from 192.168.46.4 to 192.168.71.4)

For a wireless client bridge and repeater, I guess I have to enable the WWAN and modify it's firewall assignment from WAN to LAN and bridge it to the br-lan. I didn't try it yet. Also, I think WDS should work, but I didn't figure out how to do it in openwrt and it is said it doesn't work between different vendors; br-lan dhcp disabled; firewall disabled; dnsmasq restart. Wireless security and settings on both wireless client and acces point must match with main router.

I tried this config but it doesn't work. I don't know if it is a way. Also, I don't know what is with "option type 'broadcom' ". When I modify this in /etc/config/wireless, it modifies the options in Luci webinterface. It seems that broadcom chipsets supports wireless client repeater bridge, but I don't know hoe to set this up.

Of course, I guess the switch ports can be freed for LAN as you may need.

Hi,

Is there a possibility to compile openwrt minidlna with another icon of the media server, not just the linux penguin? I did this on ubuntu.

Danitool, I'm testing now your last build and so far it works great:
samba
minidlna
pure-ftpd
wired bridge repeater
didn't test opendchub or openvpn (luci-app broken)

The build is perfectly usable. The things left to solve, but not important are:
luci-app-openvpn broken
the wi-fi button (I don't use it anyway)
the LEDs (I don't bother; LAN leds don't work, but in CFE work); power, USB and Wi-fi work great; I set  dsl LED for data txrx on br-lan
the VDSL/ADSL driver (I don't use it)


I am waiting for your repository.

Thanks for your great work.
Best regards.

You shouldn't use image size > 7.4 MB aprox. because they won't work, or you may lose your configuration, or in the worst case there is a possibility of destroying the calibration data when flashing the image via CFE.

The alternative is to use extroot. BTW my recommendation is to keep the system as tiny as possible,  unless you need specific applications, room hungry, such as asterisk.

OK.

I don't know if I am right, but I noticed that more packages fit when you include themat the begining in the copiled image than if you try to install theafterwards. Of course, there is usually no need for a lot of packages. Just saying.

By the way, how do I find the release version of the openwrt trunk from git?
