I can't install the kmod-fs-ext4 module, get this error:

root@Witi:/# opkg install kmod-fs-ext4
Unknown package 'kmod-fs-ext4'.
Collected errors:
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-fs-ext4.

why is that??

I have run opkg update

thx..,

But now I got this error.

"root@Witi:~/kmod# opkg install kmod-fs-ext4_4.3.4-1_ramips_1004kc.ipk
Installing kmod-fs-ext4 (4.3.4-1) to root...
Collected errors:

* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-fs-ext4."

and opkg install pkg-name doensæt work.

where can i find the module??

Edit:
I have found the two modules, but where can i find the kernel??

Found it at last was in the same url, but need to go further back.

Are there error on mounting a sata disk on the witi board?

Have know installed the kmod-fs-ext4 module - but when I do mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /mountpoint
it says no device found.

I have seen in dmesg the disk is found and from fdisk - the disk is located at /dev/sda1.

EDIT:
It's look like I have the wrong kernel version.

if I do opkg info kernel, it show two kernels.
if i say uname -r - it shows the old kernel version.

And the package I have installed, is only for the new kernel.

so how to upgrade the kernel?

@LTH

Kernel can be updated only if new firmware based on that newer kernel version is flashed.

Has anyone tried kmod-fs-btrfs or tried a port multiplier on the SATA port?

I found ext4 to work best. As for sata port multiplier, the data sheet says it's supported.

Bump.

Hello how is it going with CC support? will the board be suppoerted with the rls of 15.05.1?
Thanks

@mucha

The board is supported for quite some time in trunk. Once 15.05.1 will be available it will support WiTi too. The upcoming WiTi 2 will be supported too once it comes out since I already have the patches ready, but I need a board to test them.

@nitroshift

Wow great, thanks, I am going to order it as soon as 15.05.1 rolls out.
Thank you, you roll

Hello,

What modes supports Witi?
- Access Point
- Ad-Hoc
- Client
- Repeater
- ...

Thanks you.

OKay feels like a stupid question here and I'm probably missing something simple... but since SD card support is still broken in DD (which just got bumped to 4.4 a few days ago), how do I compile trunk without it? I went into menuconfig and removed kmod-mmc, kmod-sdhci-mt7620 and kmod-sdhci, and yet when I build the damn sd_mod.ko is still there! Even just did a complete make target/linux/clean and tried again, same problem.

Is there something in the target itself that I need to change/alter/disable in order to skip the broken module? Obviously would love to have the SD fixed but in the meantime I'd be happy with at least being able to boot lol

remove it from dependencies in the witi profile .mk (target/linux/ramips/mt7621/profiles)

Aha finally that seemed to fix it! Thanks, any word on what is going on with that MMC module anyway? I know earlier it was said to be a kernel bug but is there a link to the report or anything we can do to help resolve it?
Looking forward to Witi2 and really hoping the SD card will be usable by then

i don't know, i don't use mainline cc or dd for my board

Hello!
anyone tried microsd be mounted as extroot?
thank you!

As the MicroSD driver is still broken (and disabled by default nowdays) the answer is no.

ok never mind thank you anyway

anyway, where can I keep track of the driver implementation progress, please? Is there such a place?
thanks a lot

i am not that deep in linux, but yea - i figured out that sd-xc interface is provided by the SoC itself - MT7621A - right?
where can I track if the SD driver is broken or anything related to it? Googled but seems like out of luck today...

thanks

Hi guys, how can I start to use the internal SATA asmedia controller?

Just figured out a frustrating problem with a simple solution. I was trying to get the ac (5ghz) wireless radio0 working on the WiTi. Whenever I clicked "Enable", wlan0 failed to start and wireless ac didn't work.

System Log looked like this:

Doing some googling of the error messages, I cam upon this SO question:https://serverfault.com/questions/77142 … urvey-data. In it, I discovered ACS = Automatic Channel Subscription, and apparently it doesn't work correctly in all drivers.

So the solution to make AC work? Don't set your AC channel to "auto"! Pick one. Boom. it works. It would be great if this got added to the wiki Known Issues because I believe auto is the default.

mucha, if you know how to build openwrt from source, the instructions for how to enable the SD card in the WiTi are in this thread. I'm not sure of the exact post #. It's not hard, you just change one line of code. It's probably in my comment history.

From what I recall, the SD card bug is an unfixed linux kernel issue. Fixing the root cause was out of the control of openwrt contributors, but you can easily enable it in the source. It's probably the easiest and most satisfying "hack" you can do to this board.

I spoke too soon. Yes, disabling auto will get the radio to start. But I can't see an AC ssid it with any of my clients. If I change it to "Legacy" i can see it. Did any of you guys do anything extra to make AC work?

I recall when all the Witis were shipped that some people received incorrect antennas. Is it possible I have a BGN antenna on my NAC antenna connector and that causes AC to not be visible? My signal and noise dBM is 0%.

@shutin can you post you wifi config file? (/etc/config/wireless) make sure to remove any passwords or ssids.

I only use the 5GHz AC on the WiTi and it works just fine. (I'm using LEDE project, but OpenWRT was working before I switched)

When did you get the board? Have you looked through the WiTi forums as well?
I have changed MAC address for the 5GHz chip in the EEPROM as it created a conflict with Qualcom chips.
