New Thread for MLWG3

What I know so far:
https://github.com/H-LK/MLWG3

- The MLWG3 uses the MT7628
- Same partition layout
- New U-Boot, Supports USB and Fat32
- Hard to open. PCB is glued. 2 screws (torx) behind the back label.
- Serial is working @ 57600 (baudrate)
- Telnet works with firmware update trick

Ok, I've tried to connect to it using telnet: I made an empty file, named it  mlwG3_v;telnetd; .x.x.bin , put it on an empty SD card and started up the device. The two blue leds are blinking for a minute or so, then both of them go out, only the green one (battery) stays. Next I connected the device using a LAN wire to my laptop, started cmd and tried 'telnet 192.168.202.254', but it didn't worked, it said that 'Could not connect to the device using port 23.'

What am I doing wrong?

Also, is there a way controlling the LEDs?

Hard to say what is wrong.
Solution 1:
Connect your MLWG3 to your Router via Ethernet. Get the MLWG3 IP from the Router Admin Panel. Try to telnet to this address.

Solution 2:
Connect to the MLWG3 Wifi and try telnet 192.168.201.254


You can control two LEDs. I will post the command tomorrow.

Well that's the problem, with the empty SD card in it containing the file, the wireless network doesn't works at all. If I take the card out while powered, nothing happens, only if I restart the device. Then it comes back to normal.

Ok, back with more details. I have tried everything so far from changing the memory cards to writhing something into the file to have a bigger size then 0 B. It doesn't matter if I have the device connected using the Ethernet port to the laptop or not, if the memory card with the file, is in the device when I power it, the two leds are blinking for a short period, then both are dead. So I don't have access to the device (wireless nor wired).

Then I changed the files name from 'mlwG3_v;telnetd; .x.x.bin' into 'mlwG3_v;telnetd;.x.x.bin' (deleted the only white space in the file's name) and the device was constantly restarting or at least it seamed to do this, because the wireless appeared and dissapeard. The first Led was blinking, the second light came on and after a few seconds both turned of. Again after a few seconds the whole process started from the beginning.

I don't know what to to next, maybe mine has different Firmware on it than yours and this leakage was resolved by Kingston.

MLW Information

Firmware                      3.0.0.12_EU
Model                           MobileLite G3

On the back of the device, where are the MAC and Serial Number informations, is also written Rev A at the very bottom of the sticker...

Ok I have the same problem when connecting to the wifi. I can't access the Wifi-Network. However if I plug the MLWG3 into my Router with Internet Access the MLWG3 will get an IP Address from the router and starts telnet without this problem.

Exactly how I finally managed to connect to the device, and I am sooooo happy! At the moment I am trying to unmount my portable HDD connected to it, but without much success. I also wanted to check something in the manual, but I see that they are working on it right now, because it is not available on the site anymore...

Using umount?

I tried "unmount", but it doesn't seems to work because, checking it after it with a simple "ls" the /media/USB1 is still there... I am guessing, just like how, after turning off the reader, the USB is still powered thus the hard disk is on, the same happens with "unmount". In sbin there's even an automount.sh script which maybe is running non stop, re-mounting everything attached to the card reader.

I just tested it with the SD-Interface, works fine. Will test it later with the usb interface.

BTW there is program at /usr/sbin/ called led. Did a hexdump of it but I didn't figured out how it works yet. The Linux interface /sys/class/leds or /sys/class/gpios doesn't exist unfortunately.

What command did you used for the SD and how did you checked after? 

I will check out the program. Too bad there aren't GPIOS, because I could have used my Raspi knowledge on them...

I also want to ask you another question, related to another device with actual OpenWRT on it, but I don't want to spam this thread with off topics, but I can't find the Private Message button here. Is here a way for private communications?

Don't you mean MT7628?  I don't believe there is an MT6728.

Yesterday night I tested this and... long story short: this device will NEVER totally disconnect your portable hard drive. Even after you totally  power off the reader, because of the powerbank functionality, the USB port remains powered with electricity, so the hard drive will remain turned on.

Now the long story: initially I thought that umount is not working because the LED on the hard drive remained turned on after I gave the umount /media/USB1 command and checking with ls /media/,  both SD_Card1 and USB1 was present, and I found that strange. When I give Safely Remove Hardware from Windows, not only the hard's partition disappeared from the Explorer, the hard's LED turned off too, meaning it was totally shut down. I was expecting the same behavior from Linux too.

Until now, I don't really unmounted devices from Linux, and for sure not by using the terminal. Even from Windows I rarely unmount something, I usually turn off the computer and I take it out after. I proceed this way with my Raspberry Pies too, and I expected this behavior with this card reader. When I saw that is not the case, and read in it's manual that the USB is always under power, so that you could recharge your phone without needing to power on the whole card reader with WIFI and all (this way preserving some power in the battery), I decided that I will unmount and eject the hard drive manually.

I tried eject, detach, udisks, udiskssctl power-off, suspend and nothing worked, only umount. After I tried how you pointed it out, I was curious what is the exact equivalent solution in Linux for Windows's Safely Remove Hardware and my conclusion was that it is not quite possible, at least not on this Linux that is on this card reader. More information on this blog.

So the remaining possibilities are:
1. When you power off the device, there are a few seconds when both the device and the hard drive are powered off. Unplug the hard drive at that moment, before the device enters in powerbank functionality.
2. Unmount the hard drive and hope for the best: the internal mechanism of the hard drive to be in stand by so that, by disconnecting it from the USB port, nothing will be damaged in the hard drive. Today's hard drives are build to last, and being portable I guess the manufacturers thought about these situations as well.
3. While I was studying what else is on this Linux version, I've found a script in /sbin/ folder called safe_remove.sh. Here it is it's content:

# vi /sbin/safe_remove.sh
#! /bin/sh

if [ "$1" == "" ]; then
        echo "parameter is none"
        exit 1
else
        echo "***** safe remove $1 *****"
fi

sync

mounted=`mount | grep $1 | wc -l`
while [ $mounted -ge 1 ]
do
        media_rmname=`mount | grep $1 | cut -d '/' -f 5 | cut -d ' ' -f 1`
        mount_node_no=`ps | grep mount_node | grep $media_rmname | cut -d ' ' -f 1`
        echo "R/media/$media_rmname"
        widrive_aloha_out $media_rmname
        if [ "`echo $media_rmname | head -c 3`" == "USB" ] ; then
                rm -f /tmp/security_usb_login_list
                rm -f /tmp/security_usb_login_time
                killall security_usb_loop
                nvram set current_security_usb_in=0;
        fi
        kill $mount_node_no

   
Running it gives:

./safe_remove.sh media/USB1
***** safe remove media/USB1 *****
R/media/USB1
killall: security_usb_loop: no process killed
kill: you need to specify whom to kill
killall: security_usb_login.sh: no process killed

/sbin/security_usb_login.sh: line 8: Tester_run: not found
User guest password set to none.

And here I needed to press the Enter key to continue, otherwise it would just hang on and do nothing...

After this I check with ls /media/USB1 and for my surprise there was no longer an USB1 present in media. The strange part was that the LED on the hard drive was still on, so I don't really know what this script actually does. My Linux knowledge is basic, I understand individually the commands but not as a whole program. Maybe somebody can shed a light on it and explain it.

FWIW, the MLGW2 had 3 states. 
1 - NO LED on router - acts as a USB HUB
2 - short press green LED fast blink, acts as charger, router off
3 - long press green LED blinks slow, acts as router (not sure it it will charge)

I spent some time looking into the USB "eject" situation and there are other threads in the forum that basically say it's not supported.  The best I was able to gather is that the params sync, rw are the sagest thing you can do in OpenWrt.

I realize that this is not OpenWrt, but the delivered Linux flavor.

Ok my first OpenWRT port works smile. More later..

I've tried to hook up to the mounting event of the USB, by creating a rule in /etc/udev/rules.d, but for my surprise, /etc/ folder doesn't contains udev... So in this case what is it to be done? I have also tried editing /etc_ro/inittab but I don't know what level I need to assign for my script to run (???::boot::myscrpt).

Also is there a way to access telnetd without the need to insert that memory card with the filename changed for this purpose?

Hi,

As "just an end-user," may I politely ask?...  If at all possible, please document with as much detail -- and step-by-step instructions -- as is appropriate in the wiki big_smile  Your work will be of great value to others even if the unit isn't extremely widely used.  I see there's a wiki page already for the MLWG2.

Thank you for doing such difficult work as porting!  This community depends on knowledgeable users and developers such as you.

I agree, but you probably do NOT want to use the older MLGW2.  You can start a new page for this here:
https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/adding_to_toh
There are two parts
1 - The Dataentry page which is the structured database
https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start
2 - The Device Details page.
It's also a separate set of credentials for the wiki (and you may get an error logging in, but you are logged in.  Just navigate)

Ok, yesterday I've found out, that no mater what modification I make, after restarting the device, everything will be as before. The device resets itself. I made a folder and a test script in almost every folder in the root section and when I turned on the power again, I couldn't find it anymore.

So I am guessing that OpenWRT is my only solution, but at least this will have a newer Linux system on it, and maybe there will be more options available then on this basic one. smile

Sry for replying so late but I lost my wrapped_passphrase of my encrypted home directory somehow and had only a backup from 10 days ago sad
Writing this Page is on my Todo-list. Hopefully I find some time this weekend.

I added Kingston as a brand for the wiki by contacting the Openwrt Support. (Don't know why it isn't already listed)

Current state of my port:
mlwg2.dts tested, works
2.4 GHz WLAN works
USB-Port works

Ethernet works almost (I have to configure Switch0, (02_network))
SD works almost (SD-Port is detected, but it is not listed at /dev)

Todo:
5 GHz WLAN
Leds...Buttons...

Can I submit a new database entry without a complete port?

Our goal is not to have a database with the most routers in unknown status, but a database, with many that are supported by OpenWrt.

I'll try to help you with your porting effort.

Hi guys

for 5GHz you must enable PCIe in DeviceTree

    pcie@10140000 {
        status = "ok";
    };

and use the mt7610 wifi driver
