yes, i am talking about patching dts for 4.9 kernel by adding :
  flash@d0000 {
                               ................................................
                               nand-ecc-strength = <4>;
                               nand-ecc-step-size = <512>;
                               ................................................

maybe i am wrong, but seems that last r6302 does not include this dts patch.

I can confirm this, I spoke by email with Kaloz.  He said patching the DTS files will fix the WRT3200ACM Winbond flash issue on 4.4 and 4.9 Kernel builds. The difference is that on builds before 4.11 kernel, the flash chip will not be recogized and show as 'unknown' in the devices.  This is purely cosmetic however.

I have no issues adding those lines to the rango.dts.  Thanks for telling me.

Hello friends,

happened something strange after the installation and configuration of the last build, I did the installation last night and today in the course of the day the WRT1900ACS started re-starting alone, did it for about three times before I shut it down and go back to the firmware of manufactures.

I do not know if the problem is directly related to the LEDE, but what I noticed abnormal was that the temperature was very high in 83C and with peaks of 87C, I had heard that these processors work in these temperature media, although if this is I really do not understand why Linksys did not do a better preparation for thermal protection.

well after returning to the factory has been an hour and WRT is stable, but I can not know to what temp, the same is working, at night I will re-install the LEDE again and try to isolate the problem, that this information can help the project.

If you have any suggestions or suggestion of how I can do to speed up the process, I am grateful.

After the install, take a look at htop and see if there's a process or processes running 100% of the processor.

Hi David,
I have wrt3200acm LEDE 4.9.82.
I could not install minidlna on r6302-0f54d96d24.

living and learning, there is the screen, re-installed the previous vs by precuation because could not leave the router stopped, at the end of the week back to new and testo from home with calm.

Thanks for help and patience 

  it is not only cosmetic. units with new winbond nand cant boot ( it will be stuck after kernel load by uboot. kernel will not recognize nand flash and cant mount rootfs. this was reported for a while and nobody could make it working on new units until this patch).

Thanks

I think @seb101 reference to cosmetic was the report in the log output, but that the patches from github for 4.4, 4.9, 4.14 all work. I think all have bee proven at this point.

Hi David,
May I ask a question about compile mwlwifi?

I'm using your image.
Model    Linksys WRT3200ACM
Firmware Version    Lede SNAPSHOT r5917-36f1978a70 / LuCI Master (git-18.020.50283-194e429)
Kernel Version    4.9.77

steps:
1. git clone lede source and git checkout -b for_r5917 36f1978a70

2. download your (config.seed) r5917, rename to .config

3. update package/kernel/mwlwifi/Makefile

PKG_SOURCE_VERSION:=51350a3e085a811179a270baddcae03ec9384f07

4. make -j10

5. scp kmod-mwlwifi_4.9.77+10.3.4.0-20180226-1_arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3.ipk to my router

6. opkg install kmod-mwlwifi_4.9.77+10.3.4.0-20180226-1_arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3.ipk

Here is the output

root@LEDE:~# opkg install kmod-mwlwifi_4.9.77+10.3.4.0-20180226-1_arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3.ipk

I don't know why the kernel version magic is not the same.

Here some infos for you.

Please help me and point out where  I did sth wrong.

Thanks.

To get ipkg that satisfies dependencies you should follow below steps:

1. git clone lede source

2. git checkout -b r5917 36f1978a70

3. ./scripts/feeds update -a

4. ./scripts/feeds install -a

5. download config.seed from r5917, mv config.seed .config

6. make defconfig

7. update package/kernel/mwlwifi/Makefile
PKG_VERSION:=10.3.4.0-20180226
PKG_SOURCE_VERSION:=51350a3e085a811179a270baddcae03ec9384f07

8. make -j10 (to compile everything)

9. scp kmod-mwlwifi_4.9.77+10.3.4.0-20180226-1_arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3.ipk to my router

10. opkg install kmod-mwlwifi_4.9.77+10.3.4.0-20180226-1_arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3.ipk

You were missing 3,4 and 6 (I think latter is just simple omission) and . The important thing is that you have to do ./scripts/feeds update/install -a before you do make defconfig. Without it you won't get matching kernel configuration with official build, despite of using proper config.seed file.

Please let me know if it helped.

@gpiszczek

It works with your steps.

Thanks a lot.

^_^

Yes exactly that, thanks Villeneuve. 

The original issue was present in all kernels when using Winbond flash.  After patching DTS files the issue is fixed in 4.4 and 4.9 but will report as 'Unknown' flash chip in the Kernel log.  After 4.11 it will correctly report as 'Winbond' flash in the Kernel log.

[    0.951515] nand: device found, Manufacturer ID: 0xef, Chip ID: 0xda

@seb101 : got it. thanks

Can't wait for next release with the new wifi drivers.

*EDIT*

Never mind... The pull request after the latest wifi version change deals with "Cleaned up styling. Moved text around to and added more words…"

I swear the list changes some times depending on the time you check.

The latest driver has already been available for download.

David, i have not followed every detail
On the driver issues, and figured it is with he 3200 series, not the 1900acs. So anyway, just wondering are the 1900 series pretty much wrapped up with wifi drivers? I tested a previous firmware late last month with great results, just minor issues and waited for a more final release.

Yup i was talking about 10.3.4.0-20180226, i can't replace them manually so i need to wait for an update.
Btw good job with this firmware

The firmware changes certainly has been 3200acm driven, but the wifi driver from what I recall may affect more than just the 3200acm.

If you can download "putty", and log into the router with the same user/pass as LuCi.. I think I can get you on the new wifi driver with only 4 commands. It would be a copy paste for you. That's assuming you have the latest build installed.

You can look at FAQ here >> https://davidc502sis.dynamic-dns.net/faq/

FAQ #5

(Last edited by davidc502 on 28 Feb 2018, 20:35)

Ah... So no need to disable the wifi before?

EDIT: never mind... wifi and internet is not more working...Nice.

(Last edited by Keltere on 28 Feb 2018, 21:59)

No need to disable wifi as the driver is already loaded.

Sounds like other issues?

Maybe a permission problem?

Here is my steps:

cd /tmp
wget davidc502sis.dynamic-dns.net/releases/kmod-mwlwifi_4.9.82+10.3.4.0-20180226-1_arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3.ipk
opkg install kmod-mwlwifi_4.9.82+10.3.4.0-20180226-1_arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3.ipk
cd /lib/firmware/mwlwifi/
mv 88W8964.bin 88W8964.bin.old
wget github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi/blob/51350a3e085a811179a270baddcae03ec9384f07/bin/firmware/88W8964.bin
reboot

EDIT: now it seems it's working, i did nothing except waiting... Strange.

Very nice.  I note that 1900ac was not listed, nor is it linked to
from your firmware page.  Yet I do see a build for the 1900ac
was none the less posted under snapshots/r6302.

Since I own a 1900acv1, would I be foolish to try it?

OK,  i found all the latest files... checked the dates and they are all 2-24-18. I am assuming the img file has all the updates, and does not need manual wifi driver insertion package.  If not I am wondering what happened to keep the package from the build when compiling.
