Looks like latest release from svn boots okay from dhcp.  It appears to be able to mount (or at least detect) the nand but I can't seem to get past the kernel boot, last message is "Warning: unable to open an initial console."  I'm thinking that the image built from build_root doesn't have a root file system and there is a kernel panic when the kernel can't mount a root fs.  Anyone have any thoughts?

Look at the wiki page: http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Har … otik/RB100 in section 4.

You need to build a separate kernel for the network boot that uses a ramdisk to give you the tools you need to load OpenWRT.

The script to load the tar.gz image and kernel has a couple bugs.  It doesn't erase the existing files from the flash and has the kernel file name wrong.  Both an easy manual fix.

Edit:  I've added submitted a patch to fix the bugs: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/2584

I built the target image as a ramdisk, so I don't think that is what the problem is.  Previous versions from svn get me all the way to a shell prompt but no ability to mount the nand.  This time, the kernel appears able to see the nand, but I don't get a shell prompt.  I did another svn update this morning and now I get a little further but there is a kernel panic shortly after starting the busybox init.  I can't post the message, it's at home and I'm at work smile

I'll post the dmesg when I get home this afternoon.

Here is the last bit of dmesg from the latest build (ramdisk netboot, rev 9421):

Freeing unused kernel memory: 2244k freed

The last message repeats continuously and I'm not able to get to a shell prompt.

The problem your seeing looks like what I saw when the original firmware is not erased.    Have a look at the patch I made.  The mtd erase command is not wiping the partition as anticipated in the original script.  You must have an empty partition before the tar.gz image is extracted for OpenWRT to boot properly.

If you use your ramdisk boot you can manually mount the partition and see all the junk left around from the factory firmware.   Just 'rm -rf' it all and re-run wget2nand.

Okay, I've had some success.  I've been able to successfully boot openwrt on my routerboard 150, mount the nand, copy a kernel/rootfs to mtdblock0 and mtdblock1, and then boot from nand.  However, this success was not without its problems.  Here are some of the problems I've encountered so far:

1) By default, there is no way to log into the system from console, I had to build the getty package and add this line to the inittab:
     console::sysinit:/sbin/getty 115200 /dev/console

2) The kernel is passed /dev/mtdblock3 to boot from, I had to alter this to /dev/mtdblock1, rebuild the kernel, and install that kernel to nand in order to get the nand booted kernel to mount the root filesystem

3) There don't seem to be any pty's available to any process.  Dropbear gets these messages when a client is connecting:
     root@OpenWrt:/$ /usr/sbin/dropbear -F -E -p 22
     [837] Jan 01 00:04:57 Not backgrounding
     [838] Jan 01 00:05:01 Child connection from 192.168.1.100:33963
     [838] Jan 01 00:05:03 password auth succeeded for 'root' from 192.168.1.100:33963
     [838] Jan 01 00:05:03 pty_allocate: openpty: No such file or directory
     [838] Jan 01 00:05:03 no pty was allocated, couldn't execute

     I'm not sure if this is an issue with openwrt itself or if I've just mucked around enough to break something.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

4) All the leds are on after boot, /etc/diag.sh doesn't seem to be able to set their state correctly.  Here are the post boot messages:
     leds-gpio: probe of leds-gpio.0 failed with error -16
     leds-gpio: probe of leds-gpio.1 failed with error -16
     Registered led device: gpio2

     Registered led device: port4led0
     Registered led device: port4led1
     Registered led device: port4led2

5) There seems to be something causing a segfault during the init process.  I haven't yet been able to isolate it, but if I remove boot and done from the init order, then the segfaults seem to go away.

6)  I can't start vi, all I get is a segfault

I think the segfaults I'm seeing may be related to the pty issue, but I have no idea where to even start with that one.  I'll post more if I learn anything new.

Thanks for all the help everyone!

Andrew

Okay, I've made even more headway.

These are fixed,  I had disabled hotplug2 in troubleshooting along the way, with it re-enabled the /dev/ptmx device node is created and there are pty's available to processes.  I no longer need to have getty installed and in the inittab.

I discovered that awk is segfaulting every time it is called.  The /etc/diag.sh script imports /lib/adm5120.sh and that script uses awk.  I think this is likely why all the led's are on.  This also explains the other segfaults I'm seeing during init.

I'll keep everyone posted if I discover any more.

Ticket 2627 has been filed on this problem.

Hi everybody,

I am trying to build an image for a Routerboard rb150 (the one without MiniPCI) with the last trunk svn.

I keep getting an error on running make during the kernel compile process. If I run

make package/kernel-compile V=99

the last lines of output read

cp: cannot stat `/home/flavio/RADIOLAN/OPENWRTSDK/kamikaze/build_dir/linux-adm5120_router_le/linux-2.6.23.1/net/key/af_key.ko': No such file or directory

make[1]: *** [package/kernel/compile] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/flavio/RADIOLAN/OPENWRTSDK/kamikaze'
make: *** [package/kernel-compile] Error 2

In the /build_dir/linux-adm5120_router_le/linux-2.6.23.1/net/key/ there is a source file that does not get compiled by make.
I already tried to modify the kernel config, but I had no success.

What should I do?

Thanks

Did anyone ever get it working on the RB133c?  I see that it is supported under the hardware section but this thread looks like there are problems.  Before I try to load it on an RB133c I would like to know that someone has made it work and what pitfalls I might come across.    Thx in advance!

I have it currently running on 2 rb133c's and 2 rb150s.  Seems pretty stable so far.  The 150's have been rebooting under heavy load, but florian reports that he thinks this has been fixed recently.

I've followed the instructions at the openwrt rb100 wiki page up to the point where it says that due to a problem with nand, follow the instructions here. They seem to work as I have got openwrt running on my Routerboard rb133c. It has an atheros minipci card installed.

The ethernet port works when I do 'ifconfig eth0 add 192.168.1.1 up'  but none of the settings in /etc/config/network or /etc/config/wireless seem to be getting loaded. I can't sort out how to get my wireless interface up or what exactly it is called (ath0 doesn't seem to exist).

Indeed, when I run 'ifup lan' or 'ifup wifi0' I get:

root@(none):/etc/config# ifup lan
/sbin/ifup: /sbin/ifdown: line 15: uci_revert_state: not found
/sbin/ifup: /sbin/ifdown: line 18: uci_load: not found
interface not found.

It appears the problem is in /etc/functions.sh where it calls uci_load.  I have noticed that /etc/functions.sh is significantly different on my routerboard than on my linksys wrt54g running openwrt 7.09.

The images I downloaded from ..kamikaze/2.6/adm5120 were in a folder dated February 6th, 2008 called '10405'.  I tried first with the netboot image from ..kamikaze/2.6/ladmin5120/latest directory but that vmlinuz.elf file dated January 14th would not boot, it gave an 'initrd not found or missing' error or something to that effect.

My question is what do I have to do to get the wireless working? Will I need to build openwrt myself and include the atheros driver/module?  I have seen above that abates has managed this and I see no reason I can't sort that out as well. 

Does the ifup script not work because it is from some random build from SVN and not a proper release?

My goal is use OpenWRT with the OLSRd mesh routing daemon to communicate with RS232 devices.  I am also evaluating the Asus wl-500gP since it has USB.

Thanks for any insight as I am not sure as to how to proceed,

wget2nand was modified recently, so in theory extracting stuff manually is no longer necessary.  I haven't tried the updated version of wget2nand yet, though.

If you try to netboot the normal kernel (i.e. not a netboot kernel) when you do not have a filesystem on the flash you will get an error about it not being able to mount the root filesystem.  I'm guessing that's what happened there.

Possibly.  There have been some changes to uci and /etc/functions.sh recently which may have broken something.  The last version I tried on rb1xx was r10310.  I did not test it extensively, but everything I tried seemed to work fine including the wireless (with an Atheros miniPCI card.)

It would probably be best for you to compile Kamikaze yourself.  It's not hard smile

Here are the generic instructions: BuildingKamikazeHowTo

The RB100 wiki page should give you the rb1xx specific bits.

EDIT: r10366 is the last version before the recent uci changes.  Perhaps you should try that revision.  If that works for you, you should probably open a ticket with the details.

updated the latest soft link to point to the latest build.  looks like you were able to successfully netboot.

Hi,

I've got r10366 for adm5120 built and used wget2nand to downgrade from r10405 to r10366 since r10405 was giving me problems with the ifup/ifdown scripts (which still don't seem to do anything other than say interface not found).

Now I'm not sure if I selected all the appropriate wireless options for the image. I selected anything I thought I might need, but probably missed some things.

I'm trying to get the RB133 to work as an access point but it doesn't seem to be broadcasting its SSID.  I have an atheros card in it at the moment. I don't think I included hostapd in the image so if it is required that could be a problem.

and the output of ifconfig.  I was surprised to have both ath0 and wifi0. Is this because I included too many wireless drivers in my kernel?

I don't know how to proceed to get this RB133 working as an access point.  Any thoughts?

And a second question, I have an Asus WL-500gP with a stock broadcom card in it.  Apparently kernel 2.6 works with the asus wl-500 and atheros, but not broadcom.  Does anyone know why I couldn't put my atheros card from the routerboard in the Asus, and the Asus' broadcom card in the Routerboard?

Thanks for your assistance

That looks OK.

I'm not sure what the defaults of the different options are, so you could try adding "option hidden 0" to the wifi-iface section.

and the output of ifconfig.  I was surprised to have both ath0 and wifi0. Is this because I included too many wireless drivers in my kernel?

wifi0 is the underlying wireless device.  ath0 is virtual interface attached to the physical device.  You can have more than one athX interface attached to a wireless device.

What does "iwconfig ath0" give you?

Does anyone know why I couldn't put my atheros card from the routerboard in the Asus, and the Asus' broadcom card in the Routerboard?

I don't know.

As it turns out, the wireless may have been working quite fine before and it was just my gnome-networkManager application that gets confused after a suspend/resume cycle. I rebooted my laptop and the access point appeared.

I did add the option hidden 0 and changed # option disabled 1 to option disabled 0 but I think that solves my RB133 related queries and now I'm on to just sorting out how to configure OpenWRT in general!

Thanks for your help.

FYI here is my iwconfig ath0:

HI

I set up an Rb133 with kernel and rootfs got from: http://wifi.ozo.com/airo/openwrt/firmwa … 20/latest/

Now the board is running but I'm unable to understand how hardware device are mapped on /dev/port
I would like to direct access hardware of the board from user space without the need to write a kernel module (I'm unable to this task !!)
does anyone know about it ?

moreover: the processor periferals are memory mapped:
caould I access its from /dev/mem file ???
and in this case what is the memory translation from the processor core address (eg: from datasheet I see network leds are mapped at 0x12000100 ... )

thank you all in advance

Which hardware do you want to control ?
Openwrt has leds support by kernel for rb1xx series.

>Which hardware do you want to control ?
>Openwrt has leds support by kernel for rb1xx series.

yes I know
my test was to discover the use of MINI-PCI bus
I would like to test the possibility to map a dual port ram or similar to the pci pus to create a small lcd video card
I know that pci rchitecture allow the possibility to implement 'legacy' devices with fixed bus address, adm5120 has a reserved memory area for pci memory mapped devices
so I thought : If I can write to these addresses may be i will be able to write at high speed to an external ram
my one is an experimental design so I would bypass many tasks involved in pci devices (auto configuration etc)
I need simply to know how to  write in the PCI memory area...

as you can see all this is covered by many doubts !
but after all experimenting is my main task !

thank you

Just wanted to post a correction for the use of the wget2nand command when flashing the RB routers. When you build kamikaze using the trunk the NAND kernel image file needs to be renamed, you have to add the "2.6" to the name. The kernel should be called "openwrt-adm5120-2.6-rb1xx-kernel" so wget2nand can find it. The rootfs file does not need to be renamed.

Hello,
I'm trying to create a bridge on RB133 with OpenWrt by following command:

root@OpenWrt:/># brctl addbr br1
add bridge failed: Package not installed

I've searching for the solution - it seems that it is not right compiled kernel or package for bridge.

I'm using a firmware from site http://wifi.ozo.com/airo/openwrt/firmwa … 5120/11306 and I've installed the following packages:
kernel
wireless-tools
libgcc
libpcap
libncurses
kmod-madwifi
bridge (1.0.6-1 mipsel)
iptables

When do the same command in version 10774 - it wrotes the same error. Is there some package missing? Or is it really a bug?

Thanks
Alik

try to remove and reinstall the bridge package from the package directory of the firmware you are using.

Thanks for your answer. I'm trying your solution but it doesn't work. I'm using MIPSEL packages (bridge, ...) from directory ...\11306\packages\mipsel\
