openwrt finally released for sunxi

[Benjamin Henrion]

Openwrt is finally released for sunxi:

https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05-rc1/sunxi/generic/

We had to wait because otherwise there were only daily builds available.

If you use it, feel free to report bugs.

This is based on a 3.18 lts kernel.

Hi,

I'm trying to build it for Cubietruck (make image PROFILE=Cubietruck) using the ImageBuilder (https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05-rc1/sunxi/generic/OpenWrt-ImageBuilder-15.05-rc1-sunxi.Linux-x86_64.tar.bz2) but it seems to have problems when looking for uboot:

Hi,

Can confirm, have exactly the same error. Going to try to build from source.

 

Thanks,

Juan

Building from source helps, I've got working system.

If you have archlinux as a build machine, you need to apply https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/475983/

If you use it, feel free to report bugs.

1) Cubietruck defconfig seems to miss something needed for onboard broadcom to power up.

Anyone got success running its wifi? 

2) A20 boards device trees seem to include cryptodev, which was proven to have HW bug on all Allwinner SoCs, fixed in A83. grep linux-sunxi mailing list for answers from Kevin in crypto hw acceleration patch threads. Does the version of crypto driver included in openwrt have updated patch? Since we have 3.1x here with patches from 4.x backported, this issue might be easily missed.

Apart from Cubietruck, I've got ok results from A10 boards, nothing seriously frustrating, almost everything works out of the git build.

Hi Dmitriy,

1) I don't have a cubietruck so this wasn't tested - IIRC it was left
off where brcmfmac would've needed the SDIO code built as well. Patches
are most welcome. :)

2) I'll check this one, can't recall the exact series, probably it was a
v4 or a v5, based off the timestamps. The last one I saw around the
crypto driver is the v9 patchset, is that the one You're referring to?

Thanks,
Zoltan H

Only AES/DES/3DES CTR and CTS modes were flawed:

Hi Dmitriy,

1) I don't have a cubietruck so this wasn't tested - IIRC it was left off where brcmfmac would've needed the SDIO code built as well. Patches are most welcome. :)

If brcmfmac SDIO is selected, driver can see the chip, but can't load the firmware - its missing from openwrt firmware packages. When I added brcmfmac43362-sdio.bin by hand from linux-firmware.git driver couldnt load the firmware, probably missing patches from upstream for brcm43362 support or some sunxi SDIO work from Hans.

 

2) I'll check this one, can't recall the exact series, probably it was a v4 or a v5, based off the timestamps. The last one I saw around the crypto driver is the v9 patchset, is that the one You're referring to?

Yes, see Priit Laes answer.
