openthread border router web GUI on openwrt

[xinfa deng]

hi:

   I have modified "ot-br-posix/etc/openwrt/openthread-br/Makefile", and then compile the otbr-web and run the program on openwrt.

  I can enter into the web UI from the browser, but all the operation failed.

  I checked otbr-agent and found that no log information of operation was returned.

  I think that otbr-web and otbr-agent did not communicate. How should I solve this problem?

Hi,

otbr-web is not supported on OpenWRT.  We chose using the native web GUI to manage Thread network. I think you can find a new item Thread under the Network menu in the navigation bar, that's where you can create/join/scan Thread networks.

Hi:

  I found that there was no on-mesh option in the native Web GUI, so I still needed to use otbr-web.

  I've tried porting otbr-web in OpenWRT-1806 and found that it works.

  However, the current hardware device I am using is based on OpenWRT-1505. 

  When I enter otbr-web and execute join, it shows "Could not open path". I suspect it is a version problem of some software dependent package, but I have been trying for two days and can't find the problem.

  Do you have any Suggestions?

From the image, it seems there are some files missing. I created a PR to output more verbose information: https://github.com/openthread/ot-br-posix/pull/480

You may cherry-pick it and see what's missing.

Here's the new error message，but I don't think available_network is a static file.

Could not open path `/available_network`: boost::filesystem::canonical: No such file or directory: "/usr/share/otbr-web/frontend/available_network"
