If SOC support for similar devices is already present in OpenWrt, it should be rather easy to add support for SBCs yours as well, but there still are no 'generic' images. You will have to add the necessary DTS yourself and complete the firstboot configuration matching your hardware - and ideally submit it for inclusion into OpenWrt, once you're ready.
Hey there! I have a 3328, and have a quectel 5G modem that I'd love to get working as a router. I'd love to test it. Where can I find the image? I've got limited experience with this little 3328 as well as limited knowledge in building an image. I've flashed the Libre OS' and just need to know what to do and I'll test the crud out of this.
I'll give that a shot today. I've attempted to flash over my own compiles of your code to an SD card, and all that happened was the 3328 would just have a blinking red led. Nothing else. I have a suspicion the same thing will occur. I don't know enough about the device and how it boots though to really troubleshoot. The images on their site flash over, and the device boots right up. I tried their Ubuntu, debian, and lib - all work. Just have not been able to get the openwrt to boot.
Any way to troubleshoot this I could help with? There was a guy who wrote an article on a rapberry pi with openwrt, and the quectel modem worked great, so I'm hopeful to get this going.
Appreciate your help and willingness to get this code in the build!
Great news, it flashed and booted right up. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong with building it myself, but your build is fine. I'm going to run some tests - USB needs to run at right speeds to get the 5g speeds from the quectel. So I can test that.
I'll play around with bridged mode and stability. So far, a bootable openwrt gives me something to actually play with. I'll report back any oddities but THANK YOU
So I've gotten to work on this quite a bit this weekend. I've been racking my brain against an issue for a while, thinking maybe it was the modem rather than the system. It's possible there are some USB 3 issues on the device. The power draw on the modem I believe may be too high for the port. This may be a hardware issue or software issue - but thought I'd share my finds.
From an OpenWRT perspective - all other functions of the system are working for now. Can't truly test it until I solve for my modem issue, but I'll keep at it!
