All writable space is in RAM (Flash is bigger enough for additional packages)

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I recently build a firmware using this fork for my Vizio XWR100. The final squashfs-xx.bin is less than the flash size (8 MB). But after flashing it from the original firmware's upgrade page, I found out that all of the writeable space is mounted in RAM, and I can't save any of my settings. After building a firmware with only basic packages and then tried a prebuild image from here, I've come to the conclusion that the issue is not related to how I make the image or the fork where the source codes are from.

So does anyone know how to fix this?

Those images seem to have been configured to store the overlay partition on RAM, on purpose. You should contact whoever created them, and ask them why and to change the configuration.

However, chances are they made that decision because the device does not have enough flash memory to operate normally.

Oh, I thought I broke the uboot or something.

That project is no longer maintained, so I don't think they want me to bother them about this. But I found this file that seems to control how the flash layout is configured, but can you take a look and see if this is really the one you are talking about and maybe point me the way to the resource on how to change it back?

4

Sorry, but I have never done this.

Looking to your fork above, i see wrong flash partition size defined in file: target/linux/ar71xx/files/arch/mips/ath79/mach-xwr100.c

		.name		= "linux",
		.offset		= 0x040000,
		.size		= 0x160000,
	}, {
		.name		= "rootfs",
		.offset		= 0x1b0000,
		.size		= 0x600000,

Because 0x40000 + 160000 = 0x1a0000
Pls see the old thread for more infos

I kind of thought this thread is dead, thanks for the reply.

To be honest, I don't know how to interpret this:

Because 0x40000 + 160000 = 0x1a0000

But, that old thread has

{
        .name        = "linux",
        .offset      = 0x040000,
        .size        = 0x170000,
    }, {
        .name        = "rootfs",
        .offset      = 0x1B0000,
        .size        = 0x630000,
    }

for the mach-device.c while the github has

{
		.name		= "linux",
		.offset		= 0x040000,
		.size		= 0x160000,
	}, {
		.name		= "rootfs",
		.offset		= 0x1b0000,
		.size		= 0x600000,
	}

and all the rest are the same, so will change the .size of linux and rootfs fix my problem (by directing upgrading to a new firmware with this modification) or is that not enough (since I tried one of the firmware posted in another thread from 2018 and I'm having the exact same problem after upgrading, but I guess it's around the same time as the last commit, so maybe it's the same issue)?

8

It's a hexadecimal calculation.

Just change .size = 0x170000 in "linux" partition, rebuild firmware & reflash.

For whatever reason, it's still using ram for any writable storage, so I guess it's not the wrong flash partition size that's causing this?

10

What does the kernel log say?
How do you define the image recipe in Makefile?

Ps. They have had the math / definitions wrong already in 2013.
Note that their rootfs_data seems to overlap factory, nvram and language. Based on below, it might be 04 / 17 and 1b / 60, so that total firmware area would be 04 / 77 ending to 7b where nvram area starts.

I'm not sure what you mean by image recipe (did you mean the Makefile at target/linux/ar71xx/image/Makefile?), but I just forked it on GitHub and changed the "linux" partition .size from 0x160000 to 0x170000 as above.

I didn't see any rootfs_data related entry in target/linux/ar71xx/files/arch/mips/ath79/mach-xwr100.c, so which should I look for (is this the image recipe you asked about)?

12

Rootfs_data is just the read/write overlay area split off at the end of the rootfs. ( From end of image to end of partition) the log extracts pretty much show that, quite normally.

Your problems come from something else, as the jffs2 magic id is not found at the start of the partition, as expected. All those errors.

I mean this
https://github.com/cmtsij/openwrt_XWR100/commit/c118eed8c9fcb727acdd18b2ffa177ae98e215d4#diff-cf6be97ce76c0bd6620a3835e8c6fea9b7d83483dc04936311de639dea619853R826-R832

It is old code, but likely means that kernel size is 1507328 bytes before rootfs. 1507328 is 23 blocks of 64 kB. 23 is 16+7, so hexadecimal 170000 sounds as the right size for kernel.

14

Is it because target/linux/ar71xx/image/generic.mk (line 826) didn't specify the correct MTDPARTS (line 27) (based on this)?

15

One possible reason is that kernel has grown, and is now larger than 1,5 MB.
You should investigate the image with a hex editor to see if there is zero padding after kernel until 0x170000. If kernel is larger, the rootfs would start at an unexpected place. (You would need to try changing the defined partition sizes)

Edit:
But if your image actually boots ok, that theory does not hold water.

16

It looks like my issue is not related to this (I guess there is no point in changing the .size of linux):

01538d0 38 fe 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
01538e0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
*
0170000 68 73 71 73 6e 04 00 00 f3 2c 75 5b 00 00 04 00

Forgive me for asking a stupid question, but what are .offset and .size representing? (I kind of thought that .size means the total size of partition size, and .offset is where the partition begins. By this logic, the rootfs should begin at 0x1b0000, which is not the case, I guess).

17

The image f

Yes.

In flash it should. So the math says.
But as the file does not get written to 0x0 in flash, but starting from 0x040000, inside the file the rootfs starts from position 0x170000.
So far it looks like expected (if that hexdump was from the image file).
