Created this topic to discuss community OpenWrt NSS builds for Arcadyan AW1000

Just a bit of an update for those who are waiting for a new release, I'm currently busy IRL and we are moving on to a new place so apologies for the delay.
Hello, Im using arcadyan Aw1000 and compiled a firmware from qosmio. The build is succesful but I am not able to connect to either qmi or quectel CM.
What I did - after loading the firmware, configured protocol to quectel - it is not connecting
Tried qmi on same firmware - it is not connecting
I thought my simcard has a problem so I loaded my previous build without quectel-cm and it worked flawlessly.
It is something with this build - I see its connecting to wwan0_1 which do not have a device associated and not the wwan0.
Anyone has a luck connecting quectel cm on aw1000?
Hi there, can you post your system logs here?
Since qmi_wwan_q driver is used as default, you will not be able to use the qmi protocol.
I think quectel proto has a bug whenever you selected an ipv4 APN type.
As a workaround, you can create a separate DHCP interface that links to wwan0_1 interface.
This bug has been fixed in @xHikari's build.
I am getting error building from hikaris repo
can you enable verbose on your command? add V=sc on your build command
If you're using multicore compile before, that could be the issue, that is normal at first.
Thank you will try this
update : I have no success after the build. Modem keeps on rebooting after adding quectel cellular. it will reboot and quectel cellular protocol will be gone after.
I am trying to rebuild using single proc and see if there are any difference
I was able to rebuild using single core without any error. However after adding interface for quectel cellular - save and apply, modem will reboot then interface is gone.
This is a known issue with wwan build, make sure to enable needed NSS DRV capabilities on your config specially RMNET

hello all,I am able to build successfully for my AW1000 using NSS / Quectel. it runs fine now even after restart, my only issue is regarding LED. Do you have any insights on how I can work with LED like or example give a LED color based on signal ?
Hi, im checking if this thread is still alive? I have created a new build using qosmio repo with wwan package from immortal
Kernel 6.6.56
NsS 11.4
Reason im studying this build because NSS mentioned that offloading is happening where resources should be from the SOC instead of cpu core.
Im using arcadyan aw1000 and when doing speedtest, I can see cores jumping up just like non NSS build..
I ensured that kernel drivers for NSS required is installed.
Am I missing something?
Can you post your kernel logs here?
There should be a line like this:
net wwan0 wwan0_1: NSS context created
Also make sure that SW/HW offload and Packet Steering are disable as these conflicts with NSS offloading.
