I have some troubles with setting up a batman mesh. I tried several tutorials to setup the batman mesh but I can't see if it is working or not. The strange thing is I always get the same error message from batctl, when I'm typing batctl o:

Any ideas what's going wrong on my side?
I'm using Cudy WR3000 V1 with additional packages kmod-batman-adv, luci-proto-batman-adv, wpad-mesh-wolfssl
I created a bat0 (Batman device), bat0_mesh (Batman interface) and created a jmomesh with network bat0_mesh over luci on all my mesh nodes. The jmomesh showing as connected on all nodes.
Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button (red circle; this works best in the 'Markdown' composer view in the blue oval):
Remember to redact passwords, VPN keys, MAC addresses and any public IP addresses you may have:
That's the point. Normally this should be valid as you can read in the batman documentation. The interesting point is that the JSON tables are not filled anyways.
That's why I'm asking if anybody had a similiar phenomenon or ideas. It's not my first network to setup and for me as it looks like s.th. messed up maybe with the package compile or a wrong kernel setting.
For comparison reason how it should look like here is an excerpt from a Ubuntu proxmox VM (not active batman mesh):
Sorry you are right.
Did you checked the dependencies of batctl?
I assume as long as the kmod is loaded and batctl is installed it should work as you has verified on an other system.
