I'm not familiar with OpenWrt's codebase but it looks like the problem lies in the mt76 WiFi driver.

Sounds familiar. Similar errors in message 244 (and the next few days, a month ago) in this thread.

This is what I see when I check the ACU status from cli.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Is there a way to return to snapshot firmware from recovery without performing a power cycle. It's causing issues with my network. I know that these are nightly snapshots but just trying to identify what's wrong here and what work around we can apply to keep this running.

maybe also change /etc/config/attendedsysupgrade to use asu.aparcar.org in case chef.libremesh.org gives you trouble.

1 Like

Yes, you can just
rm /sys/fs/pstore/* ; reboot
inside recovery, that will reboot into production firmware.

Thanks, I will give this a try.

This is very helpful. I will keep this in mind.

Thank you.

Can someone confirm if you can download the snapshots from asu.aparcar.org manually using browser? I am having hard time downloading the snapshot image from asu.aparcar.org, I tried flashing the sysupgrade image from asu.aparcar.org but it didn't have luci builtin and when I installed luci it went back to old gui and I am also having some issues with network connectivity and latency.

I've been having trouble with the latest builds (r17415+) from ASU servers. It seemingly installs fine, but after reboot, it's unresponsive (power LED solid, internet LED is off, and it neither receives an IP from upstream, nor serves IPs downstream), even to the reset long-hold. The only way to fix it was to power off, hold reset while booting, wait for recovery to kick in, and flash a clean firmware. After many, many experiments, I managed to get a build working, but it was very barebones (basically I only added luci and luci-theme-openwrt-2020 to it, and replaced the wolfssl implementations with openssl - including swapping wpad-basic-wolfssl with wpad-openssl).

@bobbythomas the "old GUI" is just a theme. If you install the package luci-theme-openwrt-2020 you'll get the new style. I don't know why the new theme isn't being used as default over the old bootstrap one.

Also, don't expect the ASU servers to be fast. It checks every 5 seconds, but a build can take up to 3-4 minutes to complete.

Ohh Thanks for sharing this info. I will give it a try again. Mine going into recovery mode quite often. It's only being used just as an accesspoint right now as all other services (NAT, DHCP, routing, WAN termination, etc) are handled by my firewall. Planning to add vlans to it once it becomes stable.

@aparcar has changed the API of the update server. New client versions are compatible again, and he is also going to provide compatibility endpoints for existing older version clients.

I been having problems too using as access point. What firewall do you use?

I've update the upgrade server to work with the legacy API as well. Please give it a try.

I am using Opnsense firewall.

I will check again and will let you know. Thank you.

@daniel

It seems that a new NAND flash driver for Mediatek with bad block management table (BMT) support was merged today.

Does it matter in sysupgrade (or later actions) if the UBI recovery partition is still the old one, with the old driver and without bad block management?
Should that recovery be reflashed with the new driver with BMT support?

1 Like

The new and the old driver both support BMT. The new driver initially did not, then it was backported. However, when using UBI, anyway we are not using BMT, hence it makes no difference from point of view of sysupgrade or existing data. Should just work[tm].

Well, apparently not.

Flashing r17435-97e32e9702 causes router to be nonfunctional.
The following pstore items are then visible in recovery.
