Build help for asia-rf mt7623

For Developers
1

I have purchased a geekforce board from asiarf and have been sent this file
mt7623.mk and a dts file mt7623-asiaRF-MT7623-N01.dts
My question is how do i incorporate/where do I put them in my build system such that I can build openwrt for this board?

Edit: I have found the location of mt7623.mk file at $Build/target/linux/mediatek/image/mt7623.mk
So I think I should replace the file in this location.

Where do I put the mt7623-asiaRF-MT7623-N01.dts file?
Edit: Dumb questions aside I have built an image for this board, it involved a minor modification to the dts file to prevent duplicate entries provided by the mt7623.dtsi file.

The firmware boot loops, this is the serial console output;

Can anybody advise as to what I have done wrong?

You're either missing modules for block devices and/or fs support, or your kernel boot params aren't clear enough for it to find the root fs.

Can't say anything about the DTS.

Thanks for the reply, I will check my config

Looks like you have a bogus partition table on the eMMC, which makes sense because it wasn't being used. Older images used to use mtdblock, and then command line MTD partitioning. We can still see that in your kernel command line, in fact:

For the U7623 this is the key difference between the 'legacy' upgrade image, and the full eMMC upgrade. In the latter case it can install a sane partition table and just use it. In the legacy case it only overwrites the 'firmware' region of the vendor's MTD partitioning. So we add 'blkdevparts=' on the kernel command line to ignore the nonsense in the actual MBR, and 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p2' to set the root device accordingly.

See target/linux/mediatek/dts/mt7623a-unielec-u7623-02-emmc-512m.dts:

bootargs = "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=squashfs,f2fs console=ttyS0,115200 blkdevparts=mmcblk0:3M@6M(recovery),256M@9M(root)";

Thank you so much for taking a look! Its been driving me nuts. One more question if I may, once ive figured out my build error, the mismatch/duplicate entries between dts and the dtsi I should be able to add the
blkdevparts=mmcblk0 to the kernel args declared in the dts or dtsi most likely, rebuild and it should, fingers crossed, boot?
I will try to find the time to do some more testing on this and post the findings, most likely not until the weekend, got some less interesting by higher paid work to do this week, once again Thank You for your time/info/knowledge!

You can drop all the block2mtd bits from the command line and use root= and blkdevparts= like the legacy U7623 image and assuming you get the details right, yes that should work. And then you can flash a full-system image which makes most of the complexity go away.

I took a quick look and couldn't see where to buy one of these. Do you have a supplier? @dangowrt want one?

7

I purchased it from AsiaRF as a project a while back, this is the link but its no longer in stock
AsiaRF-GeekForce-MT7623 I've not found them anywhere else since then either so I guess they are end of line and have been replaced by the MT7629 based boards.
I will put some time into building some firmware with the mods you have suggested and post back the results.

8

I've spent some time building cleaning and rebuilding and still not having any luck, this is the bootlog from an attempted legacy build and the command line arguments suggested. Its a different error but at a guess its a similar problem, and ideas?

sure you're supposed to use a sysupgrade image, or is it something else, renamed ... ?

10

its renamed on my tftp server , just so that I don't have to edit the bootfile argument in U-Boot.
Although the bootlog above I have copied the generated image openwrt-mediatek-mt7623-7623n-asiaRF-mt7623-n01-legacy-squashfs-sysupgrade-emmc-legacy.bin from the build/bin directory.
I will try it with openwrt-mediatek-mt7623-7623n-asiaRF-mt7623-n01-legacy-initramfs-kernel.bin

11

initramfs could work, if you load it to memory.

12

You put this on your command line....

But earlier you had this...

Those don't seem to match. On the original image (or whatever you've put on the eMMC), work out precisely where the squashfs file system actually is. And then make the partitions point to it.

Looks like you've just copied the line from the U7623 without changing it to match your actual disk layout?

13

yes, that's exactly what I did, so in my case (factory) becomes (recovery) and (firmware) is for kernel? and (usrdata) is my rootfs ?

Machine requires a power off after this happens

15

does it hang, or is it just waiting for you to press [enter] ?

16

It hangs, no amount of swearing or keyboard mashing has any effect

17

Is this the relevant information I need to work out? This is from the firmware that the board shipped with

Am I on the right track with these numbers? kernel and rootfs partition looks small for the 8.4MB initramfs that my build produced. Found my error, I will plug some of these numbers into devparts:

I've borken it, I loaded u-boot-mtk.bin from the build and now I don't have uboot over serial, just the preloader text then nothing.
Oh well
