Creality K2 OpenWrt 21.02-SNAPSHOT nano editor

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello,
I am working with an Creality K2 printer that is running OpenWrt 21.02-SNAPSHOT r0-8ddd3b975. The only file editor available is vi. Is there anyway to add/enable nano as an alternative? It appears that nano is included.

root@K2Plus-60A8:~/K2-Mainsail-main/moonraker# find . -name nano -print
root@K2Plus-60A8:~/K2-Mainsail-main/moonraker#

Thank You

This doesn't sound like it's running a vanilla OpenWrt. You can try opkg install nano but all bets are off if there are any package repos online.

This is indeed a custom version of OpenWrt that did not come from the official OpenWrt project. The version that it is based on is half a decade (and three, almost 4 major revisions) old.

You'll need to reach out to Creality for support as there are no devices by this vendor supported by the official project.

If you're using windows, edit the file remotely using winscp.

Thanks for all the responses. Yes, it’s a terribly old version of OpenWrt, but that’s what the Creality K2 is based on. As well as nano is missing, so is opkg.
So, I guess that I will suffer along with vi. Unfortunately, I don’t use it enough to remember how to drive it. So I have to find some cheat nodes when I do.
