Davidc502- wrt1200ac wrt1900acx wrt3200acm wrt32x builds

On second try I wanted a more detailed log (pressed 4 when booting LEDE).
I received following logs - https://pastebin.com/NzJaC3Ye
On reboot - https://pastebin.com/acDx2qEH

Yup, that worked. I'm a little surprised the default of "Interface/Wan" doesn't work anymore but this will be fine for the time being.

Thanks!

I am not. I keep meaning to set up dnscrypt and I never do. I suppose I'm using the default dnscrypt settings from your build but I haven't personally set anything up.

Good deal.. When I first saw the logging, besides the error, it seemed to be detecting the outside interface and assumed it was being relayed, but when I logged into changeip, the last update was the day I flashed the latest build, so there was definitely a problem.

Thanks for bringing it up on the forum.

Had flashed r5621 (2017-12-27) with 4.9.70 kernel and 10.3.4.0-20171214-1 version of mwlwifi drivers.
Router uptime right now is double of that I can achieve with the latest build. Still working - will write if anything happens.

will fix it now :wink:

Nope - 3.5 hours and reboot with "Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address".
At the moment, after reboot works normal, but I cannot say if its going to last long.
What could be the problem? Can it be a hardware issue?

UPD: + 30min and continuous reboots. Shut down for 5 mins - working.
UPD2: over 4.5 hours, working stable. But temperature on CPU never went above 80 degrees (77.7 avg). Can this be a heat issue?

Today i've noticed a message in my Kernel Log that i've never noticed before...

nf_conntrack: default automatic helper assignment has been turned off for security reasons and CT-based firewall rule not found. Use the iptables CT target to attach helpers instead.

Does anyone have some infos about this?

This message is also found in other compilations SuperWRT Linksys WRT1900ACS v2 Kernel 4.14.67!

I found out that it has something to do with (recent) Kernel changes but i'm too noobish to exactly understand what it means. But looking at the message it is something related to security.

more followup re: login password, after doing a complete reinstall and restoring from backup the issue went away! I love it when a plan comes together!

Hi David! Could you add support for BBR congestion algorithm in the next release of the WRT1200AC firmware?

Dear Dave,
Hello and I hope that you are well. Thank you for the continued outstanding work and production on your Custom Builds. I am not complaining; but is there any particular reason that STUBBY and GETDNS were removed from your repository on the latest Build Lede SNAPSHOT r7938 on 8/26/2018?
Also, can you or anyone here on this thread assist me in getting luci-app-bcp38 and bcp38 installed and configured properly on my OpenWrt / Lede Router.I was hoping that you can help me out. I was unable to find a guide or tutorial anywhere. I am a retired English Teacher and if you are kind enough to share a detailed description of how to implement these packages; I will gladly write up a tutorial on the LEDE / OpenWrt Forum. Please see a tutorial which I wrote here for DNS OVER TLS ( using Unbound and Stubby ) on the aforementioned Lede forum:

So - if it is not too much of an imposition, I truly would appreciate your help in my setting this up for myself and others. I wish to thank you in advance for the time and effort you give to the furtherance and advancement of this project.
May God Bless You and Yours Always -

In Peace and Grace,

8+ hours of stable work. Then at about 83.5 degrees there comes a reboot. 10 minutes of rest - temperature on CPU drops to 71 degrees and router keeps working as if nothing happened. I may falsely link unrelated matters, but it really seems to be a hardware issue and is connected to CPU temperature.
Can anyone tell me theirs working temperatures on this same model (idle/normal/full load) on CPU/WLAN?

According to Marvel site ( https://www.marvell.com/embedded-processors/armada-38x/ ) - "The ARMADA 38x family supports Industrial Grade which can operate between -40°C to +105°C.".
According to Marvel product guide ( https://datasheet.octopart.com/88EM8801-Marvell-datasheet-13758780.pdf page 42) 88W8864 has a working temperature between 0°C to +70°C.
Both statements go against my observations.
I really want to make sure if this is a software or hardware issue. (Really I want this issue solved - have spent to much time to determining the cause and really tired of going in circles with different firmwares)

Is there any firmware revision (davids) that is guaranteed to work with this model 24/7 and someone has an example (uptime data for instance)?

UPD: According to datasheet on 88F6820 (CPU) ambient temperature for commercial is maxed at 70°C and for industrial at 85°C, junction is maxed at 115°C - http://www.marvell.com/embedded-processors/armada-38x/assets/ARMADA-38x-Hardware-Spec.pdf page 106

Sorry i can't help you configure it but i wonder why the bcp38 package isn't included by default in david's builds. Afaik it's included in most custom/community builds.

Question: Do you get the same reboots when the Factory Firmware is installed?

Currently there are no reported issues with reboots on any of the Linksys 1900/1200 or 3200 lines. The last reboot issue I recall was with the 1900ac Version 1, and that fixed months ago.

I'm having trouble to install dnsmaq-full which i need for stangri's "vpn policy-based routing" package.
I'm following the readme but for some reason im not able to install dnsmasq-full... I'm pretty sure it worked in the past.

opkg update; opkg remove dnsmasq; opkg install dnsmasq-full

Any idea what's wrong here?

edit: even the offline installation doesn't work... :confused:

I could be wrong because I don't document each request, but I don't recall folks asking for it.

When I do a search for the package this is the description: bcp38 implements IETF BCP38 for home routers.

Can you give more information of what this package does, and why you use it? Do you see this package becoming utilized by more people? << Appreciate the thoughts here.

Best Regards,

It's been a while since I have installed dnsmasq full because of past inherent issues, but doesn't dnsmasq full need simple dnsmasq as well?

Those two packages are still a part of the .config to build, and haven't been removed. This is usually a sign that they failed to compile during the build process. They should be back in the next build. Please let me know if this is not the case and I'll take a closer look.

Thanks,

David
