Difficulty configuring BATMAN-ADV on Raspberry Pi

Community Builds, Projects & Packages

I'm trying to create an ad hoc mesh using raspberry pi 3 model b 1.2, OpenWRT and Batman-ADV
(Ad hoc because rasp doesn't support 802.11s)
Now I'm using only 2 and trying to connect the only on L2 using batman-adv
I was following the Batman-adv. web site instructions and some videos
and i always reach the same result

After configurate one of the nodes, by executing "batctl if" should appear the interfaces I configurate earlier but doesn't appear, this is my current configurations:

/etc/config/network

config interface 'bat0'
option proto 'batadv'
## optional settings to override the defaults:
option routing_algo 'BATMAN_IV'
option aggregated_ogms 1
option ap_isolation 0
option bonding 0
option fragmentation 1
option gw_mode 'off'
#option gw_bandwidth '10000/2000'
#option gw_sel_class 20
option log_level 0
option orig_interval 1000
option bridge_loop_avoidance 1
option distributed_arp_table 1
option multicast_mode 1
option multicast_fanout 16
option network_coding 0
option hop_penalty 30
option isolation_mark '0x00000000/0x00000000'

config interface 'bat0_hardif_mesh0'
option proto 'batadv_hardif'
option master 'bat0'
option mtu '1536'

/etc/config/wireless

config wifi-device 'radio0'
option type 'mac80211'
option path 'platform/soc/3f300000.mmcnr/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:0001/mmc1:0001:1'
option band '2g'
option htmode 'HT20'
option cell_density '0'
option channel '1'

config wifi-iface 'wmesh'
option device 'radio0'
option ifname 'mesh0'
option network 'bat0_hardif_mesh0'
option mesh_ttl '5'
option mcast_rate '24000'
option encryption 'none'
option mode 'adhoc'
option ssid 'my-mesh'

honestly i dont know whats wrong...

2

is this the build in RPi wifi chip ?

3

yes , it is the wifi chip

4

it's kind of useless, and crippled, function wise.

would be surprised if you actually got it to work as intended.

6

What u think i should do now? i cant change hardware
and this is a school project so i've to follow some guidelines

7

Does the guideline describe the setup on the RPi, running openwrt, specifically ?
In that case I guess I'm wrong, and it should work...

8

No , i have to use batman-adv and raspberry pi 3 model b 1.2

I am pretty sure that this is not possible based on the WiFi chipset.

You’ll need a proper WiFi ap or an all-in-one WiFi router. The pi’s WiFi is extremely limited.
