EdgeCore-EAP102

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Good Morning Sirs,
after trying to install openwrt-23.05.0-ipq807x-generic-edgecore_eap102-squashfs-factory.ubi following Matthew Hagan procedure, I got the device looping in these errors

[  691.846287] hsl_phy_phydev_get[798]:ERROR:phy_addr 3 phydev is NULL
[  692.874955] hsl_phy_phydev_get[798]:ERROR:phy_addr 0 phydev is NULL
[  692.874992] hsl_phy_phydev_get[798]:ERROR:phy_addr 1 phydev is NULL
[  692.880024] hsl_phy_phydev_get[798]:ERROR:phy_addr 2 phydev is NULL
[  692.886289] hsl_phy_phydev_get[798]:ERROR:phy_addr 3 phydev is NULL

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
Tony

try 23.05.2 too.

Tnx Frollic
but the problem persist in the same manner...lopp on phy_addr error

4

Please try the snapshot build. There are a few fixes regarding ssdk phydev enumeration in the snapshot.

Hi Kirdes,
if you mean for snapshot the one you can find here:
edge-core/edge-core_eap102_1

Already done as wrote in the first post.
Thank you

6

wouldn't be the snapshot.

https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ipq807x/generic/openwrt-ipq807x-generic-edgecore_eap102-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

Thnx kirdes,
but it's impossible to do sysupgrade with the error in loop.
How could I upload it?
Tnx again
Antonio

the factory image is the right one, @kirdes probably posted the wrong link https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ipq807x/generic/

10

Yeah sorry I thought you already installed OpenWRT.

BTW you can also open a ssh session to the running initramfs and do the install of the factory image. The log spam is only present in the serial connection.

Or use the snapshot initramfs image

Tnx Kirdes,
already tried to open an ssh session but , although I can see ip address (from serial monitor) assigned on br-lan (192.168.1.1) , the interface is not pingable and ssh fails.

Here you can see what I see from serial monitor:

same with all three factory images ?
23.05.0, .2, and snapshot ?

(stupid question, I know, just making sure)

14

Yes frollic

15

Please describe exactly what are you doing.

Do you bootm an initramfs image or do you cp the factory.ubi image via tftp and flash that in u-boot (as described in the commit message)?

Please try first to tftpboot the snapshot initramfs image and boot that (bootm)
And check if the log spam is fixed or still there.

16

I copy the factory.ubi image via tftp and flash it in u-boot.

Where I can find the snapshot image (I found only factory.ubi e update.bin)?
Thank you

17

images will be the same, but snapshots are bleeding edge, you've already been given the link.

18

this is the procedure I make:

tftpboot 0x44000000 openwrt-eap102-squashfs-factory.ubi`
sf probe
 imxtract 0x44000000 ubi
 nand device 0
 nand erase 0x0 0x3400000
 nand erase 0x3c00000 0x3400000
 nand write $fileaddr 0x0 $filesize
 nand write $fileaddr 0x3c00000 $filesize
 reset
19

if you're tftpboot:ing, you need to use the initramfs image, as @kirdes described,

20

so itb file..ok tomorrow I will try and let you know. I missed the second link, excuse me.
The commands for itb are the same as ubi files?
Thanx
