Anyone knows if there is a prebuild module for a LSI/SAS2008 controller for a x86 based openwrt NAS box build?
as requested in your old thread post lspci -nn.
I don t imagine it will do any difference.
01:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller [0107]: Broadcom / LSI SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] [1000:0072] (rev 03)
And the mighty ubuntu live cd says driver module is...
that would be mpt3sas. And, no, it is not currently built in OpenWrt
bjorn@canardo:/usr/local/src/openwrt$ git grep SCSI_MPT3SAS
target/linux/generic/config-6.6:# CONFIG_SCSI_MPT3SAS is not set
Should be easy to add for a specific build. Probably doesn't make any sense for the distro.
Under ubuntu the file name for the module is mpt3sas
But I also seen mptsas as the module name on other distros for the LSI SAS2008 chips et controller.
But I can't find a module for my nice openwrt box
No I figured, not many use a RAID array in a router.
but openwrt did just seem to be a Perfect small foot print platform for low power usage embedded NAS system, nice http GUI with samba etc.
But thanks anyway.
I pass Kernel build and module building for openwrt, I try a small std. Linux install instead, or if I can find a dedicated NAS distro that not requires 16gb ram.
Or not, you say easy, can you point me in a direction to read about adding support
Take a look at a few of the files under https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/tree/main/package/kernel/linux/modules
These makefile snippets define how to buld OpenWrt kmod packages for kernel modules in mainline Linux. It's basically just a config setting or two, file(s) to install, and some boilerplate. What you need to do is to figure out the necessary config options and dependencies for the mtp3sas driver and create a similar entry for it.
