Awesome, thanks for the tip. Just got my new USB to serial TTL adapter today. I'll test it out 
Success 
. Got it flashed to OpenWRT. Set it up as an AP. Tried it as a wireless client but it does not want to associate with any AP I have here. I'll play around with the config and test it out over the next little while.
Thanks to everyone for your time and contributions thus far. Looking good
So I noticed the image is now available in the snapshots. I'll go ahead and flash it.
Question
What can I do to help debug this unit and make OpenWRT run better, enable full functionality, ie vlans, wifi client mode, and anything else?
Anyone had any luck setting up the Lumas in a mesh? I'd be interested in a hard-wired backhaul configuration.
The original Luma has a few scripts in \opt\luma\bin, one specifically for backhaul wired_backhaul_agent.sh
Perhaps someone can write a quick guide.
Yes, see the thread here..

Thanks Andy (assumed your name, sorry if wrong)
Will try to make some time this weekend to read more about batman and will try to follow your post.
Hi all.
First off: drandyhaas, tmn505 and everyone. Thank you so much for all your efforts here. I have 4 luma units and can't wait to get them upgraded.
Which brings me to my question:
I'm following the instructions here https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=e24635710c7e6444afa463c59f3d81fe634eb3c7 to upgrade.
But after booting the initramfs image,
the next 2 commands file b/c it can't find fw_setenv
Any suggestion on how I can get past this?
thank you!
fw_setenv is there for me in openwrt.
But you could also run that from the uboot command line, like you do in step 6.
Thank you for you response. But still no luck. Sorry if I'm missing something. It's the first time I'm doing that low-level stuff with linux and embedded devices.
I'm thinking the issue may be that the initramfs image doesn't boot up correctly.
Below is what I see on screen. I can see that it's entering procd: - init - but it never completes (I do see the procd: - init completed - message during the regular boot sequence, but never with the new image).
I also noticed that during regular boot sequence that squashfs complains about corrupted data. Could the 2 be related?
Finally, I used the luma snapshot files from https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ipq40xx/generic/. Should I try building them myself instead?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi everyone.
figure it out for whoever wants to try it too.
You should compile your own images.
if you use the ones from the openwrt web site, you'll miss the files required.
After creating my own image and deploying it, the upgrade worked as expected.
Thank you again for your work on it.
Now on to enabling the mesh
Hi. As already mentioned Luma Home WiFi support, the device is supported in snapshots.
@tonym
Indeed uboot-envtools are missing on the snapshots builds. You can work aroud it with opkg update and opkg install uboot-envtools (also works on initranfs image). There seems to be some bug in buildbot which ignores DEVICE_PACKAGES.
@adipus @drandyhaas @jpstoppa @rayclark and anyone who may be concerned.
If You used my tree as a base for image compilation, You'll need to reinstall OpenWrt using installation instructions from the commit message in upstream repository. The official OpenWrt images are not compatible with the ones from my tree (we changed the location where the firmware is stored).
Following the upstream installation instructions will wipe remains of original firmware, if someone didn't make a backup I can upload two versions of kernel image (for those that wish to revert to original firmware). Two versions of ubi_rootfs are already in this post: Luma Home WiFi support.
Sorry for the inconvenience. You can check rationale from the conversation in https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openwrt/patch/20200830112811.6175-1-tomek_n@o2.pl.
Thanks. I read the patchwork thread. If I have loaded all my lumas with your branch do I need to breakout the usb to uart adapter again? You mention upstream installation instructions, I am confused. Does the released openwrt now support the luma home devices?
Sorry if I am dense.
Was wondering the same. I could not get the snapshot image to boot. Eventually I went back to my USB TLL cable and reflashed the image that @tmn505 posted. So for now just have to compile images the way tmn505 outlined. Have to wait till the weekend. Eventually snapshots will work, just a matter of time to get the bugs ironed out 
Just flashed today on three separate Lumas. I followed the instructions here, using the latest snapshot images from OpenWRT. Was pretty quick and painless. The only thing I noticed is that on 80MHz 5GHz I was only getting ~200 Mbps down even at a link speed of 780 Mbps (I know this is theoretical but I've experienced 500+ on other AC access points). Other than that, this has been an amazing way to repurpose these otherwise useless access points that were sitting in a box.
@jpstoppa @rayclark
Maybe I can provide instructions to move to upstream OpenWrt images which can be performed on running system. Please provide output of ubinfo -a and ls -l /dev/ubi*.
Please help.
When running the tftp command, I get stuck here. Can anyone help?

Bad ethernet cable? Or bad luma unit?
Likely a problem with the connection to your TFTP server. First thing to check is that you have the link up on both the TFTP server and Luma.
If that checks and assuming you only have one TFTP server running (i.e. you didn't install multiple servers and they conflict), check the following:
-
The PC (or whatever device) running the TFTP server has the IP specified by Luma when you issued the tftpboot command. In your case IP: '192.168.1.250', netmask '255.255.255.0'.
-
The TFTP server binds the above IP.
-
The server's base directory contains the xxx.itb file. In your case 'openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-luma_wrtq-329acn-initramfs-fit-uImage.itb'.
-
You can ping the TFTP server from Luma, and vice-versa. In your case:
- From Luma:
ping 192.168.1.250
- From the TFTP server:
ping 192.168.1.201
- Use a TFTP client and confirm it can pull a file from the TFTP server.
I.e. assuming you use Windows and enabled the tftp client in Windows features, create a text file in the TFTP server's base directory, say: test.txt and put a few lines in it, then from command prompt issue the following:
tftp -i 192.168.1.250 test.txt %USERPROFILE%\Downloads
If you receive something of the sorts:
Transfer successful: 16 bytes in 1 second(s), 16 bytes/s
Your TFTP server runs fine, and all settings are OK. You can see that the file was transferred in your Downloads folder.
Hope this helps with your troubleshooting the issue.

I used another server as a TFTP server and all went smoothly but now I have another problem.
I could not find a way to follow the build manual (add extra packages from that huge list) and used the images from the repository (https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ipq40xx/generic/) .
I could successfully flash the image and now OpenWrt is booting but I have no access to the web interface. I checked and uhttpd is not running and its not even available to start on the router.

Even to access the router from my network I had to add some network routes.
Can anyone help me pass this ? Should I build my own image ?
And if so, in the make menu config, how can I mark to install all the necessary modules ?
