Mvebu: Switch to use a module for mv88e6xxx

For Developers

Commit eaa82118eadfd495f8512d55c01c1935b8b42c51
broke wan on wrt1900ac v1
reverting the commit fixed it.

i had this error too, but i rebuilt the firware a few hours later since then it has been fine on wrt1900ac v1. i think there was a period of dys-synchony between the the updatd linux kernel and the kmod.

3

I deleted the build dir started over same thing the kmod-dsa-mv88e6xxx is not created.
I have tried changing the build to apk. I will go back and see if that makes a difference.
First will look at the build log and see if there is a clue there.

4

The fix that I identified for wrt32x, has already been merged to the main/master.

But buildbot has not yet built a new version with it, so you only get it if you build with full toolchain from sources.
Buildbot will likely have it available for imagebuilder, firmware selector, owut, whatever in a day.

But it shouldn't have impact on 1900v1, I think.

There should never have been an issue with this particular device. If

this means the directory, I would suggest tmp/ would also have to be gashed.

I saw that commit but apparently it has not changed anything here. Still no kmod-dsa-mv88e6xxx is created so no wan just wifi after flashing. When I cloned the commit was there but no effect on wrt1900ac v1.

7

Could you elaborate? I deleted the openwrt clone and recreated.

8

I wasn't sure if you were just deleting the build_dir/ directory of the build root or a new tree. I will change a few wires around and flash a mamba I have here to check with my build...

If you select the device via menuconfig or defconfig, does the kmod show up in .config as selected ?
(Maybe easier to see from the diffconfig output: ./scripts/diffconfig.sh )

10

CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-dsa is not set

CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-dsa-mv88e6xxx is not set

11

I tried selecting the 1900v1 device in menuconfig, and the kmod got properly selected in .config. so, I suspect that there is something wrong in your build approach.

perus@ub2410:/OpenWrt/wrt3200$ grep -E "1900|dsa-mv" .config

(Currently building a test build just for fun, trying to see if the one shows up in the manifest)

This is strange I did a make menuconfig did a search and found this no wrt1900ac v1

TARGET_mvebu_cortexa9_DEVICE_linksys_wrt1900ac-v2 [=n] && <choice> && TARGET_mvebu_cortexa9 [=y]                    │  
  │   - TARGET_mvebu_cortexa9_DEVICE_linksys_wrt1900ac-v2 [=n] && <choice> && TARGET_mvebu_cortexa9 [=y]
13

Well, it is there for me, quite normally:

There is likely something wrong in your build env.
Delete also the contents of /tmp before trying menuconfig, and also check that you have pulled the newest git sources.

Will do thanks for your time.

For some reason it was not selected under kernel/network in make menuconfig recompiling now.

16

Thank you all for your time. It works now not really sure how or why it happened but all is well now.

Under kernel network it was not selected?
