NanoPI R2S is a great OpenWrt device

No perfect.

I would be interested to get netdata-chart-sqm.

I'm newbie to Openwrt. I tried to install git to clone netdata-chart-sqm but the package is not available. Do i need to update the disfeeds.conf or customfeeds.conf ?

Thanks

_FailSafe · July 6, 2020, 5:32pm

No worries! Short answer is that it's not yet a package. I would be willing to take it that direction at some point if people find it useful, but I haven't gotten much feedback to-date.

To install it, follow the directions here: https://github.com/Fail-Safe/netdata-chart-sqm#installation

I don't want to take this thread too far off-topic, so feel free to fire any more netdata-chart-sqm follow-up questions my way over on this thread: SQM Reporting?

ced2git · July 6, 2020, 7:23pm

Hi,

Could you please share your distfeeds.conf and customfeeds.conf ?

Mine is reporting this :

src/gz openwrt_core http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/rockchip/armv8/packages
src/gz openwrt_base http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/packages/aarch64_generic/base

I'm missing the pakcages openwrt_packages.... can i just add it ?

Hi @jayanta525, added this setting to /etc/config/network (please find the complete network under my comment.

I'm getting no internet connection on my WAN (i need for T-mobile in NL VLAN300).
How to change this to get an internetconnection?
My UTP cable (comes from the mediaconverter goes to WAN, then LAN cable to switch (also directly to laptop) gets no internet connection.
Is this board usable for T-Mobile in NL, with VLAN 300?
Settings for switch in C7: https://ibb.co/7WGz4xM

config interface 'loopback'
	option ifname 'lo'
	option proto 'static'
	option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
	option netmask '255.0.0.0'

	option multipath 'on'

Don't know if it makes sense but in my C7 (with working internet), my network setting is:

config interface 'loopback'
	option ifname 'lo'
	option proto 'static'
	option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'

This should be the same on your C7 and R2S.

You are missing the ".300" in your wan on the R2S. You've defined this under "wanb" which is fine, if you've added "wanb" to your wan firewall zone. You may want to just delete wanb and add ".300" to wan.

Also, you have a "option gateway '192.168.1.1'" under your lan, I don't think you want that. Even if you have wanb in your wan firewall, wanb has a metric of 20 so all your traffic is going to go to 192.168.1.1.

jayanta525 · July 8, 2020, 3:02am

@Tommiefr as @db215 mentioned, you've added additional sections in your /etc/config/netwok

I am using a customised build of OpenWrt and was having issues with tagged traffic on eth0 interface. I am working on it to see if it's consistent across build.

If tagged traffic on eth0 doesn't work, use eth1 (i.e. switch WAN and LAN ports)

Use this configuration (default LAN/WAN):

config interface 'loopback'
        option ifname 'lo'
        option proto 'static'
        option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
        option netmask '255.0.0.0'

config globals 'globals'
        option ula_prefix 'fdb9:3209:03e7::/48'

config interface 'lan'
        option proto 'static'
        option netmask '255.255.255.0'
        option ip6assign '60'
        option ipaddr '192.168.1.1'
        option ifname 'eth1'

config interface 'wan'
        option ifname 'eth0.300'
        option proto 'dhcp'

config interface 'wan6'
        option ifname 'eth0.300'
        option proto 'dhcpv6'

Note:

If the above configuration still doesn't work for you, swap the LAN/WAN ports. i.e. use eth0 for LAN and eth1 for WAN, in that case, eth1.300 will be your wan ifname.
You might have to clone your Archer C7 WAN mac address (if that's what your ISP requires).

@jayanta525 @db215; my internet is working!! Thnx!

Next problem is to have the filesystem write protected.... I cannot upload (OVPN files) / change settings / do updates (see attachment)
In here I am trying to update the base files but getting an eror

Try with Putty, i can login but after typing the password i get this error:

I installed the EXT4 image: ( openwrt-rockchip-armv8-friendlyarm_nanopi-r2s-ext4-sysupgrade.img.gz

Tried with this one (squashfs version): openwrt-rockchip-armv8-friendlyarm_nanopi-r2s-squashfs-sysupgrade.img.gz as well, but this one I cannot configure at all...

I installed the IMG file with Rufus tot SD card.

How to get the filesystem writeable again?

EnfermeraSexy · July 8, 2020, 8:47pm

Install ext4, update with squashfs and then do factory reset

jayanta525 · July 8, 2020, 9:01pm

Hello, @Tommiefr

The release were made to be a quick-trial image.
The release builds might not have all the required packages, specially the kmod-packages. Although, those can be used as daily drivers, but those are not intended to serve that purpose.
on boot, ext4 filesystem is mounted as read-only, this seems to be an issue with openwrt/master, and it should be fixed by now.
You need to compile your own build, will all the packages you require from the source. You can follow the steps on GitHub or here to get started with CI/CD.

OR, you could try with the lastest preview release from here: https://github.com/jayanta525/openwrt-nanopi-r2s/releases/tag/v2.0r1

Tommiefr · July 8, 2020, 9:27pm

Thnx for the great support on this, @jayanta525 ! Really hope a 'stable' version will come out soon!
Impressive what you already achieved! I am a noob building the image but i will wait for a solution!

For me personally i do not need to install additional packages but configure them, so writable, will be very usefull

Will try @EnfermeraSexy solution tomorrow. Perhaphs this works! Simply install ext4 and in openwrt update it?

cozuma · July 10, 2020, 2:59pm

My R2S system is still running fine after a month. Now using the better black case for cooling, temps stay below 50°C always (45°C now). Built from jayanta repo with included USB wi-fi driver (wi-fi still works). I rebuilt after the v2.0 release, that image runs fine as well. I am able to edit and write files to the system.

Snapshot releases will be even better.

Thanks @jayanta525!

Tommiefr · July 10, 2020, 3:42pm

Is it possible to share the builts somewhere?
I have now installed the original friendly version but i prefer this one

cozuma · July 10, 2020, 7:46pm

Sure, but you should compile this with the packages you need. I didn't include OpenVPN, so it's probably not useful for you. If you can't compile, you may be better off using friendly until snapshot release.

Collected errors:
 * satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for openvpn-mbedtls:
 *      kernel (= 5.4.50-1-bd4cc498bfaff5f8c49e51163dfb31a0)
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package openvpn.

EnfermeraSexy · July 11, 2020, 5:47pm

I think that if you dont use openvpn-openssl you won't take advantage of crypto acceleration from the rockchip.

cozuma · July 11, 2020, 5:57pm

well same issue anyway

EnfermeraSexy · July 11, 2020, 6:08pm

Well, you have to select it before you compile the new build.

cozuma · July 11, 2020, 6:10pm

I know , I was trying to show Tommiefr what the issue was with using other people's images.

rjgould · July 11, 2020, 8:50pm

Hi @jayanta525 can I ask for more information on how you do this. I feel like I'm missing something obvious but I just can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks

jayanta525 · July 11, 2020, 8:54pm

I checked your fork in GitHub. You almost had it figured out, just activate circleci from github marketplace.

rjgould · July 11, 2020, 10:12pm

Awesome, thanks! Looked like I've managed to start it running, now just need to wait and see if I've broken it
