1

Hello,
I am a new with openwrt , I have a minirouter with kernel 4.9.91 , OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r0+6704-51668ab / LuCI Master (f138fc93) , Qualcomm Atheros QCA9533 ver 2 rev 0
when I try to install OpenVPN I get :

Collected errors:
 * satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for openvpn-openssl:
 * 	kernel (= 4.14.125-1-4798db7ce04dcb4337e44dbaa2a958a0) * 
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package openvpn-openssl.
also when I try to install kmod-tun:

I can suppose, that you are using architecture like ar71x, but you should use snapshot from ath79. It is only my assumption.

3

yes its ar71xxx
sorry but how I can do that ? I am a new in openwrt ….

4

anyway to upgrade kernel only ?
thanks.

5

Download snapshot from ath79 folder:
https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ath79/

Yes, because it tries to use snapshot repository, being updated regularly.

sorry what I have to download exactly ?
how I can update ?
sorry but I am new user :slight_smile:
thanks.

The snapshot firmware on your router is very old and not compatible with packages (eg. openvpn) for latest snapshots. This is because openwrt snapshots and packages are updated daily.

You need to update the firmware on your router. Is OpenWrt 18 or 19 stable available for your router?

I don't recognise your 'minirouter' model. More information required such make and model number.

Snapshots are available if you have a v3.2 MiniBox.

https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/gainstrong/gainstrong_minibox_v3.2

A quick google suggests there was also a v3.0 box.

v3.0 vs v3.2
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/adding-support-for-minibox-v3-2/8863

It doesn't look like there is any official openwrt support for earlier v3.0 Minibox.

550 MHz QCA9531 is probably only good for 'up to' 13 Mbps openvpn speeds btw.

hello,
I try to install v3.2 but it's not work anymore the device stopped.
thanks.

If you installed v3.2 image on v3.0 Minibox, you have probably bricked it.

According to original commit for Minibox v3.2, there may be an 'Upload firmware to uboot via HTTP at 192.168.1.1' (press button for 5 seconds) if v3.0 is similar to v3.2 minibox. You will need original firmware from manufacturer.
