OpenWrt 19.07.01 does not work on SolidRun Clearfog Pro

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I have a SolidRun Clearfog Pro which works like a charm with an old version of openwrt (18.05).

I thought i install the latest version on a sdcard, remove the old (working) one, plug in the new one, upload the configuration and it should work.
Unfortunately, there is something very wrong going on with the eth switch.

this is, how it looks like now (working version)

i can not connect to 192.168.1.1 and i do not get an ip address. i guess there is something going on with the namings of eth0/eth1 and eth2 or with the modes that are used!

any help is very appreciated!

There has been some chatter about interfaces being renamed, mostly on ath79 coming from ar71xx but it might be on mvebu too, since things have been shuffled around in multiple places.

What happens when you wipe boot a clean image? I assume that works, since you need a clean 19.07 boot to restore your old 18.06 settings...

Better use your config backup as a reference to reconfigure manually instead of just dumping it onto your 19.07 setup wholesale.

4

guess i am doomed to do so. but this comes with a lot of trouble and hacks because it is simply broken.
unfortunately this whole 19.xx thing seems to be very different than 18.xx

that clearfog pro has a switch (br-lan) with 5 or 6 eth ports.
this br-lan got an ip address 192.168.1.1 by default, so this first seems ok. BUT: its on the wrong device. because i was unable to do any ping to 192.168.1.1 nor did i get any dhcp response.
So the switch is completly broken in the default build.

I will later try to disable all interfaces, set up the wan port (because that one has its own chip and gets recognized) with 192.168.1.1, delete all firewall rules, set up on my laptop 192.168.1.2, plug those (wan of clearfog and eth of my laptop) together and try to reach the luci interface.

anyway, this is a big mess. feels extremly unstable to me if there are changes that completly makes that thing unusable.

my english is not the best so i dont understand what you mean with "wipe boot a clean image".
this is from a fresh, clean build image without any configuration. this is the default configuration that comes with "make -j8" on target "solidrun clearfog pro". and on 18.xx this was working (getting an ip when i plug in the ethernet cable to one of the switched ports and accessing luci on 192.168.1.1). on 19.xx it does not.

5

whats confusing me a bit is that 192.168.1.1 is on both (working and non-working) on br-lan. and br-lan has on both configurations the same mac as eth1. so maybe there is simply the switch broken on 19.xx and no way to access it. then 19.xx is unusable with a clearfog pro

6

got it working now. was a bit mess to guess the correct device without mii-tool.

eth0 is now the switch port (all rj45 ports after the sfp port)
eth1 is now the sfp port
eth2 is the first rj45 port (normally the wan port on "regular" dsl connections)

i uploaded my old configuration and just changed /etc/config/network
looks good at the moment, except some luci problems

7

Was this solved in 19.07.2?

To quote slackito
"I thought i install the latest version on a sdcard, remove the old (working) one, plug in the new one, upload the configuration and it should work....i can not connect to 192.168.1.1 and i do not get an ip address"

Help :frowning:

8

no, because then it would again f*ck my configuration, and this did not happen.
There seems to be a big change between 18.x and 19.x which destroys the configuration.
well, actually not the configuration but the assignment of names to the ports.

do you also have a clearfog pro?
i connected by serial usb. what i think is the best/easiest way to get this running again.

9

Thats not the answer I was hoping for. Has this bug been reported?

Yes, I'm running (trying) a CFpro - upgrading from ancient LEDE
Is there a place to DL 18.x snapshot?.... I dont know how to build images

Or how complicated is the serial USB route?

10

connecting with serial usb is quiet easy. just plug a usb cable into a computer (e.g. laptop), plug the other side into the clearfog, connect to it.
depending on your os on the computer, you can either use putty or just use the console.

screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200

then you have full access to the device and can configure it as required.
but what is more easy (what i do) is to checkout the openwrt source and configure it yourself.
then you just make a "make -j8" and wait and get a sdcard image.
the big advantage is: you can create images containing your complete configuration

btw. i was also running LEDE and this has been reported and they know it, but for them its not a bug, its a feature :slight_smile: it is a change that kills running systems, people must be prepared to re-configure everything after upgrading from 18.x to 19.x

what you can do after an upgrade: replace all the devices as i mentioned above in the /etc/config/network file
eth0 is now the switch port
eth1 is now the sfp port
eth2 is the first rj45 port

unfortunately i do not have the old assignment names so i can not tell you to e.g. replace eth0 with eth1, eth1 with eth0 etc.

edit: i did post the working one, so it is possible to see what/how it changed
change all eth0 to eth1
change all eth1 to eth0
eth2 seems to be still on the same naming
no guarantee that it works that way, but i guess it should :slight_smile:

there is no place to download 18.x snapshot afaik, only releases which are old. try to upgrade if possible and configure your network with usb serial. if you need further help i could also try to assist you on irc or so...

11

Thanks for your experience/ideas!
All of this feels beyond my current abilities.

I hope they like their "feature", for me it has basically bricked my device! :-\

12

if you are able to connect by serial usb, just execute the following, then everything should work as expected:

cp /etc/config/network /etc/config/network.bckup
sed 's/eth0/ethx/g' /etc/config/network >  /etc/config/network
sed 's/eth1/eth0/g' /etc/config/network >  /etc/config/network
sed 's/ethx/eth1/g' /etc/config/network >  /etc/config/network
reboot

it is untested but i guess that should do it

13

I also ran into this issue and am a bit confused. Might also be because I am very new to OpenWRT.

In the newest image, the file /etc/config/network does not exist when the sdcard is fresh. The file seems to be created during the first boot. After the device is booted, I can not ping the switch ports by the default IP "192.168.1.1".
As such I would assume something is broken inside the build for the ClearfogPro -> it should run with a freshly flashed sdcard. What are your thoughts on this?

No issues whatsoever with previous releases. I downloaded 18.06 from here: https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.8/targets/mvebu/cortexa9/

I have some issues with the UART connection. Normal bootup does not show the login prompt. Only by entering failsafe mode [F] + [Enter] can I login to the device. Not sure though what this is related to, as it is the same in current and previous release.

EDIT:
I went ahead and did my own build, which shows the same behaviour as 19.07 as expected. I went on and modified the ethernet initialization to represent the interface list as given by @slackito.
With this patch, the generated image works after a installing freshly on a new sdcard.

It seems the order in which the interfaces are initialized / named in OpenWRT (?) changed, while the configuration script did not. Any thoughts?

14

for me, the most normal use case would be to connect to the switch port and being able to ping 192.168.1.1 as it was in 18.xx
anyway, whats really annoying is that there is a change without changelog information that customers might run into this problem. and this is serious.

15

With the patch above, the 192.168.1.1 IP is again available on the switch interfaces. So normal use case as to both our understanding is restored.
The standalone ethernet port also seems to work as expected.
I was not able to test the SFP, as I do not have a module.

Totally agree. I spent some time browsing the git commits today in the hope to understand what changed. But without knowing what and which part of the code to look at, that time was wasted...

16

Did anyone ever manage to get 19.07.0x up and running on the ClearFog Pro? and if so would you be willing to share the .img file of your uSD?
I am completely stuck with a bricked device :frowning:

17

the image for sd cards is available for regular download at https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.3/targets/mvebu/cortexa9/

when you use that image, use the eth2 port (the WAN port) then you should be able to connect to 192.168.1.1

i use 19.07.03, because .04 is not compileable with gcc10, with success

what do you mean with "bricked device"? bricked normally means: its f*cked.
which should be impossible on a sd card

i would recommend you: build your own image. then you can simply modify everything as you need it.
when i build my image, it contains everything. wifi password, network configuration etc. - thats also the reason why i can not share mine with you (or anyone else)
