Use debug on log verbosity to prevent the crash.

[bahtsiz_bedevi]

@asvio I'm compiling from your sources. Why are there two 24.10 branches? nbg7815-24.10-nss and nbg7815-24.10.0-nss, what's the difference?

[asvio]

24.10.0-nss will not have any update. It is a fixed branch base on on openwrt 24.10.0 release tag.

24.10-nss branch will be update following oficial 24.10 branch so this branch will have patches to improve stability and to correct problems that appear with use, but it will not incorporate new functions that may affect stability.

[bahtsiz_bedevi]

@RaylynnKnight Could you add NBG7815's device page https://openwrt.org/inbox/toh/zyxel/nbg7815_armor_g5 to https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/zyxel/start ?

[RaylynnKnight]

https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/zyxel/zyxel_nbg7815_armor_g5 has existed since 2024/06/19. So I'm not sure what your are asking me to do.

[bahtsiz_bedevi]

You've forgotten to add the device page link

The link you posted is incomplete and contains only basic info. Compare it with the device page link I posted

[RaylynnKnight]

OK I thought you were talking about the Data Entry page, not the Device Details page. I've now created the Device Details page using the template and copied data over from your inbox page into the appropriate sections. I left your inbox page so that you can check to see if I missed anything. Once you've confirmed that the Device Details page contains all appropriate data then we can delete the inbox page.

[bahtsiz_bedevi]

@RaylynnKnight

copied data over from your inbox page

It's not my inbox page, it's OpenWRT's original device page for NBG7815.

@RaylynnKnight

I've now created the Device Details page using the template

The new device template doesn't look good enough to me. I copy/pasted the original device page. If this is against OpenWRT's plans for the device pages, please revert it.

[RaylynnKnight]

There is a reason that the template exists. It provides consistency in the pages and allows for data to be pulled from the Data Entry page. With your latest changes the page will need to be modified at the next patch release. This would not be necessary if you used the page template as requested.

[bahtsiz_bedevi]

Previous page was pulling the firmware release links and hardware details.
Hardware details in the data entry page is not good.
Added the release links section back, so it won't need to be updated with each release.

[RaylynnKnight]

If the hardware details in the data entry page are wrong then the correct way to handle this is to update the data entry page, not the device details page.

[bahtsiz_bedevi]

It's not wrong, it's insufficient. For NBG7815 instance
Where can I type chip info?
It has USB3.1 Gen2, not USB3.0
It has RGB led, where can I put it? Is it 1 or more than 20?

[bahtsiz_bedevi]

@asvio @AgustinLorenzo Some kernel modules are missing in Qualcommax packages repo. Is it okay to add them in advance to the firmware?

CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-fuse=y # required for some filesystems like ntfs-3g

[asvio]

@bahtsiz_bedevi

CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-fuse=y

I can include it in my next release, but do you really need it?
For the ntfs file system, I'm including the ntfs3 package, which is much faster than ntfs-3g.

If anyone needs any file systems other than those included in my releases, they should consider building their own firmware to suit their needs.

[bahtsiz_bedevi]

@asvio

I can include it in my next release, but do you really need it?

not needed, I'm building my own firmware

@asvio

For the ntfs file system, I'm including the ntfs3 package, which is much faster than ntfs-3g.

Where? I can't find ntfs3

[asvio]

@bahtsiz_bedevi

Where? I can't find ntfs3

CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-fs-ntfs3=y

[bahtsiz_bedevi]

@asvio

CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-fs-ntfs3=y

Ah, it's missing too. Okay let's see how fast it is

[bahtsiz_bedevi]

ntfs3 is unbelievably fast Thank you a lot!

[bahtsiz_bedevi]

@asvio have you ever encountered the ntfs dirty bit activated? On the internet, they say ntfsfix only clears the dirty bit, rather than fixing the problem. So when the ntfs disk faces a problem, Windows is needed to fix it. Is this true?
