Calling the url https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/packages/powerpc_8548/telephony/Packages.gz in the webbrowser returns a 404 Not found. THis seems to be due to the folder https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/packages/powerpc_8548 missing in the repository.

Is this a problem on my side or is this a problem of the repository?

Btw. i did the exact same manual successfully in Q4 of 2022.

Thank you & regards

From where is that powerpc_8548 coming from?
I don't remember us ever having that architecture.

There is 8450 but not 8458.
Like there is in the data sheet for that router

Hi,

thank you. Im not sure where whis is coming from. Basically ive setup the AP strictly by the commands:

setenv boot_openwrt "cp.b 0xEC000000 0x2000000 0x2000000; interrupts off; bootm start 0x2000000; bootm loados; fdt resize; fdt boardsetup; fdt chosen; bootm prep; bootm go;"
saveenv

setenv ipaddr 192.168.123.234;
setenv serverip 192.168.123.97;
tftpboot 0x2000000 3825i.bin;
interrupts off; bootm start 0x2000000; bootm loados; fdt resize; fdt boardsetup; fdt resize; fdt boardsetup; fdt chosen; fdt resize; fdt chosen; bootm prep; bootm go;

cd /tmp/
wget https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/mpc85xx/p1020/openwrt-mpc85xx-p1020-extreme-networks_ws-ap3825i-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
sysupgrade -v openwrt-mpc85xx-p1020-extreme-networks_ws-ap3825i-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

Do you have a hint for me as i`m not to deep into this.

Thank you.

Hmm. Apparently the CPU type has been changed two weeks ago, committed by @pepe

Possibly the packages buildbot is not yet adjusted to the CPU type change. We may need new architecture there...

Cc @pepe @ansuel who were active in that PR.

As an intermediate fix, you could edit this opkg site definition file and replace all 8548 with 8540. (I am not sure if the architecture declaration inside the package files already invalidates the packages, but that could be overridden.)

Definition file is
/etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf

It looks like buildbot is not uploading the new 8548 packages.
The old 8540 building has stopped on 30 Dec 2022 when the CPU change was merged. Dead since then.

Buildbot status for 8540

https://buildbot.openwrt.org/master/packages/#/builders/14

Apparently buildbot has not been told that it should now look for 8548.

Check the opkg options.
You might be able to override that with "--force-depends" option.
(But try that first with some simple package)

No luck with this:

Please follow up here: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/11629

If the CPU type name is just a cosmetic change (similar to the mips24kc vs. mips34k fuzz a while ago) then this commit shouldn't have been merged.

Hi,
I have the exact same problem, I flash two WS-AP3825i and now i can't install LuCI and other stuff.
Reading on github seem that CPU_TYPE was changed from powerpc_8540 to powerpc_8548, but support for 8548 didn't start yet and there's non repo available for this cpu type.

Maybe it's just a matter of time before they fix it, but is there a temporary fix for now? Can we force install package for a different cpu type? opkg install htop --force-depends have no effect.

Thank you.
