Rt3883 based Belkin F9K1109 gets LZMA error 1 -.> v22.03 and v21.02 release

lobotron · October 19, 2022, 2:13pm

no version newer than 19.07 seems to work with this model, the kernel does not load as it seems to be too big. The actual trunk 2022-10-18 has the same problem. It seems to be a similar problem as in: V22.03.0 release does not work on D-Link DIR-645 with the d-link Dir 645 router.

So no supported version nor the trunk is available for this model, is it a general rt3883 target problem?

It'a a known problem (possibly uboot bug). You can add intermediate loader uimage-lzma-loader. See dlink dir-645.
Just for test you can load openwrt firmware (alredy flashed) and start it from memory by hand:

tftpboot 81000000 firmware.bin
bootm 81000000

Very nice, this is an approach, but looking at current release might give an impression that it will just work easily. Funnily I searched git last weekend ...w/o finding sth. My very strange timing

nicefile · October 20, 2022, 9:56am

This change will also work for 22.03 . And best part it conserve precious space on 8MB spi device have . You might build yourself now or wait few days (weeks) to be added to stable .

xabolcs · October 23, 2022, 8:52am

FYI:

@hauke applied the fix for master in commit ac296f621058
so I backported the change to openwrt-22.03 and openwrt-21.02, they landed as
- ef5b1ffb9ea3 for openwrt-22.03 and
- 09a649ff4ba0 for openwrt-21.02

lobotron · October 25, 2022, 6:11pm

happy to see it, this means that the next build for 22.03 [21.02] will carry the change and the source tree already has it? Without building from source do one have to wait for the next service release or is openwrt build from time to time even if there is no new release?

xabolcs · October 25, 2022, 7:38pm

Exactly.

You could use the SNAPSHOT versions of those service releases! They already include the fix!

https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/22.03-SNAPSHOT/targets/ramips/rt3883/

https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02-SNAPSHOT/targets/ramips/rt3883/

Once you installed one of them, you should install auc for easier upgrade and switching releases.
