when i try:
./serio.py -s update.bin -d /tmp/update.sh -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200
i get:

$sudo ./serio.py -s update.bin -d /tmp/update.sh -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200
ERROR: No module named 'serial'

@learner981

ERROR: No module named 'serial'

that's not an openwrt issue, but I guess you need pyserial ?

[learner981]

@learner981

module

thank you, i have downloaded pyserial and now serio is working but it is very very slow.

[frollic]

Yes, it is, image transfer time is probably 10-15 mins

Imagine BBSes in the 80ies running at 300bps, you're at 115200.

[learner981]

i have added a pull request:

ath79: add support for TCL HH41V

the content of this file: qca9531_tcl_hh41v.dts is the same as you added just with name of device changed.
i think the mac address of eth0 may be different because the port is not working
how to i get the proper mac adress of that port to adjust that file? and what other changes i have to do? i hope that you can help. thank you.

[frollic]

@learner981

added a pull request:

it's not following the template, nor does it contain any install how to.

[learner981]

i have added the installation methode.
which template?
i have followed this:

ath79: add support for Alcatel HH40V

[frollic]

@learner981

i have added the installation methode.

I thought it didn't work on the 41V ?

[learner981]

i have tested it with 3 modems and it worked, the modem that did not work with it i think the problem is in that modem: there may be something corrupted in its system.

so there are 3 adresses, but in the file: qca9531_alcatel_hh40v.dts there are just 2 MAC adresses? why is this?

&eth0 {
	status = "okay";

	nvmem-cells = <&macaddr_art_0>;
	nvmem-cell-names = "mac-address";

	phy-handle = <&swphy4>;
};

&eth1 {
	compatible = "qca,qca9530-eth", "syscon", "simple-mfd";

	nvmem-cells = <&macaddr_art_6>;
	nvmem-cell-names = "mac-address";
};

&wmac {
	status = "okay";

	nvmem-cells = <&cal_art_1000>;
	nvmem-cell-names = "calibration";
};

[andyboeh]

IIRC, the ath9k (or ath10k?) driver automatically extracts the Mac address from the ART partition, hence there is no need to manually override the Mac address.

[learner981]

thank you.
for the image of hhv40 it worked with me on hh41v with the version 24.10.1 and the modem is worknig with it, but with version 24.10.2 and the snapshot: the rndis modem is not giving the internet connection.

edit: even when i go back to 24.10.1 i does not give the internet to the wifi connected devices nor to the lan port. i made restart the configuration but the same problem. when i ping openwrt.org from the router it has access to internet but not the connected devices. what can cause this problem?

i think the problem may be in the gateway

edit:
the problem is solved by adding the wan interface to the wan firewall zone

[learner981]

the hh40v firmware is working well with hh41v.
and to let the lan2/wan port working and gives ip adress: eth0 should be added to br-lan and wan6 should be deleted.

we can generate a version from the download page with this uc-defaults to run in the first boot:
uci -q batch << 'EOF'
set network.wan.device='usb0'
delete network.wan6
add_list network.br_lan.ports='eth0'
delete wireless.@wifi-device[0].disabled
delete wireless.@wifi-iface[0].disabled
commit network
commit wireless
EOF

[learner981]

this pr adds this device to openwrt:

ath79: add HH41V compatibility to Alcatel HH40V device tree (#23732)

and this pr adds an app that comunicate with the internal modem like the oem original firmware:

luci-app-hh4xmodem: application to monitor and control the MDM9207 modem found in HH40V and HH41V routers. (#8713)
