Support for Easybox 904 LTE

Thank you, the image works fine. I haven't given it much of a soak test yet, but I could start tinkering with things.

So here's my first result. A shell script replacement for controller.lua, relying only on stock busybox.

#!/bin/sh

display_timeout=30
display_power=/sys/class/backlight/fb_ili9341_eb904/bl_power

set_display() {
	local target=$1
	local current=$(cat $display_power)
	if [ $target == "toggle" ]; then
		[ $current == 1 ] && target=0 || target=1
	fi
	[ $target != $current ] && echo $target > $display_power
}

while :; do
	keypad_result=$(time -f%e sh -c "read -t $display_timeout -n 2 < /dev/input/event0" 2>&1 | awk '/^\d/{print}' | sed 's/\.\d*$//')
	[ $keypad_result != $display_timeout ] && { set_display toggle; sleep 1; } || set_display 0
done

Admittedly, I did this mostly for the challenge and if I could convince standard busybox ash to recognize key presses. Turns out it needs a bit of a hack.

The interesting part is the long keypad_result=... one-liner. While one can read from a device and it recognizes that something was pressed, it does not tell you what has been pressed, presumably because read cannot deal with binary streams. Worse even, unlike bash read, busybox read here always returns the same exit code for a timeout and a keypress. I still wanted to use read because it has a handy timeout parameter (and we don't have timeout). What I ended up doing is measuring the time until read finishes (and get an integer seconds by post-processing with awk and sed). If this time matches the set timeout, one can presume that the timeout has been reached.

The rest is trivial, if read has timed out, turn off the display, otherwise toggle it on or off (and sleep a second not to react on the tail end of the key press immediately.)

I don't know if it's hugely useful as a substitute, the LUA script is also completely fine. But it was a fun exercise in restricted-as-frick shell scripting.

P.S.: I think one could even forego an external helper script if lcd4linux were compiled with the Keypad widget/driver, which it currently appears to be not, with the added benefit that it could distinguish between the single keys and have the display react. That would be especially useful since you don't need all the information and the corresponding load of getting the values all of the time.

Okay, will re-compile today night and leave it running for a test tomorrow. Don't want to fiddle with the internet at this hour, everyone in the house will skin me :sweat_smile:

This website never works for me: I get a "Quota exceeded" message. Any way you could maybe upload such to another website like:

http://ix.io/    :    $foo bar option1 option2 | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io
https://termbin.com/:   $foo bar option1 option2 | nc termbin.com 9999
https://clbin.com:  <command> | curl -F 'clbin=<-' https://clbin.com

Well, that was one long week. I finally got around to testing the build today but to my dismay, I cannot transfer any file/config to the device. Every time I try to scp the firmware into the device, it locks up the console and goes into a reboot. Here are some logs:

The full build log is about 47 MB, so I can only provide that if explicitly requested. I will nuke my build dirs and retry again with the config from @QAuge on the git repo. Will report again.

Ah yes, here is my firmware, for anyone who cares to test.

Hey guys,

I also wanted to check if my EasyBox904 with running LEDE will also work on my Annex J line.

(git-17.165.70928-dd6cb31) / LEDE Reboot SNAPSHOT r4540-3d457764e2

Unfortunately I somehow missed the set a proper IP-Config. I was able to reach the device via IPv6 then I modified /etc/config/network for "DSL" information.

Now the device is unreachable. I tried also to use the same firmware files from BT5Hub. I uploaded it via SCP to /lib/firmware and did the same config like in BT5hub for using the firmware.

Now I am not sure how to proceed to not unbrick the device. I can still remember I invested a lot of time to bring wifi to work. There was something to change in /lib/wifi/ralink.sh in #240.
orignial thread

No I don't know how to proceed and where I should start. - I haven't installed the hacked bootloader yet and I think I directly went from OEM to LEDE via rescue mode and TFTP.

187

Try using a tftp server serving the fullimage.img on 192.168.2.100

188

@cosydog try a firmware without Displaydriver.

Did you use my driver that i have linked ?

189

I have to be honest that I don't know how to "use" your driver :slightly_frowning_face: I have added it to the feeds conf file but the LCD driver gets built anyways. I just commented out the line starting lcd4linux on the corresponding init.d file since I don't need the display anyways. I found out that the DSL firmware I was using was pretty much between unstable and unusable :sweat_smile: so I ditched it and use 5.7.8.9.1.7. It has been running fine the last 24 hrs without one disconnect, so I'm happy there. Only this asterisk/fon isn't working. Will post my images/configs tomorrow and this time to some other host. I discovered that file.io deletes them on the first download :angry:

A question aside: what are the minimal settings on the kernel config to get the router running. @QAuge has quite a bit running on the default config :astonished: I even discovered that I can use wireshark on his image :+1:

190

@cosydog

This will not help the driver should not load try to uncomment in /etc/modules.d or deinstall with opkg, but i fear that is nt possible because blocking of Nand-flash
So you can try to use the image-builder if you have build it.

The short background are that the displaydriver block the NAND-flash
see https://github.com/Plonkbong/openwrt-feeds-easybox904-driver/commit/b872d1f4591c1db6d8efa9ef7553fb5d0e399a51
The result are: reboot on some file operation, for example when the init script try to change the mode of voice-firmware-file.
Or when the dsl_control script try to change from Annex-A Firmware to Annex-B firmware.

It should bee simple possible to disable the driver by build the display driver as module only in menuconfig
or look at post #173 and look at the SDK Part where the Feed will install.
After adding to feeds.conf it this commands should bee used (i think)

./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds uninstall fbtft
./scripts/feeds install -p <the-right-feed> fbtft

If you have the image builder build an image without fbtft for testing.

As i say for testing, Do not load the display-driver, if you have done and it does not working:
be sure tapi and vmmc driver are loaded and be shure asterisk have rights on /dev/vmmcN and the voice firmware
Then stop asterisk and start again on console ("asterisk -vvvvvvv -ddddddd") and post your output of them.

I tried that and nothing happens. Funny thing is, I noticed I have a dial tone, but cannot call or be called by anyone. Please bear with me as the only time I can post my asterisk configs will be later on in the week. Maybe my configs are not correct.

192

Could anyone do a Speedtest with the current build on VDSL Vectoring?

My TP-LINK 9980 can only do 22Mbit which wasn't much of a problem as long as I only had 25Mbit.
But now apparently the future (or rather present) has arrived in my part of Germany and I'm looking for an OpenWRT device I can enjoy it with.

Have a half bricked 904 (non LTE) lying around that I could probably revive if it's worth the effort.

193

Not near my equipment right now, but I can comment on that:

That would indicate that you are on a super-vectoring line (35b), and falling back on a 17b profile. In which case no device using a Lantiq VRX200/XRX200 chipset will do you any better, that chipset simply cannot do super-vectoring. Since that is the only modem chipset currently supported by OpenWrt, you'll probably have to resort to an external modem.

194

Not sure if thats the case, DSL status says
Annex: B
Profile: 17a
Data Rate: 109.926 Mb/s / 39.273 Mb/s
Max. Attainable Data Rate (ATTNDR): 120.707 Mb/s / 41.887 Mb/s

So it synced with ~100Mbit but if I do a simple wget -o /dev/null speedtest on the device itself, 23 Mbit is the maximum I get.

I also tested an Arcadyan / Astoria VGV7510KW22 o2 Box 6431 (xrx200) that can only get 8Mbit!

Any suggestion for a cheap external modem?

195

What are you wgetting?

196

When used as modem+router, with the voice engine enabled (which subsequently disables SMP), you should achieve around 55-60 MBit/s (~80-85 with SMP enabled/ FXS disabled, ~110 MBit/s with SMP and flow-offloading) with either device. That's at least what the hardware can do at VDSL2+vectoring, G.997/ profile 17a, while not being confined to a potential fallback profile.

197

That is indeed strange then. Your W9980 should be able to do ~90 mbit/s before it tops out the CPU. (First hand experience from using a W8980 -- which is virtually identical hardware -- on an 100/40 line.) You wouldn't happen to use SQM or some other form of QoS, would you?

At any rate, the Easybox will not improve anything over the TP-Link Wx9x0, it uses the same chipset.

Yes I had SQM QOS installed but nothing configured for it, uninstalled it, rebooted to be sure, still no change.

I also have Mwan3 (LTE failover) and an Ipv6 tunnel configured but to my understandig that shouldn't influence Ipv4 speed (Mwan3 is in the end just a few iptables rules)?

on my xrx200 device, and it run in 14 seconds, 7.26MB/sec. About what to be expected, as it trained in at 78Mbit.

But according to top it used 43% CPU during the wget (on a dual core system), so not much is needed to bottleneck this. (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null does 49%)

I got 5% usr 15% sys and 25% sirq.

Starting to wonder if speed is somehow simply limited via provider. (Hey let them pay for 50Mbit, we limit no matter what...)
(Terrorkom limited VDSL sync here to either 25 or 50 Mbit, 25 if "line capacity was not good enough" then 6 months ago sync suddenly went back to max line capacity of 37Mbit (as I already had 10 years ago with another provider, YES, that is German "Fortschritt durch Technik") but speed stayed at or below 25Mbit. I always thought that was due to the new (old) WRT router I installed.

But now still the same with 100Mbit sync, that's kind of strange.

I think at this point you should probably open a new thread to discuss your issue. Your problem is unrelated to the Easybox 904 device, keeping it here adds noise to the thread and prevents those who are not watching this thread from seeing your problem.

Hi there :grin:

Its been a while since the last time I was here...

Yesterday I came across my partially bricked and thought I give a new try.

I debricked with recovery partition and was able to install the newest image provided by quallenauge(much thanks for your effort).

I had some problems with configuring the wlan and wan port. If I changed the WiFi options something gets messed up in the config file. The option "encryption" slips under the option "key" so even if you declare "PSK2+AES" it will configured as "WEP". Took a while to figure out but its working now.

My main problem is that the provided image has an "old" kernel so I"m not able to update "kmod" packages and I"m not able to install f.e. python3 which I really need on this device. This always ends with a kernel panik and a reset.

Now I'm trying to compile my own firmware but unfortunately the instructions I lump together quite a while ago don"t seems to work anymore.

If I try to add the patch from "http://arny.tjps.eu/OpenWrt/EasyBox904xDSL/devel/v0.1-EasyBox904xDSL.patch" I receive following error:

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff --git a/target/linux/lantiq/xrx200/profiles/arv.mk b/target/linux/lantiq/xrx200/profiles/arv.mk
|index f68862b..b20155d 100644
|--- a/target/linux/lantiq/xrx200/profiles/arv.mk
|+++ b/target/linux/lantiq/xrx200/profiles/arv.mk
--------------------------

So I"m not able to select Easybox 904 as a device in "menuconfig".
Can somebody give me a hint where I can find current working instructions for compiling a working image? I also would update the wiki entry on TOH for this device.

Thank you guys very much!
