Hi,

yeah the wiki information is from this thread and I though I was the only one here where the compiling with the main trunk doesn't work. Other members here seem to be able to compile without problems...

Now I don't know if I should change the information on the wiki page.

Did you change the u-boot 'bootnum' and 'bootid' variables?

You should enter something like this:

setenv bootid 
setenv bootnum 0
saveenv
reset

Yes, tried that same result. Not booting. I tried every Image I could find

This also happens to me after I reboot openwrt. Then I'm also unable to boot even if I change the env-var's in uboot.

In this case I flash uboot.lq over the bootloader, then I change the enviroment variables and everthing boots fine.

Someone else wrotes here that he has the same error with the self changing bootnum variable. Have a look when the device boots. It reboots and automatically changes bootnum till number 2 is reached and then everything will boot fine. After a reboot bootnum is 3 reached and nothing will boot anymore and manually setting it to 0 or 2 won't help.

Did you backup the original bootloader? If so can you upload it that I can play a little bit with it? I also thought about compiling a new u-boot but in my case I have do a little homework that this will work.

How do I do this? with cat uboot.lq > /dev/ttyUSB0 or how?

Sadly I don't have a backup

No, this only works with UART Mode if I guess right.

In this case you have to provide a tftp server on 192.168.2.100 with the uboot.lg named as 'uImage'

I've done this with another router running openWRT. There you could easily activate a tftp server under dhcp settings.

The flash process of uboot have to be done in uboot/the bootloader itself. You only have to type 'tftp' and the file will load to 0x80800000. After this you can flash with something like 'nand write $(loadimage) $(uboot_addr) $(uboot_size)'

But better check this before doing I dont know if these are the real variables, I'm doing it from the head right now but later I can have look and give you the right ones.

Well after doing this I get:

I always flashed the uImage that I got when compiling OpenWRT.

Wait, openwrt will provide a uboot binary after compiling? I doesn't have seen one after compiling. Where should it located?

I always had used this one:

I use the file called "openwrt-lantiq-xrx200-VGV952CJW33-uImage" inside bin/lantiq

Really it seems that I have some tomatoes on my eyes. Thank you Will have a look at this tonight or tomorrow.

Hello
I would like to create an openwrt image for an easybox904xdsl.
Following procedure executed without error:

*This is mainly taken from the eb904lte forum thread and the description of member stefan-koch.
*
* $git clone git://git.openwrt.org/openwrt.git
* $cd openwrt
* $wget //arny.tjps.eu/OpenWrt/EasyBox904xDSL/devel/v0.1-EasyBox904xDSL.patch
* $patch -p1 < v0.1-EasyBox904xDSL.patch
* $make defconfig
* $make prereq
* $make menuconfig (select Lantiq, xrx200, Easybox 904, Save and Exit)
* $make
*
*
Make ended without error message
But - no rootfs and no kernel file was created in /bin/lantiq
I tried it in different virtual machines.
In the whole filesystem no "squashfs-ubinized.bin" or "uImage" is to be found

Has anyone an idea what I am doing wrong.

Sorry for the Google Translator

Hi. Do you have any file in this folder? Can you list them?
Offtop. With last trank revision I can't apply patch, due to profile refactoring.

I just start clean build. It will take some time. I will write about my results.

BTW. Unfortunately I haven't enough time for development, but, IMO, it will be a good solution to backport this improvements from kernel 4.5+

H-m-m..
This is very strange. You can find build artifacts in openwrt/build_dir/target-mips_34kc+dsp_musl-1.1.14/linux-lantiq_xrx200 folder.

I try'd to compile with Chaos Calmer
git clone -b chaos_calmer git://github.com/openwrt/openwrt.git

Surprise Surprise
It works fine. All files I need have been generatet.

Build with sucess the bin files with latest stable sources of C.C.

Booting and testing with FTDI conected on Rx/Tx.

But the gigabit switch & wifi is not working.

Rtl8367rb an RT3883iNIC drivers is still missing.

We must wait ... :-)

Tks.

I have a Easybox-904xDSL R01, original FW was 3.07.
I get a bootloop after installing the modified Image.
I can Install an other Image via serialconsole and resetbutton.
But all Images that i have try (3.17, 3.12, 3.05, modified) will not work.

Hello, Forum!

I am using a stock EasyBox 904 LTE, which is based on OpenWrt Backfire 10.03.

As one uses all the data volume for the current month (e.g., 10 GB), then the speed drops significantly (e.g., the access is handed over from LTE to UMTS).

Does anybody know how this reduction in speed can be disabled?
I have with telnet access to the device.

Thank you in advance!

--- Custom Firmware Mod ---

Hi there. I to clean up the openwrt setup from the 3.10 firmware. So I go down to the 10.03 backfire openwrt version and include kernel 2.6.32.32 from 3.10 open source firmware. Also the uboot and mdt utils where taken from there. The remaining components comes from openwrt itself (some packages where updated to the current provided ones or own release changes (e.g. openssl was updated to 1.0.0t)).

The following goals where targeted:
- Get a simple switch with linux and 5 usable network ports (4+1 (WAN port is a LAN port now).
  Originally I wanted attach a raspi to it, powered by the USB power port.
- The OS should boot from USB-Stick. Currently the kernel is flashed on the first kernel partition which is booted from UBoot. The partition /dev/sda1 (ext2) is then used as rootfs.
- OpenWRT should include the following packages:
  - dropbear
  - openvpn
  - privoxy

All of the targets where achieved. The Raspi setup works, though my needs where getting low to really use this setup, because the EasyBox seems to fit my needs now.

I want to share some information on a repo, maybe some one has interest to extend this setup, or better include the setup in upstream openwrt (with old kernel of cource, since the switch driver model isn't available as open source).

Can you post a link to the complete bootloop sequence (pastebin or others). In the output, you provided, I can't see an error.

The Problem is, it is exatly one Bootloop

after them came

ROM VER: 1.1.4
CFG 06
NAND
NAND Read OK
..

repeat and repeat to the point where i have to put the password

why have no other people this problem ?

The crazy thing is i can update with the reset button, but without any affect.

Can you please provide a complete log?! Maybe there is some useful information why the image is rebooted / uboot is unable to load the kernel.

Thanks for interresting here the exact steps what i have done:

I download this image:
http://www.vodafone.de/downloadarea/ful … .01.16.zip

preparing for rescue:

mkdir /tmp/ftp ; unzip fullimage_AT904X-03.17.01.16.zip && mv -vf fullimage_AT904X-03.17.01.16.bin /tmp/ftp/fullimage.img ; chmod -R 0777 /tmp/ftp
killall dhcpcd ; ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.100 up
dnsmasq -d -p 0 --enable-tftp=eth0 --tftp-root=/tmp/ftp

starting screen

screen -L /dev/ttyUSB0 115200

power on the Router and press the rescue switch:
here the recue procedue:

then i power on/off the router
