Topic: kmod-rtc-ds1307 missing from 15.05 & trunk for ar71xx

The content of this topic has been archived on 30 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

This module for working with i2c and installing a <$1 real time clock are not in the 15.05 packages for ar71xx. kmod-rtc-ds1307 is present for kirkwood, and i2c-tools is in BB.

These i2c packages are useful for hardware-modified WR703Ns, domino/ios, and gl.inets, and other ar71xx devices with available gpios.

How can this and other i2c device packages be added to trunk so they will be available in the future?


i2c-tools is also not in CC (though it's back in trunk). It was available in 14.07, and I was able to install it in CC (and have it work--i2cdetect) with the following:

opkg install http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_br … ar71xx.ipk

opkg install http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_br … ar71xx.ipk

I'm currently manually compiling a image because package "kmod-rtc-ds1307" is nowhere to be found in both Lede and OpenWrt packages.

Should this be reported as a bug?

The discussion might have continued from here.
