wifi is down by default you have to access luci to enable it or through ssh login

Hope i receive my board soon (maybe under one week) to test fastest openwrt ever.
There is not many move about ethernet work, bad community support, afraik i have to try myself my tweak testing ^^
In armbian, they said i2c and spi work fine in 4.4kernel so it's very promising for DIY headless openwrt server, cheaper and efficient.
I loved play with nexx mt7620 router but it's old age now we have 1gb ram and 4 core ;)
Community hate allwinner for some good reason, so don't hope help from big brain linux user...alone in dark closed sources

Hi,

my board was in my hand since yesterday and i didn't make the exploit to make it ethernet works. It's an issue with internal PHY not detected.
Now Emac seem to work with stmmac driver (it's detect an mac adresse and showed in ifconfig), leds are always on for the moment.
probe at startup show something wrong and an error 19 (device not present) at the end

Copy code

In positive,
RTC now working
USB audio sound card is OK
USB HOST EHCI and OHCI work fine
USB serial (PL2303) work fine

Next try, usb otg in device mode (ethernet gadget) to bridge a working openwrt router with ethernet and wifi n...
Next next try, rework on this sluut internal ethernet PHY

very hard at my level

Some times back, I try banana-pi version of OpenWrt installed in my OrangePi PC and it works, including the built-in Ethernet.
Maybe, somebody can check banana-pi source to get the driver for ethernet?
My problem with that banana-pi version installed in OrangePi is the watchdog ... it generates a repeated alarms, and I was not able to turn it off.

BTW ... I'm not able to boot my orangePi-PC with this image. I use win32diskImager to write it to my 4G microSD card.
The board is not booted. RED LED is not turn on.

For someone who like to try bananapi version of openwrt running in our OrangePI :

1) download the banana pi openwrt image from their site (Use the Mi+ version). Here is the direct link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/ ... FE/view?usp=sharing
2) Write that image to the disk. I use windows version (win32 disk imager).
3) Copy the ext partition to the file ==> dd if=/dev/sdX2 of=bananapi-mip-openwrt.img

4) Download ubuntu / debian image for OrangePi from loboris : http://www.orangepi.org/orangepi ... wthread&tid=342
5) Write image to the disk.
6) copy bananapi-mip-openwrt.img to the ext partition of that disk ==> dd if=bananapi-mip-openwrt.img of=/dev/sdX2
7) Test it ... everything, including built-in Ethernet should work. BUT there will be a repeated watchdog notification.

Basically, we use uImage from ubuntu image, and use ext part from bananapi-mi-plus openwrt image.
I believe the watchdog alarm is coming from the "wrong" uImage version that I use. So, if I can use the good (or compile) uImage, and combine it with banana-pi-mi-plus openwrt, we will get the working openwrt for orangepi.

I want to try uImage from this thread, but still no luck (not working). Maybe somebody else can try it, and combine it using my method.

Thank you,
