Post subject: | Where to obtain most recent sources ? |
I've been not working with the carambola for quite some time. Returning now, I've noticed that the latest commits for the 8devices git repo happened about a year ago - so I'm asking myself where to obtain the most recent sources: 8dev repo or official OpenWRT [seems like they've added some support for the carambola] ? I'm most interested in having stable drivers for usb audio and such [as, back then, there were quite some issues with the former firmwares]. Does anyone know if there were any patches actually provided [also, back then, there were some bug reports and solving approaches in the 8dev git repo] and if they eventually got included in the OpenWRT sources as well ? Thanks for any feedback on this. |

Update: You should stick to 8dev's sources, as the current openWRT sources would produce a firmware that won't boot. [Using the default config options, it wouldn't ever reach a console and just get stuck in the boot process.] |

Actually it is possible to use the newest Openwrt sources. You have to customize a few things in the kernelconfig, but after that it works quite nicely. SPI, I2C, ethernet , wifi , UART, USB, console all seem to work fine. Only quirk i encountered is that you cant use ethtool or mii-tool, they both fail to recognize the ethernet interface. I can post some instructions if someone likes me to. Update: Just tried ethtool and mii-tool on stock firmware. They do not work also. Seems as if they need to be patched or maybe the ralink ethernet driver is missing something. |

Sorry for the late answer, haven't been keeping track of this thread. Attached my kernel configfile below : you can customize it to your liking ,but everything in [Device Drivers] > [MTD support] must not be changed. If you would like to get access to the full uart device use my attached patch. It is located in "openwrt-directory"/target/linux/ramips/patches-3.10/ It is built for kernel 3.10.24, but it should work with other versions too. You have to change paths accordingly. In order to get SPI,I2C access, "openwrt-directory"/target/linux/ramips/dts/CARAMBOLA.dts and "openwrt-directory"/target/linux/ramips/dts/rt3050.dtsi have to be modified. I attached my cutom files below. In my rt3050.dtsi there is a "at25df321a" flash chip attached to SPI. Edit: You also have to activate uart in your DTS and DTSI files. See in my config files. You could probably just copy and paste them. Hope i could help, have fun
