Hello, thank you for Jalapeno board. I am working with it and have found the repository at https://github.com/8devices/lede-8dev. I cloned, selected ipq806x target and jalapeno platform. I build and then copy my image to the device, when I run sysupgrade I get the following:

root@LEDE:/tmp# sysupgrade lede-ipq806x-Jalapeno-squashfs-nand-sysupgrade.tar
Device jalapeno not supported by this image
Supported devices: Jalapeno
Image check 'fwtool_check_image' failed.

It appears there is a problem with upper case J and lower case j somewhere in the config/make files. I don't know enough to fix this. I tried issuing "-F" to force the upgrade, but now my device is stuck resetting in u-boot so I will need to recover inside u-boot and get a image restored on the device.

I appreciate any help.
Regards

I forgot to give background on what I am doing. I think I need to install kmod-usb-acm to use a Telit cellular modem in ppp mode with Jalapeno. Jalapeno ships with a snapshot LEDE install so when I run

opkg update
opkg install kmod-usb-acm

I get failure because the package is not compatible with the snapshot linux kernel. This is why I need to upgrade the LEDE image. Now when I build LEDE I select to include this package in menuconfig.

Also, I made a mistake and did not copy the factory image on Jalapeno before trying the upgrade. This is OK because I have another Jalapeno on order. I will copy the factory image before continuing so I can recover in u-boot using tftp. That is theory, yet to be a success.

Looks like this issue was fixed in the "spi_drivers" branch, I will give this a try. See the fix in this link:

Thank you for the direction.

Do you know if there are instructions for tftp for jalapeno like this http://www.8devices.com/wiki/carambola: ... h-advanced

I purchased Jalapeno from here:

https://lian-mueller.com/cart/qualcomm- ... board.html

I'm stuck right now trying to find the correct base address in nand to do TFTP recovery.

I am not a linux expert so don't follow my directions here unless someone else blesses them as good. I got my device restored using tftp in u-boot and I am now building images from the "spi-drivers" branch of github.com/8devices/lede-8dev and continuing my work with cellular modem and BATMAN mesh. The lede-ipq806x-Jalapeno-squashfs-nand-factory.ubi is a file that I built as just described. I still can't get my ACM cellular modem to show up in the tty devices, so more research.....

If you are not a linux expert then it is better to use some device that is longer in the field and much more people are using it.

If you are interested I can offer few devices that I have that are know to have excellent support and work without issues, and I'm always interested in playing around with latest gadgets, even that I know it will cost me weeks of my time and probably I'll just leave it for something more stable in the end

Yeah, what you say makes sense. I like to play around with the new hardware, maybe it will work for me or not. If not I will wait for development to catch up. In the meantime it will help me learn more about modifying my own drivers in linux and many other aspects of linux. I noticed that the drivers are not supporting IBSS for adhoc on this chipset. But the Candelatech drivers do so I will use those sources to get started.
