Latest 22.03 Doesn't boot on the R4S 1GB model #36

(as the title suggest)

anaelorlinski commented 1 year ago

Suspecting the UBoot update but unfortunately I have no 1Gb device to test

Let me know if this one is working : https://github.com/anaelorlinski/OpenWrt-NanoPi-R2S-R4S-Builds/releases/tag/OpenWrtAO-22.03-20220819

mikegleasonjr commented 1 year ago

I'll try.

Is there a way I can compile an up to date version with the previous UBoot if it works?

I shouldn't have cheaped out in buying a 1GB model. At the same time,, never ever will I need more than 1GB of memory for my home router...

anaelorlinski commented 1 year ago

If it's linked to uboot it's easy. Just replace openwrt-22.03/patches/package/uboot-rockchip with the one from branch 21.02

mikegleasonjr commented 1 year ago

No dice either for the previous version.

I'll compile my own with UBoot from 21.02 and keep you informed!

Thanks

anaelorlinski commented 1 year ago

That's not good news then because the version I pointed you to is supposed to be using the previous uboot. Let me know if it works with that one : https://github.com/anaelorlinski/OpenWrt-NanoPi-R2S-R4S-Builds/releases/tag/OpenWrtAO-22.03-20220428 It was using the big patchset of immortalwrt, and later I simplified it to get closer to openwrt mainline.

mikegleasonjr commented 1 year ago

So the image I compiled while replacing UBoot from 21.02 worked (it booted).

Why I want to upgrade to 22.03 is that I want to redo my config fresh by hand.

It is said that 22.03 upgraded to firewall4 (whatever that means). If I flash 22.03 now and re-do manually my config, will I be able to upgrade future 22.03 releases only by flashing while "keeping current config" or this release still is using things from 21.02?

First time I am upgrading a major version of OpenWRT, just asking..

anaelorlinski commented 1 year ago

OK definitely linked to uboot upgrade. I will check if I can find what could be the problem, but not easy without the device.

If you configure the firewall using /etc/config/firewall or the UI there should not be major changes from 21.02 to 22.03. If you have custom firewall rules using iptables then it might be more complicated.

I cannot confirm that upgrades keeping config using my builds work properly. My strategy regarding upgrades is different, I maintain a shell script that connects to the R4S over ssh and recreates the config by running many uci commands and uploading files to /etc/

anaelorlinski commented 1 year ago

By chance do you have a serial console attached ? I would like to check logs of the bootloader

mikegleasonjr commented 1 year ago

Hey I will retry tonight with your builds. I think one of my SD cards was acting up.

In the meantime I was able to build my own and smoothly upgrade from 21 to 22 without any issues.

Sorry for the confusions and I'll keep you informed

anaelorlinski commented 1 year ago

Could you try one of the latest builds to know if it boots ?

mikegleasonjr commented 1 year ago

Hey I'll try tonight 🙂

rpp293 commented 1 year ago

@anaelorlinski Hi, I am new to github and coding. However, I can download the build and flash to my SD card for testing. I have the R4S 1GB version.

rpp293 commented 1 year ago

@mikegleasonjr Would you mind sharing your build that you used for your R4S 1GB ?

rpp293 commented 1 year ago

@anaelorlinski I just tried your build OpenWrt 22.03 2022.09.22 on my R4s 1GB and only the pwr light is on. The sys, lan and wan show no activity.

@rpp293 there you go. A mini version with Cake QOS, AdGuard, DDNS and Luci cut from the 22.03 release tag (not the latest)

EDIT: and most importantly for me: pppoe

There was a new commit from friendlywrt. I will check it in a few days if it works on my R4S 1GB https://github.com/friendlyarm/friendlywrt/commit/55a44722b9fc6736cf3046f9b5fac16cfdc42383

* OpenWrt-AO-NanoPiR4S-mini-22.03-20220819-squashfs: boots !

Confirms that the uboot upgrade did broke 1Gb support. I will revert it for now since the added value of the new version is close to nothing, and I will try to grab a cheap 1Gb device to do further testing

Thanks @mikegleasonjr for donation I ordered a 1Gb model

OpenWrt 22.03 2022.09.27 should work properly in 1Gb model

rpp293 commented 1 year ago

@anaelorlinski I plan to test on my spare 64GB SD card later this weekend.

So these are the steps I use to flash the OpenWrt-AO-NanoPiR4S-full-22.03-20220922-ext4.zip file

Use command prompt to reformat the disk partition (SD Card) Diskpart Select Disk 2 (example- select the disk number for the sd card) Clean Create partition primary format fs=ntfs quick or Reformat as exFat - using gui - right click

https://www.balena.io/etcher/ Extract image file and use the above software in link to flash

Are you using a different method to flash?

Please use the latest version available! i released 2022.09.28 since then You don't need to format the card before, just use balena etcher to flash the card and everything should be fine!
