mipsel_24kc support (Onion omega2, others) #132

Closed kallisti5 closed 1 year ago

kallisti5 commented 3 years ago

This actually runs on the onion omega2 by manually extracting the ramips_24kec.ipk and putting the files onto the filesystem manually.

This package doesn't auto install because ramips_24kec is missing as an architecture on the Onion Omega2.

Would it make sense to build for mipsel_24kc as well as ramips_24kec? It's the same toolchain triplet, just different ipk architecture identifiers.

I'd suggest creating an omega2 package that replicates the ramips product.. ramips_24kc is a product identifier not the cpu architecture

kallisti5 commented 3 years ago

openwrt doesn't release "ramips_24kc" packages: https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.1/packages/

tldr; if anyone wants to run gateway-rs on openwrt, they'll need mipsel_24kc

madninja commented 3 years ago

The name of the package is a product name not the cpu architecture or linux distro names.

The gateway-rs release packages are packaged up releases for each product to tie together the cpu architecture, install mechanism updater and other differences for that specific combination of hardware, OS, packager, configuration

kallisti5 commented 3 years ago

sure, my point is:

the filesystem layout of the ramips_24kec package is fine for generic openwrt and works fine.

Just create a mipsel_24kc package and gateway-rs will install without modification on any openwrt-based device (including the Onion Omega2)

My point is that that architecture is required to be stated that way for that specific RAK product it is installed on. The IPK will install on that specific product. The ramips_24kec product did not work with a different architecture specified

If you have a different product like the Omega it gets its own package header with the right architecture there.

Right now we don't have a "generic" OpenWRT package.. since in current experience they're all slightly different. But happy to take PRs if you have them
