Help with Oolite and OpenWRT #1

Closed charleswhchan closed 9 years ago

charleswhchan commented 10 years ago

Hello,

We have a small batch of Oolite devices for development. Recently, we tried to take one and update the factory firmware to "Barrier Breaker", based on instructions provided from the OpenWRT project (http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/oolite/oolitev1). Using the openwrt-ar71xx-generic-oolite-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin package from https://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_breaker/14.07-rc3/ar71xx/generic/.

However, upon restarting the system, we find that the USB port is not working, it appears the bus is not powered. When we plug in a bluetooth/flash drive/mouse, there is no light from the device. We want to upgrade to "Barrier Breaker" in order to take advantage of the newer bluez libraries.

So a couple of questions:

  1. What is the support status of Oolite with the official OpenWRT binary? Are the patches merged into the official OpenWRT trunk? Or is there an alternate firmware to use instead?
  2. Are there additional steps required to enable the USB port with barrier breaker?
  3. Where is the factory image? How can we restore the device to the original firmware.

Thank you for your assistance. Charles

Hello,

Thank you!!

We are now able to get the USB working by following instructions from http://elinux.org/GPIO

cd /sys/class/gpio
echo 18 > export

cd /sys/class/gpio/gpio18
echo "out" > direction
echo 1 > value

Do you know how to save these settings to enable the settings on startup?

Any chance you can push this change and enabled it by default into the official OpenWRT (barrier breaker, chaos calmer, etc)? That would be wonderful and support a collection of devices used by the community.
