Issues Identified in OpenWiFi Scripts for Mesh Functionalit #391

Closed Maxelectronics closed 1 week ago

Maxelectronics commented 4 months ago

First of all, I want to congratulate you on your work on this project, which is a valuable contribution to the community.

However, during my investigations, I have encountered some difficulties related to script incompatibility and the absence of the sdk folders and the .xsa file in the kernel_boot/boards directory. These elements seem to be missing, making it challenging to generate all the necessary files for the startup of the SDR platform.

I wanted to bring to your attention that these issues are particularly crucial for those aiming to make OpenWiFi function in a mesh network. These steps are deemed necessary to generate a new kernel, a prerequisite for achieving mesh functionality.

I believe resolving these issues would significantly enhance the user-friendliness of OpenWiFi for the community, especially those looking to deploy it in a mesh network. Would it be possible to receive guidance or additional instructions on how to address these issues? If necessary, I am willing to contribute to resolving these matters, in collaboration with the OpenWiFi community.

Thanks in advance,
