I can’t boot OpenWRT on my R2, I already downloaded images from Google Drive which I found in threads here and also tried self compiled images. But the Banana Pi won’t start OpenWRT/Lede (only red led after boot and not even serial output). If I try to run Ubuntu it works.
which image exactly and how do you burn it?
I tried different “mtk-bpi-r2-SD.img”, from your GDrive, from Badu and also my self compiled. I burned them with “dd” (or “bpi-copy” from the bpi tools)
My img is booting if dd’d to /dev/sdx (not partition). Like with ubuntu you have to press powerbutton 10s.after 8s you should see. Preloader output on debug-uart…
Have you tried another card?
My SD card is at /dev/mmcblk0 and yep I already tried another one. I press the power button like 10 secs until it boot up and show the green light, And then it tooks a few secs and the green goes off and only the red power led is left
What is curious, if I mount the Ubuntu image I see the “BPI-BOOT” and “BPI-ROOT” partitions, but if I try to mount the OpenWrt image it’s not even detected as file system
Openwrt does not contain a normal partition table…so it’s correct that you do not see these partitions
Thank you for your help, got it working somehow by using a 32GB SD instead of a 16GB
Size does not matter,but maybe the old card is not compatible with r2…you can try ubuntu on the old card to check this
Ubuntu on old card works, idk why
But another question, AP mode I tried following http://wiki.banana-pi.org/Getting_Started_with_R2#AP_mode_2
But i just get “Permission denied” if I want to execute ./setup.sh and “not found” if I try to execute the commands manually
You have to download wmt-tools and make setup.sh executable (chmod +x setup.sh)
maybe you can try to flash openwrt (i.e my image) again with dd
I have now all the binaries and firmware from https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MJxfHCpR-ph5YJu-_yMTCH5YG9rL6HHY/ (your tar archive containing the wmt tools) but I still have “not found”

root@LEDE:/usr/bin#mhm, thats strange 
i also wonder about “-ash” instead of “bash”
since there is no strace-command i cannot dig deeper…maybe another one knows more
Is there already an image of your version with WiFi and HDMI?
Should there be a bash?
root@LEDE:/usr/bin# bash
-ash: bash: not foundWifi should work in my debian and ubuntu image…hdmi maybe in ubuntu…
As for lede,i only compiled official one…don’t know how to replace kernel/add files in lede because there is no “normal” partition config
wmt-tools itself are binaries they should not depend on bash…
I thought lede also uses bash as shell…don’t know ash
Here they just add it by copying on the SD card
In ubuntu/debian you have normal partitions (bpi-boot/bpi-root) but in lede you see no partitions on sd (if not booted).
Hmm, so there are currently just ubuntu/deb images with wifi support?
