Compile swconfig for r64

frank-w · January 17, 2019, 3:30pm

Hi,

i’m trying to compile swconfig for r64, but i’m stuck

i take source from openwrt (seems the only source for it): https://github.com/openwrt-mirror/openwrt/tree/master/package/network/config/swconfig

and rewrote makefile

there are many type-mismatches and still some missing files…

is it compatible with kernel 4.19 or is it kernel-independed and needs only additional sources e.g. from https://github.com/openwrt-mirror/openwrt/tree/master/package/libs/libnl-tiny/src

tried also to clone openwrt directly and build only swconfig/src

frank@frank-N56VZ:/media/data_ext/openwrt/package/network/config/swconfig
[16:26:47]$ make
Makefile:8: /rules.mk: No such file or directory
Makefile:16: /package.mk: No such file or directory
Makefile:17: /kernel.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target '/kernel.mk'.  Stop.
frank@frank-N56VZ:/media/data_ext/openwrt/package/network/config/swconfig
[16:26:50]$ cd src
frank@frank-N56VZ:/media/data_ext/openwrt/package/network/config/swconfig/src
[16:27:06]$ make

 #include <linux/switch.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
Makefile:9: recipe for target 'swlib.o' failed
make: *** [swlib.o] Error 1

anyone has an idea?

Copy https://github.com/openwrt-mirror/openwrt/blob/master/target/linux/generic/files/include/uapi/linux/switch.h to /usr/include/linux/ on the build machine

frank-w · January 17, 2019, 4:00pm

same as after i copied id to local source:

cc -O2 -g -I ../src -fPIC -c -o swlib.o swlib.c
In file included from swlib.c:26:0:
/usr/include/linux/switch.h:25:10: fatal error: netlink/netlink.h: No such file or directory
 #include <netlink/netlink.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

seems it requires libnl

./package/libs/libnl-tiny/src/include/netlink/netlink.h

i created include-dir in src and copied libnl-tiny/src/include/netlink to it…

frank@frank-N56VZ:/media/data_ext/openwrt/package/network/config/swconfig/src
[16:53:14]$ CFLAGS=-Iinclude make
cc -Iinclude -fPIC -c -o swlib.o swlib.c

                 from /usr/include/linux/switch.h:26,
                 from swlib.c:26:
include/netlink/msg.h:52:16: error: field 'nm_creds' has incomplete type
  struct ucred  nm_creds;
                ^~~~~~~~
include/netlink/msg.h: In function 'nlmsg_set_creds':

  memcpy(&msg->nm_creds, creds, sizeof(*creds));
                                       ^~~~~~

it seems that “struct ucred;” is only forward-declared in msg.h but nowhere declared with fields

tried to build it like this (only with crosscompiler, currently arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc):

github.com

nisenbeck/bananian/blob/master/scripts/build-swconfig.sh

#!/bin/bash
# This script is used to compile 'swconfig' for the BPI-R1 based on the OpenWrt sources.
# Big thanks to mattrix and x4711 from the LeMaker forum who discovered this procedure.

apt-get update
apt-get install -y liblua5.1-0-dev cmake lua5.1 git
git clone https://github.com/Bananian/openwrt.git

cp openwrt/target/linux/generic/files/include/uapi/linux/switch.h /usr/include/linux/switch.h
chmod 644 /usr/include/linux/switch.h

ln -s openwrt/package/network/config/swconfig/src swconfig
ln -s openwrt/package/libs/libnl-tiny libnl-tiny
SRCDIR=`pwd`

cd $SRCDIR/libnl-tiny/src
make
rm libnl-tiny.so
ar rcs libnl-tiny.a nl.o handlers.o msg.o attr.o cache.o cache_mngt.o object.o socket.o error.o genl.o genl_family.o genl_ctrl.o genl_mngt.o unl.o

This file has been truncated. show original

but make in swconfig failes on

make: libsw.a: Command not found

libsw.a exists in swconfig/src

currently hang here:

cli.c:26:10: fatal error: uci.h: No such file or directory
 #include <uci.h>
          ^~~~~~~

i don’t find an uci.h in openwrt-source

moore · January 18, 2019, 9:00am

I’ll suggest …

download openwrt 18.06 stable branch, and build image (it can boot to shell without network support) https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/tree/openwrt-18.06 https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.0/targets/mediatek/mt7622/
refer to below github to add missing network parts and enable swconfig in menuconfig https://github.com/objelf/linux/commits/linux-4.14.y-mediatek

frank-w · January 18, 2019, 3:28pm

Isn’t there a way to compile sw-config outside openwrt? I want to use it in debian…

moore · January 19, 2019, 1:40am

swconfig / uci are openwrt proprietary way to configure device, it needs patch kernel and prepare related library/app as well. I will suggest you use normal way to configure network in debian.

https://github.com/openwrt-mirror/openwrt/blob/master/target/linux/generic/patches-4.4/700-swconfig.patch

frank-w · January 19, 2019, 6:27am

I only know dsa to configure separate ports and switchconfig…as there is no dsa-driver for r64 i tried to get swconfig working

moore · January 19, 2019, 8:50am

there is no need to enable DSA or swconfig tool, just use below code base with ifconfig command to enable ethernet, thanks.

notes: swconfig is advanced feature to help hou set vlan member, pvid…etc easily.

frank-w · January 19, 2019, 8:55am

I have ethernet working, but lan-ports are 1 nic so i cannot configure them separately…currently it works like r2 with kernel 4.4

moore · January 19, 2019, 10:16am

I will suggest you can verify other parts first, and wait until new switch ic with DSA driver to meet your requirement.

frank-w · January 19, 2019, 10:23am

wifi-driver is actually not compilable with gcc >6 so i’m stuck here (tried to compile full r64-bsp-repo on ubuntu 18.4 with all available gcc cross-compilers, on ubuntu 14.4 it works)

Ivan_Revyakin · October 23, 2019, 7:46am

@moore, I built openwrt 18.06 stable branch but “swconfig list” does not see switch. Kernel has driver as I can see switch logs (List 1). Could you say what is a problem?

moore · October 23, 2019, 12:16pm

please use “make menuconfig” and enable CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-swconfig, thanks.

Ivan_Revyakin · October 23, 2019, 12:22pm

@moore, this option exists in my config too. But it doesn’t help…

moore · October 29, 2019, 1:17am

please type “make kernel_menuconfig” to enable CONFIG_SWCONFIG=y, and then recompile your code, thanks.

Ivan_Revyakin · October 29, 2019, 7:51am

@moore, you right. I already managed out it with @frank-w’s help. But I still don’t understand how to work with it. Look at the List 1.

Ports 0-4 are an ethernet interfaces. What are mean 5 and 6? (I guess one of them is a CPU, but what is it other one?)
Why vlans 1 and 2 set like this by default? How these vlans correlate with linux interfaces eth0 and eth1?

List 1:

root@client1:~# swconfig dev switch0 show
<-- cut -->
VLAN 1:
	vid: 1
	ports: 1 2 3 4 6 
VLAN 2:
	vid: 2
	ports: 0 5

frank-w · October 29, 2019, 8:16am

Port 5 and 6 are both cpu-ports (port 6 - for lan-ports eth0,port 5 for wan-port eth1). Here you need 2 vlans to define which cpu-port to use.

You see that vlan2 is used for port 0 (wan) and 5 (eth1 - to soc). vlan 1 used for 1-4 (lan0-lan3) and 6 (eth0 - to soc)

So wan is connected via vlan 2 to eth1 (p5 of switch) and the lan-ports via vlan 1 to eth0 (p6 of switch)

To bad that i had not get managed to compile swconfig for debian so i cannot test it

Ivan_Revyakin · October 29, 2019, 9:08am

Yes you rigth @frank-w. Thank you!

I found vlan set up via swconfig on the ethernet port as untagged works as port-based vlan. Means ports can be separated each other like at List 2. So if vlans are port-based, every portX can be used independently (for example List 2a)

List 2 (Make LAN ports separated each other)

root@client1:~# swconfig dev switch0 vlan 1 set ports ''
root@client1:~# swconfig dev switch0 vlan 11 set vid 11
root@client1:~# swconfig dev switch0 vlan 11 set ports '1 6t'
root@client1:~# swconfig dev switch0 vlan 12 set vid 12
root@client1:~# swconfig dev switch0 vlan 12 set ports '2 6t'
root@client1:~# swconfig dev switch0 vlan 13 set vid 13
root@client1:~# swconfig dev switch0 vlan 13 set ports '3 6t'
root@client1:~# swconfig dev switch0 vlan 14 set vid 14
root@client1:~# swconfig dev switch0 vlan 14 set ports '4 6t'
root@client1:~# swconfig dev switch0 set apply
root@client1:~# swconfig dev switch0 show
