Banana pi BPI-R3 no CIFS module

frank-w · February 16, 2023, 11:40am

Easiest way should be flashing it, replug card to read partitions (make sure the flash was really finished before). Move all files in BPI-ROOT partition in a subfolder,unpack the ubuntu to the partition and copy back modules from the debian-rootfs.

The chroot into the mount directory to set root-pw…fstab can be copied. Then the card should boot ubuntu

Clone the kernel-repo on your host,make the steps with build.sh (importconfig,config,build,install-last 2 can be done together without param) and change your uenv to the filename you have defined

Thanks. I have some questions.

1- When you say move the files in BPI-ROOT partition to a subfolder, you mean a subfolder on that partition or delete from the sd card?

2- By unpack the ubuntu to the partition, you mean copy the files that were generated by build.sh (BPI-ROOT directory)

3- Copy modules from debian-rootfs. I assume that debian-rootfs is the root filesystem that we backed up on step 1? And which modules?

Thakns and sorry for so many questions

frank-w · February 16, 2023, 2:03pm

create a folder in BPI-ROOT and move all content currently on BPI-ROOT (except this new folder) into it. So that you have a clean ubuntu in root (not overriding any files and have files from debian between ubuntu ones).
ubuntu roofs files is the tar from my gdrive or if you have created your own with debootstrap
modules are in /lib/modules where /lib is a symlink to /usr/lib afair…just copy the modules folder from the debian backup into same location in ubuntu (e.g. cp -r deb-backup/lib/modules /lib)

Last step is only necessary if you want to try ubuntu-rootfs with my kernel…you can also compile your own kernel and install it with build.sh to card…but i prefer to separate the steps replace-rootfs and replace-kernel

Do you really need Ubuntu? Is it not okay to run Debian? It will make it much more easier…

joaolrc · February 16, 2023, 2:59pm

Im ok with Debian. Just need the kernel to have CIFS and FUSE. And of course normal network functionality working

ericwoud · February 16, 2023, 3:04pm

Then you can just use Frank’s image and ‘only’ need to build your own kernel with the options cifs and fuse enabled.

joaolrc · February 16, 2023, 3:11pm

OK. That sounds more simple.

In that case, i assume these are the steps (please correct if im wrong): 1- flash SD card with the debian 11 image from this link (taken from frank post above)

2- Build kernel from this link with CIFS and FUSE enabled https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-Router-Linux/tree/6.1-main

3- Can i use the copy to SD card? or I need to manually mount the SD card with Debian image and replace contents from partitions BPI_ROOT and BPI_BOOT from the ones generated by build.sh when choosing option1 (pack)

frank-w · February 16, 2023, 3:38pm

my debian and ubuntu supporting the build.sh install to sd option. Debian is easier as you do not need to replace rootfs

joaolrc · February 16, 2023, 4:15pm

OK. Finally made it and successfully mounted a CIFS filesystem on your debian 11 with a kernel that i compiled with CIFS enabled. Thanks very much for your responses. I will give feedback as soon as i do more testing.

joaolrc · February 16, 2023, 5:01pm

Another thing. After this, i was trying to use the banana pi ubuntu image and basically do the same thing: compile kernel and replace BPI-ROOT and BPI-BOOT

I am using this repo to compile the kernel :

The problem is taht, once i flash ubuntu BPI image, i cannot mount the BPI-ROOT partition. Got this error: An error occurred while accessing ‘BPI-ROOT’, the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/mmcblk0p6 at /run/media/hfaricardo/BPI-ROOT: cannot mount; probably corrupted filesystem on /dev/mmcblk0p6

Anyone has an opinion on this? Thanks once again.

frank-w · February 16, 2023, 5:06pm

I guess partition table is different…my uboot looks at partition 6 for rootfs,and if you flashed my uboot to the vendor image this can fail.

Btw. there is an updatesrc command in build.sh which updates the dot relase (1 version each call) to really have latest 6.1 version till i have updated my repo

joaolrc · February 17, 2023, 10:18am

Hello Again

I can now mount filesystems via CIFS or FUSE but i am not understanding how to control wifi interfaces on your Debian image. There are no wlan0,1,2… interfaces available when i issue command ip a. Only see the wired ones. Was this a problem caused by my build or is there any catch? Thanks

frank-w · February 17, 2023, 11:57am

Have you loaded mt7915e module? Maybe i have not added firmware files in this basic image

Firmware-files are in my sysconfig folder

https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1WLWAR1FC-rF4n2SgFecBlU1ym_XKqAR_/15Y5Y3NAOwg_IMmN3k6hdb7pAQj9oTVTl/1fxDR-uL3DIO-8ebgqOJd5MoWORQTTm7Z/1kST9ZOv8xQWFfo9GUNIIpKjD8QuYMj8i?sort=13&direction=a

Or get it from linux-firmware git

Have to be placed into /lib/firmware/mediatek

joaolrc · February 17, 2023, 1:28pm

So i my have extrapolated things a bit. PLease chack if was correct. I downloaded your files and placed:

contents of mt7986_wifi_firmware.tar.gz in /lib/firmware/mediatek
contents of bpi-r3-networkd/etc/systemd/network in /etc/systemd/network
contents of bpi-r3-service/etc in /etc (merged directories and replaced files when necessary)
contents of bpi-r3-service/lib in /lib and merged directories

After this procedure, i see 2 more interfaces but im unsure what they are:

These are vlan-interfaces that you maybe not need (created by networkd files) and can be ignored by now (it is my config i shared as example).

If you still not see wlan0/wlan1 try loading mt7915e module and look what it says and if wlanX is shown after it. 5g needs rfkill and wireless-crdb packages installed

https://wiki.fw-web.de/doku.php?id=en:bpi-r3:wlan

If you have wlan interfaces you can look for hostapd

systemctl status hostapd

for 2g and for 5g

systemctl status hostapd2

When i try to load such module, it says it does not exist: root@bpi-r3:/etc/resolvconf/update.d# modprobe mt7915e modprobe: FATAL: Module mt7915e not found in directory /lib/modules/6.1.0-bpi-r3

Also looking ad build.sh config and there is this option: Do i need to recompile the kernel with these enabled?

I thought that hardware drivers/modules were already included when issuing build.sh importconfig

It should be enabled via defconfig…

And you can try using find for listing module

find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -iname '*.ko'

After messing things up, i reflashed Debian 11 image built with my kernel (CIFS+FUSE) and issued that command. happens that directory name is different:

As we already knew, mt7915e is not listed…

I assume e need to rebuild kernel with such module… is that correct? Or its just copying firmware files from your sysconfig gdrive?

frank-w · February 17, 2023, 4:29pm

i see mt7915e.ko listed in your screenshot (middle of 3 longest lines), but i’m unsure if you searched in the right folder…pls use the command i posted with $(uname -r)

uname -a shows more information e.g. the compile date which should be today for your kernel and older for mine

added cifs to my 6.1-main and updated kernelsource to last version of 6.1 (.12) (and the other lts-branches, but unrelated for r3)
