Bananapi BPI-R3: Update OpenWrt to 22.03.3 SNAPSHOT

mikew · February 26, 2023, 10:49am

Something is not quite right with the latest snapshot respectively when installing packages. I installed the latest OpenWrt Snapshot into NOR via " 7. Install bootloader, recovery and production to NOR." from:

https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/mediatek/filogic/

Then I proceeded installing some basic packages for luci interface and USB Support:

opkg update && opkg install luci luci-ssl block-mount e2fsprogs kmod-fs-ext4 kmod-usb-storage kmod-usb2 kmod-usb3

However, after reboot I just get:

Any idea?

frank-w · February 26, 2023, 11:41am

Seems this install function does not install the right bl2 to nor

Have you booted the nor before installing the additional packages?

mikew · February 26, 2023, 12:31pm

Yes, I booted NOR before installation. I have now, since I familiarized more with the issue around not saved settings and the “overlay” system more (this article helped), started to:

Install on SD
Expand the SD card file system
Boot from SD
Install packages
Restore to NOR

Quite a steep learning curve as I formerly just flashed the OpenWRT firmware via GUI. Despite not being a shell rookie, there are still quite some interesting things to catch up to.

Update That is quite frustrating. Burning the image on the SD card creates many partitions which seems nowhere to be explained. The errors thrown cause more confusion.

I then used this approach to expand the partition named “production” as anything else would cause an overlap but that threw another error.

parted -s /dev/mmcblk0p7 resizepart 2 100%
Error: /dev/mmcblk0p7: unrecognised disk label

Why can’t this as normal as setting up like any other OS via terminal when partitions are created? Suing a USB drive as extroot make this. I start to believe I need a totally different approach burning the image. I currently use balanaEtcher …

Anyone got any thoughts on this?

frank-w · February 26, 2023, 4:22pm

Your parted command shows a partition name

bl2 is second stage bootloader after bootrom, ubootenv is for storing environment of uboot,factory is openwrt specific,fip is uboot itself (with bl3x atf),recovery is openwrt specific, install same and production is working system

mikew · February 26, 2023, 6:40pm

I used the official OpenWRT tutorial that uses the dev-path. Another one for SD cards, the section about ext4 image, doesn’t work or is incomplete but the actual command points to x86. Not to speak about the grub file i cannot locate in case of UUID changes.

frank-w · February 26, 2023, 6:42pm

Embedded systems (arm,arm64) normally use uboot instead of grub

For resizing rootfs daniel wrote some tutorials i have linked in my wiki

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

mikew · February 28, 2023, 3:43pm

Thanks @frank-w. What bugs and likely hinders me to succeed is that the partitions on the SD cart seems to have no properly file system and the many partitions are nowhere explained. Though, @VA1DER posted about this:

I get:

resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p5 
resize2fs 1.47.0 (5-Feb-2023)
resize2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/mmcblk0p5
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.

Is my approach using balanaEtcher maybe less desirable?

mikew · March 2, 2023, 12:37pm

I am going in circles. despite successfully expanding the SD Cards overlay partition:

It seems to take no effect when booting from SD Card (all jumpers up).

What could I possibly miss?

dangowrt · March 3, 2023, 1:53pm

The easiest way is to zero-out the existing filesystem in /dev/mmcblk0p66, ie.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0p66 bs=512 count=1024

Then power cycle, the filesystem will be re-created on the next boot in the full size. You could also use resize.f2fs from f2fsck package, but that’s just complicating things imho, unless you already got a lot of data there and don’t want to do a backup.

In that case, you’d have to use it on /dev/mmcblk0p66 as that’s the virtual volume which holds the F2FS filesystem.

mikew · March 3, 2023, 2:18pm

That is a very interesting trick. Thanks for sharing! I will test it on Sunday afternoon when back from my trip.

mikew · March 6, 2023, 4:48pm

Update Albeit an ingenious idea exploiting recovery mechanisms, it seems to not work. I booted into SD Recovery system, checked the the space allocation via lsblk, executed and did a power cycle into SD recovery once more. The partition “mmcblk0p66” is still only 93.9M.

What confused me by using cfdisk was the different partition labels and sizes. I now just said to me f**k it and proceeded by cfdisk /dev/mmcblk0, chose “/dev/mmcblk0p7” and resized to the full remaining capacity. Then checked like lsblk again and “mmcblk0p66” grew to 238.2G.

Booting from the SD and checking the space finally yield the expected results.

root@OpenWrt:/# df -h

Now I am trying to resolve issues around packages, even simple ones like iptables, which cannot be installed. I really fall over every single stone on my path …

The difference are too many for me to distinguish what to adjust. Anyone got some recommendations?

Is it okay? Is the swipe in method using the following command? *mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt

echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro
dd if=openwrt-mediatek-filogic-bananapi_bpi-r3-emmc-preloader.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0
mmc bootpart enable 1 1 /dev/mmcblk0

This means the snapshot you are using is already outdated again. Update to the most recent snapshot should resolve all these errors. To make this easy, you can install and use auc.

All the packages which show this error are not part of official OpenWrt. Feel free to grab their sourcecode and make a pull-request adding them to github.com/openwrt/packages.

Many of them seem to be part of MediaTek’s SDK and are not actually needed on OpenWrt. e.g. kmod-conninfra is the wifi driver of MediaTek SDK, when using OpenWrt (or any distribution around vanilla Linux kernel) the same functionality is provided by kmod-mt7915e for this chip.

If you use official OpenWrt this is done for you automatically. You don’t need any of this.

How to put the official have to enter emmc

dnsmasq-full seems to have been superseded by dnsmasq and firewall by firewall4. Other packages like luci-app-mtk are nowhere to be found. I assume some repos are missing, aren’t they?

I also tried familiarizing with CONTRIBUTING.md but admittedly this goes ways beyond what I currently can do since I never worked with git to such an extend.

Best Mike

All those packages have simply never been part of OpenWrt, but were just present in MediaTek’s SDK which is based on OpenWrt, but heavily modified and with an outdated kernel. The is similar to e.g. Raspbian which contains vendor-specific packages which are not available in (upstream) Debian.

You can use the SD card image and then either navigate the bootmenu via the serial console or use the methods described here: Banana Pi BPI-R3 OpenWRT image

mikew · March 8, 2023, 12:39pm

So I guess there is nothing, except going into extreme length, to get the current OpenWRT version working. I’ve searched all over the place to get an idea but only find obstacle after obstacle which let me assume or better hope, with OpenWRT v23 things will improve.

Wonder what your take on this is? I am not a fan et all running outdated software …

dangowrt · March 8, 2023, 12:42pm

SinoVoip has provided this board to me in June 2022, this was long after the branch-off of OpenWrt 22.03. Hence it will only be supported in the next release (OpenWrt 23.xx), which is about to branch-off in the next weeks, but certainly still some months away from being actually released. Up to that point the best is certainly to run OpenWrt snapshots and keep them up-to-date using auc.
