[BPI-R3] Boot stuck on "IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): br-wan: link becomes ready"

Have you tried this?

If yes which kind of uart adapter have you used? There was a report of device does not recognize any input with ch340 adapter.

I use USB-UART (RS232 TTL) CH340G

Yes, then I saw OpenWRT welcome screen, but that’s all. Unless that’s all and nothing else should be installed, but I have expected to see OpenWRT printed in my debugger console?

I have changed OpenWRT version to 23.05.3, as someone told me version 23.05.5 doesn’t work on bpi-r3

If I disconnect and connect the WAN port in my bpi-r3 I can see such output in the console

[   41.594591] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): br-wan: link becomes ready
[   64.701738] mt7530-mdio mdio-bus:1f wan: Link is Down

[   67.741115] br-wan: port 2(wan) entered forwarding state

yes TX is connected to RX and RX is connected to TX

yes it is set to 3.3V

Try it with a ft232rl module set at 3.3volt.

? In general, it runs on R3!

Who told you that :upside_down_face:? And what exactly should not work :thinking:?

okay, found it …

I used sysupgrade …

Do you have any idea how I can fix this Boot stuck on “IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): br-wan: link becomes ready” issue ?

Yes, that was the reason I changed, but it appears to be the same issue on both of these open-wrt versions. So I guess there is sth wrong with my bpii-r3 router or the way how i am writing an image on sd card or my boot process. I have no idea what can be wrong. This is my 1st OpenWRT router :confused:

But how will this help? Isn’t it only to print output to my console and pass some commands? Everything seems to work. I can see outputs and I can pass commands like ls/ifconfig…

I just fly over the chat :see_no_evil:.

I also see your other chat … rebooting, rebooting:

→ The basic things are, that you have a working power supply!

→ That you have a working USB to UART Adapter!

→ I read very very often, that people had problems with your SD card … some people have reported that they have to delate the SD card befor writing the image on it. Others have bought a new card.

You said that you have buyed a new BPI-R3? I do NOT belief, that the R3 you own is permanently damaged by you :slightly_smiling_face: :+1:.

On the “SPI NOR” 0 0 0 0 → there should be the Openwrt image of banana pi. Can you boot it successfully?

PS: I’m not good in reading logs. A guy with experience in it could may point you more exactly on the right path! But do not give up!!!

I have a new one, I bought 2 sd cards. If I boot from NOR, everything works, but I wanted to boot from eMMC.

You say I have destroyed my R3, and it is not going to work anymore? (Or I have misunderstood you). The only thing I was doing was repeating the same steps I have described in another topic I have opened.

I have only one BPI-R3, I bought a new SD Card as I thought after booting so many times I have destroyed my sd card and wanted to have a fresh one to be certain it works)

:scream:

NO! I think your R3 is okay :love_you_gesture:

So, you get error messages by booting from SD card?

With what tools do you write the image on SD card?

First I move to NANAD and then check boot from SD CARD, but it stuck on this ipV6 br-wan → Then I change jumpers to boot from NAND and moving image to eMMC → Then I change jumper to boot from eMMC and run default boot command , but it stuck on this ipV6 br-wan

First I use this

gzip -d openwrt-23.05.5-mediatek-filogic-bananapi_bpi-r3-sdcard.img.gz

Then I write an image to sd card

sudo dd if=openwrt-23.05.5-mediatek-filogic-bananapi_bpi-r3-sdcard.img of=/dev/sdb

And then my sd card looks like that

okay, i think you useed that information:

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/installation_methods/sd_card

And did the boot from SD Card work?

yes exactly, I have used this tutorial. No, I also can not boot from sd-card itself, so I guess sth is wrong with my sd-card image I am writing to it. As ever time after I write an image to this sd card and check with fdisk I see this:

The backup GPT table is not on the end of the device.

but I was riding that it is normal, and I should not be worried about this

Did you ever use the Balena Etcher?:

I have a Windows PC :see_no_evil: and ever useed Balena Etcher! I had never problems with SD card booting …

Yes I have also used this, but this gives the same issue (problem with GPT Table and stuck on this “IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): br-wan: link becomes ready”)

:thinking:

Are the SD cards have the same brand and from the same seller?

And there is nothing else conncted to the R3?

SD cards are the same brand: Qlive 32GB 80MB/S read 20MB/S write

What is connected to my R3:

  1. Power supply
  2. RJ45 to WAN port
  3. USB-UART (RS232 TTL) CH340G via USB to my laptop

Without spending money, I would disconnect RJ-45 and USB-UART (maybe that’s nonsense).

Boot from SD crad and look what happend? Normal boot? After that, connect USB-UART and try to see openwrt logo?

If that not helps:

→ “professional” delate SD card download Openwrt image again and write it on SD card … and so on …
