[BPi-R3-Mini] Review and mainline ImmortalWrt firmware support

[frank-w]

If you have parted you can use

parted /dev/mmcblk0p5

And it should do the rest…but you have to boot from another device so that mmc rootfs is not mounted

[Muhamad_A_Akbar]

Can you teach me how to compile and install the compiled results? Is the method the same as above?

@frank-w

If you have parted you can use

thanks, I have tried it, and failed, do you have complete documentation? I’m afraid I’ve missed a steps

[frank-w]

No because i do not use openwrt/immortalwrt so i not affected by this issue

But there are some threads here about rootfs partition resizing in openwrt

[nezar_taima]

if resizing /dev/mmcblk0p5 does not work, you can follow below steps to extroot: initially, boot from emmc then install the following packages: block-mount e2fsprogs parted

1- create a partition (the start of partition begins in the end of your production partition plus 1MB)

2- format the partition and configuring extroot

3- mount the partition and transfer data

4- reboot

5- result

[Muhamad_A_Akbar]

Thank you for your very clear instructions, I’ve tried it, but it doesn’t seem the same result

[nezar_taima]

Try parted /dev/mmcblk0

[Muhamad_A_Akbar]

@nezar_taima

parted /dev/mmcblk0

I’m sure I haven’t missed any steps, but why is it still not working correctly? Are you using a different firmware than immortalwrt? If yes, can you tell me the installation procedure

hi, after installing ImmortalWRT bpi r3 stopped booting from both nand and emmc, after connecting to uart I get these messages. Is it possible to install openwrt or repair immortal via uart ?
