[BPI-R64] loading OpenWRT built files into the board

Yep, it moved, it’s now located in

Symbol: MTD_CMDLINE_PARTS [=n]
Type : tristate
Prompt: Command line partition table parsing
Location: -> Device Drivers
-> Memory Technology Device (MTD) support (MTD [=y])
(1) -> Partition parsers

do you have it still in your config? strange that it does not apply

Yep, I had to re-enable it on my kernel 5.4 config, building now…

Here is a call log where kernel hangs, maybe it will help trace the problem:

I did more tests. I put into emmc 5.4 image and then load initramfs with 4.19 intro RAM. With that I was able to

mount /dev/mtdblock6 /root2

But when I flash emmc with squashfs 4.19 and start intramfs from 5.4 build the same command hangs the same way as above.

That means that the issue is with kernel difference only not the image or process of openwrt image build.

OK, let me summarize information from this thread.

How to build OpenWRT for BPI-R64 and boot it from eMMC

Fetch latest OpenWRT sources:

git clone https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git
cd openwrt
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a

Change kernel version in target/linux/mediatek/Makefile to 4.19 since eMMC is broken in 5.4:

KERNEL_PATCHVER:=4.19
KERNEL_TESTING_PATCHVER:=4.19

Add following lines to target/linux/mediatek/mt7622/config-4.19:

CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK=y
CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK2MTD=y
CONFIG_MTD_CMDLINE_PARTS=y

Copy 1000-add-factory-eeprom-and-emmc-mtd.patch (1.1 КБ) to target/linux/mediatek/patches-4.19 This patch:

  • Adds virtual MTD device (block2mtd) using cmdline which makes eMMC acting like MTD flashes, so OpenWRT can work correctly with eMMC
  • Specifies MTD partitions for block2mtd using cmdline (mtd0: mbr, mtd1: u-boot, mtd2: u-boot env, mtd3: calibration data, mtd4: openwrt firmware (up to 7GiB)
  • Enables wmac (internal WiFi) and tells driver to use mtd3 partition (mmcblk0p4 actually) as source for calibration data (make sure that it’s flashed there)

It’s assumed, that your /dev/mmcblk0p5 has size of 7G (7168 MiB) and it whole used as r/w rootfs (which maybe not a good idea). You can modify bootargs in patch “…7168M(firmware)”) for smaller rootfs size.

Configure OpenWRT

make menuconfig

At least, set following options:

Target System ---> MediaTek Ralink ARM
Subtarget ---> MT7622
Target Profile ---> Bpi Banana Pi R64

Build

make -j4

Result file: bin/targets/mediatek/mt7622/openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-bpi_bananapi-r64-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin, flash it using u-boot:

    2. System Load Linux Kernel then write to Flash via TFTP

Done.

Some time after boot OpenWRT will initialize root partition with JFFS2 filesystem:

root@OpenWrt:/# df -h
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root                 3.3M      3.3M         0 100% /rom
tmpfs                   499.2M    652.0K    498.6M   0% /tmp
tmpfs                   499.2M     52.0K    499.1M   0% /tmp/root
tmpfs                   512.0K         0    512.0K   0% /dev
/dev/mtdblock7            3.3G      9.0M      3.3G   0% /overlay
overlayfs:/overlay        3.3G      9.0M      3.3G   0% /

Dunno, why there is only 3.3G of 7G, maybe some limits of JFFS2 or OpenWRT

Maybe that will helps somebody.

Hi. I have followed this thread and in particular the useful summary posted by @Kosyak I have one question:

Do I need to do anything specific to “make sure that calibration data is flashed in mtd3 partition”?

I managed to compile and get running OpenWRT with 5.4 kernel following @kosyak’s instructions. As @DanielRiot mentioned MTD_CMDLINE_PARTS was moved in kernel 5.4.

However I’m struggling to solve these issues:

  1. How to get an RW filesystem and make changes to survive reboot. My df output is as follows, no eMMC storage is mounted:
root@OpenWrt:/# df -h
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs                   497.8M     68.0K    497.7M   0% /tmp
tmpfs                   512.0K         0    512.0K   0% /dev
  1. How to get 5GHz WiFi module MT7615 working. I compiled the kernel with kmod-mt7615e module. However (a) kernel boot log ends with this output.
[   31.769783] mt7615e 0000:01:00.0: Message -4294967280 (seq 1) timeout

Could you try mounting emmc manually? We experiencing issues with bpi-r64 emmc (if uboot also supports emmc)

If I’m doing this right, I can’t.

It appears that I flashed openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-bpi_bananapi-r64-initramfs-kernel.bin instead of openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-bpi_bananapi-r64-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin.

But now after flashing squashfs-sysupgrade image I get a kernel panic on boot:

How should I create rootfs after firmware?

try and change your uBoot variables ( if your Kernel/ rootfs is too big, not everything is written ) allow a larger kernel/rootfs image : ie, run this in your uboor console and then ‘saveenv’

setenv boot_wr_img 'filesize_check 0x20000000;if test ${filesize_result} = good; then image_blks 512 ${filesize};mmc device 0;mmc write ${loadaddr} 0x1000 ${filesize};fi'

The default setting is only 25MB i think( 0x1900000 ) boot_wr_img=filesize_check .... mmc write ${loadaddr} 0x1000 0x1900000 ;fi'

Hello guys. I’m back at trying to boot from SD card but am presumably stuck at rootfs mount.

  1. I’ve compiled latest OpenWRT master branch with 5.4 kernel.
  2. Enabled MTD_BLOCK2MTD, MMC_BLOCK and MTD_CMDLINE_PARTS.
  3. Applied patches to include &wmac node and to support MTD partitions. Basically I copied the chosen node from LEDE’s mt7622-bananapi-bpi-r64-sd.dts
  4. I took preloader, ATF, U-Boot from BPI’s repository. Created SD card with partition layout as described in BPI’s LEDE image.

Still I’m stuck at this. No further loading, no login prompt. Any help?

Openwrt has problems with kernel 5.4 on mounting mtd rootfs…there is no solution yet

That output means that I don’t get rootfs mounted?

In any thread the problem was found without clear error-message…you can try to copy data from rootfs to another media (without mtd,e.g. simple ext4 partition) and change cmdline (root=/dev/xxx) pointing to it

hello,i want to know something about kernel 5.4 mounting mtd rootfs,now have solutions?

Maybe it is already fixed…@dangowrt builds images imho using mtd too

I use the same method which use in kernel 4.19 ,through mtdparts command ,but it not work.

the kernel 4.19: setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200n1 rootfstype=squashfs earlyprintk block2mtd.block2mtd=/dev/mmcblk0,131072,eMMC,5 mtdparts=eMMC:768k(mbr)ro,512k(uboot),512k(Config),256k(Factory),128M(Kernel),8G(usrdata)

I found that kernel 5.4 just 2 arguments in block2mtd command,so I modify the bootargs: setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200n1 rootfstype=squashfs earlyprintk block2mtd.block2mtd=/dev/mmcblk0,131072 mtdparts=block2mtd:768k(mbr)ro,512k(uboot),512k(Config),256k(Factory),128M(Kernel),8G(usrdata)

but it is not work ,the log is:

This is because MTD devices have 32-bit addresses, and by using block2mtd you are hence limiting the addressable range on the eMMC to 4 GiB.
