For patch semaphore problem try softdep described here: [BPI-R64] mt7622 mac80211 WiFi driver
Thanks, but Im using OpenWRT and there is no rfkill here. Also it is a 7622 driver build into 7615. Regular OpenWRT squashfs was not working so I mount ext4 rootfs. First I thought that it is a problem with filesystem but modules themselves are loaded. Is Firmware loading need some specials like partition name or others unusual bits rather than just regular path to firmware files? I do have them in /lib/firmware/ and also /lib/firmware/mediatek just in case.
but you use mt7615/22 as module, right? imho rootfs is probed for some paths like /lib/firmware for a file in folder mediatek
Yes Im using mt7615e.ko. Like I mention there is /lib/firmware/mediatek folder and can be accessed. I try to unload and load mt7615e but that did not help. I guess I need to trace module that race with mt7615e like you mention with rfkill.
@frank-w I read your wiki about R2 storage and emmc and also halh of this forum and I remember that I sow somewhere that you mention about writing fstab on Openwrt mounts should looks like:
mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on /rom type squashfs (ro,relatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noatime)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime)
but I do have:
mount
/dev/root on / type ext4 (rw,noatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime)
cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpuset,cpu,cpuacct,blkio,memory,devices,freezer,net_cls,pids)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime)
so clearly first line with rootfs is missing.Got that working finally. The issue with mt7615e module was that bluetooth module block firmware loading.It was build into kernel and loaded before rootfs so no chance to get firmware file. Making bluetooth as a module instead build into kernel solved the problem So now I do have fully working OpenWRT from eMMC.
By the way. Problems with mt7622 WiFi TX power stuck at 6 dbm are because of missing wifi EEPROM. If it is provided TX power work correct.

How do you build image for emmc? which uboot,which kernelβ¦
we experienced issues acessing emmc on bpi-r64 where uboot and kernel have emmc enabledβ¦
Kerenel (5.4.38), device tree and ext4 rootfs are build with OpenWRT, ext4 are not default image so need to be turned on in menuconfig. Standard squashFs was not working.
u-boot is yours
U-Boot 2014.04-rc1-00040-gc49719fe04-dirty (Oct 17 2019 - 17:51:44)
u-boot-mtk_r64_emmc_mt7531_gcc8.3.bin
Can you write step by step, how you build OpenWrt on 5.4.38 kernel?
Yes, but I need to get that all together
How did you manage to modularize Bluetooth?
I canβt disable Kernel modules > Other modules > kmod-bluetooth. Itβs always checked with -*-.
You have to do it in kernel
make kernel_menuconfig
then
Networking support > Bluetooth subsystem support > Bluetooth device drivers
select βMβ in MediaTek HCI UART driver
As far as I remember .ko module was generated but not included in rootfs lib/modules and you have to manually copy there.
Thank you.
Could you please be more verbose about building OpenWRT?

I flash openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-bpi_bananapi-r64-initramfs-kernel.bin with 2. System Load Linux Kernel then write to Flash via TFTP.
Then I get OpenWRT started but I stumble upon Failed to get patch semaphore error:

And df shows no filesystem:

Could you please point out what Iβm missing?
You need squashfs options. It will create openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-bpi_bananapi-r64-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin image witch you need flash.
Openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-bpi_bananapi-r64-initramfs-kernel.bin image use only for preview OpenWrt, not for working.
Hi. I have also built OpenWRT from the HEAD of master and kernel version 4.19.115.
I get the same Failed to get patch semaphore message from mt7615e. In addition I am getting

repeated three times. Here is the console output:

Againβ¦it seems there are issues with linux-mmc driver for r64 emmc. It looks like this is caused by second initialization (first in uboot,second in linux) without reset between. Anybody disabled emmc in uboot and can access emmc-partitions in linux (sdboot)
How to disable emmc in uboot?
You can disable it (afair mmc0) in dts and recompile+reflash
