+1 was trying to keep up,but most time take me just setting up repo and applying patches.
Great! Looking good! Now you can create a branch from tag 4.14 online with github, call it as you like. Then git clone the repository to your development machine and change the branch with git checkout. Overwrite and git add the files with updated code (try to be conservative with changes as possible, to keep things readable, you can check with git diff --cached). When you finished git commit the code to your local ‘clone’ and then git push the code back to github. You should be able to view the result online.
You could use tools like SourceTree or TortoiseGit to support you in getting familiar with git. Another way is do the interactive tutorial at https://try.github.io/. It probably takes a few times back to google, but it will pay off eventually.
renamed repository:
- main-branch is to get working kernel
- wifi_mt6625l-branch is for testing the internal wifi-driver (currently does not compile complete)
edit: updated wifi-branch (fixed dts, config and add logging to build.sh…)
anyone tried to build? you have not make it compile complete…step by step
IMHO first we must separate wifi from BT in the common-dir (common/conn_soc/linux/pri) to get first wifi running without BT
I just successfully built the main branch (as a test), but didn’t try to run it yet. To be honest the build.sh isn’t really convenient for me because I have different paths, compiler settings, make flags and git usage. But it can be useful as a reference.
Later I will switch to the wifi branch and check out how I can contribute.
build.sh is only a start to get a working kernel 
of course you can use your own script/environment…i want to make a small script to do the common tasks in building
tried to set function-calls to btif-functions in
#ifdef CONFIG_MTK_BTIF
...
#endif
to get rid of the depencies, till i come to drivers/misc/mediatek/connectivity/common/conn_soc/core/wmt_ctrl.c
/*do not need contol uart because B/G/F send/receive data by BTIF*/
B/G/F are the wifi-bands, right? seems that BTIF does not stand for BlueToothInterFace…whats the meaning?
https://lwn.net/Articles/729641/
MediaTek BTIF controller is the serial interface similar to UART but it works only as the digital device which is mainly used to communicate with the connectivity module also called CONNSYS inside the SoC which could be mostly found on those MediaTek SoCs with Bluetooth feature.
BTIF is needed for wifi and bt see Gary’s answer: 2.4Ghz and 5.6Ghz Wifi Working fine
as of the other errors, i’ve found out that in 4.4.70 there is
include/linux/device.h:303:#define DRIVER_ATTR(_name, _mode, _show, _store)
in 4.14 this is missing…
seems to be related: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9851919/
then we must use one of these:
#define DRIVER_ATTR_RW(_name) \
struct driver_attribute driver_attr_##_name = __ATTR_RW(_name)
#define DRIVER_ATTR_RO(_name) \
struct driver_attribute driver_attr_##_name = __ATTR_RO(_name)
#define DRIVER_ATTR_WO(_name) \
struct driver_attribute driver_attr_##_name = __ATTR_WO(_name)
but here the functions seems not to be given as params…how to set _show and _store? the macro builds the function-name together…see actual commit compiles fine
but throws a kernel-panic when wmt_launcher is running:

Is there any debug-mode to see on which step it failes? There are messages with WMT_INFO_FUNC and WMT_ERR_FUNC…how to display them?
try to add some printk’s like it’s recommended here: https://elinux.org/Debugging_by_printing (Author’s practical advice)

then comes the oops listed above…and also the WMT-mesages are here…
wmt_dev.c (68,8 KB) wmt_plat_alps.c (44,9 KB)
seems that the problem is that my cfg could not be loaded…have lowercase filename instead of uppercase (for whatever reason) after renaming, kernel hangs…seems that kernel has crashed more than i thought…the renaming was not present after a reset…so i renamed again and started wmt_loader:

pushed current state to my github-wifi-branch
https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-R2-4.14/tree/wifi_mt6625l
and uploaded compiled Kernel to my gdrive
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1EGN1TvqCpDHdOAS-mjRg9ipi0kahnOUV
happy testing
some messages in log that should be fixed, if all is working and debug-kprints are removed: wifi_dmesg.log (6,5 KB)
configured hostapd, seems to run, see the AP “test”, but cannot connect to it (hostapd does not recognize connect-attempt)
anybody tried it?
i try to find the kernel-oops (currently for the missing conf-file)
it happens while calling “wmt_plat_deinit();” in drivers/misc/mediatek/connectivity/common/conn_soc/mt7623/wmt_plat_alps.c
[ +0.000006] DEBUG: Passed wmt_plat_deinit 362 now calling wake lock destroy -1057754704

as you see both adresses are the same:
created the messages like this way:
INT32 wmt_plat_deinit(VOID)
{
INT32 iret = 0;
/* 2. unreg to cmb_stub */
iret = mtk_wcn_cmb_stub_unreg();

printk(KERN_ALERT "DEBUG: Passed %s %d now calling wakeup_source_trash\n",__FUNCTION__,__LINE__);
wakeup_source_trash(&wmtWakeLock);
#else
printk(KERN_ALERT "DEBUG: Passed %s %d now calling wake lock destroy %d\n",__FUNCTION__,__LINE__,(int)&wmtWakeLock);

printk(KERN_ALERT "DEBUG: Passed %s %d now wmtWakeLock->ws: %d\n",__FUNCTION__,__LINE__,(int)&(wmtWakeLock.ws));
wake_lock_destroy(&wmtWakeLock);
...
any idea how to fix this? wmtWakeLock and its member ws is a struct and not dynamic allocated as i’ve found out, so i assume that there have no memory freed manually.
(drivers/misc/mediatek/connectivity/common/combo seems not be used, deleted from git after try to build without it)
back to AP-function itself…i can create the AP, see it in handy, but hostapd does nothing if i try to connect…any idea here?

used same kernel (4.4.107) on debian jessie works, can connect to the AP with same steps…now trying the same with 4.14
with 4.14 AP also works in jessie too 
no idea, why it does not work in stretch…
but also on close hostapd and restart, ap is no more visible

included wifi-driver in main-branch…please do some tests
issues (same in 4.4.x):
- kernel-oops if /system/etc/firmware/WMT_SOC.cfg not existing
- hostapd is working the first-time, after killing it and restart, AP is not visible on clients (no error-Message on hostapd). tested on debian jessie (after upgrade to stretch it have same behavior after killing hostapd) => see https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-R2-4.14/issues/4
bluetooth is not working yet
currently i try to port the wifi-driver to 4.16
having problems to change
init_timer(timer);
to
timer_setup(timer,(void *)pTimer->timeoutHandler,0);
in drivers/misc/mediatek/connectivity/common/conn_soc/linux/pub/osal.c because with 4.15 init_timer is no more available and i have no idea where to put the timer->data, because “timer_list” does not have the data member anymore
any idea how to port that?
edit: here data is used before and from_timer function is used to get the pointer…but where is it set? https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9986119/
I’ve found an article on lwn https://lwn.net/Articles/735887/ the data seems to be no more needed because the parameter of callback also changed
dear frank-w a few days trying to activate the internal wifi on the forum manuals, but nothing happened.
Therefore, if possible, please, instead of kilometers of logs and patches, put a normally understood instruction or ready firmware with a working wifi.
as a basis I took your firmware bpi-r2_debian_stretch_4.14.13.img from 21.01.18 in it I tried different versions of the kernel
Steps are the same as with Kernel 4.4…

- wmt_loader
- stp_uart_launcher -p /etc/firmware &
- echo A >/dev/wmtWifi (activate AP-Mode)
if you have done this you should see an ap0-device in “ip a”. My image has no wpa-supplicant installed so you can skip this point in my wiki
Also a script is linked on that page to do the steps and if you modify last lines it can set ip-address and launch dnsmasq and hostapd
Hi. Just the quick success story report.
So I am using Frank’s image deb_stretch_4.14.13.img.gz from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1oP7jy1KrrIOifvImo2nQ59wx3_9hHkgk with manually updated kernel 4.14.27-bpi-r2-main (both compile on arm and cross-compile on pc seems to work) from Frank’s github.
For the moment the list of features I could get to work with it.
- working Ethernet - both lan and wan
- working intrenal wifi ap (g-mode, single ssid for now), hostapd restarting fine
- working routing and nat (yet have not bothered to check if it is hardware or cpu-based)
- working site to site ipsec (other sbc devices on opposite side e.g. opi prime/win, bpi r1 and even Cisco routers)
- working dhcp server
- working dns server
- could move the image to emmc
My goals left for this hardware:
- see if it is possible to actually make multi-ssid ap working
- wifi faster than g mode
- see if nat is performed with cpu and find if it might be performed with hardware
- investigate gpio f-ty of this hardware, for one of my side-project
Strange questions left:
- what is the purpose of the switch above sd card slot (at least on my hardware revision v1.2). It says emmc-sd but seems to influence nothing.
- what is the difference between wlan0 and ap0 interfaces. If one is virtual bounded to another why do it for single ssid?
- have anyone managed to use mini PCI-E interface? I’ve tried to insert 1u-n01 usb3.0 card into it but it seems not to see it (no output in dmesg, no leds on card or power on port).
Huge thanks to Frank W for his work and answers and to sinovoip for hardware.
You have wlan0 and ap0? wlan0 is for client-mode, ap0 for ap-mode
Pcie works with my kernel (i have mt7612-card running) but you need to include drivers for your card…
dear renard.
Can you post this image? I can not activate the wifi and enable the access point.
The image is linked to his post. You need to do same steps as with Kernel 4.4. Maybe i have the wifi.sh included to make the steps. Else you can use it from here: https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-R2-4.14/tree/main/utils/scripts
dear renard. Can you post this image? I can not activate the wifi and enable the access point.
Yes. Just be sure that you copy this script (wifi.sh) or write your own (which I did before have noticed this one), enable it (with systemctl or init.d) and make it the prerequisite for hostapd service. You may use the image straight from the link in my post (I updated the kernel because I needed some iptables and ipsec related modules, wifi worked with the included 4.14.13 kernel).
You have wlan0 and ap0? wlan0 is for client-mode, ap0 for ap-mode
Understood. Looks logical. Thanks.

Maybe my mPCIe to USB3.0 card is not working - I have nowhere else to test it. Yet it should be at least seen in dmesg if it is working and provide 5v on usb. Anyway - no big deal about it.
