Hello.
I have a weird issue using wireless network on onion omega2p.
With an old openwrt 18 image works all fine. With a 23.05 image the apcli0 interface is missing:

# ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP qlen 1000
    link/ether 88:1e:59:00:3f:69 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.2.129/24 brd 192.168.2.255 scope global eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::8a1e:59ff:fe00:3f69/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
8: ra0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP qlen 1000
    link/ether 88:1e:59:00:3f:68 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.3.1/24 brd 192.168.3.255 scope global ra0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fda2:fb96:9cf5:10::1/60 scope global noprefixroute 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::8a1e:59ff:fe00:3f68/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

and if I try to enable it I get an error:

# ifconfig apcli0 up
ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device

And obviously with ifup command:

# ifup wwan
# ifstatus wwan
{
	"up": false,
	"pending": false,
	"available": true,
	"autostart": true,
	"dynamic": false,
	"proto": "dhcp",
	"device": "apcli0",
	"data": {
		
	},
	"errors": [
		{
			"subsystem": "interface",
			"code": "DEVICE_CLAIM_FAILED"
		}
	]
}

This is the configuration of the wireless client:

# uci show wireless.client
wireless.client=wifi-iface
wireless.client.device='radio0'
wireless.client.network='wwan'
wireless.client.mode='sta'
wireless.client.ssid='MySSID'
wireless.client.key='MyKey'
wireless.client.encryption='psk2'
wireless.client.ifname='apcli0'
wireless.client.disabled='0'

The AP mode works fine, I can connect to.
No clues from dmesg.
Disabling ra0 changes nothing. In any case, in my application I need both.

Any suggest? What I'm doing wrong?

Regards

Alberto

Thank you.

I have another problem, sorry!
My software uses oniondebug, onioni2c and onionspi libraries. I cannot find it in the onion repository (https://github.com/OnionIoT/OpenWRT-Packages.git). Are they missing in version 22 or 23? Are there another alternatives libraries?

Regards

Ok, it works!

Many thanks!

Just another question. Can I use version 23.05? Is it stable for onion omega2?

Regards

I built the firmware using the openwrt-imagebuilder-wrapper (https://github.com/OnionIoT/openwrt-imagebuilder-wrapper) and it works but doesn't populate "target-mipsel_24kc_musl" directory inside staging_dir (it contains just an empty "image" directory).

I'm also trying to build the firmware using openwrt-imagebuilder-22.03.5-ramips-mt76x8.Linux-x86_64 from http://downloads.onioniot.com/releases/22.03.5/targets/ramips/mt76x8/, with the following command line:

make -C ${HOME}/src/openwrt-imagebuilder-22.03.5-ramips-mt76x8.Linux-x86_64/ image PROFILE=onion_omega2p PACKAGES='onion-repo-keys omega2-base omega2-base-files omega2-base-passwd omega2-ctrl i2c-tools bash boost boost-atomic boost-chrono boost-date_time boost-filesystem boost-log boost-program_options boost-regex boost-system boost-thread boost-timer coreutils-sleep curl ethtool ip-tiny kmod-wireguard logrotate nginx objdump omega2-script openssh-sftp-server poco-all spawn-fcgi spi-tools sqlite3-cli tcpdump wireguard-tools wpa-cli'

I got the following errors:

Collected errors:
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package onion-repo-keys.
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package omega2-base.
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package omega2-base-files.
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package omega2-base-passwd.
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package omega2-ctrl.
...

Ok, correct, there are missing lines for onioniot packages repository in the repository.conf file .

I tried to use repository.conf file from openwrt-imagebuilder-wrapper, that contains these lines but I got other errors:

Collected errors:
 * opkg_conf_parse_file: Duplicate src declaration (openwrt_core https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/22.03.5/targets/ramips/mt76x8/packages). Skipping.

Collected errors:

 * pkg_hash_check_unresolved: cannot find dependency libgcc for libc
 * pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for libc found, but incompatible with the architectures configured
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package libc.

The message "Packages for libc found, but incompatible with the architectures configured" says that I missed a required step?

Any clue?

I'm using Eclipse CDT as IDE. The projects are configured as cross compiling projects, that permits to specify the path and the prefix of the toolchain (g++ compiler and other tools).
But for compiling and linking I have also to specify the includes search path (-I option) and the libraries search path (-L option) and set the environment variable STAGING_DIR, where I have, for the 18.06 version, both toolchain directory and target_dir.
I read the openwrt wiki page for cross compiling (https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/toolchain/crosscompile). They cited the staging_dir:
"If compilation aborts due to missing header files or shared objects, you might need to override CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to point to the staging_dir/target-architecture_uClibc-libcver/usr/include and .../usr/lib directories". This staging_dir is present in the sdk I downloaded, but, as I said, doesn't contain any include file.

Re: ️ Beta OpenWRT 22.03 firmware available! Your feedback is needed ️

Hello.
I need to cross compile C++ sources using the new firmware based on openwrt 22.03. I downloaded new image builder, sdk and toolchain from http://downloads.onioniot.com/releases/22.03.5/targets/ramips/mt76x8/. I am able to build a new working custom firmware and i compiled sdk but I am unable to compile my sources due to missing target_dir. The include directories in openwrt-sdk-22.03.5-ramips-mt76x8_gcc-11.2.0_musl.Linux-x86_64/staging_dir/target-mipsel_24kc_musl are empty.

Did I miss a needed step?

Hello,
I have a strange issue. I configured both AP and STA wireless interfaces.
AP works fine. I can connect my devices to Omega2.

The apcli0 interface cannot obtain an ip address from a 2.4GHz wifi router (other 2.4GHz devices work fine).
apcli0 is associated. I can see the following log lines:

kern.info ap_client: 'apcli0' assoc: yes, mac: 30:23:03:e0:dd:49

The command iwinfo apcli0 info correctly reports the ESSID and the mac address of the access point:

apcli0    ESSID: "MySSID"
          Access Point: 30:23:03:E0:DD:49
...

The dhcp request is sended:

daemon.notice netifd: wwan (18106): udhcpc: sending discover

On the router (Openwrt too) I have log messages like the following:

daemon.info hostapd: wlan1: STA 40:a3:6b:c5:8a:cc IEEE 802.11: authenticated
daemon.notice hostapd: wlan1: AP-STA-POSSIBLE-PSK-MISMATCH 40:a3:6b:c5:8a:cc

I don't know if the AP-STA-POSSIBLE-PSK-MISMATCH notice is relevant. I did not find any significant information on internet about it.

Some check I did:

• association with another router (not Openwrt)
• flushing of firewall rules (fw3 stop; fw3 flush)
• I changed options radio0.country and radio0.htmode

Any suggest? How can I do more debugging?

Best regards

Alberto

Re: Plans to update the onion omega2-source docker container?

Hello,
I wish to know if there is a plan to update omega2 docker SDK to OpenWRT version 19.07. I need a newer kernel for updated version of some drivers.

Best regards

Hello,
is there an updated version of the docker image onion/omega2-source for version 18.01? I need updated version of some libraries and software not available in LEDE 17.01 for cross-compiling.
Is there a package repository for version 18.01 or can I use that one of openwrt?
