version: 20326M
I've gotten OpenWRT up on a board that appears to be close to the AP83
reference board. However, there
are a few differences.
One is, on initialization, since it is not a 'real' AP83, the checks in
mach-83.c fail. However, by forcing
the board revision to be 40, I was able to get a bootable kernel, that
initializes the ethernet hardware
correctly, and seems to allow hostapd to run and begin broadcasting its
SSID. I've tried to
associate a laptop, and it seems to associate, but I can't tell if
anything more is happening.
When I run "iwlist wlan0 scanning", I get an indication the 'interface
does not support scanning'.
When I run "iwspy", all the interfaces are listed, and gives an error
"Interface doesn't support..."
When I cat out "/proc/net/wireless" the data values are all 0.
The other problem I have, is the board I'm working with apparently has
32M of Flash memory,
while the AP83 looks like it only has 16M. in 'mach-ap83.c' the size of
the flash is set to be 16M
and if that is altered there is a failure message during the kernel boot
indicating that the size is too large.
If the value of 16M is maintained, the flash detection/initialization
code detects the size of the Flash,
indicates it is too large, and only sets up MTD partitions based on the
flash area less than 16M.
The question here is, where are the partitions allocated, and what to
change to accomodate a larger ar9100_flash
device.
----------------
Problems when building for the AP83 from the sources.
During the final phases of the build, when the target/toolchain files
are being copied, the file
taret/toolchain/Makefile
does not correctly utilize the "ARCH_SUFFIX", and creates an erroneous name.
If I have a chance I'll create a diff file for this.
----------------------------------
Any information on the AP83 at the machine setup stage would be appreciated.
