Hello list!
I've installed OpenWrt Chaos Calmer (r44972) on a Mikrotik RouterBoard
RB912UAG-5HPnD and I'm facing troubles with the on-board MiniPCI Express
slot:
any device I connect is not detected (I've tried with "Huawei EM820W" HSPA+
module and "Huawei ME909u-512" LTE module).
I think it is just a matter of how the PCI/USB subsystems are initialized.
In
fact, the RB912UAG-5HPnD board has partially shared USB port and miniPCIe
slot.
Due to hardware restrictions it is possible to use only one at the time for
3G
modem [1].
I don't know if relevant, but at boot I see the following messages.
root@OpenWrt:/# dmesg | grep -i pci

And after that:

On Mikrotik's RouterOS there is a setting in the '/system routerboard usb'
menu
to select the USB port type. The available properties are: USB-type-A and
mini-PCIe. Once the USB port type is set to "mini-PCIe", Mikrotik's RouterOS
recognizes my PCIe devices and ignores any USB device connected the USB
port. On
the other hand, OpenWrt only sees the USB device and does not detect any
PCIe
device.
Is there a way to tell OpenWrt the USB port type to use? Is it a matter of
GPIO
settings? Has anyone had the same problems?
Thank you and best regards,
Giorgio Buffa
