Upstream PR #3
Comments
|
Hi @aparcar I planned on sending the Linux patches upstream as well as to OpenWrt, but IMHO considering the available interfaces on this board, it would not make a great router, also taking in account all the available alternatives in the same budget category. Also there's has been no mention of this board in OpenWrt forums. A 100M ethernet port is a huge bottleneck, pushing only 94Mbps. RADXA (the vendor) is working on a new board (aka E3) with an integrated network switch with the same SoC. I got occupied with getting the E3 to work with OpenWrt, and will surely send the patches for the E3 upstream once done. You are most welcome to send the patches for the ROCK Pi E upstream if you feel interested. |

I'll do so, OpenWrt is not just for classical WiFi routers but also e.g. switches or gateways for other wireless protocols, like LoRa. Could you please open a PR on OpenWrt and I'll help reviewing it? It'd look strange if I propose code created by someone else. |

Sure, I will open a PR at openwrt after I send the Linux Kernel patches. I would be glad if you could provide me with some tips/tricks on formatting patches to send to Linux maintainers, I don't want to make a bad first impression. Thank you. |

I can help with OpenWrt patches, for kernel patches exists an extensive document with a step by step guide: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.17/process/submitting-patches.html |
The Ubiquiti Network airCube AC is a cube shaped device supporting 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz with internal 2x2 MIMO antennas. It can be powered with either one of: - 24v power supply with 3.0mm x 1.0mm barrel plug - 24v passive PoE on first LAN port There are four 10/100/1000 Mbps ports (1 * WAN + 3 * LAN). First LAN port have optional PoE passthrough to the WAN port. SoC: Qualcomm / Atheros AR9342 RAM: 64 MB DDR2 Flash: 16 MB SPI NOR Ethernet: 4x 10/100/1000 Mbps (1 WAN + 3 LAN) LEDS: 1x via a SPI controller (not yet supported) Buttons: 1x Reset Serial: 1x (only RX and TX); 115200 baud, 8N1 Missing features: - LED control is not supported Physical to internal switch port mapping: - physical port #1 (poe in) = switchport 2 - physical port #2 = switchport 3 - physical port #3 = switchport 5 - physical port #4 (wan/poe out) = switchport 4 Factory update is tested and is the same as for Ubiquiti AirCube ISP hence the shared configuration between that devices.

Just found out this patch: Seems that ROCK Pi E is already sent for upstream. I will update the DTS files for OpenWrt to match with that of upstream. |
|
are there any news regarding upstreaming this to openwrt? |
|
the upstream dts includes various other features that isn't available on 5.4 kernel. A lot of upstream backports is to be added if 5.4-target is to be compiled. 5.10 works great though. |

Hi, any news to upstream this changes to OpenWrt? |
Any plans to suggest these patches to upstream?
