Will the brume ever support vanilla openwrt? Does GL plan to submit patches to openwrt for this fantastic small little router?

Yes, we will wait for the software to be fully functional and submit the patch to openwrt19.07

Iām using vanilla openwrt since a while now, with vlans, dnsmasq, unbound and a lot of stuff configured. Itās rock stable and works really well. Just the led patches are missing, but since the router is in a cabinet that does not really matter to me.
Whatās missing for openwrt? Is it just the led patches?
@Simon can you share some info for brume vanilla build?
i did some custom build in the past but none for a ānew deviceā, gl-inet takes forever to submit patches.
thank you for your time and info.

Sure. What do you want to know?
@Simon i did some build for devices already in device tree with make menuconfig nothing special or advanced, i guess for a new device iāll have to use dts file from gl-inet repo but i have no idea, or iām trying to figure out, where to place files ad where to create a make file for new device. i also have no need for leds or other, device is just routing on top of shelfā¦ any info would be great.
many thanks

This is how I did it: GL-MV1000 web interface not accessible - #7 by Simon
If you have any specific questions just ask away!
@Simon many thanks, this commit answer all my questions about where to put info for new device, i guess that i need to start reading and merge info needed for mv1000 in my build directory.
any specific part i should avoid?
G
sorry for late feedbackā¦ did my build from stable tag v19.07.2, many thanks @Simon again.

There is a commit that fix the led on the brume fix: modify register for mv1000 Ā· gl-inet/openwrt@76252cd Ā· GitHub
Support for the brume on openwrt has been added: Index of /snapshots/targets/mvebu/cortexa53/
I tried install it through the usual way on the web ui without success, not sure what other options do we have.
they donāt look like uboot imgages.
glinet_gl-mv1000-ext4-sdcard.img.gz
glinet_gl-mv1000-initramfs-kernel.bin
glinet_gl-mv1000-squashfs-sdcard.img.gz
question?
does sdcard means the first partition in the micro sd reader or the ubuntu partition
I found flashing instructions: git.openwrt.org Git - openwrt/openwrt.git/commit
I got it working, I extracted the image from glinet_gl-mv1000-squashfs-sdcard.img.gz and uploaded with uboot.

what driver to enable network on the usb-c port?
I know the network file should have usb0 like below
config interface ālanā
option type ābridgeā
option ifname ālan0 lan1 usb0ā
USB-C port is connecting to USB gadget interface. So you need to install RNDIS driver.
yeah I installed kmod-usb-net-rndis but that did not work.
kmod-usb-gadget-eth not showing up in package list for snapshot.
Itās not that simple.
you need this three patches from the original gl-inet github commit (Feat:add GL-MV1000 support Ā· gl-inet/openwrt@b2ef497 Ā· GitHub)
540-arm64-add-udc-driver.patch
541-arm64-usb-device-dts.patch
542-arm64-usb-gadget-ether-fix-mac.patch
(for kernel 4.19 you should rename them to 547ā¦, 548ā¦, 549 for example)
Copy them to target/linux/mvebu/patches-4.14/ or target/linux/mvebu/patches-4.19/ (should work for both kernel versions)
then
make kernel_menuconfig
and the patches should apply.
Afterwards you can go to device drivers - usb - usb gadget support - usb periphal controller and select " Marvell USB2.0 Device Controller" and āMarvell Armada 38X/3700/8K USB 3.0 controllerā
save the config and
make
thank you. I just wish I knew what I was doing at making the build environment, adding the patches, the make kernel_menuconfig and everything after that because that is all above my skills base. Iāve tried walking myself through it only to end up wasting my time with failure.
just wondering how this is coming along with the new 19.07.3. I truely would like to be able to install something that is not snapshot on my brume.
I built a 19.07.3 brume vanilla image yesterday and also added the drivers for my dwa-171 wifi dongle , working much better than the openwrt snapshots.
