Thanks for info, please kindly update if any new info availaibe

Thanks for your information, will let R&D guys evaluate this.

bruce · 2024-10-11T10:23:24.933Z

Just update:

Discussed with SiFlower, let us wait them to submit relevant WIFI driver patches to the OpenWRT.

hecatae · 2024-10-23T09:15:07.845Z

Have they given any timescale?

bruce · 2024-10-28T10:43:52.989Z

Waiting for SiFlower to submit relevant Wi-Fi driver patches to OpenWRT.

There may be some compatibility issues, and no time is given.

professor · 2024-12-26T01:27:11.468Z

Any update?

bruce · 2024-12-26T10:15:25.615Z

Still await SiFlower improves this.

It seems openwrt will not be supporting this then? I am not finding image builder for it.

+33152 -1

This add gsw150 driver code to kernel via: 994-switch-add-gsw150.patch

Wouldn't this be a driver?

hecatae · 2025-02-03T12:49:28.227Z

@alzhao @bruce is this the required switch code?

hecatae · 2025-02-03T16:57:29.168Z

you'd hope so, @bruce did mention something about WiFi issues, I'm currently booting the Siflower EVB image on a BPI-WiFi5, it boots, just do not have ethernet or wifi working at present, so working over serial at present.

alzhao · 2025-02-04T03:13:31.022Z

I really don't know. Let's wait a while for guys coming back to work

hecatae · 2025-02-10T09:14:41.269Z

Looks like Siflower are committing several patches to mainline Openwrt at once:

Any update? They seem to have added one device on the snapshot branch.

Since my SFT1200 is basically unusable running on unsupported/unsecure OpenWrt v18.06 i contacted glinet support. Their answer was: "The software department is currently working on OpenWrt compatibility based on the new firmware, now we are facing some challenges at the moment, but engineers still trying resolve these issue.
Unfortunately, we do not have a clear plan can share."

There's a lot of Opal owners here who would happily beta or even alpha test anything they wanted to let us test.

I have four Opals, one of them is stripped to the circuit board and serial is attached.

professor · 2025-03-09T13:00:43.794Z

I have some still unboxed and just waiting to be supported by the latest OpenWRT so that I can build my own firmware and flash it. A beta would be fun to test.

hecatae · 2025-03-11T14:20:14.626Z

anyone interested in testing an initramfs image?

professor · 2025-03-14T22:13:48.204Z

I'm up

hecatae · 2025-03-21T21:05:43.316Z

I should be able to get this across to you this weekend.
