Hey Everyone,
I'm trying to get my USB 1.0/2.0 flash drive to work with the VoCore. I have read the OpenWRT articles the subject and I think my issue is that some of the dependencies for such USB support require a newer kernel. Would someone please explain how I would go about getting my flash drive to work? I will happily do additional research but I've run out ideas to look into. I need a guide to help me up this mountain!
Thanks,
Harrison

Re: Getting a USB 1.0/2.0 Flash Drive to Work
I followed http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/usb.essentials and http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/usb.storage and it works great. I have extroot running off my SanDisk Cruzer at this point:
Here is the majority of the packages I have installed, I may of missed a few but following the links above should make it obvious:
I also enabled the mkfs options for busybox in my image so I can format partitions too.
- Code: Select all
root@VoCore:/# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs 830.5M 7.9M 780.4M 1% /
/dev/root 2.0M 2.0M 0 100% /rom
tmpfs 14.3M 568.0K 13.8M 4% /tmp
/dev/sda2 830.5M 7.9M 780.4M 1% /overlay

/dev/sda1 126.0M 512 126.0M 0% /mnt/sda1

Re: Getting a USB 1.0/2.0 Flash Drive to Work
hello!
harrisonhjones, did you succeed?
i've try all the instructions from the links above, but got nothing.
during installation there were errors about kernel version incompatibility, i've managed them with -force-depends, so all packages have been installed, but usb flash still doesn't work ( not present in the output of df -h )

Hi, I did not try it yet, but I think you might need to recompile the hole openwrt, so there won't show the incompatible warning.
