Openwrt 19.07.3 build -- patch failure

[Vonger]

Wow, now 19.07.4 already supported that patch, but I tested the official compiled version it is not working well...iperf3 only 10Mbps
But I compile 19.07.4 directly from openwrt source code, mt76 works well, 58Mbps even good than MTK driver, weird, it should be same code.

I did not check whether the patch related to the performance is in, but I wanted to give some feedback on how to get the VoCore2 with 19.07.3 running.

1. Follow strictly the documentation on https://github.com/vonger/vocore2 for the first steps:

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt.git
cd openwrt
git checkout v19.07.3
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
cd ./package
git clone https://github.com/vonger/vocore2.git

2. now apply ALL patches which are described:

Code: Select all

cd ..
mkdir ./package/kernel/mt76/patches
cp ./package/vocore2/openwrt.1907/0822-mt76-read-factory-eeprom.patch ./package/kernel/mt76/patches
patch -p1 < ./package/vocore2/openwrt.1907/vocore2-default-banner.patch
patch -p1 < ./package/vocore2/openwrt.1907/vocore2-default-enable-wireless.patch
patch -p1 < ./package/vocore2/openwrt.1907/vocore2-default-lan-address.patch
patch -p1 < ./package/vocore2/openwrt.1907/vocore2-default-password.patch
patch -p1 < ./package/vocore2/openwrt.1907/vocore2-fixmaster-sdcard.patch

3. now additional apply following patch which is not described!:

Code: Select all

patch -p1 < ./package/vocore2/openwrt.1907/vocore2-default-enable-sdcard.patch

4. copy the configuration files for the kernel into the right directory

Code: Select all

cp ./package/vocore2/openwrt.1907/config-4.14 ./target/linux/ramips/mt76x8/

5. copy now finally the config file for the openwrt make process into the main directory

Code: Select all

cp ./package/vocore2/openwrt.1907/.config .

6. now it's important to execute one time

Code: Select all

make menuconfig

to properly update the .config file
7. then execute simply

Code: Select all

make

8. finally the executable is available in

Code: Select all

bin/targets/ramips/mt76x8/openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-vocore2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
