WPA2 ?

Sun Dec 11, 2016 1:27 am

I'm unable to select WPA in Luci and if I try to set it in /etc/config/wireless it sets up a wifi hotspot called Openwrt.

Thanks

I had the same Issue, tried to update openwrt to see if this fixes it, unfortunately with a wrong file and now the vocore2 is bricked for the moment. I think tomorrow I will try to unbrick and find out more.

Hi, that is a little bug of LuCI, please follow our tutorial at vocore.io/v2, "Setup AP + STA Mode" you will able to make it.

If you put an image on it that won't even fully boot up you will need to use uboot.

When the VoCore2 boots up you will see this on a serial connection:

******************************
Software System Reset Occurred
******************************
============================================
Ralink UBoot Version: 4.3.0.0
--------------------------------------------
ASIC 7628_MP (Port5<->None)
DRAM component: 512 Mbits DDR, width 16
DRAM bus: 16 bit
Total memory: 64 MBytes
Flash component: SPI Flash
Date:Jun 25 2016 Time:09:25:16
============================================
icache: sets:512, ways:4, linesz:32 ,total:65536
dcache: sets:256, ways:4, linesz:32 ,total:32768
RESET MT7628 PHY!!!!!!
Please choose the operation:
0: Load system code then write to Flash via SERIAL.
1: Load system code to SDRAM via TFTP.
2: Load system code then write to Flash via TFTP.
3: Boot system code via Flash (default).
4: Entr boot command line interface.
5: Load system code then write to Flash via USB Storage.
7: Load Boot Loader code then write to Flash via Serial.
8: Start Web Server to load system code.
9: Load Boot Loader code then write to Flash via TFTP.

If you have a USB memory stick the easiest way to load an image is to put it on the stick, rename it "root_uImage", plug it into the USB host connector of the VoCore2 and use option 5. The USB drive has to be formatted vfat, most of them come that way.

I recommend my image, see this post for details.

Great, thanks Nobelpepper. Your image works great. With the stock image I can't create a WPA2 AP, it simply refuses to bring up the wireless and there is nothing in dmesg or logread so could not easily debug it.

Is the build process you used online somewhere? I like to build my own images. Thanks.

The "this post" link in my previous post has a link to my GitHub repo. If you browse my GitHub account you'll find a work in progress lede-source fork too. On the lede repo you want the vocore2prep branch. Expect slower wifi speed on lede it uses the open source driver that still needs work. I'm getting decent speed recently but I've seen much variation between boards before so I'm very interested in results elsewhere. I think there is link to a pre built lede repo in my earlier post if you want to take a quick look.

One of the things I didn't like about the 1st vocore was the lack of a central code base, if people want to submit pull request to my GitHub I will be happy to maintain it.

My plans at this point are:
Get my wiki up to date for vocore2 (HELP!! Please)
Submit to Lede for a "official" image
Submit to OpenWrt trunk for a "official" image
Submit to OpenWrt for a backport to chaos calmer.

wpa2 is working great with your image, but if you change for example the ssid in Luci the encryption gets reset to none in this case it's a bit different as said in http://vocore.io/v2u.html it's "ap" instead of "sta" so it would be something like this:

root@vocore2:/etc# uci set wireless.ap.ssid="preferred name of wifi"
root@vocore2:/etc# uci set wireless.ap.key="key"
root@vocore2:/etc# uci set wireless.ap.encryption=psk2
root@vocore2:/etc# uci commit
root@vocore2:/etc# /etc/init.d/network restart

Return to VoCore2/Lite/Ultimate
