Looks like the Brainslayer's ath10k wifi LED patch v8 works ok, so I will keep it in the build.
The correct wifi LEDs will now work ok. Automatically for new installs, and for sysupgrades once you have adjusted LED config in /etc/config/system to use ath10k-phy0 and ath10k-phy1 LEDs.
config led 'led_wlan2g'
option name 'WLAN 2G'
option trigger 'phy1tpt'
option sysfs 'ath10k-phy1'
option default '0'
config led 'led_wlan5g'
option name 'WLAN 5G'
option trigger 'phy0tpt'
option sysfs 'ath10k-phy0'
option default '0'
But naturally the patches included with each of my builds work cleanly only with the exact same main source (and packages sources) versions that I used for the build and for generating the patches. If you try to apply patches later, or if you git pull updates to the sources, you may need to adapt patches and/or use git stash magic and then edit the conflicts away. (Or you could just git checkout the exact commit from the sources to be able to apply the patches cleanly.)
It has two sysupgrade image; one with the default stmmac ethernet driver while another image is built with the nss-gmac ethernet driver. For those who experienced high latency for your R7800, appreciate if you can help test the image and see if it solves the high latency issue.
You can also build the image yourself using the GitHub repository here:
I am currently in the process of replacing ISP equipment with among other a R7800. The provider supplies IPTV through multicast for live streams and unicast for recorded streams so I did some research and found out that support for VLAN, IGMP snooping and IGMP proxy is needed to make the multicast work. As far as I understood this is all supported by default in OpenWRT/LEDE, but I also came across another user of the same provider struggeling with multicast and made a post in the general development thread regarding the possible solution found to the issue. What I am still wondering si if this build has everything included that is necessary for multicast?
I did not succeed in building an image with a working CandelaTech driver. Driver is not loading. Can someone please give me a recipe how to make it run? Is this CandelaTech driver still producing packet errors?
Hi. I have a silly question; I've already created hnyman's build environment and successfully built the R7800 image. If I want to download and build the latest image, do I need to re-create a new build environment or is there a way to update the existing patches, src code, etc. ?
If git pull causes conflicts, you can stash the changes.
Or you can compare the patches to my next next build after conflicting changes, and just do the possible changes by hand.
But there is no automatic way to notice all changes done by me.
But R7800 is so stable that there aren't that many changes usually. I change something very seldom.
NFS, it works well on LEDE 17.01.4 Stable. I tried install nfs-kernel-server on master-r6427/r6420 and lede1701-r3862 but it tells me kernel version dependency error. Maybe it has to do with the first post note about kernel. Does anybody use nfs with this version? I tried install it forced but the router restarts during the install.
i'm having a bit of an odd problem with the very latest 1701 build (r3862), i can't select 5ghz channel 48 for some reason. it has the right channel LUCI and in the config, but it keeps using channel 44. i didn't have this problem with r3853.
