Firmware Resets

Open Mushoz opened this issue 4 years ago • 53 comments

I have upgraded my DIR-860L device from 19.07.1 to 19.07.4 (which means the mt76 driver received this update: https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=9da31d0fb402f5ee3f3973ee07625942634a38fb) and now my kernel logs are getting spammed by this, over and over and over again:

I experience small hiccups in the my connection, supposedly due to the firmware resetting. I did see these message very rarely on 19.07.1 as well, but not as often as I do on 19.07.4. If you need any additional information for debugging this, please let me know!

same problem on my 7621 or 7621 devices

ptpt52 avatar Sep 15 '20 22:09 ptpt52

@ptpt52 there are many different mt7621 devices, with many different WiFi chips supported by the mt76 driver. With which devices are you having issues? Might help us pinpoint the issue.

Mushoz avatar Sep 16 '20 05:09 Mushoz

Same problem here too (mt7621, D-Link 860L). Only difference is that my PPPoE connection is also dropping.

This is the WIFI issue (only affecting 2.4GHz btw):

Tried with today's master, and the issue is the same: the 2.4GHz wifi cannot be enabled, otherwise this happens (every second, repeatedly):

Same problem on Xiaomi R3G router with openwrt 19.07.4

vgmz95 avatar Sep 23 '20 05:09 vgmz95

Adding a comment that I do NOT see this error on a ZBT-WE3526 (7621A/7603) on 19.07.4 I USED to see it regularly (a few times a week) on 19.07.3, so the new code on the same hardware with the same clients seems better (in terms of this error) with .4

Maybe something in how the ROM data is being interpreted on some devices?

EDIT 28 days later- I have seen this again, very sporadically, but it happens even after 7+ days of uptime on a very busy network. So longer runtimes before the occurrence, but still there.

I'm also seeing this on DIR-860L with snaphot r14572-4682d4d770. Works fine up to 19.07.3.

Same MCU time outs on 860L B1 here as well, occurring on both dd-wrt and openrwrt, appears to only affect 5GHz radio. Stock firmware runs without any radio issues - eliminating hardware fault hypothesis.

I just bumped to a recent master build (d346beb08c3a7867497000dc382635ee8ea0eedb) and I'm bumping into the hardware restart issue as well.

At this point, with 21.02 being around the corner, I'd advise trying that. Has a much newer mt76 version.

Builds can be grabbed here: https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02-SNAPSHOT/targets/ramips/mt7621/ (include LuCI if you're worried about that).

@robho Maybe something similar to https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/af1b6799c6ec9af7a30d63a5ddfed20f443b991c could help you (need to adapt your device DTS and recompile).

But going back to a version from 2018 sound like a bad idea to me, therefore I'd have to compile it against Linux 5.4.154 mips .. not sure it will be compatible ?

Hi all Please upgrade the new version of firmware bin and test it

  1. download the firmware https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ptpt52/mt76/master/firmware/mt7662_firmware_e3_v1.9.bin
  2. rename it to mt7662.bin and replace file /lib/firmware/mt7662.bin
  3. reboot

Can you provide the source code and compile it yourself, thank you.

jxph1123 avatar Jan 11 '22 09:01 jxph1123

for clarity Wifi Firmware bin is come from mtk SDK and no source code is possible for us

the old version in mt76 (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openwrt/mt76/master/firmware/mt7662_firmware_e3_v1.9.bin) also no source

ptpt52 avatar Jan 11 '22 09:01 ptpt52

@jxph1123 hi you may do more test to get the result there is no likely reason the old version of mt76 fix this issue

some guys reported to me.

ptpt52 avatar Jan 11 '22 09:01 ptpt52

Can you provide the source code and compile it yourself, thank you.

Firmware blobs are always binary. Even if manufacturers would be willing to provide you source code for it, that would violate FCC regulations and whatnot.
