Hi,

I am also fine if the user has to use image builder. This board is a bit special. Maybe we should allow board specific initram fs root file systems in the future. This would also help in other cases where the user has to bot an initramfs system for initial flashing. We can do this later.

Hi,

I can understand that it took a long time. The wasp loader kernel module v5 is 
the next in the review list of the remoteproc-linux kernel list.
I will try to deal with Haukes suggestions by the end of the week. With regards 
to the packages, I think wpad is a left over from my tests and I can remove it 
and I will rework the kernel patches.
But for the special packages that are not honored by the build bots, I do not 
really have a solution. For now I was thinking of instructions to use the image 
builder, which also means, that as a start there will not be any downloadable 
images that cover all possible functionality.

Hi all,

Here is my second attempt for initial FritzBox x490 support. 22.03 now
has all the necessary prerequisites, so support can be added according
to the rules.

The original code snippets were submitted by John Crispin (IIRC),
Andreas Böhler and Daniel Kestrel. I carved out the changes I
considered necessary, integrated and tested them and cleaned them up
(hopefully ;)

These are the minimal changes required to run the FB {3,7}490 as DSL
router (tested!). The 5490 is reported to be similar, so I included
it, but could not test it due to lack of hardware.

The wireless on these boxes is offloaded to a secondary SoC which
needs to be provided its own OS. This feature is explicitly left out
here in order to go step by step. I kept some loose ends where they
don't hurt, for future reference.

Changes from v1:
----------------

* return to squashfs for the rootfs; ubifs causes too much complexity
    esp. for updates, when even the same model can be equipped with
    varying flash chip geometries. UBI partitioning and volumes are kept
    though.

Hi,

How is this related to the pull request adding support for these devices
on github?
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/5075

The pull request on github looks mostly ok to me, I just had some minor
questions.

Hauke
