Re: Router witch Openwrt and BCM6756 transfer to other Router - 23 days ago
You could try dumping the image partition and mount it in Linux. See if there are things that could prevent u-boot from loading the image. I'm guessing once you see the image layout, you could see how things need to be moved around as router B expects.by bodhi - Rescue System

Re: Router witch Openwrt and BCM6756 transfer to other Router - 23 days ago
Quantummaster, It won't work without other changes, not just flashing the image. 1. In the log, the bootargs showed there are other differences between A and B. And the differences are: mtdparts layout (NAND vs SPI device), and the UBI device. Probably UBIFS layout is the same (only image volume). 2. The bootargs is hard coded in u-boot before it loads the kernel. 3. The u-bootby bodhi - Rescue System

This box is basically identical to Pogo E02 in all HW aspects, i.e same SoC, except the RAM size. You can try using the Pogo E02 cfg as is, since the Pogo E02 has 256MB and the Stora has 512MB.

OK, so you have envs listing for both A and B? please post tthem here. And when you play with the envs, don't save them. You only need to save them permanently after you are satisfied that you can boot into OpenWrt.by bodhi - Rescue System

Hi Trond, Looks like we need to find the pin for audio. I forget all about this. Does this box really have audio?

Mike, This box has many problems. Booting with USB 3.0 rootfs seems to work most of the time. I recall sometime I saw intermittent problem like you did. So I run this box with the rootfs on the external SD card, and boot the kernel directly from that. The USB 3.0 slots are used for normal USB 3.0 data drive perfectly fine. root=LABEL=rootfs never fails for me. I still have an SD card in thby bodhi - Debian
