I try to install openwrt in my orangepi-pc from openwrt download page (xunci board).
I can enter to the openwrt prompt, but some critical part is still not working.
I also get error :

wdt_restart, write reg 0xf1c20cb0 all the time (watchdog timer ???)

Hope someone with more experience will work on openwrt for opi soon ...

Thank's

Update:
I can get more complete openwrt working on my orange pi pc by installing filesystem part from bananapi forum.
LAN is working, I can install package from openwrt repository (tested php5).
But still, I got the annoying watchdog alarm all the time.

Insert this into /etc/rc.local before exit 0:

1. echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs
   
2. dmesg -n 1

Why do you need to use openwrt? Can't you install the same tools iin regular Debian distro?
OpenWRT has been developed to be small enough for fitting into the limited storage and memory available in home routers, on OPI you can use the full distro (CLI).

I'll try it.
I love openwrt because of its lightness. I need to use my Pi for scripting server (PHP and its modules), cron, and probably simple web interface. All modules in openwrt is a minimalist ones. For me size is matter. With openwrt I can get maximum free mem to be used by my script (a hundred more session).I did try your debian release also. I like it. It will be my second choice if I fail with openwrt.

@loboris:

update:
OK, the alarm message has gone, but it is still in dmesg so ... I assume, the "problem" is still exists.
Do you mind to tell what is the root cause?

Here is my dmesg :

@loboris:

update:

I think it is just an info.
It can probably be disabled by commenting out pr_info in kernel source (drivers/watchdog/sunxi_wdt.c)

1. static int wdt_restart(void)
   
2. {
   
3. #ifdef WATCHDOG_DBG
   
4.     if(NULL == wdt_reg) {
   
5.         pr_err("%s err, line %d\n", __func__, __LINE__);
   
6.         return -1;
   
7.     }
   
8. #endif
   
9. 
   
10.     pr_info("%s, write reg 0x%08x\n", __func__, (u32)&wdt_reg->ctrl);
    
11.     writel((0xA57 << 1) | (1 << 0), &wdt_reg->ctrl);
    
12.     return 0;
    
13. }

Copy code

If you can compile the kernel, you can try yourself.

Thank you for the reply.
