i'm trying to use a mesh router to operate a duck coop door, and this means i
want the USB port to recognize an ACM serial port. This is a normal thing for
openWRT and usually works thusly:
opkg update # downloads opkg package lists to /tmp
opkg install kmod-usb-acm # installs a kernel module for ACM serial USB devices
unfortunately, there are some problems with present mesh node firmware
(including a node that was flashed in December 2015 and another which was
flashed recently) and this process doesn't work.
for starters, the opkg.conf on mesh nodes is messed up - i'm not sure why but
there's a github issue here:
https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware/issues/108
to get "opkg update" to work, follow the instructions in the first comment.
That works for me, but when i do "opkg install kmod-usb-acm" i get the
following error:
# opkg install kmod-usb-acm
Installing kmod-usb-acm (3.18.23-1) to root...

Jake,
The error means that you have a mismatch between the kernel version you are
running and the one required for the package. Ever since this [
https://dev.openwrt.org/changeset/29686] happened OpenWRT requires that
modules are from the same build as the kernel you are running, by checking
a hash.
Unfortunately it seems that
http://builds.sudomesh.org/builds/chaos_calmer/ar71xx/packages/ only
contains a smattering of packages, and kmod-usb-acm is not among them.Any
reason for this?
All kmod- packages ought to be built and made available there, in order to
guarantee kernel compatibility. And your opkg.conf "base" pointer should
point at the sudomesh repo.
For instant gratification, you can try "opkg --force-depends install
<package>" (but don't expect it to work).

I made a branch of sudowrt-firmware called build-all-kmods which should do
just that (for home nodes).
The opkg.conf stuff probably needs to be changed in makenode.

thanks so much for doing this! i'm guessing that part of the reason the list
of modules was reduced was because people didn't want to wait for everything to
compile?
is there an alternate solution, perhaps something like modifying the sudomesh
kernel to not check hashes on kernel modules? then would I be able to use an
upstream kmod-usb-acm for example?
i don't think i'm anywhere near being able to compile a branch of the
sudowrt-firmware. maybe i'll come to the next meeting and see if anyone has
time to show me how it's done, or integrate your pull request to master.
thank you again Alex

thanks so much Alex! of course i tried --force-depends but it didn't work,
although if i then run it a second time it claims that:
Package kmod-usb-acm (3.18.23-1) installed in root is up to date.
but it still doesn't work, no surprise there. Marc thought the problem was
that kernel modules did not auto-load, but they totally are supposed to and
anyway i couldn't load it with modprobe and i don't even know if it installed
anywhere.
I downloaded
http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05.1/ar71xx/generic/packages/b…
but it's an .ipk file and i have no idea how it's made, if i wanted to fuck
with its hash function to force it to try to run... although i guess it's the
kernel that's checking the hash of the file against a whitelist or something?
if you're saying that the opkg.conf file should be differnet from this:
https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware/issues/108
please make a comment there or just tell me here so it can be improved.. i
don't know if anyone else understands this stuff as well as you do and if they
do they're too busy to work on this part of the mesh. and four ducks are
depending on it! (actually stuff works but i want to migrate away from a laptop
and just use a mesh node to do this stuff)
thank you
