Indeed strange, You have plenty of memory and spare space in /overlay so this looks like it's the work of opkg's bugs as above
Have you tried rerunning the script? or same outcome?

As this is built on OpenWrt's Bleeding Edge there may be some bugs but it's stable enough for most uses. I'll test another build and see if this goes away.

EDIT:

OK a reboot seems to have resulted in a successful script execution, I was just avoiding rebooting the modem until I really had to.

[jsamuel]

Do you perhaps have LuCI open atall? Try closing it and try 'opkg update;opkg install muninlite' again when closed, or rerun ./update.sh

LuCI does have some performance issues, One of OpenWrt's dev's has confirmed but yet to investigate.

The Netgear D7800 source code release contains some newer Lantiq sources:

drv_dsl_cpe_api_vrx-4.16.5.4.tar.gz
drv_mei_cpe-1.4.9.7.tar.gz
dsl_cpe_control_vrx-4.16.5.4.tar.gz

The D7800 is VR10 / VRX320, but it looks like those Lantiq sources can be built for different devices. The changelog entries didn't sound particularly important, they are mostly to support the newer chip.

[jsamuel]

Thank you ejs
I'll have a dig into it, I wonder where OEMs get the sources from. perhaps Lantiq give them updates directly?

Does anyone know how the interaction with tftp should work.  I need to run tftp on windows but what command initiates the update or does the ctrl-c bit do the update and then you type the commands listed?  Thanks

The ECI has a monitor program that runs on boot. It's default behaviour is to listen on the serial port for a few seconds for a Ctrl-C indicating a person is trying to interact with it. Upon receiving it, it enters an interactive session which supports a series of commands. The commands listed define tftp server addresses in the environment etc and then saves them for the future. If your TFTP server on Windows is setup correctly, the correct LAN port connected and the ECI binary image stored in the right folder then the transfer is initiated over Ethernet by typing

Code: [Select]

run update_openwrt into the terminal program connected to the ECI serial port. That runs a command you setup earlier.

Hope that helps,

Does anyone have the set-up to use this with BT TV/YouView which requires multicast? I have a router that works fine with BT TV/multicast using a standard HG612 modem but ECI with OpenWRT appears to need some tweaking before it'll work. 

[jsamuel]

It should work fine out of the box 

[phi2008]

Doesn't seem to work, tried a flash reset with no apparent effect - as I said the unlocked HG612 works OK. I've tried playing/faffing around with WRT and the best I can manage to do is sometimes get a garbled image on my BT/YouView box - my ethernet switch activity LEDs suggest multicast traffic is sometimes coming through the modem which gives cause for hope I suppose. My "OpenWRT-fu" is close to zero, and my knowledge of multicast IPTV is less than zero, so basically I don't have much of a clue. 

[hacktrix2006]

Hi all i am also now in this OpenWRT crew on the modem after spending nearly 3 hours trying to get a Serial connection on the board to which i ended up drilling the pads as direct heat or even a heated pin didn't melt the solder on the pads.

Now i have a question with the OpenWRT image stock settings can one fire up a PPPOE connection via a direct connection on the PC/Laptop like a normal BT VDSL router (For ASDL) with just making a new connection and dial via the PC/Laptop a PPPOE connection.

If not how does one make the modem act like the normal BT Firmware on OpenWRT.

Also whats the best way to connect via a the DSL-AC68U and its WAN port with the LAN2 port connected.

Whats the best Monitoring software as well for an OpenWRT'd ECI modem. Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry I don't have a clue how those YouView boxes work, perhaps someone else can chime in?
I found this: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/udp_multicast

hacktrix2006
I recommend setting up the modem to handle the PPP connection and not the PC.
Requires a change in /etc/config/network
