Re: DIR-825 B1 USB support ?

Post by Lantis »

Again, you're not on 1.9.x, you're on 1.9.1.

The default partition size is not large enough to fit the modules required for USB. We do produce "fat" images that rearrange some of the flash space to fit more in.
Please read the implications of using a "fat" image here:
https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/d-link/dir-825#fat_images

Here is a thread on another success story using these fat images. I would probably follow this methodology.
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5232

If you would like to go ahead, noting that i take zero responsibility for any problems that might occur due to the flashing process, you can find the 1.9.x normal Factory image and the FAT sysupgrade images at http://lantisproject.com/gargoyle_ispyi ... 17/ar71xx/

1.9.x Factory

Re: DIR-825 B1 USB support ?

Post by jenom »

thanks for your reply
however, I am getting confused now
this is my (and wikipedia) understanding of using "x"
it means that "x" could be any anything: 0, 1, A, B, etc....


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X......Mathematics

In mathematics, x is commonly used as the name for an independent variable or unknown value. The modern tradition of using x to represent an unknown was introduced by René Descartes in La Géométrie (1637).[5] As a result of its use in algebra, X is often used to represent unknowns in other circumstances (e.g. X-rays, Generation X, The X-Files, and The Man from Planet X; see also Malcolm X).


when I go to on "Gargoyle-router.com" and " Download", "Select your download".....there is 1.9 (experimental), then below v1.9.0 and v1.9.1 listed.......no "x"

What is the difference in the mentioned 1.9.x vs 1.9.0/1.9.1?
Why 1.9.x not in the "Download ?
Is there enough space for USB plugin in a FAT version of 1.9.0 or 1.9.1 or 1.9.x ?

The definition of "x" is correct, but used differently here. There are releases (1.8.0, 1.8.1, 1.9.0, 1.9.1) and daily builds (currently 1.9.x) where the "x" remains the same, the "1.9." denotes the major version and the minor version is identified by the build date. The daily builds are not accessible from the "normal" downloads page, but through links here in the forum.

The "Show / Tell / Contribute" sub-forum contains the associated threads, for the currently latest build look at gargoyle-ispy 2017-January-27 10:21.torrent. The first post contains the magnet for the torrent (350MB archive with all the builds for all models), somewhere later is a link to individual files hosted by Lantis.

I've got the version 1.9.x built January 27th, 2017 running on the main Router (TP-Link Archer C7), without major problems. Some minor GUI glitches, some user errors, but nothing critical. It's been running stable since it came out.

Ektus.

thank you for the detailed explanation of "x" versions
1.9.1 experimental sounded like the "development" version
well, experimental maybe meant "unstable" ?
so it is basically a "trunk" or "snapshot" development version of Gargoyle
In my opinion, it would make more sense to access to "x" versions, have a section on the main download menu, to make it easy to find.

Yes they are development versions.
They are not created by anyone associated with the website and hence can't be hosted on there. They are all available by torrent, and the last 3 available on my website.

They are an opportunity to bug test and see new features.

Because the dev line is usually the only one with features and bugs being worked on, in a space of 6 months it usually becomes better and more stable than its parent stable release.

I don't know if it has enough space. But it is built with USB support, and the image produced meaning that it didn't fail due to oversize, so it's up to you whether you try it.
There is currently no other solution than trying this firmware. And as such I am considering it resolved at this stage.

well, I tried it
here is the result

USB Storage Support for Gargoyle

Version: 1.9.1-1
Status: Not Installed
Required Disk Space: 30.236 MBytes
Package Cannot Be Installed (Insufficient Disk Space)


WiFi scheduling for Gargoyle

Version: 1.1.2-2
Status: Not Installed
Required Disk Space: 11.317 MBytes
Package Cannot Be Installed (Insufficient Disk Space)


English-EN language strings for Gargoyle web interface

Version: 1.0.0-1
Status: Not Installed
Required Disk Space: 11.334 MBytes
Package Cannot Be Installed (Insufficient Disk Space)


looks like the "plugins" are totally screwed up regarding needed space
hopefully, it will get fixed one day

You're confirming you used the "fat" 1.9.x image from my website?
If so, I apologise but I'm not going to be able to fix it without a device to test with.

did a clean install , went back to D-link original
installed 1.9.x factory
sysupgrade -i fat failed with error message about not finding caldata partition
confirmed with cat /proc/mtd that caldata partitions was "really" there
got tired fighting with OpenWrt+FAT+Gargoyle plugins, went back to D-Link original and installed the latest beta 02.02.17 DDWRT for this model, now USB storage works, samba server is up and files on USB are available through a local WIFI network
