1) Serial port.
I see in /boot/grub.cfg that the default is set to 38400 for the serial port speed. The default for the BIOS for this device is 115200, so when connecting to the serial port I get a line of non-ascii characters after the BIOS.
After changing the speed values from 38400 to 115200, I can now see the boot messages in the serial port.
I'm curious as to whether other x86 devices use 38400 by default?
2) Wireless drivers.
Since x86/64 doesn't include any wireless drivers in the base image, I'd like to be able to load them. I see that the drivers are in
Code: Select all
src/gz openwrt_core http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07-SNAPSHOT/targets
/x86/64/packages
Code: Select all
src/gz gargoyle_kernel_specific http://www.gargoyle-router.com/packages/gargoyle
-1.13.0/x86/x64_kernelspecific
3) Default interfaces
This applies to the default OpenWRT as well. WAN by default is eth1, but by convention for this hardware should be eth0. LAN should be eth1 and eth2. I probably haven't looked hard enough at the web interface on how to reset that, but it's easy enough to edit /etc/config/network from the serial console.
Anyway, thank you for reading my block of text here and thank you for any help you can provide on adding wireless drivers.
