Interesting development and I'm not sure how/where to attribute this (I'm still testing).

I was having issues loading an image and the system would not pickup a DHCP address on eth0. We've seen this issue in the past and were never able to track it down. After blowing the Shield up to the point I am having to TFTP a rescue image, I noticed I have any issues with the network port IN THE FIRMWARE.. Eh, this is new?

I've tracked it down to the following: If the Shield is booted with a cable plugged into Eth1, the ports will never work. If you unplug the Eth1 cable (Eth0/Eth2 seem fine) it boots fine. It's either a CABLE issue or a FIRMWARE issue. I'm testing the cable as soon as I can, but I wonder if anyone wants to try and confirm this on their device? Simply put, cold-boot with a cable not plugged into Eth1, make sure it works.. Plug eth1 in, reboot.. If this works as a bug, eth0 will NOT have an IP address. If so, unplug, reboot and see if the IP on eth0 comes back up.

Just as a FYI if you get issues with picking up a DHCP address, try that :)

Wonder if it's a hardware issue on my device then? No idea. Thanks for checking!

Re: Suricata on the Shield

Sounds like the issue I was getting on my shields for a while, if I recall we though it was a thermal issue, not sure if it was or not though. l have stopped using them now and to be honest The fw is a mess on both devices so can really help to test

You could fix that 😂. Actually, I'm at the point I've got Rust lang working, Suricata and Snort3 working, I'm about finished I think.

Update on the Shield

Administrator

Hey anyone who still receives reply notifications! :)

I'm calling a halt to base OpenWrt development for the Shield. The only reason I had a separate repo for OpenWrt source was to maintain the Bridge and Gateway modes, and to test to see if setting the Kernel arch to Octeon3 vs Octeonplus produced any increase in performance.

It did not increase performance, and frankly, if anyone NEEDS the other slots, they can hit me up.

The device is officially supported by OpenWrt now. It already receives "Snapshot" images builds in the development branch and will receive "Official" images when the next major release (20/21.xx) drops.

What does this mean to you?

First, you should move to the Snapshot images if you already haven't. This includes folks who are on my development images. I do NOT know if running the sysupgrade file will update the system or not. Since the arch is different (Octeon3 vs Octeonplus), it may not.

If it does NOT allow a direct upgrade, all you need to do is download the itus_shield-router-initramfs-kernel.bin and put in /dev/mmcblk1p1 as ItusrouterImage, reboot, then run the upgrade.

Please be aware that, by default, LuCI is NOT installed.. Once you install and run the sysupgrade, you can use opkg to install LuCI. The ability to use opkg is one of the advantages of using the SnapShot builds.

If you need any HELP with this, please let me know.

Re: Update on the Shield

Hey @Grommish

Got the latest official stable v21.03.3 loaded and you mentioned earlier that software & hardware flow offloading should be enabled. Software offloading is not default checked and the hardware one isn't available in LuCI.

Do you still recommend both of these be on?

Also, it appears the memory leak is fixed according to your discussion on this OpenWrt thread: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/upstream-kernel-memleak-5-10-octeon-ethernet-ko/111827/44

So would it be ok to upgrade to the next stable v22.03 when released?

Again, nice work! Cheers!
