kmod-mtd-rw

Hi,

I was looking for the kmod-mtd-rw ipk file associated with ath71xx  generic v3.19.3 and I can't see it listed on downloads.arednmesh.org 

I have looked hard and I apologise if I have missed it but I feel sure that it isn't there. I can see other optional  kernel modules but not this one.

The reason I am looking is that I want to make the ART partition writeable on several CPE210s in order to restore an ART backup.

We have a sizeable network in the Edinburgh and Fife area,  primarily for the purpose of emcomms and would just like to take the opportunity to say thanks for all the hard work by the dev team.

The only way I can write a backup of the ART partition back to the router appears to be via uboot but we were hoping not to have to open them all up and hardwire a terminal.  Is the kmod-mtd-rw ipk available ?  Or is there a ready built image that I could use temporarily that has this module included ?

Thanks

we don't build that module.  
we don't build that module.   You can probably use the one directly from OpenWrt 19.07.2.
(you may need to remove the "signatures" line from the /etc/opkg.conf file first)

No - fails to insert module
No - fails to insert module even after forcing an install.

But a solution has now  occurred to me - I will install a vanilla openwrt , add the kmod-mtd-rw module, make the changes to the flash chip then install Aredn again.

Thanks and 73
