My research thus far has not yielded any solutions that work (e.g. remounting, mtd, etc…).
The only other solution that I haven’t tried yet is re-flashing the OpenWRT image on to the RPi’s eMMC. Before I crack the box and do that, I thought I would see if anyone might point out something obvious that I’ve missed.
Just got mine yesterday and have the same issue. I was going to reimage it also but thought I’d do the same thing you did and search first. Maybe I’ll wait a day and see if we get any replies.
Same for me on both counts, the file system was read-only, and I flashed their latest build, and it is working as intended. The only issue I am working through is that there is so much bloat on their custom-built. I don’t want or need asterisk, docker, or a NAS because I already have those. I was looking for a lightweight firewall.
I tried the stock CM4 build, but it lacks their custom driver for the second NIC. I am curious if they have a clean stock build.
Hi Seeed support folks… Surely having to take 15 steps to refresh the OS is not how this is supposed to work… Can you fix the image you pre-install so that /etc isn’t on a read-only file system? (This is still happening, and I just received my new mini-router via DHL today.)
I love Seeed Studio, but I didn’t expect to have to rebuild the router to make it work. You guys usually have a better user experience!
I have been unable to mount or re-flash. I jumper the pins and connect with USB-C, but only the /boot drive shows up. In the web gui, I uploaded a recommended image, and it seems to proceed, but still an R/O filesystem. Can someone tell me exactly what they connected? thanks.
