v0.2.0-alpha — MM8108 firmware, batman-adv, Wi-Fi, wizard fix
Pre-release
Pre-release
Second image build of openwrt-morse-rpi5 (rpi5-mm-23.05 branch). Built 2026-04-26.
Still alpha — but materially expanded vs v0.1.0-alpha and corrects an inaccuracy in the prior release notes (onboard Wi-Fi was already included; that's now made explicit and verified).
New since v0.1.0-alpha
- MM8108 firmware (
morse-fw-8108) — Gateworks USB board now probes. - batman-adv layer-2 mesh —
kmod-batman-adv,batctl,luci-proto-batman-adv. Used by Haven mesh. - Pi 5 onboard 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi —
kmod-brcmfmac+ Cypress firmware made explicit in the diffconfig (was already auto-pulled in v0.1.0-alpha; previous notes were wrong to say it wasn't). - Panda Wireless USB dongle —
kmod-rt2800-usb+ firmware for Ralink RT5370. - Morse LuCI wizard fix —
umdnsincluded; the wizard's umdns ubus call no longer 403s. AGENTS.md— high-level repo orientation for new contributors / agents.
Working
- MM8108 over USB (HaLow board cabled to Pi 5 USB).
- LuCI web UI + Morse AP wizard, hostapd/wpa_supplicant S1G stack, 802.11s mesh, batman-adv, morse-cli/morse-bundle.
- Pi 5 onboard Wi-Fi available for configuration in LuCI (disabled by default — enable via Network → Wireless).
Not working / not yet included
- Seeed Studio HaLow HAT (MM6108) over SPI — overlay + RP1 SPI/DMA in place but the chip still doesn't bind.
- Bluetooth — kmods/firmware not enabled in this build.
- First-boot UCI defaults via
wizard-config— silently dropped becausepersistent-vars-storage-bcm2712doesn't exist yet. Run the LuCI AP wizard manually after first boot.
