Nokia IP130

Nokia IP130 is a a x86-based router and VPN appliance using the AMD Geode CPU with a CS5530A chipset

Pre-built images for the Nokia IP130 platform are available from http://ip130.cmalton.me.uk/releases/ DEAD LINK — tmomas 2019/10/14 17:28

They are based from trunk, and the openwrt tree, plus IP130 patches is stored in the repository at http://git.cmalton.me.uk/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openwrt.git;a=summary DEAD LINK — tmomas 2019/10/14 17:28

By default these builds have an 115200 8N1 console on /dev/ttyS0 (CONSOLE port), and eth0 is configured as br-lan with IP 192.168.1.1.

Queries about this build should be sent to chrism+openwrt@cmalton.me.uk

First, download the sources and update package feeds. Information here: http://kamikaze.openwrt.org/docs/openwrt.html#x1-400002.1

Select the following configuration options:

"Target system": x86
"Subtarget": Nokia IP130
"Target Profile": Generic

Only a squashfs grub image is needed to boot. For debugging purposes it's good to enable the .tar.gz root filesystem archive.

"Serial port device": ttyS0
"Serial port baud rate": 115200

Set the “Root filesystem partition size” accordingly to your HDD/flashcard size. Keep in mind, that the image will also contain a kernel partition with size “Kernel partition size”.

After the image is built dd it onto a CF card or hard disk.

The EEPROM checksum stored in Ethernet chips on the board seems to be broken and with a plain image the Ethernet ports are not activated with the following messages logged in dmesg:

e100: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Driver, 3.5.24-k2-NAPI
e100: Copyright(c) 1999-2006 Intel Corporation
e100 0000:00:0e.0: found PCI INT A -> IRQ 10
e100 0000:00:0e.0: (unregistered net_device): EEPROM corrupted

e100 0000:00:0f.0: found PCI INT A -> IRQ 11
e100 0000:00:0f.0: (unregistered net_device): EEPROM corrupted

e100 0000:00:10.0: found PCI INT A -> IRQ 10
e100 0000:00:10.0: (unregistered net_device): EEPROM corrupted
e100: probe of 0000:00:10.0 failed with error -11

To fix this you need to edit the /etc/modules.d/50-e100 file to enable a special module flag:

e100 eeprom_bad_csum_allow=1

After this is done the Ethernet ports will be activated after reboot:

You need to apply the patch below to add the “Nokia IP130” subtarget in x86. I want this patch to go into mainline and created a forum thread for it: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=30223
