[ KernelModules ] Kernel module USB drivers

[outkastm]

Yes, a TOS6 version will be available

[BravoCharlie]

I'm hyped . I just installed TOS6 and wanted to start Home Assistant in docker. But then thought about the Zigbee usb:) which does not work out of the box.

Are there any other short-term fixes to get it running?

Not that I'm aware of. I'm on the same boat, waiting for a TOS6 version of the modules to land

[outkastm]

TOS6 version is available.
TOS6 should be updated to at least 6.0.650 (kernel version 6.1.120)

Hi,
I’ve found a problem in the /etc/init.d/KernelModules script provided by the KernelModules package for TOS6 (tested on an F4-424 Pro). The script contains errors that prevent drivers from loading automatically at system startup.
In my case, the cp210x driver only loads if I run the following manually:

Code: Select all

/sbin/modprobe cp210x

Even with the "Enable autostart" option activated, the script silently fails during boot. In the system log (/var/log/messages), I see errors like:

Code: Select all

TNAS KernelModules[8455]: /etc/init.d/KernelModules: line 22: cd: /usr/local/KernelModules/sysroot/lib/modules/6.1.120+/additional: No such file or directory
TNAS KernelModules[8455]: /etc/init.d/KernelModules: line 49: [: too many arguments
TNAS KernelModules[8455]: /etc/init.d/KernelModules: line 49: [: ###class: binary operator expected

The driver file cp210x.ko exists at:

Code: Select all

/Volume2/@apps/KernelModules/sys/drivers/cp210x.ko

But the script doesn’t copy the files to /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/additional or load the module as expected.

Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you!

I was able to fix the above startup errors:

1. During the App installation it is created the folder: /Volume2/@apps/KernelModules/sysroot/lib/modules/6.1.120+/addtional/
   Note the typo, it is missing an 'i' in additional. Renaming the folder solves the first error.
2. In the script /Volume2/@apps/KernelModules/init.d/service, line 49: if [ ! -z $mod ];then
   Thanks to ChatGPT I changed it to: if [ ! -z "$mod" ];then and the following errors disappeared.

After fixing these, the script runs without errors at boot. However, the cp210x driver (for the Sonoff ZBDongle-E) still doesn’t load automatically.
The driver does work correctly if I do any of the following:

• Manually launch the KernelModules app via the TOS GUI;
• Physically unplug and replug the ZBDongle-E;
• Run this manually:

  Code: Select all

  /sbin/modprobe cp210x

I tried this line in /etc/crontab (since crontab -e is wiped at boot):

Code: Select all

@reboot root sleep 60 && /sbin/modprobe cp210x

…but it didn’t work.

syslog:

Code: Select all

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

I will have a look on the startup script

[outkastm]

Try the latest version

[johnny2]

Try the latest version

Now the cp210x.ko driver is available at boot, but usbserial.ko is not:

Code: Select all

May 31 23:50:49 TNAS systemd-udevd[844]: ctx=0x55b31b95d000 path=/lib/modules/6.1.120+/additional/usbserial.ko error=No such file or directory
May 31 23:50:49 TNAS kernel: [   50.675527] cp210x: Unknown symbol usb_serial_generic_open (err -2)
(...)
May 31 23:50:49 TNAS kernel: [   50.675554] cp210x: Unknown symbol usb_serial_register_drivers (err -2)

The folder "/usr/lib/modules/6.1.120+/additional/" contains two files: the cp210x.ko and a symlink to usbserial.ko.
The error I mentioned earlier — "TNAS KernelModules[9727]: /etc/init.d/KernelModules: line 57: [: too many arguments" still appears.

For now, I found a workaround: manually copy the driver files and run depmod.

For the error in the script, you might have an issue in the config list. Try to remove the list and enable again the driver you want by only removing the "#" in front of the driver line
