CM4 IoT Router SKU:DFR0767 outdated kernel
Account cancelled 2021-07-13 00:24:01 1573 Views7 Replies I'd like to build a lightweight router from your IoT router board with a CM4. It seems the OpenWRT version you provided on the Wiki page of the product has a quite old kernel version. I tried to install OpenVPN server, for instance:
Details for package openvpn-openssl Version: 2.5.3-1 Size: ~231.3 KB installed Dependencies: kmod-tun (27.7 KB) NOT INSTALLED kernel VERSION INCOMPATIBLE libopenssl1.1 INSTALLED Description Open source VPN solution using OpenSSL The installed version of package kernel is not compatible, require 5.4.128-1-deb45357… while 5.4.108-1-79565365… is installed.
Details for package kmod-usb-net Version: 5.4.128-1 Size: ~15.4 KB installed Dependencies: kernel VERSION INCOMPATIBLE kmod-mii INSTALLED kmod-usb-core INSTALLED kmod-nls-base INSTALLED Description Kernel modules for USB-to-Ethernet convertors The installed version of package kernel is not compatible, require 5.4.128-1-deb45357… while 5.4.108-1-79565365… is installed.
Thanks,

Can someone confirm if this issue is why my new cm4 8gb emmc 1 gb ram with wireless will not boot, however my cm4 lite 1gb ram no-wireless boots and functions without issue on my DFR0767? Is there any workaround that does not involve a full manual openwrt install?
GregGeiger Update: It appears my previous message about this Kernel being incompatible with the most recent revision of the CM4 was incorrect. It's actually the bootloader which requires an update. Copying the DAT and ELF files from a newer boot partition to this image is enough to get it booting.
Alex.Oughton I wrote the previous prior to reading the entire thread. Replacing the .dat and .elf liles from 2022.03.0-rc5 does indeed allow my new cm4 to boot.
I'm looking forward to the update that was promised 7 months ago.
This issue has now escalated to an incompatibility with recently-manufactured Raspberry Pi compute modules. The image currently provided on this site will not boot on any CM4 which is of the most recent revision, with an “unsupported board type” error flash. I was able to get 22.03.0-rc5 from the official site to boot on my new CM4, but 21.02.3 both from this site and the official OpenWRT site would not boot.
I'm hoping there will be an update soon?
Alex.Oughton We know that R67 is outdated kernel. We will release updated kernel soon.

Can we expect updated kernel or repository with modules matching image kernel?
Or we are left here to compile our own distro?
