Hi @sankarganesh
The driver is reporting that ieee80211_alloc_hw is failing. This will either be because there is not enough memory, or because the driver thinks a function op doesn’t need to be implemented - which could happen if you are using a backported mac80211.
Can you specify your kernel and mac80211 versions? If they are different, specify the mac80211 version in the build of the driver using by setting CONFIG_BACKPORT_VERSION.
Hi @ajudge ,
I am using generic Openwrt 23.05.4. Here is the details you needed,

Please specify CONFIG_BACKPORT_VERSION=6.1.97 in your driver build.

Can you share the command you are using to build the Morse Micro driver?
Just giving “make V=sc”
Also tried using > ./scripts/morse_setup.sh -i -b ekh_XXX before running make
target_diffconfig
CONFIG_TARGET_mediatek=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_morsectrl=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-morse=y
Could you please share any specific steps to integrate mm6108 and build on the generic OpenWrt 23.05.4?
Target: Mediatek Filogic (MT7981)

Hi @sankarganesh
I’m a bit confused. Originally I thought you were using generic OpenWrt 23.05, but ./scripts/morse_setup.sh -i -b ekh_XXX suggests you’re using our OpenWrt fork. Can you confirm exactly which OpenWrt you are using.
If you have integrated our driver into generic OpenWrt, how have you done that?
I would recommend grabbing our “minimal” feed, and following the instructions in the README. Find the minimal feed here: GitHub - MorseMicro/morse-feed at mm/openwrt-23.05
I tried both.
Using your openwrt source: GitHub - MorseMicro/openwrt
Let me try the minimal feed version you suggested, and let you know

In between the logs, there is a GPIO error. Also, we didn’t see any interfaces created for Morse, only phy we can able to see.
Could you help me with a sample UCI wireless configuration file?
Hi @sankarganesh , if you’re using the netifd-morse package it should have installed a hotplug script which creates config in /etc/config/wireless to bring up wlan0. See the README in GitHub - MorseMicro/morse-feed at mm/openwrt-23.05 for more info.
Can you share what’s in your /etc/config/wireless currently?
(note that if there’s nothing in /etc/config/wireless, it’s expected that wlan0 does not exist, as there’s a hotplug script which removes the auto-created one to avoid it interfering with bring-up)
Hi @james.haggerty ,
root@OpenWrt:/# iwinfo
But SSID is not broadcasting. We do have another working Halow device, but while scanning, we are not able to detect the SSID.
Also, i would like to get some details about bcf file.
HI @james.haggerty ,
Can you show your /etc/config/wireless file so we can confirm it is correctly configured?
The most likely issue is that you’re loading bcf_default.bin (which disables things) rather than the correct BCF for your module. This is available from: morse-firmware/bcf/quectel at main · MorseMicro/morse-firmware · GitHub
Re morse_cli, commands are a subset of morse-ctrl: https://www.morsemicro.com/resources/appnotes/MM_APPNOTE-13_Morsectrl_Guide.pdf
However, you should not need to use morse_cli in normal bring-up.
HI @james.haggerty ,
root@OpenWrt:/# cat /etc/config/wireless
config wifi-device ‘radio0’
config wifi-iface ‘default_radio0’
As you mentioned, I am using bcf_default,bin
Please find the issue we are facing when changing the bcf file
[ 7918.985262] morse micro driver registration. Version 0-rel_1_14_1_2024_Dec_05
HI @james.haggerty ,
I think you may have incorrectly copied that BCF file, as it’s 181819 bytes (whereas it should be less than 1kb). Is it possible you downloaded the github HTML or similar?
