Takimata reported on the OpenWrt forum in thread [0], that his MyBook Live Duo wasn't booting OpenWrt 21.02 after upgrading from the previous OpenWrt 19.07. The last logged entries on his console |[ 0.531599] sata1-regulator GPIO handle specifies active low - ignored |[ 0.538391] sata0-regulator GPIO handle specifies active low - ignored |[ 0.759791] ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) |[ 0.765251] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) |[ 5.909555] ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xec) |[ 5.913656] ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4) |[ 6.231757] ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) This extract clearly showed that the HDD on which OpenWrt is installed, simply disappeared after the SATA power regulators had been initialized. Since the device-tree regulators haven't changed since the OpenWrt 19.07 days this will require further investigation on the snapshot/master/trunk branch. For the time being, it was requested to just delete the nodes so, the device will boot again. Which unfortunately, will have to wait until 21.02.1 is released. He also confirmed that the My Book Live Single wasn't affected. It works with or without this change.

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.
Sunshine!
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
gcc binutils bzip2 flex python3 perl make find grep diff unzip gawk getopt
subversion libz-dev libc-dev rsync which
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
maketo build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
