Not all targets create /var/lock or touch /var/lock/fw_printenv.lock in their platform.sh. This is problematic as fw_printenv then fails in case /var/lock/fw_printenv.lock has not been created by previous calls to fw_printenv/fw_setenv before sysupgrade is run. Targets using fw_printenv/fw_setenv during sysupgrade: * ath79/* * ipq40xx/* * ipq806x/* * kirkwood/* * layerscape/* * mediatek/mt7622 * mvebu/* * ramips/* * realtek/* Targets currently using additional steps in /lib/upgrade/platform.sh to make sure /var/lock/fw_printenv.lock (or at least /var/lock) actually exists: * ath79/* (openmesh devices) * ipq40xx/* (linksys devices) * ipq806x/* (linksys devices) * kirkwood/* (linksys devices) * layerscape/* * mvebu/cortexa9 (linksys devices) Given that accessing the U-Boot environment during sysupgrade is not uncommon and the situation across targets is currently quite diverse, just make sure both tools as well fw_env.config are always copied to the ramdisk used for sysupgrade. Also make sure /var/lock always exists. This now allows to remove copying of fw_printenv/fw_setenv as well as fw_env.config, creation of /var/lock or even /var/lock/fw_printenv.lock from lib/upgrade/platform.sh or files included there. As the same applies also to 'fwtool' which is used by generic eMMC sysupgrade, also always copy that to ramdisk. Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org> |

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.
binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.6+ rsync subversion unzip which
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -a
to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -a
to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfig
to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
make
to 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.
Related Repositories
The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of
different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package
manager called opkg
. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port
packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
