Installation
------------
1. Place *factory.trx on any web server (192.168.1.2 in this example)
2. Connect to the router using telnet shell (no password required)
3. Save MAC adresses to U-Boot environment:
   uboot_env --set --name eth2macaddr --value $(ifconfig | grep eth2 | \
    awk '{print $5}')
   uboot_env --set --name eth3macaddr --value $(ifconfig | grep eth3 | \
    awk '{print $5}')
   uboot_env --set --name ra0macaddr --value $(ifconfig | grep ra0 | \
    awk '{print $5}')
   uboot_env --set --name rax0macaddr --value $(ifconfig | grep rax0 | \
    awk '{print $5}')
4. Ensure that MACs were saved correctly:
   uboot_env --get --name eth2macaddr
   uboot_env --get --name eth3macaddr
   uboot_env --get --name ra0macaddr
   uboot_env --get --name rax0macaddr
5. Download and write the OpenWrt images:
   cd /tmp
   wget http://192.168.1.2/factory.trx
   mtd_write erase /dev/mtd4
   mtd_write write factory.trx /dev/mtd4
6. Set 1st boot partition and reboot:
   uboot_env --set --name bootpartition --value 0
   reboot

Back to Stock
-------------
1. Run in the OpenWrt shell:
   fw_setenv bootpartition 1
   reboot
2. Optional step. Upgrade the stock firmware with any version to
   overwrite the OpenWrt in Slot 1.

MAC addresses
-------------
+-----------+-------------------+----------------+
| Interface | MAC               | Source         |
+-----------+-------------------+----------------+
| label     | 30:xx:xx:51:xx:09 | No MACs was    |
| LAN       | 30:xx:xx:51:xx:09 | found on Flash |
| WAN       | 30:xx:xx:51:xx:06 | [1]            |
| WLAN_2g   | 30:xx:xx:51:xx:07 |                |
| WLAN_5g   | 32:xx:xx:41:xx:07 |                |
+-----------+-------------------+----------------+
[1]:
a. Label wasb't found neither in factory nor in other places.
b. MAC addresses are stored in encrypted partition "glbcfg". Encryption
   key hasn't known yet. To ensure the correct MACs in OpenWrt, a hack
   with saving of the MACs to u-boot-env during the installation was
   applied.
c. Default Ralink ethernet MAC address (00:0C:43:28:80:36) was found in
   "Factory" 0xfff0. It's the same for all Smartbox Flash devices. OEM
   firmware also uses this MAC when initialazes ethernet driver. In
   OpenWrt we use it only as internal GMAC (eth0), all other MACs are
   unique. Therefore, there is no any barriers to the operation of several
   Smartbox Flash devices even within the same broadcast domain.

OpenWrt logo

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

  1. Run ./scripts/feeds update -a to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

  2. Run ./scripts/feeds install -a to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/

  3. Run make menuconfig to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

  4. 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.

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.

  • LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.

  • OpenWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.

  • OpenWrt Routing: Packages specifically focused on (mesh) routing.

  • OpenWrt Video: Packages specifically focused on display servers and clients (Xorg and Wayland).
