The new u-boot version bundled with the 5.6.x firmwares from Ubiquiti gets confused by the smaller rootfs partition size; this can lead to various issues: 1. We've gotten reports that flashing from the 5.6.x stock firmware to OpenWrt will brick devices; I wasn't able to reproduce this myself 2. Flashing from 5.5.x stock firmware to OpenWrt and back to stock (via TFTP recovery), following by an update to 5.6.x via web interface can yield a bricked device with the following properties: - It can't be booted without entering commands over a serial console, as u-boot supplies the wrong MTD layout - The web interface won't accept any image with the original flash layout, so stock firmware upgrades are impossible - As the TFTP recovery doesn't update u-boot, returning to the old u-boot from firmware 5.5.x is impossible To recover from 2., creating an OpenWrt image which doesn't set u-boot as read-only and flashing a backup of the old u-boot from there is the only way known to me. (Fixing the mtdparts variable in u-boot-env from OpenWrt might also work; settings this from u-boot over serial didn't have any permanent effect.) Fix all of this by setting the correct flash layout also used by the stock firmware. Flashing has been tested from both firmware 5.5.x and 5.6.x. The fixed layout also matches the mtdparts defined by OpenWrt. Signed-off-by: Matthias Schiffer <mschiffer@universe-factory.net> SVN-Revision: 48829 |

This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution. Please use "make menuconfig" to configure your appreciated configuration for the toolchain and firmware. You need to have installed gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make, find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers. Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into package/feeds/. Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image. Simply running "make" will build your firmware. It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain, the kernel and all choosen applications. You can use "scripts/flashing/flash.sh" for remotely updating your embedded system via tftp. The OpenWrt system is documented in docs/. You will need a LaTeX distribution and the tex4ht package to build the documentation. Type "make -C docs/" to build it. To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system. Sunshine! Your OpenWrt Project http://openwrt.org
