ath25 requires a 88E6060 driver to support boards such as Fonera 2.0g (FON2202). The swconfig based mvswitch driver has not yet been ported to the 5.10 kernel as the only user is the ath25 target while all other targets have been switched to the upstream DSA implementation. Switching ath25 to the DSA implementation is a complex task, since we need either per-board platform data or DTS support. ath25 lacks both of them and builds only a single generic image. So we need to keep the swconfig driver implementation to easly and quickly port ath25 to the 5.10 kernel. Since porting the mvswitch driver to 5.10 as a generic driver is not an option, and since the ath25 is its only user, make mvswitch a target specific driver to be able to port it to the 5.10 kernel as part of the kernel version update of the target. This will allow us quickly migrate to the next kernel version and not delay the next firmware release.

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 -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.
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.
