SOC: IPQ4018 / QCA Dakota CPU: Quad-Core ARMv7 Processor rev 5 (v71) Cortex-A7 DRAM: 256 MiB NOR: 32 MiB ETH: Qualcomm Atheros QCA8075 (2 ports) PLC: MaxLinear G.hn 88LX5152 WLAN1: Qualcomm Atheros QCA4018 2.4GHz 802.11bgn 2:2x2 WLAN2: Qualcomm Atheros QCA4018 5GHz 802.11a/n/ac 2:2x2 INPUT: RESET, WiFi, PLC Button LEDS: red/white home, white WiFi To modify a retail device to run OpenWRT firmware: 1) Setup a TFTP server on IP address 192.168.0.100 and copy the OpenWRT initramfs (initramfs-fit-uImage.itb) to the TFTP root as 'uploadfile'. 2) Power on the device while pressing the recessed reset button next to the Ethernet ports. This causes the bootloader to retrieve and start the initramfs. 3) Once the initramfs is booted, the device will come up with IP 192.168.1.1. You can then connect through SSH (allow some time for the first connection). 4) On the device shell, run 'fw_printenv' to show the U-boot environment. Backup this information since it contains device unique factory data. 5) Change the boot command to support booting OpenWRT: # fw_setenv bootcmd 'sf probe && sf read 0x84000000 0x180000 0x400000 && bootm' 6) Change directory to /tmp, download the sysupgrade (e.g. through wget) and install it with sysupgrade. The device will reboot into OpenWRT. Notice that there is currently no support for booting the G.hn chip. This requires userland software we lack the rights to share right now.

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
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.
