Define "Device/seama-lzma-loader" recipe for SEAMA devices to help
contributors avoid doing recipe mistakes.
In a forum topic [0] I was under the impression that the good old
uimage-lzma-loader didn't fix the LZMA ERROR 1 for a device.
It was found out, that the uimage-lzma-loader never worked because the
KERNEL variable was overriden earlier (also an LZMA ERROR 1 related
commit, 6fba88de1913), and the "use lzma-loader" fix (commit
09faa73c53bd) didn't catch that to include the "loader-kernel" part.
I contributed an LZMA ERROR 1 fix (commit ce1957100411) for the SEAMA
device D-Link DIR-860L B1, where I had to duplicate the whole
uimage-lzma-loader recipe because of the special needs of the vendor
bootloader.
This new recipe reuse most of uimage-lzma-loader's KERNEL definiton to
avoid duplication.
It uses "relocate-kernel" as it needed for D-Link DIR-860L B1 to
boot from flash, and it's compatible with D-Link DIR-645 too.
It repacks lzma-loader with lzma for kernel (without uImage), because
these weird hacked vendor bootloaders accepts only LZMA compressed
kernels from flash:
We have SEAMA, Image Size = 4759794
Verifying Checksum ...
Uncompressing SEAMA linux.lzma ... OK
It uses uImage header for initramfs kernel to be little bit verbose.

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.

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.
