Use a similar upgrade method for sysupgrade.bin, like factory.bin, for Senao boards with the tar.gz OEM upgrade platform, and 'failsafe' image which is loaded on checksum failure. This is inspired by the OEM upgrade script /etc/fwupgrade.sh and the existing platforms for dual-boot Senao boards. Previously, if the real kernel was damaged or missing the only way to recover was with UART serial console, because the OKLI lzma-loader is programmed to halt. uboot did not detect cases where kernel or rootfs is damaged and boots OKLI instead of the failsafe image, because the checksums stored in uboot environment did not include the real kernel and rootfs space. Now, the stored checksums include the space for both the lzma-loader, kernel, and rootfs. Therefore, these boards are now practically unbrickable. Also, the factory.bin and sysupgrade.bin are now the same, except for image metadata. This allows for flashing OEM image directly from openwrt as well as flashing openwrt image directly from OEM. Make 'loader' partition writable so that it can be updated during a sysupgrade. tested with ENS202EXT v1 EAP1200H EAP350 v1 EAP600 ECB350 v1 ECB600 ENH202 v1 Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt <mcpratt@pm.me> Signed-off-by: maurerr <mariusd84@gmail.com>
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.
