UniElec U7621-01 is a router platform board, the smaller model of the U7621-06. The device has the following specifications: - MT7621AT (880 MHz) - 256 of RAM (DDR3) - 16 MB of FLASH (SPI NOR) - 5x 1 Gbps Ethernet (MT7621 built-in switch) - 1x 2.4Ghz MT7603E - 1x 5Ghz MT7612 - 1x miniPCIe slots (PCIe bus only) - 1x miniSIM slot - 1x USB 2.0 (uses the usb 3.0 driver) - 8x LEDs (1x GPIO-controlled) - 1x reset button - 1x UART header (4-pins) - 1x GPIO header (30-pins) - 1x DC jack for main power (12 V) The following has been tested and is working: - Ethernet switch - 1x 2.4Ghz MT7603E (wifi) - 1x 5Ghz MT7612 (wifi) - miniPCIe slots (tested with Wi-Fi cards and LTE modem cards) - miniSIM slot (works with normal size simcard) - sysupgrade - reset button Installation: This board has no locked down bootloader. The seller can be asked to install openwrt v18.06, so upgrades are standard sysupgrade method. Recovery: This board contains a Chinese, closed-source bootloader called Breed (Boot and Recovery Environment for Embedded Devices). Breed supports web recovery and to enter it, you keep the reset button pressed for around 5 seconds during boot. Your machine will be assigned an IP through DHCP and the router will use IP address 192.168.1.1. The recovery website is in Chinese, but is easy to use. Click on the second item in the list to access the recovery page, then the second item on the next page is where you select the firmware. In order to start the recovery, you click the button at the bottom. LEDs list (left to right): - ESW_P0_LED_0 - ESW_P1_LED_0 - ESW_P2_LED_0 - ESW_P3_LED_0 - ESW_P4_LED_0 - CTS2_N (GPIO10, configured as "status" LED) - LED_WLAN# (connected with pin 44 in wifi1 slot) Signed-off-by: David Bentham <db260179@gmail.com> [add DEVICE_VARIANT, fix DEVICE_PACKAGES, remove &gpio] Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler <freifunk@adrianschmutzler.de>
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 -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.
