Default IP address is 192.168.1.20 and default username and password are "ubnt". SSH to the device and write the bootselect flag to ensure it is booting from the mtd partition the OpenWrt image will be written to. Verify the output device below matches mtd partition "bootselect" using /proc/mtd. > dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=1 seek=7 conv=notrunc of=/dev/mtd11 Write the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the mtd partition labeled "kernel0". Also verify the used partition device using /proc/mtd. > dd if=/tmp/sysupgrade.bin of=/dev/mtdblock12 Reboot the device. Back to stock ------------- Use the TFTP recovery procedure with the Ubiquiti firmware image to restore the vendor firmware. Signed-off-by: Jan Alexander <jan@nalx.net>
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.
