Accessing the console on many devices is difficult.
netconsole eases debugging on devices that crash
after the network is up.
Reference to the netconsole documentation in upstream Linux:
<https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/netconsole.html>
|
|netconsole=[+][src-port]@[src-ip]/[<dev>],[tgt-port]@<tgt-ip>/[tgt-macaddr]
|
| where
| + if present, enable extended console support
| src-port source for UDP packets (defaults to 6665)
| src-ip source IP to use (interface address)
| dev network interface (eth0)
| tgt-port port for logging agent (6666)
| tgt-ip IP address for logging agent
| tgt-macaddr ethernet MAC address for logging agent (broadcast)
OpenWrt specific notes:
OpenWrt's device userspace scripts are attaching the network
interface (i.e. eth0) to a (virtual) bridge (br-lan) device.
This will cause netconsole to report:
|network logging stopped on interface eth0 as it is joining a master device
(and unfortunately the traffic/logs to stop at this point)
As a workaround, the netconsole module can be manually loaded
again after the bridge has been setup with:
insmod netconsole netconsole=@/br-lan,@192.168.1.x/MA:C...
One way of catching errors before the handoff, try to
append the /etc/modules.conf file with the following extra line:
options netconsole netconsole=@/eth0,@192.168.1.x/MA:C...
and install the kmod-netconsole (=y) into the base image.

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.
