Update busybox to version 1.36.0 * refresh patches (remove the backported upstream fix) * refresh config Config refresh: Refresh commands, run after busybox is first built once: cd package/utils/busybox/config/ ../convert_menuconfig.pl ../../../../build_dir/target-arm_cortex-a15+neon-vfpv4_musl_eabi/busybox-default/busybox-1.36.0 cd .. ./convert_defaults.pl ../../../build_dir/target-arm_cortex-a15+neon-vfpv4_musl_eabi/busybox-default/busybox-1.36.0/.config > Config-defaults.in Manual edits needed after config refresh: * Config-defaults.in: OpenWrt config symbol IPV6 logic applied to BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_IPV6 * Config-defaults.in: OpenWrt config TARGET_bcm53xx logic applied to BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_TRUNCATE (commit 547f1ec) * Config-defaults.in: OpenWrt logic applied to BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_LOGIN_SESSION_AS_CHILD (commit dc92917) * Config-defaults.in: correct the default ports that get reset BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_HTTPD_PORT_DEFAULT 80 BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_TELNETD_PORT_DEFAULT 23 * config/editors/Config.in: Add USE_GLIBC dependency to BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_VI_REGEX_SEARCH (commit f141090) * config/shell/Config.in: change at "Options common to all shells" the conditional symbol SHELL_ASH --> BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SHELL_ASH (discussion in http://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2021-January/033140.html Apparently our script does not see the hidden option while prepending config options with "BUSYBOX_CONFIG_" which leads to a missed dependency when the options are later evaluated.) * Edit a few Config.in files by adding quotes to sourced items in config/Config.in, config/networking/Config.in and config/util-linux/Config.in (commit 1da014f) Signed-off-by: Hannu Nyman <hannu.nyman@iki.fi>
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.

Download
Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.
If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.
An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:
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.
