MikroTik RB951G-2HnD is a wireless SOHO router that was previously
supported by the ar71xx target, see commit 7a709573d7 ("ar71xx: add
kernel support for the Mikrotik RB951G board").
Specifications
--------------
- SoC: Atheros AR9344 (600 MHz)
- RAM: 128 MB (2x 64 MB)
- Storage: 128 MB NAND flash (various manufacturers)
- Ethernet: Atheros AR8327 switch, 5x 10/100/1000 Mbit/s
- 1x PoE in (port 1, 8-30 V input)
- Wireless: Atheros AR9340 (802.11b/g/n)
- USB: 2.0 (1A)
- 8x LED:
- 1x power (green, not configurable)
- 1x user (green, not configurable)
- 5x GE ports (green, not configurable)
- 1x wireless (green, not configurable)
- 1x button (restart)
Unlike on the RB951Ui-2HnD, none of the LEDs on this device seem to be
GPIO-controllable, which was also the case for older OpenWRT versions
that supported this board via a mach file. The Ethernet port LEDs are
controlled by the switch chip.
See https://mikrotik.com/product/RB951G-2HnD for more details.
Flashing
--------
TFTP boot initramfs image and then perform sysupgrade. Follow
common MikroTik procedures at https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/common.

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

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.
