This commit adds OpenWrt U-Boot layout support for Routerich AX3000. The aims: 1. Get open-source U-Boot; 2. Get maximum available free space in OpenWrt. Install ------- 1. Copy OpenWrt ubootmod-bl31-uboot.fip, ubootmod-preloader.bin, to the /tmp folder of the router using scp. 2. Make mtd partitions backups: http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/system/flash -> Save mtdblock contents 3. Install kmod-mtd-rw: ``` opkg update && opkg install kmod-mtd-rw ``` 4. Write FIP and preloader: ``` insmod mtd-rw i_want_a_brick=1 mtd unlock BL2 mtd erase BL2 mtd write /tmp/ubootmod-preloader.bin BL2 mtd unlock FIP mtd erase FIP mtd write /tmp/ubootmod-bl31-uboot.fip FIP ``` 5. Copy OpenWrt ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb to the tftp server root with IP 192.168.1.254. 6. Reboot router: ``` reboot ``` U-Boot will automatically download from the tftp server and boot OpenWrt initramfs system. 7. Copy OpenWrt ubootmod-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb to the /tmp dir of the router using scp. 8. Run sysupgrade: ``` sysupgrade -n /tmp/squashfs-sysupgrade.itb ``` Recovery -------- 1. Place OpenWrt initramfs-recovery.itb image (with original name) on the tftp server (IP: 192.168.1.254). 2. Press "reset" button and power on the router. After ~10 sec release the button. 3. Use OpenWrt initramfs system for recovery. BL2 and FIP recovery -------------------- Use mtk_uartboot and UART connection if BL2 or FIP in UBI is destroyed: Link: https://github.com/981213/mtk_uartboot Return to stock: ---------------- 1. Copy partition backups (BL2.bin and FIP.bin) to the /tmp dir of the router using scp. 2. Install kmod-mtd-rw: ``` opkg update && opkg install kmod-mtd-rw ``` 3. Restore stock U-Boot and reboot: ``` insmod mtd-rw i_want_a_brick=1 mtd unlock BL2 mtd erase BL2 mtd write /tmp/BL2.bin BL2 mtd unlock FIP mtd erase FIP mtd write /tmp/FIP.bin FIP reboot ``` 4. Open U-Boot web recovery, upload stock firmware image and start upgrade.

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!
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 macOS 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 python3.7+ 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.
