This was build tested with all core packages on all targets successfully. Most packages from the feed are also building fine. This was run tested on the following systems: * lantiq/xrx200 musl * pistachio/generic musl * sunxi/cortexa53 musl * x86/64 musl * x86/64 glibc * armvirt/64 musl The size of the images stays more or less the same for MIPS BE and aarch64. I haven't tested other architectures. With GCC 11 I got these sizes for lantiq/xrx200: 7,219,848 openwrt-lantiq-xrx200-tplink_tdw8970-initramfs-kernel.bin 7,472,208 openwrt-lantiq-xrx200-tplink_tdw8970-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin With GCC 12 I got these sizes for lantiq/xrx200: 7,217,355 openwrt-lantiq-xrx200-tplink_tdw8970-initramfs-kernel.bin 7,406,674 openwrt-lantiq-xrx200-tplink_tdw8970-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin The sysupgrade image is probably padded. The initramfs image is 0.03% smaller. With GCC 11 I got these sizes for armvirt/64: 4,143,943 openwrt-armvirt-64-default-rootfs.tar.gz 10,887,176 openwrt-armvirt-64-Image 24,911,880 openwrt-armvirt-64-Image-initramfs 4,141,572 openwrt-armvirt-64-rootfs.cpio.gz 4,255,854 openwrt-armvirt-64-rootfs-ext4.img.gz 3,391,178 openwrt-armvirt-64-rootfs-squashfs.img.gz With GCC 12 I got these sizes for armvirt/64: 4,142,778 openwrt-armvirt-64-default-rootfs.tar.gz 10,887,176 openwrt-armvirt-64-Image 24,911,880 openwrt-armvirt-64-Image-initramfs 4,138,105 openwrt-armvirt-64-rootfs.cpio.gz 4,255,463 openwrt-armvirt-64-rootfs-ext4.img.gz 3,390,390 openwrt-armvirt-64-rootfs-squashfs.img.gz Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de> |

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 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 -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.
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.
