This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution.
Please use "make menuconfig" to choose your preferred configuration for the toolchain and firmware.
You need to have installed gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make, find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers.
Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into package/feeds/.
Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image.
Simply running "make" will build your firmware. It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain, the kernel and all choosen applications.
To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system.

If you want to upgrade an older image ( <2018-03-11 ) with the current one, please backup the data and perform an recovery via fullimage.img method. If not, you end up in a bootloop, which then also has to be resolved via the fullimage.img method.
The project is intended to use the EasyBox as simple IOT device with only network support. It is possible to make use all of the 5 ports of the switch and run some services.
There fore it is useful to connect to the board via serial adapter. (Of course you need the unlocked uboot, see https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=284534#p284534 how to flash).
git clone https://github.com/Quallenauge/Easybox-904-XDSL.git Easybox-904-XDSL
cd Easybox-904-XDSL
./scripts/feeds update && ./scripts/feeds install -a
cp vr9_default.config .config
make oldconfig
make V=s
The resulting image can be found on
bin/targets/lantiq/xrx200/openwrt-lantiq-xrx200-lantiq_vgv952cjw33-e-ir-squashfs-rootfs-ubinized.bin
There are some snapshots from the current build. Please refer this link for details.
Refer Install instructions at the openwrt wiki as base. For reference the images will be uploaded here: Firmware Snapshots Lately it seems, the fullimage.img doesn't work right now, please use the newest one from: fullimage.img .
A compile able uboot is integrated in the master-lede branch. It is untested! A working uboot can be compiled when using this branch: https://github.com/Quallenauge/Easybox-904-XDSL/tree/master.
It is modified to accept all provided passwords in the same way the one at the openwrt post is used. As addition the bootnum functionality is disabled to save some uboot settings re-flash cycles at boot. Also the network is always switched on, to support boot over tftp per default.
A prebuilt one can be found here.
The uboot environment variables has to be modified in the following way, assuming the rootfs is of type ext2 and is stored at sda1.
setenv addbootargs setenv bootargs \\${bootargs} root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=7 init=/etc/preinit rootfstype=ext2
setenv bootflash nand read.e \\$(loadaddr) \\$(f\_kernel\_addr) \\$(f\_kernel\_size) \\; run addip addmisc addbootargs \\; bootm \\$(loadaddr)
setenv bootcmd run bootflash
saveenv
The kernel is updated via (assume the uImage is in the current path, PLEASE refer to the ToDos at openwrt to avoid bricks https://openwrt.org/toh/astoria/arcadyan_astoria_easybox_904xdsl_r01?s[]=arcadyan&s[]=astoria&s[]=easybox&s[]=904xdsl#installing_openwrt
flash_eraseall /dev/mtd2
nandwrite -p /dev/mtd2 uImage
The memory card should have a partition which contains the rootfs. The partition should correspond to the uboot root setting (e.g. /dev/sda1).
