Linksys MX4200 is a 802.11ax Tri-band router/AP. Specifications: * CPU: Qualcomm IPQ8174 Quad core Cortex-A53 1.4GHz * RAM: 512MB of DDR3 * Storage: 512Mb NAND * Ethernet: 4x1G RJ45 ports (QCA8075) * WLAN: * 2.4GHz: Qualcomm QCN5024 2x2 802.11b/g/n/ax 574 Mbps PHY rate * 5GHz: Qualcomm QCN5054 2x2@80MHz or 2x2@160MHz 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax 2402 PHY rate * 5GHz: Qualcomm QCN5054 4x4@80MHz or 2x2@160MHz 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax 2402 PHY rate * LED-s: * RGB system led * Buttons: 1x Soft reset 1x WPS * Power: 12V DC Jack Installation instructions: Open Linksys Web UI - http://192.168.1.1/ca or http://10.65.1.1/ca depending on your setup. Login with your admin password. The default password can be found on a sticker under the device. To enter into the support mode, click on the “CA” link and the bottom of the page. Open the “Connectivity” menu and upload the squash-factory image with the “Choose file” button. Click start. Ignore all the prompts and warnings by click “yes” in all the popups. The Wifi radios are turned off by default. To configure the router, you will need to connect your computer to the LAN port of the device. Then you would need to write openwrt to the other partition for it to work - First Check booted partition fw_printenv -n boot_part - Then install Openwrt to the other partition if booted in slot 1: mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx4200v(X)-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel - If in slot 2: mtd -r -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx4200v(X)-squashfs-factory.bin kernel Replace (X) with your model version either 1 or 2 Signed-off-by: Mohammad Sayful Islam <sayf.mohammad01@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Robert Marko <robimarko@gmail.com> |

README.md
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 python3.7+ 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.
