This target is still on kernel 4.14, and recent attempts to move it to kernel 5.4 have not led to success. The device tester reported that it wouldn't boot with the following messages: From sysupgrade: Press any key within 4 seconds to enter setup.... loading kernel from nand... OK setting up elf image... OK jumping to kernel code At this point the system hangs. From CompactFlash: Press any key within 4 seconds to enter setup.... Booting CF Loading kernel... done setting up elf image... kernel out of range kernel loading failed The tester reported that the same was observed with current master (kernel 4.14) as well. This looks like some kernel size restriction. Since this target is quite old and only supports one device, and since nobody else seemed interested in working on this for quite some time, I decided to not put further work into analyzing the problem and drop this together with the other 4.14-only targets.

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!
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.
gcc binutils bzip2 flex python3 perl make find grep diff unzip gawk getopt
subversion libz-dev libc-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.
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.
