Hardware -------- CPU: Mediatek MT7621 RAM: 256M DDR3 FLASH: 128M NAND ETH: 1x Gigabit Ethernet WiFi: Mediatek MT7915 (2.4/5GHz 802.11ax 2x2 DBDC) BTN: 1x Reset (NWA50AX only) LED: 1x Multi-Color (NWA50AX only) UART Console ------------ NWA50AX: Available below the rubber cover next to the ethernet port. NWA55AXE: Available on the board when disassembling the device. Settings: 115200 8N1 Layout: <12V> <LAN> GND-RX-TX-VCC Logic-Level is 3V3. Don't connect VCC to your UART adapter! Installation Web-UI ------------------- Upload the Factory image using the devices Web-Interface. As the device uses a dual-image partition layout, OpenWrt can only installed on Slot A. This requires the current active image prior flashing the device to be on Slot B. If the currently installed image is started from Slot A, the device will flash OpenWrt to Slot B. OpenWrt will panic upon first boot in this case and the device will return to the ZyXEL firmware upon next boot. If this happens, first install a ZyXEL firmware upgrade of any version and install OpenWrt after that. Installation TFTP ----------------- This installation routine is especially useful in case * unknown device password (NWA55AXE lacks reset button) * bricked device Attach to the UART console header of the device. Interrupt the boot procedure by pressing Enter. The bootloader has a reduced command-set available from CLI, but more commands can be executed by abusing the atns command. Boot a OpenWrt initramfs image available on a TFTP server at 192.168.1.66. Rename the image to owrt.bin $ atnf owrt.bin $ atna 192.168.1.88 $ atns "192.168.1.66; tftpboot; bootm" Upon booting, set the booted image to the correct slot: $ zyxel-bootconfig /dev/mtd10 get-status $ zyxel-bootconfig /dev/mtd10 set-image-status 0 valid $ zyxel-bootconfig /dev/mtd10 set-active-image 0 Copy the OpenWrt ramboot-factory image to the device using scp. Write the factory image to NAND and reboot the device. $ mtd write ramboot-factory.bin firmware $ reboot Signed-off-by: David Bauer <mail@david-bauer.net> |

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.
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 -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.
