Description

Hi all!

I try to build cerowrt with script "build_cero.sh init" but this script give me an error:

The current version of cerowrt is not independently buildable with that script.

I will be producing an improved version and separate patches in the rc7-smoketest
series. Sorry, but due to the chaos in the linux kernel.org process and my own
pending vacation, and recent travel to france, things got disorganized....

Please come see me (today) and I can get you a working build in about 10 minutes
that doesn't use that script.

Many many thanks Dave! Im new in cerowrt but I think thats is very interesting!!

I waiting for rc7. I try to build system for routerboard.

Thanks!

At present cerowrt is VERY specific to the wndr3700v2, specifically the atheros (ath9k) chipset . I do hope that with some minor effort it can be ported to the routerstation -- but I don't know what's in the routerboard?

Most of the core changes to the drivers and underlying architecture are pushed up into openwrt. A description of what's different about cerowrt in general is in the release notes for rc6.

Hello,

Routerboard contains:
CPU: Atheros AR7161
wireless radio can be any ath9k chipset.

But I can try to build because is not working for me.

Thanks for all information Dave!

I have revised the build instructions to have a note regarding the kernel.org problem and a workaround, AND have hopefully fixed the script to be more general.

I do not garuntee anything at this point... but give this a shot.

Meh. There are still a few problems left. I need to push things up and solve #113 somehow.

But the above should get you started.

  • Status changed from New to In Progress

I updated the wiki page and tested the instructions with a fresh ubuntu install that it should work.

  • Assignee set to Jim Gettys
  • Target version set to 14

It would be good to have a 3rd person duplicate the procedure before we can call it 'baked'. Jim?

Also I suppose we are getting close to being able to build a vm...

and I have to update that build script to let people build from a tagged release.

Updated by Jim Gettys over 1 year ago

  • Category set to Build
  • Target version changed from 14 to Cerowrt-1.0-rc8
  • Estimated time set to 40.00

Lots of time has already been spent by Dave

Updated by Ketan Kulkarni about 1 year ago

I could build cerowrt-3.3 from the steps mentioned at
http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt/wiki/Building_Cerowrt_on_your_own_machine

There are slight changes required in the build_cero.sh, cero_config and instructions.
The required diffs are attached.
