After OpenWrt image building using the Mediatek SDK
OpenWrt building for Linkit 7688 and 7688 Duo
this article describes how to generate a LEDE image for the Linkit 7688 Duo.
The steps on how to compile LEDE are available at the link
Clone the code from the github in a shell command window, always from the Linkit folder
|
1 2 |
cd cd Linkit |
run
|
1 |
git clone https://git.lede-project.org/source.git Lede |
Create the src folder under Linkit and extract the compressed file
This feed was created from Mediatek one, eliminating the binary drivers dependency.
Copy the file to the src folder and uncompress it
|
1 2 3 |
sviluppo@debian:~/Linkit/src$ ls linkit.tar.gz sviluppo@debian:~/Linkit/src$ tar -zxvf linkit.tar.gz |
|
1 2 3 |
sviluppo@debian:~/Linkit/src$ ls linkit linkit.tar.gz sviluppo@debian:~/Linkit/src$ |
Go to the Lede folder and copy the feeds.conf.default file as feeds.conf
|
1 2 3 |
cd cd Linkit/Lede cp feeds.conf.default feeds.conf |
Run
|
1 |
echo src-cpy linkit ~/Linkit/src/linkit >> feeds.conf |
Update the feeds for the packages
|
1 |
./scripts/feeds update |
Install the packages
|
1 |
./scripts/feeds install -a |
Configure the kernel executing
|
1 |
make menuconfig |
Use the following settings
- Target System: Mediatek Ralink MIPS
- Subtarget: MT7688 based boards
- Target Profile: Mediatek LinkIt Smart 7688
In the Base system section enable mtk-linkit
Save and exit.
Run the building
|
1 |
make V=s -j x |
where x is the number of cores to use in the building.
At the end of the process the generated image is available in the bin/targets/ramips/mt7688/ folder as lede-ramips-mt7688-LinkIt7688-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin.
The built firmware is available here
Lede Image for Linkit 7688 Duo
WARNING: The image installation on the device is at your own risk. We accept no responsibility if the installation leads to malfunction or block of the device.
If you upgrade the board using an usb key, you need to rename the lede-ramips-mt7688-LinkIt7688-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin file in lks7688.img.
This firmware may have malfunctions as it is not thoroughly tested and based on drivers under development.
In the next articles we’ll upload the images to the board and configure them
