Custom Build tip example

Asus RT-N12 B1 (8MB Flash)
The brcm47xx target would be close but not quite right.
You'll need to do a "make custom" and select your router from the menu which should configure it for brcm47xx/mips47k.

Once this is saved, i tend to kill the build process. Rescue the .config file from within the /custom-src directory and build my own target folder in the /targets directory.
In your case i would make a "mips74k" folder underneath "brcm47xx" and copy the same images file across. Rename the ".config" to "config".

Then you can call "make FULL_BUILD=true brcm47xx/mips74k".

For your own sanity, i would run "make FULL_BUILD=true brcm47xx" before trying any of this to make sure your build environment is 100% and you can complete a stock build first.

Great post!

I've just finished running through the full procedure and it now works as expected. Had to make a few small edits.

Note: adding "universe" and "multiverse" is not longer required as its looks like they fixed a bug. I have just left it for reference.

Note: Need to be careful of hard drive space especially with VM's. Need 50 Gig as a minimum. I use over 100 gig.
