A forum to discuss the Gargoyle web interface for Openwrt

understand. is it risky or complicated? i'm using the same GL.iNet hardware what you sell and i found a potential successor: https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-b1300/. looks cool and it's multicore. but i don't see any WRT's yet for it. would be nice to do a Gargoyle firmware for it somehow.Lantis wrote:I’m very busy with my personal life and work.
I’m happy to help anyone learn to make their own images, but I don’t have the time to spin up an environment just to do it myself. My environment is dedicated to development at this stage
its only in openwrt "snapshot"understand. is it risky or complicated? i'm using the same GL.iNet hardware what you sell and i found a potential successor: https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-b1300/. looks cool and it's multicore. but i don't see any WRT's yet for it. would be nice to do a Gargoyle firmware for it somehow.
So far this is what I was able to get out of them:Lantis wrote: In the meantime, I have sent the seller a request for source code under GPL requirements. If they won’t comply, there’s not much that can be done, but I’ll certainly report it to eBay.
I am not sure how much help this is. I will try to ask them one more time, but I guess I will need to figure out what to do without them.Our router uses the MTK7620A chipset, and the official website of the Gargoyle has a corresponding SDK.
Our engineers only add some commonly used plugins, such as printer drivers, etc. All source code is posted on the corresponding developer's website. If you want to compile the firmware yourself, you can choose the plugin you need to install.
so there's some chance. nice.ispyisail wrote:its only in openwrt "snapshot"understand. is it risky or complicated? i'm using the same GL.iNet hardware what you sell and i found a potential successor: https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-b1300/. looks cool and it's multicore. but i don't see any WRT's yet for it. would be nice to do a Gargoyle firmware for it somehow.
You need to wait for it to go into stable

So far I managed to git clone repositories (gargoyle and openwrt), checked out the relevant branches (base_on_openwrt_remerge for gargoyle and openwrt-18.06 for openwrt). Also, I think I kind of figured out which packages I need to install (I have debian 9.5) for the build to succeed.Lantis wrote:You should start here:

For your device, if it is supported by 17.04, then you should use the branch “base-on_openwrt_remerge” which will become Gargoyle 1.11.0 and is based on Openwrt 18.06.
The Ramips target has not been migrated to the new build yet, so you will need to generate a config from scratch using the base Openwrt config.
Code: Select all
define Device/youku-yk1
DTS := YOUKU-YK1
IMAGE_SIZE := $(ralink_default_fw_size_32M)
DEVICE_TITLE := YOUKU YK1
DEVICE_PACKAGES := kmod-usb2 kmod-usb-ohci kmod-sdhci-mt7620 kmod-usb-ledtrig-usbport
endef
TARGET_DEVICES += youku-yk1
Ok, I was able to select the packages, except for the DLNA for Gargoyle package. For some reason this did not show up among the possible gargoyle plugins.Lantis wrote:If you checkout the latest base_on_openwrt_remerge, I have updated the custom target.
You can now “make custom” and see if you can select your router from the menu, and select the Gargoyle packages.
I saved the config just in case, but continued, and the machine now compiles. Approximately how long would it take?Lantis wrote: Sometimes it works better to stop at this point and rescue the .config file and create a new Gargoyle target and start the build fresh from there.
