Ramips platform (WT3020)

Hi,

There are some popular routers for ramips target.
Some of them are natively supported by OpenWRT with all functionality, so I think Gargoyle could support these routers too.

In less than 2 months I will get WT3020 model.. and would be happy if I could install Gargoyle on it. It is very cheap and has 64MB RAM, 8MB flash and fast CPU.

Now I tried to play with Gargoyle setup, and prepared a patch for 1.8.1 version (I prefer stability, so not choosed 1.9 branch) :
http://pastebin.com/raw/etGkVUWC

It enables compiling ramips targets, adds support for OpenWRT BB to WT3020 devices (with 8MB flash) and can build WT3020 firmware.

What do you think about this idea?

I also search for testers - because I managed to compile and produce Gargoyle image for this model; will send on PM)

Nice work mate :)

If you want this included into the main build though, you'll need to embrace the latest code (1.9.X). Development on 1.8.X is basically finished except for bug fixes or security issues.

I think you will find 1.9.X very stable.

Well done with the patch. :)

OK, this is patch for Gargoyle-git (for CC branch) http://pastebin.com/raw/9rrT77Tm

For now, I chose only three MT7620N devices with 8 MB flash and no 5GHz radio:

- Asus RT-N14U
- WRTNode
- WT3020N (not for 4MB flash versions)

Important note:
- WT3020 must NOT be upgraded with wt3020-8M-squashfs-factory.bin, use wt3020-8M-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin - it makes device unbootable on original u-boot. Sysupgrade is OK.

EDIT: please also fix
Please also fix in my patch:

Code: Select all

+CONFIG_PACKAGE_wireless-tools=y
to

Code: Select all

+# CONFIG_PACKAGE_wireless-tools is not set
EDIT2: and add this patch https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/18768#comment:5
