FAT32 SHAMER posted:Linux n00b q: is openwrt the gentoo of embedded devices where u build it all yourself? it's much more like a real binary distro with an easy installer/setup process, so no but if you really want to for various use cases (like i bake in configuration for a local coffee shop so that even a full 'factory reset' puts it back at my own settings) you can use the quite nice/powerful/easy imagebuilder (which builds images from binary packages so it's extremely fast) or just build it all yourself from source. the documentation is pretty good. but honestly using openwrt as a normal person is no different than doing a normal firmware update

FAT32 SHAMER posted:Linux n00b q: is openwrt the gentoo of embedded devices where u build it all yourself? No, I'm only compiling OpenWrt because I want to fix some bugs related to my particular router model, which is a weirdo niche device (designed for hotel room wifi). Not many people have scrutinized this platform for bugs, so there are still a few obvious ones that need fixing. Basically what I'm doing is fiddling with jumpers and IRQs, and finding the right driver settings to make all the peripherals work. In 2024, instead of dip switches, that means editing device tree files (like CSS for hardware). If you remember messing with modem cards and hard drive jumpers in the pre-Win 95 days, you know exactly what it's all about.

Not many people have scrutinized this platform for bugs, so there are still a few obvious ones that need fixing. the pre-Win95 days are also mostly pre-FAT32 SHAMER days but luckily I have messed around with that kind of thing back when I worked for a different auto oem and it was very cathartic to get poo poo working on that stuff. your posts about it have been really interesting, so thanks for sharing them here

$15 Aruba AP-303H hotel wifi AP This is the device. Nothing special, but it's amazing for $15. Very versatile with the PoE and lan ports. Solid 'enterprise' construction, polycarbonate and cast aluminum. HP product page, because they're still selling these new.

Yeah, if you've done microcontroller stuff, like setting up peripherals by loading config registers, it's a lot like that. In the case of this I2C bug, there are only so many ways you can misconfigure that I2C peripheral, so you just go ahead and start trying different settings. (that's why I wanted a faster build machine: faster trial and error) ryanrs fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Apr 30, 2024 |

You can stick "GL-AR750" into the OpenWrt Firmware Selector. Get the sysupgrade.bin, and then poke through the router's OEM web admin pages looking for "Advanced". That should get you to the vanilla OpenWrt flash upgrade page, where you can upload the sysupgrade.bin. This router is very easy to flash, since it's already OpenWrt with just an OEM overlay/skin/theme.

Well, the flash seemed to go okay, but I'm not getting assigned an IP when I plug my laptop in to it via ethernet e: the cable the gave me with it was just crappy, working now that i got a different one. woo!

yeah openwrt is good and LuCI is even pretty easy to use. i was gonna compile my own image over the weekend since asus-merlin is EOLing my model, but i guess i'll just use the image builder if it's Good Enough the last time i messed with openwrt it was new and didn't work well, idk how well it works now skip compiling Y/N? e: hmm the defaults, quote:base-files brcmfmac-firmware-4366b1-pcie brcmfmac-firmware-4366c0-pcie busybox ca-bundle dnsmasq dropbear firewall4 fstools iwinfo kmod-brcmfmac kmod-brcmfmac kmod-gpio-button-hotplug kmod-leds-gpio kmod-nft-offload kmod-phy-bcm-ns-usb2 kmod-phy-bcm-ns-usb3 kmod-usb-ledtrig-usbport kmod-usb-ohci kmod-usb2 kmod-usb3 libc libgcc libustream-mbedtls logd luci mtd netifd nftables nvram odhcp6c odhcpd-ipv6only opkg osafeloader oseama otrx ppp ppp-mod-pppoe procd procd-seccomp procd-ujail uci uclient-fetch urandom-seed urngd wpad-basic-mbedtls wpad-basic-mbedtls seem pretty decent, i'm not sure what else i would want included. adguard home maybe? would i need a custom uci-defaults for that since it provides dns and dhcp? i also remember wanting to customize the crap out of the default busybox (adding bashism support, some utilities that aren't default), would it be easily replaceable with an imagebuilder image or should i just compile it on my own anyway?

idk if you caught the edit but i'd appreciate some input on those questions since i guess either you or flappyjacks are our resident openwrt experts, lol. adding adguard home afterwards doesn't seem like it'd be a problem but maybe a custom busybox would? idk tia

I have not actually used any of my routers to route packets, ha ha. I am still working on baseline functionality. Don't ask me about add-ons, I have no idea at all.
