OK, I've been watching OpenWrt for a while in the hope that I can do something useful with a spare DG834v4 (bcm6348). I see on the News Forum (http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=17370) that this target is now available (thanks guys!) so I've followed the instructions to checkout the trunk (rev 13011) and attempted to configure it.

However, there's no option to configure for the BCM 963xx target system in make config/menuconfig. The option is definitely present in the .config file (as "# CONFIG_TARGET_brcm63xx is not set") and the target/linux/brcm63xx directory exists.

I've a feeling I'm missing something blindingly obvious but I've been reading and rereading the various build and installation docs and trying various things but I'm getting nowhere. Can anyone give me a clue as to what I might be doing wrong before I give up and report as a bug and probably get flamed to a crisp?

Mike

menuconfig > Advanced configuration options (for developers): Y > Show broken platforms / packages: Y

and then

menuconfig > Target System: Broadcom BCM963xx [2.6]

Many thanks Yanira - I'd seen the Advanced config option but the relevance of 'Show broken platforms/packages' and the existence of the 'broken' Features entry in the relevant Makefile hadn't registered.

The discussion might have continued from here.
