I have WhiteRussion RC3 installed on a WRT54G v3. I've then installed a few packages using ipkg. Finally I've configured certain Nvram settings and some configuration files. (Everything is running great -- thanks OpenWRT team!)
Is there a way to take the complete contents of this preconfigured router and make a .bin file from it? (The idea is to then load this .bin into other routers.)
Thanks,
Bill
Sure, just run this command on the router:
dd if=/dev/mtdblock/1ro of=/tmp/backup.trxThis will save everything but the bootloader and the NVRAM. To include your custom NVRAM settings I would suggest to include your changes to NVRAM in the /etc/preinit file ...
Cheers, Max!
Is there a way to backup the nvram in such a fashion? I would like to produce a single trx file with everything but the bootloader. Possible?
