Topic: Developing from a new hardware not in menuconfig

...but provided in this page https://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_b … s/mt7620n/ (pre-compiled)

This is for the WMR-300.

I installed the whole dev package ( impressive and well organized work ) and wandered around some packages to see how they're implemented - modifying some code for testing ( and fun! ), on other routers.

When it comes to WMR-300, since I intend to spend some time on it and the source, I see that the MT7620N is nowhere within the convenient 'make menuconfig' menu and .config file.
But someone ( @ldpinney seemingly ) added the necessary stuff and provided the whole (compiled) in the page given above, that is

  • OpenWrt-ImageBuilder-ramips_mt7620n-for-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

  • OpenWrt-SDK-ramips-for-linux-x86_64-gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2.tar.bz2

  • OpenWrt-Toolchain-ramips-for-mipsel_24kec%2bdsp-gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2.tar.bz2

Being new in the process, I don't know what to extract from those tars, the mt7620n data/files (.dts and other?) and inject them into the whole dev environment.

- Is there a convenient way, a script, a how-to that can copy the necessary stuff from these 3 (or maybe just the ImageBuilder) ?
- What is the minimum to copy ?

Thank you.

I cloned the trunk, not the 14.07 branch (Barrier Breaker).

You solved the problem anyway. Thank you.

The discussion might have continued from here.
