OpenWrt ImageBuilder

Get it

This download will probably change and is architecture specific:

wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03/brcm47xx/OpenWrt-ImageBuilder-brcm47xx-for-Linux-i686.tar.bz2
tar xjf OpenWrt-ImageBuilder-brcm47xx-for-Linux-i686.tar.bz2
cd OpenWrt-ImageBuilder-brcm47xx-for-Linux-i686

Make a Custom Image

Now you can make a custom image with the packages you want, plus some extra files. You can preload the image with your own config, and automate it.

Here is what I run (preload with openvpn and ipv6 capability):

make image PACKAGES="openvpn radvd kmod-b43 kmod-ipv6 kmod-sit ip -uhttpd" FILES="files/"

The files in the "files/" directory are the files that will be incorporated into the final image. Here are some example files.

Burn It

Your take your file and scp to it:

scp bin/brcm47xx/openwrt-brcm47xx-squashfs.trx [email protected]:/tmp/

Now Burn it (on your router):

mtd -r write /tmp/openwrt-brcm47xx-squashfs.trx linux
