This page will explain how to install OpenWRT as a cross-compile environment.

Getting started

Note: For safety reasons all the further commands should be run from a non-root account.

First download a fresh copy of OpenWRT from git:

git clone git://projects.qi-hardware.com/openwrt-xburst.git

Now enter the openwrt dir that was just created:

cd openwrt-xburst

Before running a cross-compiler you should update the repository:

scripts/feeds update

If you want to have all the packages avaliable, run the following command:

scripts/feeds install -a

In case you want to choose a single package instead:

scripts/feeds install package_name

Running the cross-compiler

To enter an interactive gui for OpenWRT cross-compiler:

make menuconfig 

Now select XBurst as your target system:

Target System -> (X) Ingenic XBurst

Choose all the other packages you want to build and exit the gui, saving the config. Then run:

make

The first time you run it, the build process will take several minutes due to building the whole cross-compilation toolchain.

When done, toolchain can be found in staging_dir/toolchain*

Libs can be found in staging_dir/target*
