UbuntuWRT 20.04

It's finally here! UbuntuWRT based on the latest to date Ubuntu LTS 20.04.

UbuntuWRT is Ubuntu for the Linksys WRT3200ACM router.

Lot's of changes since the last release:

• Ubuntu 20.04 LTS based.
• Linux kernel 4.19.124.
• Kernel loads from USB thumb, meaning you can leave factory firmware flashed. You must have a serial connection, though.

This is still in testing, so use at your own risk.

Release will be shared one testing is done, but you can build yourself for now.

Features

• DNSmasq DHCP and DNS.
• DNScrypt-proxy 2 to manage your upstream DNS request securely.
• Ready for netplan (testing).

Installing

1. Cloning

git clone --recursive https://github.com/cilix-lab/ubuntu-wrt.git

2. Building the Kernel

Read linux-4.19.124/README.md.

3. Building the Root

Read BUILDING.md.

4. U-Boot

To enable booting from the USB thumb after you've prepared UbuntuWRT's root system, set the following in the router's serial console:

setenv nandboot 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rw rootdelay=5; usb reset; ext4load usb 0:1 $defaultLoadAddr /boot/uimage; bootm $defaultLoadAddr'

setenv altnandboot 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rw rootdelay=5; usb reset; ext4load usb 0:1 $defaultLoadAddr /boot/uimage; bootm $defaultLoadAddr'

saveenv

Defaults (to rollback flashed firmware):

setenv nandboot 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock6 ro rootdelay=1 rootfstype=jffs2 earlyprintk $mtdparts; nand read $defaultLoadAddr $priKernAddr $priKernSize; bootm $defaultLoadAddr'

setenv altnandboot 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock8 ro rootdelay=1 rootfstype=jffs2 earlyprintk $mtdparts; nand read $defaultLoadAddr $altKernAddr $altKernSize; bootm $defaultLoadAddr'

saveenv
