LibreMesh release 2017 firmware for 4MB devices #116

Closed p4u closed 7 years ago

p4u commented 7 years ago

Using the lime-sdk tool it should be possible to cook binaries for 4MB devices.

There should be two different flavors:

Minimalist system including WebUI (LuCI)
Minimalist system without WebUI (with more space to install user stuff)

Would it be interesting to have a flavor without BMX6 and with LuCI?

p4u commented 7 years ago

bmx6 is the one who choose the gateway to Internet and other networks in a standard libremesh setup. So, right now it does not have much sense IMO. Some structural changes would be needed.

In any case, bmx6 does not make a big difference in the total amount of flash space for a router.

In the other side, remove LuCi makes sense IMO, there is actually a SDK profile which does not include it.
