6 years ago Hi,
In order to obtain the both files "openwrt-ramips-mt7620-ArcherC2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin" (the one distributed here) and the "openwrt-ramips-mt7620-ArcherC2-initramfs-kernel.bin" (the one that I request), you need only to do:
- When execute the "make menuconfig" then select "TARGET IMAGES" ---> and enable RAMDISK. Leave enabled "SQUASHFS" too.
After compile, you see both files in the "bin/ramips/" directory. Then please distribute both files in the release section.
With this you enable the option for flashing (with "squashfs-sysupgrade.bin") the OpenWRT firmware; and for booting (with "initramfs-kernel.bin") using the TFTP mode of the Bootloader. The advantage with the second method it's that you can test the firmware without flahshing anything. So it's completly safe!
I hope you do this upgrade! Thank you for this port. :smile:
Hi,
In addition to the SYSUPGRADE release, I suggest to release too the INITRAMFS version. This will help users that tries to check the firmware using the serial console with the TFTP load. See: http://lede-project.org/docs/guide-developer/adding_new_device#testing_images
You agree?
