This repo is maintained by GL.iNet team, which is used to release stock firmware.

• Support latest device of GL.iNet
• Support kernel driver which isn't support by kernel-tree
• Keep updating with stock firmware

• openwrt-18.06-siflower Only supports SF1200

• openwrt-18.06-s1300 Support compiling openwrt firmware for S1300

  If you need to flash OpenWrt firmware on S1300, you need to modify the partition table using the intermediate firmware in this branch

• openwrt-18.06 Compile versions before 3.105 firmware based on this source code

• openwrt-18.06.5 Compile version 3.105 firmware based on this source code

• openwrt-19.07.7 Compile version 3.201 firmware based on this source code

• openwrt-trunk Compile S1300 firmware supporting emmc

For example, if you want to use openwrt-19.07.7 to compile the production firmware, you need to use git checkout openwrt-19.07.7 command to switch openwrt-19.07.7 branch.

Support Branch: Branches that support this product

Official OpenWrt : Official OpenWrt supports this product from the current release

^nor: Compiled firmware can only run on nor flash

^nor+nand: Can compile the firmware that runs on nor flash and nand flash

^nor+emmc: Can compile the firmware that runs on nor flash and emmc

To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system. Ubuntu is usually recommended.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev gawk gcc-multilib flex git-core gettext libssl-dev

$ git clone https://github.com/gl-inet/openwrt.git openwrt
$ cd openwrt

$ ./scripts/feeds update -a
$ ./scripts/feeds install -a

Note that if you have all the source already, just put them in your openwrt/dl folder and you save time to download resource.

$ rm ./tmp -rf

Suitable for all products

Issueing make menuconfig to select a GL.iNet device, for example AR300M.

$ make menuconfig

Please select options as following:

Target System (Atheros AR7xxx/AR9xxx)  --->

Subtarget (Generic)  --->

Target Profile (GL-AR300M)  --->

Then select common software package (as you need),such as USB driver as following,

GL.iNet packages choice shortcut  --->

   [ ] Select basic packages
       Select VPN  --->
   [*] Support storage
   [*] Support USB
   [ ] Support webcam
   [ ] Support rtc

If the package you want to brush depends on the GL base package, please Select Select basic packages as well. Which packages the GL base package contains can be found in config/config-glinet.in

Simply running make V=s -j5 will build your own firmware. It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain, the kernel and all choosen applications which is spent on several hours.

$ make V=s -j5

Notice V=s, this parameter is purpose to check info when compile. -j5, this parameter is for choosing the cpu core number, 5 means using 4 cores. If there’s error, please use make V=s -j1 to recompile, and check the error.

The final firmware file is bin/ar71xx/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-gl-ar300m-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin so this file is the firmware we need, please update firmware again. Please refer to other instructions for further operations. Such as flash the firmware, etc.

Applicable to GL-AR300M GL-AR750S GL-E750 GL-X1200 GL-X750

Issueing make menuconfig to select a GL.iNet device, for example AR300M.

$ make menuconfig

Please select options as following:

Target System (Atheros AR7xxx/AR9xxx)  --->

Subtarget (Generic devices with NAND flash)  --->

Target Profile (GL-AR300M NAND)  --->

Then select common software package (as you need),such as USB driver as following,

GL.iNet packages choice shortcut  --->

   [ ] Select basic packages
       Select VPN  --->
   [*] Support storage
   [*] Support USB
   [ ] Support webcam
   [ ] Support rtc

bin/ar71xx/openwrt-ar71xx-nand-gl-ar300m-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar

So this file is the firmware we need, please update firmware again. Please refer to other instructions for further operations. Such as flash the firmware, etc.
