Cf. https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=205552#p205552 https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2013-June/020538.html for some insight. call block detect to get a sample UCI configuration file. If target is / then it will be used as extroot. block info is also valid to get the uuid. OpenWrt – operating system architecture Whereas desktop distributions use glib+dbus+udev(part of systemd), OpenWrt uses libubox+ubus+procd. This provides some pretty awesome functionality without requiring huge libraries with huge dependencies (*cough* glib).

RPM What's the difference between ubus vs dbus? dbus is bloated, its C API is very annoying to use and requires writing large amounts of boilerplate code. In fact, the pure C API is so annoying that its own API documentation states: “If you use this low-level API directly, you're signing up for some pain.” ubus is tiny and has the advantage of being easy to use from regular C code, as well as automatically making all exported API functionality also available to shell scripts with no extra effort. “Of course, NetworkManager should be renamed to “unetwork”, dbus to “ubus”, PulseAudio to “usound”, and X.Org-Server/Wayland-Compositor to “udisplay”; and then indescribable happiness would come down to all people of this world.” – Lennart Poettering →OpenWrt Buildroot – About → OpenWrt Buildroot – Installation →OpenWrt Buildroot – Usage →OpenWrt Buildroot – Patches →file_system / flash.layout →internal.layout →preinit_mount/process.boot/requirements.boot.process PulseAudio does not depend on GLib and does not seem to depends on D-Bus neither: LFS FOSDEM2013: Can Linux network configuration suck less? 1) yes, heavily stripped OpenWrt can run on 16 or even 8MiB 2) yes, 4MiB and 2MiB possible This website uses cookies.
