Adding ClearFog A1 support to mainline Openwrt
Building the image
Make sure you have cloned the latest OpenWrt trunk or CC release.
Update the feeds and go to menuconfig:
$ ./scripts/feeds update -a $ ./scripts/feeds install -a $ make menuconfig
While in menuconfig:
- For the Target System, select: Marvell Armada 37x/38x/XP
- For the Target Profile, select: SolidRun ClearFog A1 board
- For the Target Images, select: ramdisk
Exit and save configuration.
Build the image with make.
Booting the image on the board
Go to openwrt/bin/mvebu directory and set up tftp server:
sudo in.tftpd -L -s .
Power on the board. Connect the Ethernet cable on any LAN port. Press any key to get into the uboot loader, and type the following commands:
setenv ipaddr <board IP addr> setenv serverip <server IP addr> setenv ethact egiga1 setenv ethprime egiga1 saveenv tftpboot openwrt-mvebu-armada-388-clearfog-initramfs bootm
