Kernel 4.4 was ready for brcm47xx for almost a year now but I kept postponing the bump due to problems with Linksys WRT300N v1.0. OpenWrt and LEDE with 4.4 were hanging at the booting with the: > Starting program at 0x80001000 (the last CFE message). This was a permanent state, "make distclean" wasn't helping, I spent hours debugging this and I was reliably reproducing the issue every time. I also reported it on linux-mips ML in the thread: > BCM4704 stopped booting with 4.4 (due to vmlinux size?) After ~month I started working on WRT300N again. I got hangs as expected every time I switched from 4.1 to 4.4. I started experimenting with: 1) TRX content (I tried dropping rootfs partition) 2) BZ_TEXT_START of lzma-loader 3) Flashing other variants of image: lzma compressed kernel (without a loader), gzip compressed one, uncompressed one. At some point I got rootfs-less image booting and after that I couldn't reproduce problem anymore, even with a complete firmware. It seems like hardware was in some locked/unstable state that got magically fixed. I have LEDE working now, tested it even with "make distclean", it seems we can bump kernel now. I'll keep testing it on WRT300N for some time. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl> |

This is the buildsystem for the LEDE Linux distribution. Please use "make menuconfig" to choose your preferred configuration for the toolchain and firmware. You need to have installed gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make, find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers. Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into package/feeds/. Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image. Simply running "make" will build your firmware. It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain, the kernel and all choosen applications. 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. Sunshine! Your LEDE Community http://www.lede-project.org
