Arm fling installation

Installing and Using OpenWrt

Hi,

There were many steps but from what I can remember :

  1. Added all the below options (at bottom) to the armvirt/64/config-default and compiled QEMU image
  2. Created a virtual disk (VMDK) in ESXI Arm
  3. Used Ubuntu live CD (ARM64) from ESXI Arm to :
    • Create 3 partitions on VMDK disk using gdisk (sda1 = EFI partition (EF00), sda2 = boot partition (ext4), sda3 = openwrt partition (ext4)
    • Copied Kernel openwrt-armvirt-64-Image to sda2
    • Install Grub EFI on Virtual Disk
    • set grub.cfg to have "linux /boot/openwrt-armvirt-64-Image root=/dev/sda3 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 noinitrd"
    • Extracted from compiled folder openwrt-armvirt-64-root.ext4.gz and copied image to sda3 using dd E.G. dd if=openwrt-armvirt-64-root.ext4 of=/dev/sda3
    • Resized partition sda3 - resize2fs /dev/sda3
    • Mounted /dev/sda3 and added "::askconsole:/usr/libexec/login.sh" to /etc/inittab so the console would work at boot
  4. Created new virtual machine in ESXI
    • Use the VMDK that has been created as the disk
    • Set EFI to boot grubaa64.efi

Hopefully that was it I never really took any step by step notes so the above is just from memory, Hope it helps
