I'm having trouble understanding a few steps in the firmware building process.
I prepared my build system, but stuck on the git clone part. What am I cloning?
For example, I want to build an image for Banana Pi R2 board using the latest OpenWRT version, v19.x.x. So, what do I clone? What would be the first two or three statements that I type. That's all I need for now to get started.
Thank you. Now getting somewhere. I'm in the makefile for BPI-R2, I don't see U-boot listed in the "bootloader" section when I select my board. There are some old files listed in this branch:
Thank you. That's what I thought, but why my bootloader screen is empty? I cloned the full OpenWRT and updated the sources before starting the makefile.
Unlike most boards, the BPI-R2 doesn't come with any bootloader at all, so the board doesn't even start if it's not there. I found the uboot bootloader files on this page.
