You can use this branch:
It exist a PR (without speedpatches):
and
And I have an Developing branch too (with speedpatches and splitting into SMP and VPE build):
(uboot inside the separated branch pull/2061: https://github.com/Plonkbong/openwrt/tree/pr002-eb904x_uboot)
too add this inside the original openwrt you can use this (only a snipped not a complett script):
...
git branch eb904x
git fetch origin pull/2061/head:pr002-eb904x_uboot
git rebase eb904x pr002-eb904x_uboot
git checkout eb904x
git merge pr002-eb904x_uboot
branch=eb904x-next1
git remote add plonkb https://github.com/Plonkbong/openwrt.git
git fetch plonkb $branch:$branch
git rebase eb904x $branch
git checkout eb904x
git merge $branch
...It is usefull to use the original config from snapshot but eanable "with graphic support"
#######
At the moment i recomment my developing branch https://github.com/Plonkbong/openwrt/commits/eb904x-next1 that are compatible with the openwrt master branch
+ the uboot
+ fixing missed parameter at kernel config when graphic suport are enable https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/1885
Use the default config from the snapshot download directory, but enable "Build with graphic support"
The WLAN, touchpad and screen driver are here here:
(you can build it with the sourcebuild or SDK)
The packages for the Screen lcd4linux etc are here:
I recomment to build it with the SDK because a lot of dependies.
I have build (but not finaly tested) on 10.12.2019 in several steps:
Easybox 904xDSL Openwrt build in 4 steps it contain the following:
- compile Openwrt: The result are in the "./1_build-from-src" directory
- build additional drivers and minpkgset with the SDK: "./2_build-from-sdk"
- create a reposatory, copy the downloaded, the new builded, and the package builded with SDK into a repodir and give them an on key: "./3_repo"
- create my own images with the imagebuilder: "./4_image"
So standart images and images for all other xrx200 devices are in /1_build-from-src
Images with all driverers for eb904x are in ./4_image

Installation general procedure:
The stock and the custom bootloader u-boot have a recovery mode. It is the same on both.
The recoverymode does always:
- The recovery image called "fullimage.img" it is the same like *-initramfs-kernel.bin image. It is a kernel + ramdisk
- if you press the resetbutton 10sek short after start, the recoverymode goes on.
- The router load the fullimage.img via tftp from a server with the IP: 192.168.2.100. The router have the 192.168.2.1
- the fullimage.img will written on /dev/mtd2. It is the Kernel partition where the router start from.
- note the size of fullimage.img must be less than 5,242,880 Bytes, because this is the size of mtd2 patition
- If you now reset the router by switching the poweron/off-switch the router will start from /dev/mtd2 where is now the kernel+ramdisk
- After new starting from ramdisk you can or better should install the customer uboot with no password and the *-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin image
Normally it exist a lot of better manuells but will start here to write my own:
Installation of the recoverymode detailed:
(here i use the VPE variant with telefon supoort but no SMP)
- copy the recovery image to the tftp directory and rename it to fullimage.img
my recovery image inside the openwrt_build directory called: ./1_build-from-src/bin-fromsrc/targets/lantiq/xrx200/openwrt-lantiq-xrx200-arcadyan_vgv952cjw33-e-ir-vpe-initramfs-kernel.bin
(note the size of fullimage.img must be less than 5,242,880 Bytes)
mkdir /tmp/tftp
cp -vf ./1_build-from-src/bin-fromsrc/targets/lantiq/xrx200/openwrt-lantiq-xrx200-arcadyan_vgv952cjw33-e-ir-vpe-initramfs-kernel.bin /tmp/tftp/fullimage.img- connect the Lan interface of your PC with the router
The PC (tftp server) must have the IP: 192.168.2.100
The Router have the IP: 192.168.2.1
for this reason disable the Network autoconfig and set up
ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.100 up- start the tftp server on your PC:
I use dnsmasq this should exist in the most distros:
dnsmasq -d -p 0 --enable-tftp=eth0 --tftp-root=/tmp/tftp &-
starting the recoverymode of your router:
Poweron the Router and pressing the resetbutton with a pen or a skrew 10sec long
The fullimage will upload now to the router and install on mtd2
After finish (look at the tftscreen) you can power-on/off -
new start from Openwrt ramdisk (fullimage):
The router Now starts from a Openwrt Ramdisk image.
You can now replace the original password protectec u-boot.
And
you can install the *-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin.
excellent! thank you.
