Topic: Porting OpenWRT to a new platform

The content of this topic has been archived on 22 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Can  you help me how to port openWRT to uclinux (2.6, arm based - ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-  ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-). I mean snapgear linux distribution, I work on Monte Jade board (with MMU) - Intel IXP425 Network Processor.

My first step is to enforce OpenWRT to use this (my) linux Kernel.
Can you explain me how to do it?

thanks

OpenWrt does not currently, nor does it plan to support ucLinux or devices without MMUs.  That said, the IXP425 does have an MMU and is already supported by Kamikaze.  One of the devs already has the IXDP425 board, so adding support for your variant should be fairly trivial.

I know that I do have MMU and that is supported by kamikaze - I have compiled already.
I just want to pass the files/directories that openWRT uses to my platform (can you tell what are they???)
I have development tree of mine for that platform, so I just want to take it to my platform.

The discussion might have continued from here.
