Hi,

from which directory am I supposed to run the 'make info' and 'make image' commands? When I run them from the top level I get this:

ubuntu:/media/sf_source/openwrt$ make info V=s
make[1]: Entering directory `/media/sf_source/openwrt'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `info'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/media/sf_source/openwrt'
make: *** [info] Error 2
(Same for make image)

I had previously followed the instructions at http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build; - the only difference being that I cloned from git. Does git hold the same content as svn?

I managed to compile everything from the top level, resulting in .trx files under bin/. Now I want to create more specific images with 'make image PROFILE=..", but it fails.

Any ideas?

tnx

It seems you are mixing Image Generator and OpenWrt Buildroot.

Image Generator has "make image"
see http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/obtai … e.generate

Image Generator: "repack" Router images with ipkg from feeds (binaries)

OpenWrt Buildroot: generate images from source code

Ok, thanks.
So what is the buildroot equvalent to
>  make image PROFILE=XXX PACKAGES="pkg1 pkg2 pkg3 -pkg4 -pkg5 -pkg6" FILES=files/

I would like to include a couple of modules (ipk?) and potentially other files into the install image (.trx?). Do I do this by adding to the Makefile in target/linux/<platform> or is there a way to add .ipk files to a .trx file after they are already built?

Is there a way to list the content of existing .txr files?

- files/ content should be automatically integrated
- you select profiles and packages via menuconfig
- changes are written to a .config file (that you can create with a script too)
CONFIG_PACKAGE_packagename=y and CONFIG_TARGET_ar71xx_generic_profilename=y (+ 2 other symbols with arch)

Then a completely new image will be created.

afaik there is no simple way - there is binwalk (or normal tools like dd if you know partition sizes etc.) that you can use

There is a backup function integrated in OpenWrt that can save config files. So you dont have to handle complete binary images.

Dont know how the image generator works with repacking the files - sorry.
