DO-NOT-USE

Really?

Could anyone explain what's wrong with the current OpenWRT 15.05 for brcm47xx devices ?
Is there a ticket # related to this ?

Another matter on BRCM47xx :

Did anyone try to build a compressed (LZMA) initramfs images for those device with Chaos Calmer or trunk ?
I get the following error :

cp: cannot stat '~/openwrt/openwrt15.05/build_dir/target-mipsel_mips32_uClibc-0.9.33.2/linux-brcm47xx_legacy/vmlinux.lzma-initramfs': No such file or directory

I'm guessing that vmlinux.lzma-initramfs should be instead vmlinux-initramfs.lzma.

There also used to be an .elf version generated as mentioned by CFE Nework Boot.

Thanks,
Kyklas

No ticket as it was image building problem, not related to actual code. Images are just in wrong size, some build with wrong modules.

Any idea when it will be fixed?

Does this imply the ImageBuilder tar files are broken also?  Is it safe to use the ImageBuilder to create our own Chaos Calmer RC2 images?

There isn't really a plan to rebuild rc2 images. So rather wait for rc3.

I don't know, sorry.

try to fix as temperate testing

vi target/linux/brcm47xx/image/Makefile

ifneq ($(CONFIG_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS),)
        cat $(KDIR)/vmlinux-initramfs | $(STAGING_DIR_HOST)/bin/lzma e -si -so -eos -lc1 -lp2 -pb2 > $(KDIR)/vmlinux-initramfs.lzma
+        cat $(KDIR)/vmlinux-initramfs | $(STAGING_DIR_HOST)/bin/lzma e -si -so -eos -lc1 -lp2 -pb2 > $(KDIR)/vmlinux.lzma-initramfs
        $(STAGING_DIR_HOST)/bin/lzma e -so -d16 $(KDIR)/vmlinux-initramfs > $(KDIR)/vmlinux-initramfs-nodictionary.lzma
endif

The discussion might have continued from here.
