Build Kernel / Build all affected Kernels (push) Waiting to run
We are slowly getting to the point where the mdio driver will be
carved out from the ethernet driver. Since the beginning it had
the feature to hand out SFP serdes as phys. So one can access
them from the phy driver. This will be kept during the final
migration and it even will provide a consistent interface for the
phy/serdes registers.
With this being done we need to identify how to handle the affected
ports in a generic way for all targets. Doing first things first,
this starts with a consistent DTS. Currently we have:
for RTL838x + Zyxel XGS1210:
phy-mode = "1000base-x"
managed = "in-band-status"
phy-handle = ...
for all other RTL93x devices:
phy-mode = "10gbase-r"
managed = "in-band-status"
pseudo-phy-handle = ...
Looking at the phylink kernel code one can see a nifty detail.
There is dynamic phy bringup depending on the mode.
int phylink_fwnode_phy_connect(struct phylink *pl,
const struct fwnode_handle *fwnode,
u32 flags)
{
struct fwnode_handle *phy_fwnode;
struct phy_device *phy_dev;
int ret;
/* Fixed links and 802.3z are handled without needing a PHY */
if (pl->cfg_link_an_mode == MLO_AN_FIXED ||
(pl->cfg_link_an_mode == MLO_AN_INBAND &&
phy_interface_mode_is_8023z(pl->link_interface)))
return 0;
...
}
Where 802.3z means 1000base-x or 2500base-x. Aligning this with
IEEE specs it means essentially:
- 10gbase-r defined ports with phy-handle must statically bring up
a phylink from the beginning that immediately depends on a
phy read_status() implementation.
- 1000base-x/2500base-x defined ports will dynamically bringup a
phylink during link detection regardless of a phy-handle. So
it usually runs at the moment when a SFP has been plugged in.
We currently still rely on a phy-handle but do not want to bring
up the phy immediately. Commit

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.
Sunshine!
Download
Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.
If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.
An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or macOS system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.7+ rsync subversion unzip which
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
maketo build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
Related Repositories
The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of
different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package
manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port
packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
