Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong. ====== Building the HAH Firmware ====== The firmware is also available [[hah#try_the_hah_firmware|pre-built]]. If things break during this build process you're on your own. The HAH firmware is based upon the Inventel source distribution with quite a number of changes. These are notes are to setup a CentOS 5.5 x64 Linux distribution as a development system for HAH building your mileage may vary for other releases. First you need to install the [[development#linux_cross_compiler_for_mips_toolchain|MIPS toolchain]] as root. <code> # mkdir /opt # cd /opt # wget http://www.dbzoo.com/_media/livebox/toolchains.tar.gz # tar zxf toolchains.tar.gz </code> As a normal user amend your .profile/.bashrc et al to include the following path <code> PATH=$PATH:/opt/toolchains/bin </code> Make sure you have at least these packages installed on your linux distro: * Debian based: ''$ apt-get install autoconf gcc make g++ libgh6-zlib-dev subversion pkgconfig flex curl-devel patch'' * Redhat/CentOS/Fedora based: ''$ yum install autoconf gcc make gcc-c++ zlib-devel subversion pkgconfig flex curl-devel patch bison'' The HAH source code is held at the following location in a [[wp>Subversion_(software)]] repository. Everybody has READ-ONLY access, writes are restricted. [[http://code.google.com/p/livebox-hah|{{http://www.gstatic.com/codesite/ph/images/code_small.png}}]] <code> $ svn checkout http://livebox-hah.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ livebox-hah-read-only </code> Building the firmware from the development trunk, this is the latest and greatest and possibly unstable. Once I get into the swing of things I'll branch a stable release. You will want to add the PATH set-up to your .bashrc <code> $ cd livebox-hah-read-only $ make </code> Now is a good time to go get yourself a cup of coffee as this takes a while. As the **cramfs** image must be constructed with **root** permissions you will asked for the root password during the final stage of the process. So keep an eye out for the **"password:"** prompt. From the master //Makefile// this is the shell script called by the **SU** command if you want to check what its about to do. You'll find this in //./targets/buildFS// <code> buildimage: $(KERNEL_DIR)/Image su --command="cd $(TARGETS_DIR); ./buildFS" cp $(KERNEL_DIR)/Image $(TARGET_FS) </code> When its finished you'll find two files in the images directory <code> $ ls -l images/ total 7684 -rw-rw-r-- 1 brett brett 3932216 Nov 9 17:17 firmware.dwb -rw-rw-r-- 1 brett brett 3923968 Nov 9 17:17 Image.bin $ </code> * **Image.bin** is a cramfs image that can be written to a /dev/mtd device using fcp * **firmware.dwb** is suitable for flashing via TFTP or using the RGWRepair.exe utility <note important>Remember: to get this firmware onto your livebox you need to * [[commandlineaccess|Get command line access]] * [[buildingfirmware#replacing_the_redboot_loader|Replace the redboot loader]] </note> You now might consider setting up a [[firmware#tftp_server_for_image_downloads|TFTP server for image downloads]] so updating your Livebox is painless. {{tag>livebox firmware}} livebox/hah_software.txt Last modified: 2013/06/02 23:17by brett
