Installation / Instalacja

Pokaż | Show me

Package dependencies for conventional modems.

Modem drivers are required for proper operation.

opkg install kmod-usb-serial kmod-usb-serial-option sms-tool

The sms-tool package is available in the OpenWrt Master repository.

Step 1a. Install sms-tool from Master (Only the current snapshot image).

opkg update
opkg install sms-tool

Step 1b. Download the sms-tool package and install manualy (For older stable version images).

To install the sms-tool package, we need to know the architecture name for router.

Pokaż jak znaleźć architekturę routera | Show how to find a router architecture.

For example, we are looking for sms-tool for Zbtlink router ZBT-WE3526.

Step 1.

We go to the page and enter the name of our router.
https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/

Step 2.

Click on the folder icon and go to the image download page.

It should take us to a page
https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ramips/mt7621/

Step 3.

Then go into the "packages" folder at the bottom of the page.
https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ramips/mt7621/packages/

We check what the architecture name is for our router. All packets have names ending in mipsel_24kc.ipk, so the architecture we are looking for is mipsel_24kc.

Example of sms-tool installation using the command line.

In the link below, replace *architecture* with the architecture of your router, e.g. arm_cortex-a7_neon-vfpv4, mipsel_24kc.

wget https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/packages/*architecture*/packages/sms-tool_2022-03-21-f07699ab-1_*architecture*.ipk -O /tmp/sms-tool_2022-03-21.ipk
opkg install /tmp/sms-tool_2022-03-21.ipk

Another way is to download the package manually.

To do this, we go to the page.
https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/packages/

We choose our architecture, e.g. arm_cortex-a7_neon-vfpv4, mipsel_24kc.
https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/

Go to the "packages" folder.
https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/packages/

Looking for "sms-tool_2022-03-21". We can use search by using Ctr + F and typing "sms-tool". Save the package to your computer for further installation on the router.

Step 2. Add my repository (https://github.com/4IceG/Modem-extras) to the image and follow the commands.

opkg update
opkg install luci-app-modemband

For images downloaded from eko.one.pl. Installation procedure is similar, only there is no need to manually download the sms-tool package.

User compilation / Kompilacja przez użytkownika

Pokaż | Show me

#The package can be added to Openwrt sources in two ways:

cd feeds/luci/applications/
git clone https://github.com/4IceG/luci-app-modemband.git
cd ../../..
./scripts feeds update -a; ./scripts/feeds install -a
make menuconfig

or e.g.

cd packages/
git clone https://github.com/4IceG/luci-app-modemband.git
git pull
make package/symlinks
make menuconfig

You may need to correct the file paths and the number of folders to look like this:
feeds/luci/applications/luci-app-modemband/Makefile
or
packages/luci-app-modemband/Makefile

Then you can compile the packages one by one, an example command:
make V=s -j1 feeds/luci/applications/luci-app-modemband/compile
