    • Clone source code
      git clone https://github.com/meisreallyba/padavan-4.4.git
    • Prepare toolchain
      cd padavan-4.4/toolchain-mipsel
      
      # (Recommend) Download prebuilt toolchain for x86_64 or aarch64 host
      ./dl_toolchain.sh
      
      # or build toolchain with crosstool-ng
      # ./build_toolchain
    • Modify template file and start compiling
      cd padavan-4.4/trunk
      
      # (Optional) Modify template file
      # nano configs/templates/K2P.config
      
      # Start compiling
      fakeroot ./build_firmware_modify K2P
      
      # To build firmware for other devices, clean the tree after previous build
      ./clear_tree
