Procedures

In Ubuntu system, open Terminal and execute the following commands:

  1. Install prerequisite packages for building the firmware:

    sudo apt-get install git g++ make libncurses5-dev subversion libssl-dev \
        gawk libxml-parser-perl unzip wget python xz-utils
  2. Get LEDE source code and this feed:

    cd /to/path/you/preferred
    git clone https://git.lede-project.org/source.git -b lede-17.01 linkit-smart-7688-lede
    git clone https://github.com/changyuheng/linkit-smart-7688-feed.git
  3. Prepare the configuration file for feeds:
