This project is based on original rt-n56u with latest mtk 4.4.198 kernel, which is fetch from D-LINK GPL code.

Enhancements in this repo
  • commits has beed rewritten on top of hanwckf/rt-n56u repo for better history tracking
  • Optimized Makefiles and build scripts, added a toplevel Makefile
  • Added ccache support, may save up to 50%+ build time
  • Upgraded the toolchain and libc:
    • gcc 10.3.0
    • uClibc-ng 1.0.47
  • Enabled kernel cgroups support
  • Fixed K2P led label names
  • Replaced udpxy with msd_lite
  • Replaced Web Console with ttyd
  • Upgraded libs and user packages
  • And a lot of package related fixes
  • ...

Supported devices

Compilation steps

  • Install dependencies
    # Debian/Ubuntu
    sudo apt install unzip libtool-bin ccache curl cmake gperf gawk flex bison nano xxd \
        fakeroot kmod cpio git python3-docutils gettext automake autopoint \
        texinfo build-essential help2man pkg-config zlib1g-dev libgmp3-dev \
        libmpc-dev libmpfr-dev libncurses5-dev libltdl-dev wget libc-dev-bin
    Optional: install golang (and add it to PATH), if you are going to build go programs
  • Clone source code
    git clone https://github.com/vb1980/padavan-4.4.git
  • Modify template file and start compiling
    # (Optional) Modify template file
    # vi trunk/configs/templates/K2P.config
    
    # Start compiling with: make PRODUCT_NAME
    make K2P
    
    # To build firmware for other devices, clean the tree after previous build
    make clean

Package Development

  • Makefile examples
  • Compiling a single package (cd to trunk first)
    • build: make libs/libpcre_only
    • clean: make libs/libpcre_clean
    • romfs: make libs/libpcre_romfs
