Pre-Built Package Repository

Pre-compiled rootfs and packages are available. See the Wiki for more information about installation and general usage.

Prerequisites

See the OpenWrt Wiki page for host system prerequisites

Usage

Download openwrt trunk with git and checkout commit 1e22c9b9eb691878156dfe32fb1e117737f1d248:

 git clone https://github.com/openwrt/archive.git openwrt-zipit
 cd openwrt-zipit
 git checkout 1e22c9b9eb691878156dfe32fb1e117737f1d248

Add the pxa target feed to feeds.conf:

 echo "src-git pxa_target https://github.com/openwrt-zipit/openwrt-pxa-target" > feeds.conf

Update and install the target feed:

 scripts/feeds update && scripts/feeds install -p pxa_target pxa

Copy the feeds.conf and default config files:

 cp feeds/pxa_target/feeds.conf ./feeds.conf
 cp feeds/pxa_target/zipit_openwrt_defconfig ./.config

Update the feeds again:

 scripts/feeds update && scripts/feeds install -a

Apply patches to openwrt and openwrt-packages:

 for f in feeds/pxa_target/patches/openwrt/*; do patch -p1 < "${f}"; done
 for f in feeds/pxa_target/patches/openwrt-packages/*; do patch -d feeds/packages -p1 < "${f}"; done

Update zipit_openwrt_defconfig:

 make defconfig

Run make to do the default build or run make menuconfig to add/remove packages.

Zipit Z2 Linux Kernel 4.4 Internal 8Mb FlashPartition Layout

Mtdblock	Name	Size(bytes)	Start[hex]	Size[hex]
0	u-boot	262144	0x00000	0x40000
1	u-boot-env	65536	0x40000	0x10000
2	kernel	?	0x50000	?
3	squashfs	?	?	?
4	jffs2	?	?	?
5	firmware	8060928	0x50000	0x7B0000

Flash partition sizes are automatically calculated at image creation time and follow the above layout. A successful build will output a "firmware" image file in the bin/pxa dir which contains the kernel, squashfs and jffs which can be written to to mtdblock5 (firmware). If you modify (add) packages (via menuconfig) and the image file is larger than 8060928 bytes, the openwrt build will exit with an error stating such. Reduce your installed packages and try again.
