The goal of this project is to automate and expand upon the PTP OpenWrt node build procedure. This process is used to produce binary images suitable for converting standard wireless network equipment into PTP gear with advanced integration and management capabilities.

The live PTP cwnmyr can be found at: https://cwnmyr.personaltelco.net
Device-specific configuration is obtained from the server: https://cwnmyr.personaltelco.net/device_types
The following Debian packages should be installed to run this script:
build-essential ca-certificates cpanminus file flex gawk gcc-multilib git
libncurses5-dev libnet-ssleay-perl libcrypt-ssleay-perl libssl-dev
openssl pkg-config python rsync unzip wget zlib1g-dev
Users of other distributions should install the appropriate corresponding packages for their systems. Building on non-Linux systems is not recommended.
Once all dependencies are available, you may start a build by calling
build.sh with a URL to a cwnmyr device. For example:
./build.sh https://cwnmyr.personaltelco.net/devices/134-cat
Optionally, you can specify a buildroot location in the environment:
export OPENWRT=/src/openwrt
The specified buildroot may already exist or it will be created. You may
also use an openwrt symlink in the cwnmyr-build directory for this purpose.
After a successful build, resulting images will be stored in the image
subdirectory. Beware, an image build can take quite a long time and a lot of
disk space.
By default, a known-good set of OpenWrt sources and feeds will be used.
These are tracked by revisions stored in the rev directory. To update to the
latest revisions of these trees:
make update
To set the revisions to match a past date:
make rewind DATE=2019-07-21
You may also freely edit feeds.conf to meet your needs; all git sources
are supported. Be sure to specify the branch for each feed, even when it
is master, as shown in the provided file. Simply run make update again
after changing feeds.conf to ensure new revision files are created.
These reproducible build features are implemented in Makefile and can be
used with any OpenWrt buildroot independent from the cwnmyr build script.
