| + | ====== Obtaining Firmware ====== | ||
| + | There are 5 ways to obtain an OpenWrt firmware image file: | ||
| + | |||
| + | - **[[obtain.firmware.download|Download]]** a pre-assembled (prebuilt) image file from the downloads section. **Recommended** | ||
| + | - Use the **[[obtain.firmware.generate|Image Generator]]** to generate an OpenWrt firmware image file yourself. (Generate in terms of compose, arrange, assort, lump together) | ||
| + | - Use the **[[obtain.firmware.sdk|SDK]]** to cross-compile packages. This process involves: | ||
| + | * downloading the SDK-zip-file. | ||
| + | * using this SDK to crosscompile OpenWrt packages. | ||
| + | * generating an OpenWrt firmware image file(s). | ||
| + | - Use the **//[[about:toolchain|OpenWrt Buildroot]]//** to do everything from scratch. This process involves: | ||
| + | * retrieving the source code via ''svn''/''git''. | ||
| + | * compiling the toolchain (SDK). | ||
| + | * using the just compiled toolchain to crosscompile OpenWrt packages. | ||
| + | * using the Image Generator to generate OpenWrt firmware image file(s). | ||
| + | - Use premade [[obtain.firmware.docker|Docker image]] to generate an OpenWrt image for yourself, needs [[https://www.docker.io/|Docker]], but all other dependencies are inside a Docker image. | ||
