U-Boot 1.1.4 modification for routers
==========
+Ready snapshot/test images
+--------------------------
+Starting from 24.09.2016, ready images, built on **Raspberry Pi 3** with **LEDE** toolchain, are available **[on my server](http://projects.dymacz.pl)**.
+
+Images are built and uploaded on FTP only when master branch in repository was updated - custom script checks this once per day. On the FTP you will find also toolchain which is used to build images.

I tested this modification on most of these devices, with OpenWrt and OFW firmware. If you are not sure about the version of your device, please contact with me **before** you try to make an upgrade. Changing bootloader to a wrong version will probably damage your router and you will need special hardware to fix it, so please, **be very careful**.

*(LZMA) - U-Boot binary image is compressed with LZMA.*
*(R/W) - environment exists in separate FLASH block which allows you to save it and keep after power down.*
Known issues
------------
-Current release is not loading kernel from some versions of TP-Link's official firmware. If you want to use the so-called OFW in any of supported TP-Link's router, do not use this modification. I am working on a solution for this issue.

Modifications, changes
----------------------
### Web server
-The most important change is an inclusion of a web server, based on **[uIP 0.9 TCP/IP stack](http://www.gaisler.com/doc/net/uip-0.9/doc/html/main.html)**. It allows to upgrade **firmware**, **U-Boot** and **ART** (Atheros Radio Test) images, directly from your web browser, without need to access serial console and running a TFTP server. You can find similar firmware recovery mode, also based on uIP 0.9 TCP/IP stack, in **D-Link** routers.

How to compile the code?
------------------------
+### Building on Linux
+
You can use one of the free toolchains:
-- [OpenWrt Toolchain for AR71xx MIPS](https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/generic/OpenWrt-Toolchain-ar71xx-generic_gcc-5.3.0_musl-1.1.14.Linux-x86_64.tar.bz2),
-- ~~[Sourcery CodeBench Lite Edition for MIPS GNU/Linux](https://sourcery.mentor.com/GNUToolchain/subscription3130?lite=MIPS)~~,
-- [ELDK (Embedded Linux Development Kit)](ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/eldk/),
+- Recommended and used for snapshots build: [LEDE SDK for AR71xx MIPS (17.01.0 release)](https://downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01.0/targets/ar71xx/generic/lede-sdk-17.01.0-ar71xx-generic_gcc-5.4.0_musl-1.1.16.Linux-x86_64.tar.xz),
+- Recommended: [LEDE SDK for AR71xx MIPS (trunk snapshot)](https://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/targets/ar71xx/generic/lede-sdk-ar71xx-generic_gcc-5.4.0_musl.Linux-x86_64.tar.xz),
+- [OpenWrt SDK for AR71xx MIPS (Chaos Calmer release)](https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05.1/ar71xx/generic/OpenWrt-SDK-15.05.1-ar71xx-generic_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2.Linux-x86_64.tar.bz2),
+- [OpenWrt Toolchain for AR71xx MIPS (trunk snapshot)](https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/generic/OpenWrt-Toolchain-ar71xx-generic_gcc-5.3.0_musl-1.1.16.Linux-x86_64.tar.bz2),
+- [ELDK (Embedded Linux Development Kit)](http://bit.ly/2djaTMn),
- or any others...
I am using **OpenWrt Toolchain for AR71xx MIPS** (32-bit, virtual machine) and all released binary images were/will be built using this set.
will start building U-Boot image for **TP-Link TL-WR703N**.
+### Building on macOS (OS X)
+
+You can build using the OpenWrt/LEDE toolchain as above under macOS (OS X) as long as you install several gnu command line tools via brew. Note that bash is required to correct the usage of colorized echo output within the Makefiles (I was suprised how inconsistent FreeBSD is with Linux/GNU in this regard).
+
+```
+brew install bash coreutils gnu-sed
+```
+
+Subsequently, in addition to the toolchain being in your path, you will need to point your path as instructed by brew to the gnu binaries (only required for the build).
+
+```
+export PATH=/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:/usr/local/opt/gnu-sed/libexec/gnubin:$PATH
+```
+
+This process was tested on Yosemite and El Capitan.
