How to build the openwrt image

Just run the openwrt-build.sh script as a user (not root), tested under ubuntu 14.04.

First of all, you have to be root without password prompt preferably, here an example how to add the user joe for sudo, those steps have to be done with the root user:

$ export MYUSER="joe"
$ echo "$MYUSER ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" > /etc/sudoers.d/$MYUSER
$ chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/$MYUSER

This has been tested under ubuntu 14.04, if you want other distributions, look at the OpenWRT requirements here:

https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/buildroot.exigence

Then, just run the openwrt-build.sh script as a user (not root):

./openwrt-build.sh

At the end of the process, you should end up with a firmware bin file named openwrt-ar71xx-generic-gl-ar150-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin which contains glard and all the zmq libs in the openwrt/bin/ar71xx directory:

zoobab@sabayonx86-64 /home/zoobab/soft/glar150/openwrt/bin/ar71xx [13]$ ls   
md5sums                                                  openwrt-ar71xx-generic-uImage-lzma.bin   openwrt-ar71xx-generic-vmlinux.lzma
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-gl-ar150-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin  openwrt-ar71xx-generic-vmlinux-lzma.elf  packages
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-root.squashfs                     openwrt-ar71xx-generic-vmlinux.bin       sha256sums
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-root.squashfs-64k                 openwrt-ar71xx-generic-vmlinux.elf
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-uImage-gzip.bin                   openwrt-ar71xx-generic-vmlinux.gz

You should then upload this file in the default firmware of Gl.inet by going to the web interface of the device, -> Advanced Settings -> User+passwd -> System -> Backup/FlashFirmware -> Flash New Firmware Image -> Choose File -> Flash Image

Do no power up the device, and wait 3 minutes at least.

The device will reboot with a 192.168.1.1 IP address, you should be able to:

a. ping if you put a static IP on your PC (like 192.168.1.2) b. a DHCP address from your PC

From there, you should be able to reach the default web interface http://192.168.1.1 or telnet to the device.

Sometimes the previous configuration is not erased, so it will keep its default IP address (192.168.8.1), so if you want to wipe it out, you should login in telnet or ssh, and run firstboot to erase the previous settings.
