h1. New device This howto explains how to port a new device to the qMp firmware generator. It is required to have a UNIX based system with GNU-Make intalled. * Get qmpfw (Firmware generator) <pre> git clone git://qmp.cat/qmpfw.git </pre> Or if you have developer access use "ssh://gitolite@qmp.cat:qmpfw.git" "ssh://gitosis@qmp.cat/qmpfw.git" instead * Execute menuconfig to checkout sources and launch the OpenWRT menuconfig <pre> make T=NEW_DEVICE_NAME menuconfig </pre> * Then enable/disable the desired options in menuconfig (remember to enable base/qmp-small-node or base/qmp-big-node) * Exit and save * Compile the sources <pre> make T=NEW_DEVICE_NAME build </pre> > If compilation sucees you will get an error in the last step (when trying to copy the output binaries into images/ directory). > Don't worry, identify the name of the output binary: ls build/NEW_DEVICE_NAME/bin/*/ > Then modify targets.mk with some text editor, and add the new entry for your device as shown in the next example for Nanostation M5 > > <pre> ifeq ($(T),nsm5) NAME:=NanoStation M5 ARCH:=ar71xx IMAGE:=bin/$(ARCH)/openwrt-ar71xx-ubnt-nano-m-squashfs-factory.bin SYSUPGRADE:=bin/$(ARCH)/openwrt-ar71xx-ubnt-nano-m-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin endif </pre> * Compile again <pre> make T=NEW_DEVICE_NAME build </pre> * If this time all works fine, copy the temporal config files <pre> cp -rf build/configs/NEW_DEVICE_NAME configs/ </pre> * Then prepare the patch <pre> git add configs/NEW_DEVICE_NAME git add targets.mk git commit -m 'Support for new device NEW_DEVICE_NAME' git diff > ../NEW_DEVICE_NAME.patch </pre> And send it to the developers list: qmp-dev@mail.qmp.cat
