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, instead: 
 <pre> 
 git clone gitolite@qmp.cat:qmpfw.git 
 </pre> 


 * 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 suceeds 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
