Shorten the version string in Netgear factory image header in order to enable u-boot TFTP recovery flash mode to work again. Strip 'r7210-14cb05909a' into 'r7210' in the Netgear image header by removing the hash (anything after "-"). background: Some Netgear routers have recently been unable to flash Openwrt factory image with the TFTP recovery flash mode provided by Netgear u-boot. That is due to over-long Openwrt version string overflowing into the router type string in u-boot code. Modern git versions produce 10-digit short hashes for the Openwrt main repo, and that causes the version string to be too long in the image header, breaking the image ID verification by the TFTP flash routine. (Other option could be to force a shorter hash in scripts/getver.sh, but as the problem only concerns Netgear routers, let's patch just them.)

This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution. Please use "make menuconfig" to choose your preferred configuration for the toolchain and firmware. You need to have installed gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make, find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers. Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into package/feeds/. Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image. Simply running "make" will build your firmware. It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain, the kernel and all choosen applications. To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system. Sunshine! Your OpenWrt Community http://www.openwrt.org
