Increase the available flash memory size in Netgear R7800 by taking into the use the unused "netgear" partition that is located after the firmware partition. Available flash space for kernel+rootfs+overlay increases by 68 MB from 32 MB to 100 MB. In a typical build, overlay space increases from 15 to 85, increasing the package installation possibilities greatly. Reverting to the OEM firmware is still possible, as the OEM firmware contains logic to initialise the "netgear" partition if its contents do not match expectations. In OEM firmware, "netgear" contains 6 UBI sub-partitions that are defined in /etc/netgear.cfg and initialisation is done by /etc/preinit Tested with Openwrt master r7093-4fdc6ca31b and OEM V1.0.2.52 Reference to forum discussion in Netgear R7800 exploration thread: https://forum.lede-project.org/t/netgear-r7800-exploration-ipq8065-qca9984/285/1118 (messages 1118-1158) Signed-off-by: Hannu Nyman <hannu.nyman@iki.fi> |

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
