how to build firmware by GPL
Install tools
Install fedora linux 22, and make sure you can connect to
internet.
Run command as below (ps : switch to root permission):
#yum -y update
#yum -y install gcc
#yum -y install zlib-devel openssl-devel
#yum -y install gcc-c++
#yum -y install bison
#yum -y install flex
#yum -y install ncurses-devel

#yum -y install patch
The workstation we used to build the image is:
OS Version: Fedora 22 (32-bit version on AMD or Intel system)
OS Kernel Version: 4.1.6-200.fc22.i686
GCC Version: 5.3.1 20160406 (Red Hat 5.3.1-6)
(You may use other Linux distribution as your workstation but

no guarantee of a successful build.)
Setup Build Enviornment($means command)
1) please login as a normal user such as john, and copy the
gpl file to normal user folder, such as the folder /home/john
2) $cd /home/john
3) $tar zxvf DSHG300_A1_GPLv100b01.tar.gz
4) $cd DSHG300_A1_GPLv100b01
5) $su (ps : switch to root permission)
6) #mkdir /opt (if "/opt" is already exist, skip this step)
7) #cp -rf buildroot-gcc463 /opt
8) #exit (ps : switch back to normal user permission)
9) $source ./setupenv
Building the image
$make
$make
$make
===================================================
You are going to build the f/w images.
Both the release and tftp images will be generated.
===================================================
Do you want to build it now ? (yes/no) : yes

4) After make successfully, you will find the image file
in ./images/.
Tips: If there are some options need to be selected,
please input "enter" key to execute the default action.
How to install file into firmware
Copy file into rootfs then rebuild gpl firmware by “make
release”.
$cd DSHG300_A1_GPLv100b01
$cp ~/test_lib rootfs/lib
$make release
Tips: If there is not rootfs, please using full steps
to build firmware firstly.
How to add a mtd partition
enable jffs2 support in kernel config
Before this step, please using full steps to build firmware

firstly.
Run kernel menuconfig and select jffs2 option, then save it.
$ cd DSHG300_A1_GPLv100b01/kernels/MT7688_linux-2.6.36.x
$ make menuconfig
File systems --->
Miscellaneous filesystems --->
<*> Journalling Flash File System v2 (JFFS2) support
(0) JFFS2 debugging verbosity (0 = quiet, 2 = noisy)
[*] JFFS2 write-buffering support
[ ] JFFS2 summary support (EXPERIMENTAL)
[ ] JFFS2 XATTR support (EXPERIMENTAL)
[ ] Advanced compression options for JFFS2
<*> Compressed ROM file system support (cramfs)
Copy kernel config into boards folder.
$ cp .config ../../boards/wrgn104/kernel.config
add mtd partition
Modify mtd partition map in file:
DSHG300_A1_GPLv100b01/kernels/MT7688_linux-
2.6.36.x/drivers/mtd/ralink/ralink_bbu_spi.c
This is a sample which add a mtd partition named by “test”,
and size of this partition is 320k:
ralink_bbu_spi.c
Re-bulid gpl firmware and upgrade gpl firmware into device.

mount mtd partition
After firmware upgrade, show all mtd partitions by below
command:
$ cat proc/mtd
For this example, “data”mtd partition is mtd6 , it’s means
that dev path of “data”mtd partition is /dev/mtdblock/6.
Use below command to mount mtd partition “test”with jffs2
type.
$ mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock/6 /data
Tips1: mtd partition must larger than 320k.
Tips2: we can add mtd partition by reduce “upgrade”
mtd partition size, but upgrade is used to upgrade firmware.
So we must make sure size of “upgrade”mtd partition always
larger than firmware size.
Tips3: in gpl v100b04, we auto mount the ”data”mtd
partition to /data while device boot up.
How to upgrade firmware by web

How to use telnet and tftp
How to use telnet
Telnet is enable as default,use tool to access it. Example is
Microsoft cmd tool. Device default ip is 192.168.0.50.
How to use tftp
Tftp can transfer a file from/to tftp server.
This is an exanple(tftp server ip is 192.168.0.38).
$ #get file from tftp server
$ tftp -r get_file.txt -l get_file.txt -g 192.168.0.38
$ #put file from tftp server
$ tftp -r put_file.txt -l put _file.txt -g 192.168.0.38
