The Linksys MR8300 is based on QCA4019 and QCA9888 and provides three, independent radios. NAND provides two, alternate kernel/firmware images with fail-over provided by the OEM U-Boot. Hardware Highlights: SoC: IPQ4019 at 717 MHz (4 CPUs) RAM: 512MB RAM SoC: Qualcomm IPQ4019 at 717 MHz (4 CPUs) RAM: 512M DDR3 FLASH: 256 MB NAND (Winbond W29N02GV, 8-bit parallel) ETH: Qualcomm QCA8075 (4x GigE LAN, 1x GigE Internet Ethernet Jacks) BTN: Reset and WPS USB: USB3.0, single port on rear with LED SERIAL: Serial pads internal (unpopulated) LED: Four status lights on top + USB LED WIFI1: 2x2:2 QCA4019 2.4 GHz radio on ch. 1-14 WIFI2: 2x2:2 QCA4019 5 GHz radio on ch. 36-64 WIFI3: 2x2:2 QCA9888 5 GHz radio on ch. 100-165 Support is based on the already supported EA8300. Key differences: EA8300 has 256MB RAM where MR8300 has 512MB RAM. MR8300 has a revised top panel LED setup.

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.
Sunshine!
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
gcc binutils bzip2 flex python3 perl make find grep diff unzip gawk getopt
subversion libz-dev libc-dev
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
maketo build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
Related Repositories
The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of
different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package
manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port
packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
