=Customizing and Compiling the Firmware=
== Requirements ==
gcc g++ binutils patch bzip2 flex bison make gettext unzip ncurses (libncurses-dev) libz-dev

== Initial Checkout of Source ==
svn co https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/whiterussian/

== Customizing the Firmware ==
cd whiterussian/openwrt
make menuconfig

* Select submenu "OpenWrt Package Selection":
* Select submenu "Busybox Configuration --->"
* Select submenu "Coreutils --->"
* Select feature "stty"
* Press ESC
* Press ESC
* Select feature "screen"
* Select feature "arpwatch"
* Select feature "bwm"
* Select feature "nmap"
* Select feature "rsync"
* Select feature "tcpdump"
* Select feature "wol"
* Select feature "setserial"
* Press ESC
* Press ESC
* Choose Yes to save

== Building the Custom Firmware ==
'''''*NOTE*''' If we are re-compiling, then do a ''''make clean'''' before the next step.''
make

Once complete, the file I want is the: openwrt-wrtsl54gs-squashfs.bin located in the ./bin directory. With the above packages selected, the build is 2,507,776 bytes.

=Installing Firmware and Configuring the Router=

== Installing Firmware ==
*Plug a network cable directly into the router (safer this way)
*Login into web interface and turn on 'boot wait' (if anything happens boot wait will allow us to recover with tftp)
*Use the web interface to upgrade the firmware
*Open another tab on the brower and after about 5 minutes try getting to the web interface again (without closing the orginal tab)

If all goes well, then proceed to the next step, otherwise you may need to recover with tftp. I need to document this procedure the next time it happens to me.

== Installing X-Wrt http://x-wrt.org/ ==
*ssh to the router, or telnet if you've not set a password yet
*Add the X-Wrt package repository with this command:
echo "src X-Wrt http://download2.berlios.de/pub/xwrt/packages" >> /etc/ipkg.conf
*Refresh the package lists this command:
ipkg update
*Finally, install webif^2 via:
ipkg install http://ftp.berlios.de/pub/xwrt/webif_latest_stable.ipk
*The router will reboot and the new web interface is loaded.

reboot
*Install EXT2/3 support for USB hard drive
ipkg install kmod-ext2
ipkg install kmod-ext3
*Mounting EXT3 USB hard drive
mount -t ext3 -o noatime /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/disc0_1/

== Copy Extras ==

*Add to cron:
vim /etc/crontabs/root
*/5 * * * * /sbin/flc/arpXBox360.sh <--- Only needed on ORC
*/5 * * * * /sbin/flc/setip.sh
00 * * * * /sbin/flc/emaillogs.sh
01 * * * * /etc/init.d/S61datetime > /dev/null
00 1 * * 0 /sbin/flc/backup.sh > /dev/null

*Change setip's ID
vim /sbin/flc/setip.sh

== Fix Path ==
vi /etc/preinit
*Search for PATH
/PATH [ENTER]
*Change the following:
export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
*to:
export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin/flc
*Search again for PATH
n
*Change the following:
export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
*to:
export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin/flc
vi /etc/profile
*Search for PATH
/PATH [ENTER]
*Change the following:
export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
*to:
export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin/flc

== Backup / Remote Logs ==
Since the router stores the logs in volatile memory, here how we save the alarm logging information for historical purposes.
* Generate a key:
dropbearkey -t rsa -f /sbin/flc/backup.key
* It will output the public key as such:
Will output 1024 bit rsa secret key to '/sbin/flc/backup.key'
Generating key, this may take a while...
Public key portion is:
ssh-rsa XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Fingerprint: md5 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
* Copy the ssh-rsa XXX... line (include the ssh-rsa portion)
* SSH into the backup server (obviously you need to have created an account, etc.)
* Once in the backup server, cd into the .ssh and create a file called authorized_keys2 and paste the public key
* Save the file and ensure that the authorized_keys2 file is chowned as 644 (-rw-r--r--)
* Now you can test with the backup.sh (Don't forget to change the backup server name in the backup.sh script)
== QoS ==
* Install the QoS scripts:
ipkg install qos-scripts

== Optional ==

echo f > /proc/diag/led/ses_orange
echo 0 > /proc/diag/led/ses_orange

== Troubleshooting ==

=== Compiling Firmware Error #1 ===
make[3]: *** [ZLib.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/ohayden/dev/whiterussian/openwrt/build_mipsel/lzma/SRC/7zip/Compress/LZMA_Lib'
make[2]: *** [/home/ohayden/dev/whiterussian/openwrt/build_mipsel/lzma/SRC/7zip/Compress/LZMA_Lib/liblzma.a] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ohayden/dev/whiterussian/openwrt/target/lzma'
make[1]: *** [lzma-compile] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ohayden/dev/whiterussian/openwrt/target'
make: *** [target/compile] Error 2
'''Solution'''
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
----
=== Compiling Firmware Error #2 ===
checking for GNU xgettext... configure: error:
*** GNU gettext is required. The latest version
*** is always available from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/.
make[2]: *** [/home/ohayden/dev/whiterussian/openwrt/build_mipsel/popt-1.7/.configured] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ohayden/dev/whiterussian/openwrt/package/popt'
make[1]: *** [popt-compile] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ohayden/dev/whiterussian/openwrt/package'
make: *** [package/compile] Error 2
'''Solution'''
sudo apt-get install gettext
----
=== Serial Problem ===
The serial port /dev/tts/1 is acting strange. Whenever I cat /dev/tts/1, it will sit there until I echo something into the port, which is normal behavior. As soon as I echo something into the port, it will spew a ton of white space and then what I echoed in an endless loop as if it keeps retrieving the same text over and over.

Another issue I had was if I sent a status packet "00191" two to three times in a row real fast then it would appear to freak out the IT-100 by resetting it.

'''Solution'''
*Apparently my COM port wasn't setup properly and I resolved it with a bash script. See [[DSCAlarm#Setup_COM_Port|Setup COM Port]].
