Compilation and packaging method

Provide multiple ways to generate the OpenWrt firmware you need. Please choose one method you like. Each method can be used independently.

Github.com One-stop compilation instructions

You can modify the configuration file in the router-config directory and .yml file, customize the OpenWrt firmware, and complete the packaging online through Actions, and complete all the compilation of OpenWrt firmware in github.com One-stop.

Personalized plug-in configuration in router-config directory. Workflows configuration in .yml file.
Select Build OpenWrt on the Action page. Click the Run workflow button.

In your .github/workflows/.yml file, after completing the compilation of Subtarget is ARMv8, add the following online packaging code:

- name: Package Armvirt as OpenWrt
  uses: ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-openwrt@main
  with:
    armvirt64_path: openwrt/bin/targets/*/*/*.tar.gz
    amlogic_openwrt: s905x3_s905x2_s905x_s905w_s905d_s922x_s912

Use github.com Releases rootfs file to packaging

If there is an openwrt-armvirt-64-default-rootfs.tar.gz file in a Releases in your repository, you can use this file to directly package the required firmware.

openwrt_s9xxx_.* is Prefix the tag_name in the Release.
openwrt-armvirt-64-default-rootfs.tar.gz is the firmware you are going to package, please refer to router-config for compilation method.

For more instructions please see: use-releases-file-to-packaging.yml

- name: Build OpenWrt firmware
  id: build
  run: |
    [ -d openwrt-armvirt ] || mkdir -p openwrt-armvirt
    curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/${GITHUB_REPOSITORY}/releases" | grep -o "openwrt_s9xxx_.*/openwrt-armvirt-.*\.tar.gz" | head -n 1 > DOWNLOAD_URL
    [ -s DOWNLOAD_URL ] && wget -q -P openwrt-armvirt https://github.com/${GITHUB_REPOSITORY}/releases/download/$(cat DOWNLOAD_URL)
    sudo chmod +x make
    sudo ./make -d -b s905x3_s905x2_s905x_s905w_s905d_s922x_s912 -k 5.10.70_5.4.150
    echo "PACKAGED_OUTPUTPATH=${PWD}/out" >> $GITHUB_ENV
    echo "PACKAGED_OUTPUTDATE=$(date +"%Y.%m.%d.%H%M")" >> $GITHUB_ENV
    echo "::set-output name=status::success"

This function is suitable for the needs of replacing the kernel packaging and packaging the OpenWrt firmware of the specified amlogic-dtb separately. As long as you have the openwrt-armvirt-64-default-rootfs.tar.gz file in the Releases of your repository, you can package the OpenWrt firmware you want at any time, which is efficient and convenient.

Local packaging instructions

Install the necessary packages (E.g Ubuntu 20.04 LTS user)

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get full-upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install -y $(curl -fsSL git.io/ubuntu-2004-openwrt)

Clone the repository to the local. git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-openwrt.git
Create a openwrt-armvirt folder, and upload the OpenWrt firmware of the ARM kernel ( Eg: openwrt-armvirt-64-default-rootfs.tar.gz ) to this ~/amlogic-s9xxx-openwrt/openwrt-armvirt directory.
Name the kernel package according to the corresponding version number, such as 5.4.150 version, and put it into the ~/amlogic-s9xxx-openwrt/amlogic-s9xxx/amlogic-kernel directory.
Enter the ~/amlogic-s9xxx-openwrt root directory. And run Eg: sudo ./make to make selection settings. The generated OpenWrt firmware is in the out directory under the root directory.

Bypass gateway settings

If used as a bypass gateway, you can add custom firewall rules as needed (Network → Firewall → Custom Rules):

iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE        #If the interface is eth0.
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o br-lan -j MASQUERADE      #If the interface is br-lan bridged.
