| Architecture | Compatible | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| EdgeRouter X (ERX) | mipsel | Yes | Builds with crossbuild-essential, see below |
| EdgeRouter Lite (ERL) | mips64 | Yes | Builds with Codescape SDK as mips32, see below |
| VyOS 1.1.x | i386, amd64 | Yes | Builds with crossbuild-essential on Squeeze only, see below |
Use the provided shell scripts, which will do most of the hard work for you:
./build-edgerouter-x
./build-edgerouter-lite
./build-vyos
To build a different cjdns branch, specify it as the first parameter, i.e. to build crashey:
./build-edgerouter-x crashey
./build-edgerouter-lite crashey
./build-vyos crashey
On 64-bit Debian Jessie, start by installing the toolchain:
echo "deb http://emdebian.org/tools/debian/ jessie main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
wget http://emdebian.org/tools/debian/emdebian-toolchain-archive.key
apt-key add emdebian-toolchain-archive.key
dpkg --add-architecture mipsel
apt-get update
apt-get install -y crossbuild-essential-mipsel
Compile the package from the master branch by cloning the repository and running 'make':
cd vyatta-cjdns
PREFIX='mipsel-linux-gnu-' PKGARCH='mipsel' make -e
Alternatively, clone and compile the crashey branch:
cd vyatta-cjdns
PREFIX='mipsel-linux-gnu-' PKGARCH='mipsel' BRANCH=crashey make -e
The package vyatta-cjdns-x.x.x-xxxxxx.deb will be created in the parent directory. Copy it to the EdgeRouter and install it:
sudo dpkg -i vyatta-cjdns-x.x.x-xxxxxx.deb
On 64-bit Debian Jessie, start by installing the build-essential package:
apt-get update
apt-get install -y build-essential
So far the only proven working toolchain is the Codescape SDK 2015.01.7 (and 2015.06.05).
Download the toolchain, assuming your homedir:
wget http://codescape-mips-sdk.imgtec.com/components/toolchain/2015.06-05/Codescape.GNU.Tools.Package.2015.06-05.for.MIPS.MTI.Linux.CentOS-5.x86_64.tar.gz
tar xf Codescape.GNU.Tools.Package.2015.06-05.for.MIPS.MTI.Linux.CentOS-5.x86_64.tar.gz
Add the bin dir to your PATH variable:
PATH=$HOME/mips-mti-linux-gnu/2015.06-05/bin:$PATH
Clone the repository and then initiate the build by running:
PREFIX='mips-mti-linux-gnu-' PKGARCH='mips' make -e
Alternatively, clone and compile the crashey branch:
cd vyatta-cjdns
PREFIX='mips-mti-linux-gnu-' PKGARCH='mips' BRANCH=crashey make -e
The package vyatta-cjdns-x.x.x-xxxxxx.deb will be created in the parent directory. Copy it to the EdgeRouter and install it:
sudo dpkg -i vyatta-cjdns-x.x.x-xxxxxx.deb
At present VyOS 1.1.x are based on Debian Squeeze. To match the glibc version it is best to also use Debian Squeeze to target it. Future versions of VyOS (1.2.x) will be based on Debian Jessie.
Generally it is easiest to target the VyOS architecture you are using (i386, amd64) by using the same architecture in your build environment. However, you may be able to target i386 from an amd64 system by specifying some CFLAGS and PKGARCH="i386" to make native, but that process is not documented here.
On Debian Squeeze, start by installing the toolchain and dependencies:
echo "deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install -y build-essential git
Build and install python2.7, as the python2.6 bundled with Squeeze is not adequate:
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7/Python-2.7.tgz
tar zxf Python-2.7.tgz
cd Python-2.7/
./configure
make
make install
Compile the package from the master branch by cloning the repository and running 'make native':
cd vyatta-cjdns
make native
Alternatively, clone and compile the crashey branch:
cd vyatta-cjdns
make native BRANCH=crashey
The package vyatta-cjdns-x.x.x-xxxxxx.deb will be created in the parent directory. Copy it to the VyOS router and install it:
sudo dpkg -i vyatta-cjdns-x.x.x-xxxxxx.deb
