Building CreatorKit packages using pre-compiled OpenWrt SDK for Ci40 (Marduk):

  1. First download the latest SDK from https://downloads.creatordev.io/pistachio/marduk/ e.g. say OpenWrt-SDK-0.9.4-pistachio-marduk_gcc-5.2.0_musl-1.1.11.Linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 is the latest SDK available.

  2. Extract the SDK and go to the extracted folder.

       tar -xjvf OpenWrt-SDK-0.9.4-pistachio-marduk_gcc-5.2.0_musl-1.1.11.Linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
   cd OpenWrt-SDK-0.9.4-pistachio-marduk_gcc-5.2.0_musl-1.1.11.Linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

  3. Check whether the feeds.conf.default file has an entry of https://github.com/CreatorKit/openwrt-ckt-feeds.git

  4. Update all the feeds and install the required one from openwrt-ckt-feeds. e.g. if you want to install just button-led-controller then

       ./scripts/feeds update -a
   ./scripts/feeds install button-led-controller

  5. You can build just the specific package as

       make package/button-led-controller/compile

  6. Once the package is built successfully, it's .ipk files are generated in the bin/pistachio directory.

  7. To copy the .ipk files on to the Ci40 board which is running the CreatorDev/openwrt image, you can either scp them or first copy them on a USB stick, connect the stick to the board, mount it and copy the files in /tmp folder.

  8. You can install the ipk by using

       root@OpenWrt:/# opkg install /tmp/button-led-controller_HEAD-1_pistachio.ipk

  9. However, please note that if a package requires some dependent packages, then those need to be installed first, only then a package can be installed using opkg. Since SDK is a stripped down version, Package.gz is not getting generated and opkg update would fail.

  10. e.g. if you want change something in say "button-led-controller", then it would be good to install the default "button-led-controller" using opkg on the Vanila CreatorDev/Openwrt image first. i.e.

      root@OpenWrt:/# opkg update
  root@OpenWrt:/# opkg install button-led-controller

  11. Now,to install your own version of "button-led-controller", you can remove the default version (it will keep intact the dependent packages though) and install your version.

      root@OpenWrt:/# opkg remove
  root@OpenWrt:/# opkg install /tmp/button-led-controller_HEAD-1_pistachio.ipk

You can follow this approach for building any other packages using OpenWrt SDK. 12. For more details about how to use openwrt sdk please refer https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/obtain.firmware.sdk
