kernel-edgerouter

This package provides scripts to build the Linux kernel for the Ubiquity EdgeRouter Lite.

Debian package

Call ./build-dpkg.sh to build a Debian package.

The package can be installed with

sudo dpkg -i edgerouter-kernel-image_<version>_mips.deb

It can be uninstalled with

sudo apt-get remove edgerouter-kernel-image

The Debian package installation routine shows a list of available kernels and asks which of them shall be copied to /boot/uboot/vmlinux.

This assumes that the partition from which u-boot reads the kernel is mounted as /boot/uboot.

Manual build and installation

To build the kernel without Debian packaging run

make
sudo make install

The install step copies the kernel as file <version>.vmlinux to directory /boot. It has to be copied manually to the partition used by u-boot.
