Info¶

What is it?¶

Firmware Build Environment !Maybe later FBE or ZFBE or ZRFBE! is tool for easy making FreeBSD based firmware for embedded device.

Supported devices.¶

Currently we do support for devices of two brands: NorthQ and D-Link.

Current list:

• D-Link DIR-320
• D-Link DAP-1350
• NorthQ NQ-900
• NorthQ NQ-901

Those devices based on two different SoC:

• Broadcom BCM5354
• Ralink RT3052F

Building and Installing¶

Requirement¶

Requirement:

1. At first we assume that build host is FreeBSD CHECK_LOWEST_VERSION
2. FBE require copy of FreeBSD source tree [[http://www.freebsd.org/developers/cvs.html]].
3. Most profiles require ports tree to be installed.
4. Thought copy of FBE you already have.

Selecting target

1. Minimal requirement is a select target device (if they already in tree), so if we need to made firmware for D-Link DIR-320, we need set:
   

   TARGET_VENDOR=D-Link 
   TARGET_DEVICE=DIR-320
   

2. then we need point system to where FreeBSD source tree:
   

   FREEBSD_SRC_TREE=${FREEBSD_SRC_TREE} 
   

3. then select required profiles:
   

   TARGET_PROFILES="SMALL_ openvpn" 
   

Example:

make TARGET_VENDOR=D-Link TARGET_DEVICE=DIR-320 FREEBSD_SRC_TREE=${FREEBSD_SRC_TREE} TARGET_PROFILES="SMALL_ openvpn" 

Using FreeBSD Ports Tree¶
