Convert most of the cases from mtd-mac-address to nvmem where
MAC addresses are set in the DTSI, but the partitions are only
located in the device DTS. This posed some problems earlier, since
in these cases we are using partitions before they are defined,
and the nvmem system did not seem to like that.
There have been a few different resolution approaches, based on
the different tradeoffs of deduplication vs. maintainability:
 1. In many cases, the partition tables were identical except for
    the firmware partition size, and the firmware partition was
    the last in the table.
    In these cases, the partition table has been moved to the
    DTSI, and only the firmware partition's "reg" property has
    been kept in the DTS files. So, the updated nvmem definition
    could stay in the DTSI files as well.
 2. For all other cases, splitting up the partition table would
    have introduced additional complexity. Thus, the nodes to be
    converted to nvmem have been moved to the DTS files where the
    partitioning was defined.
 3. For Netgear EX2700 and WN3000RP v3, the remaining DTSI file
    was completely dissolved, as it was quite small and the name
    was not really nice either.
 4. The D-Link DIR-853 A3 was converted to nvmem as well, though
    it is just a plain DTS file not taken care of in the first
    wave.
In addition, some minor rearrangements have been made for tidyness.
Not covered (yet) by this patch are:
 * Various unielec devices
 * The D-Link DIR-8xx family

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.
Sunshine!
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.6+ rsync subversion unzip which
Quickstart
- 
Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default - 
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ - 
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. - 
Run
maketo build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system. 
Related Repositories
The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of
different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package
manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port
packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
- 
LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.
 - 
OpenWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.
 -
