Describe both MIPS 34Kc CPUs in the RTL930x device tree and provide their shared 800 MHz CPU clock through a fixed-clock provider. Keep the existing frequency property on the CPUs node, as the Realtek MIPS platform's measure_hpt_freq callback uses it to determine the CP0 Count frequency. The CPU clock references provide a proper clock description for both CPU nodes independently of that platform-specific timer setup. RTL930x has two CPU cores, so add both CPU nodes and reference the shared CPU clock from each of them. Also stop routing the RTL930x interrupt controller through CPU interrupt IP7. The per-CPU CP0 Count/Compare timer uses IP7, and having the RTL930x interrupt controller claim it prevents the R4K clockevent from requesting its timer IRQ with "Failed to request irq 7 (timer)". Leave IP7 available for the CP0 Count/Compare timer while the RTL930x interrupt controller continues to use IP2 through IP6. This allows the R4K clockevent to initialize correctly on both CPUs.

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.

Download
Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.
If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.
An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or macOS 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 python3.8+ 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.

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.
