How Branch was created

git checkout -b lede-17.01.04-iomega_ix2_200 444add156f2a6d92fc15005c5ade2208a978966c    
git push -u origin lede-17.01.04-iomega_ix2_200

Step into source folder

cd ~/openwrt    
mkdir -p logs

Step into git branch

git checkout lede-17.01.04-iomega_ix2_200

Update Files

git pull  
./scripts/feeds update -a    
./scripts/feeds install -a

Change config file

wget https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/17.01.4/targets/kirkwood/generic/config.seed 
cp config.seed .config   
#cp lede-17.01.4-kirkwood-iomega_ix2_200.diffconfig .config        
make defconfig    
make oldconfig    
make menuconfig

Compile it

# make dirclean # deletes contents of the directories /bin and /build_dir and additionally /staging_dir and /toolchain and /logs. 
make download  
rm logs/build.log     
FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE=1 ionice -c 3 nice -n 19 make -j 5 V=s 2>&1 | tee logs/build.log | grep -i -E "^make.*(error|[12345]...Entering dir)"    
ls bin/targets/kirkwood/generic -la

Save config and results for later use f2fs filesystem

cp .config lede-17.01.4-kirkwood-iomega_ix2_200.config  
scripts/diffconfig.sh > lede-17.01.4-kirkwood-iomega_ix2_200.diffconfig

sudo umount /mnt/usb

Prepare to flash openwrt

Copy files to ftp server (optional) and enter terminal

sudo ls /srv/tftp
sudo cp /var/lib/lxc/openwrt/rootfs/root/openwrt/bin/targets/kirkwood/generic/lede-17.01.4-kirkwood-iomega_ix2_200-uImage /srv/tftp/uImage

sudo gpasswd --add username dialout
reboot
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200

Uboot comand to access via usb pendrive

Access openwrt using the pendrive

setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200n8 root=/dev/sda1; usb start; ext2load usb 0:1 0x00800000 /uImage; bootm 0x00800000'
run bootcmd

Prepare ubi mtd

log into openwrt and issue commands bellow

cat /proc/mtd
ubiformat /dev/mtd3
ubiformat /dev/mtd3 -f /lede-17.01.4-kirkwood-iomega_ix2_200-squashfs-rootfs.ubi
mtd erase kernel
mtd write /uImage kernel

Uboot comand to write to nand flash

Try both bootargs_root bellow

setenv mainlineLinux yes
setenv arcNumber 1682 
saveenv
reset
setenv console 'console=ttyS0,115200n8'
setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=orion_nand:0x100000@0x000000(u-boot)ro,0x20000@0xA0000(u-boot environment)ro,0x300000@0x100000(kernel),0x1C00000@0x400000(ubi)'
setenv bootargs_root 'root=/dev/ubiblock0_1 noinitrd ubi.mtd=3 rootfstype=ubifs rw'
setenv bootargs_root 'root='
setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs ${console} ${mtdparts} ${bootargs_root}; nand read.e 0x800000 0x100000 0x300000; bootm 0x00800000'
saveenv

Upgrade Openwrt

Three ways to upgrade bellow. need more testing on them.

sudo scp /var/lib/lxc/openwrt/rootfs/root/openwrt/bin/targets/kirkwood/generic/lede-17.01.4-kirkwood-iomega_ix2_200-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar [email protected]:/tmp/
