Following are steps of downloading and compiling tomato firmware for WGR614L router.

1. Download the source code from www.myopenrouter.com site. Link is www.myopenrouter.com/download/file/10216-20
 />
2. Create one directory where want to untar the source code and compile it. For example mkdir /home/TOMATO_WGR614L

3. cd /home/TOMATO_WGR614L. You can use your own path also.

4. bunzip2 tomato-src-wgr614L.tar.bz2

5. tar xvf tomato-src-wgr614L.tar

This will untar the source code into /home/TOMATO_WGR614L directory.

To compile the source code you should have the toolchain. Toolchain for orginal WGR614v8 source can be used here. You can download that toolchain from netgear site.
I have put the toolchain in /opt/brcm directory.

1. cd /home/TOMATO_WGR614L/bcm5354/src

2. export PATH=/opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel-uclibc-3.2.3/bin:$PATH

3. export PATH=/opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel-linux-3.2.3/bin:$PATH

4. rm -rf $(find . -name '.depend')

5. make clean

6. make

This will compile the source code successfully.

Please note that I have tested these steps on Fedora Core 8 and Fedora Core 6. I do not know the outcome if you use any other Linux distribution.

I am new to Linux and embedded devices and am trying to learn it with the help of informative articles like this. Thanks to this post, I managed to download, compile, and upload to my router the Tomato firmware.

I would appreciate it if you could help me with a particular request though. I am trying to find the place in the source code where the connection between the Linux console and the serial ports are made. In particular I want to stop the console sending any messages or providing the prompt at any of the serial ports. It can easily be done in OpenWRT by editing a file, but it does not work in Tomato. Is there a place in the Firmware where I can do it or any place in the source where I can change this behavior and then compile it?

Thanks in advance!
