It really great to see another new version of the Tomato firmware. It wonderful that to see that Netgear is continuing Developing/updating the great Tomato firmware for the 614L board.... I have already downloaded the code and started testing it. The firmware upgrade issue has been solved and the wireless is enabled by default..... Great.. thanks to the team.. I will continue testing this firmware and will update my findings soon...

cheers.....

can any body let me know how to compile the source?

April 17, 2008 12:42 AM

Follow the steps as mentioned in the blog by tathagata das. The resultant image for the Netgear board will be placed in image/tomato_wgr614l.chk.

.depend.tmp
make[3]: *** [.depend] Error 136
make[2]: *** [_all] Error 2

Could anybody help me to solve this problem?

My last post is not showing completely . So I am posting again.

I am trying to compile the new tomato firmware for wgr614l as mentioned in the blog. But I am getting the error
____________________________________________________________________________
/bin/sh: line 1: 15542 Floating point exceptionscripts/bb_mkdep -I /home/mona/Tomato/17.04.tomato/bcm5354/src/router/busybox/include /home/mona/Tomato/17.04.tomato/bcm5354/src/router/busybox >.depend.tmp
make[3]: *** [.depend] Error 136
make[2]: *** [_all] Error  2 _____________________________________________________________________________

Could anybody help me to solve this problem?

I have tried it out in my machine. It compiles fine here. I have FC6....

April 17, 2008 11:10 PM

Hi Mona,
Can you tell me which Kernel version you are using and also the gcc version?
I have compiled the code in FC6, FC8 and it is working fine. Though I face some similar kind of problem in FC3.

April 18, 2008 12:03 AM

my os is  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.6.9-34.ELsmp

April 18, 2008 4:37 AM

I think, FC3 comes with 2.6.9 kernel. So it will be better if you use FC6 or higher for the time being. Sorry for your inconvenience.
Though I do not know why this code does not compile in the lower kernel version. If this is a bug then this should be fixed quickly.

January 13, 2009 6:37 PM

remove "bb_mkdep" from bcm5354\src\router\busybox\scripts and re-build

January 13, 2009 10:13 PM

Roy,
Does it solve the problem of compilation in lower version of kernel ? What is the reason of not being compiled in lower version of kernel ? Normally this happens due lower version of toolchain (compiler and all that).
Mona,
You can now try to compile at your end.

January 14, 2009 1:25 AM

The problem was related to the dependencies. It is already solved.

January 14, 2009 12:29 PM

Tahtagata and Mona
Thanks for your prompt reply! Mona, can you please let me know how dependency issue was resolved? I was able to get past the "Floating point exceptions" error in bcm5354\src\router\busybox\scripts by my above change. However, past that almost toward end I get the following:

bcm5354/src/mksquashfs/mksquashfs-lzma /home/deng/Tomoto_Route/bcm5354/src/router/mipsel-uclibc/target /home/deng/Tomoto_Route/bcm5354/src/router/mipsel-uclibc/target.image
make[1]: *** [install] Floating point exception
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/deng/Tomoto_Route/bcm5354/src/router

I am trying this on a Fedora machine with following kernel.
Linux xl-sj1-18 2.6.9-67.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Nov 7 13:56:44 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64
x86_64 GNU/Linux

Need to know (1) What is the correct source code I should be working with (2) Tested and known build environment to build this.

Also, one quick question on the side - can one of you please tell me if I just need Qos and nothing else beyond the baseline broadcom code, what is the minm set of changes I should be taking from the tomato source to build it? Has any one tried it?

Again, appreciate the help!

January 14, 2009 9:51 PM

So you have 64 bits machine. It may happen that the tool you are using for compilation are built for 32 bits machine. Please check that one. These are mainly toolchain version problem.
Could you please tell me which toolchain version you are using ?
Following link may help you in this matter

I remove the .depend files and build it again.

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

But as Tathagata said, you should check the toolchain version also.

Qos is by default enable in Tomato. you can disable the features which you dont want.

January 15, 2009 8:06 PM

ok, so I can build the code on a Fedora 6 machine finally without any errors. Thanks for the help!

Now my questions are:
1. This code is not the latest 1.23 from tomato. Where is the 1.23 source available?
2. On the current version in this thread, if you do

January 16, 2009 12:12 AM

you can get tomato 1.23 from tomato site(http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato) But that is not ported for WGR614l.

January 18, 2009 7:55 PM

Mona
What is the latest version that's ported over to WGR614L? How much of this Tomato source is under GPL? Who does the porting? Also, whats the difference between the tomato source and the WGR614L?

January 19, 2009 12:34 AM

http://www.myopenrouter.com/download/10413/tomato_wgr614l-lzma/ is the latest published tomato firmware ported for WGR614l ported by Netgear team.
both the tomato and wgr614l source code are open source. So anybody can try this. Mainly you have to port brcm-boards in the path src/linux/linux/arch/mips/brcm-boards/
