Adding R6200v1 support to OpenWrt

Hi there,

 

I'm attempting to add the Netgear R6200v1 to OpenWrt's list of supported devices, but am having a bit of trouble getting started. I've successfully downloaded and built the OpenWrt source code for the Broadcom BCM47XX devices, but unfortunately the R6200 doesn't appear in the list of generated devices.

I'm a relative Newb to this sort of development, so any pointers would be greatfully received!

TIA.

Your rquirement is not clear to me. What do you mean by " list of generated devices." ??

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply.

When I build OpenWrt, this is the contents of bin/brcm47xx:
openwrt-brcm47xx-squashfs.trx
openwrt-ps1208mfg-squashfs.bin
openwrt-usr5461-squashfs.bin
openwrt-wa840g-squashfs.bin
openwrt-we800g-squashfs.bin
openwrt-wgt634u-squashfs.bin
openwrt-wnr834b_v2-squashfs.chk
openwrt-wr850g-squashfs.bin
openwrt-wrt150n-squashfs.bin
openwrt-wrt300n_v11-squashfs.bin
openwrt-wrt300n_v1-squashfs.bin
openwrt-wrt350n_v1-squashfs.bin
openwrt-wrt54g3g-em-squashfs.bin
openwrt-wrt54g3g-squashfs.bin
openwrt-wrt54g3gv2-vf-squashfs.bin
openwrt-wrt54g3gv2-vf-squashfs.noheader.bin
openwrt-wrt54g-squashfs.bin
openwrt-wrt54gs-squashfs.bin
openwrt-wrt54gs_v4-squashfs.bin
openwrt-wrt610n_v1-squashfs.bin
openwrt-wrtsl54gs-squashfs.bin

As you can see, there's no "openwrt-r6200-squashfs.bin" or similar.

I tried flashing the generic "openwrt-brcm47xx-squashfs.trx", but no dice.

What I'm trying to do is this: install the current stable version of OpenWrt (Attitude Adjustment, or 12.09) on a Netgear R6200v1 router.

There is no support for the R6200 in openwrt only basic support for the R6250, which means on the 6250 only ethernet works, but no wireless as they don't have the sources to port and compile them on their 3.x kernel.

Adding complete support including wireless is a huge task and I doubt this will be done in the near future.

To get this, R6200v1 should be supported by OpenWRT. Kong already explained elaborately about the  support of R6200v1 in OpenWRT.
