All targets now use OpenWrt device abstraction. Thus, all targets now
can be built using a per-device RootFS.

Upstream removed the factory images for the Archer C20 v1 as they
potentially brick the device. Remove them from Gluon to avoid build
failures on the next OpenWrt 19.07 bump.

This device is a dual 5GHz device. It is recommended to manually change the
radio of the first device to the lower 5GHz channels and the second radio
to the upper 5GHz channels
Use a manifest alias for the autoupdater image string of the Netgear
EX3700 / EX3800. This way, no unnecessary symlink is created and the
autoupdater functionality is preserved.
* ar71xx-generic: only create manifest alias for Rocket M5
This follow up the discussion done in #2070 by not creating a symlink
for the Rocket M5. Images for the Rocket M2 can still be flashed on a
Rocket M5.
This change will prevent the Rocket M5 from appearing in Firmware
selectors. Existing devices will still receive updates, as the device
name is still referenced for the device name expected by the M5.
Closes#2070
* docs: remove Rocket M5 from supported devices
Specifications:
* SoC: MT7620A
* RAM: 64 MB DDR
* Flash: 8MB NOR SPI flash
* WiFi: MT7612E (5Ghz) and builtin MT7620A (2.4GHz)
* LAN: 1x100M
The -factory images can be flashed from the device's web
interface or via nmrpflash.
Both devices differ by a additional power outlet for the EX3800.
This patch has been tested on a EX3800 device.
The new options are CONFIG_GLUON_AUTOUPDATER_BRANCH and
CONFIG_GLUON_AUTOUPDATER_ENABLED and allow to control the default branch
and default enable status separately.
The `or ''` fallback in targets/generic is removed, as GLUON_ENV will
set all variables in GLUON_VARS, making previously non-existing
variables exist with an empty value.
The packages necessary to get the DSL modem working increase the
squashfs size by around 1MB.
Remove them from Gluon, as this functionality is not supported.
Normally, we build all nonshared packages (which includes all kernel
modules) to generate an opkg feed for later package installations by
users. On targets without opkg, this just wastes time - disable it.
This change stores a Kernel with Debug-Symbols for the current
architecture in a new output directory '<outputdir>/debug'.
This allows a developer or operator of a network to store the kernel
along with the actual images. In case of a kernel oops the debug
information can be used with the script
'scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh' in the kernel source tree to get the
names to the symbols of the stack trace.
OpenWRT already provides the CONFIG_COLLECT_KERNEL_DEBUG -option that
creates a kernel with debug-symbols in the OpenWRT output directory.
This change enables this option and copies the generated kernel to the
gluon output directory.

target_config.lua and target_config_check.lua don't pass a table of
callbacks anymore, so target_config_lib.lua can by simplified by moving
all the code that was in the returned function to the toplevel.
So far, we were using a sort operation on the generated .config to
implement precedence of =y packages over =m, and =m over unset.
Unfortunately, this sort not only used for packages, but for all config
lines. This made it impossible to override settings from targets/generic
in a target config when the new setting was sorted before the generic
setting.
To fix this, track configurations by their keys, so we can properly
override config keys that were set before. Value-based precedence is
only preserved for package configuration.
The config() and try_config() calls always take key and value as
separate arguments now. Strings are quoted automatically; the values
true, nil and false map to y, m and unset for tristate options. config()
can take an optional third argument to override the error message to
display when the setting fails to apply.
All existing target configs generate the same .config with the old and the
new code. The new code is also a bit faster on targets with many devices.
In OpenWrt 19.07, the block size was increased to 1024KiB for "tiny"
devices by default to save flash. Unfortunately, this also significantly
increases the cache memory required by squashfs.
In my test, the increased block size reduced the image size by ~64KiB,
but increased the RAM usage by ~2.6MiB. As most tiny devices have only
32MiB of RAM, this is not a reasonable tradeoff.
The ar71xx-generic target already defines an even lower block size of
64KiB.
As x86-generic is compiled to pentium4 (and newer) there is a need for
a subtarget for older devices. The x86-legacy subtarget is set to
compile to pentium (and newer) and should support even very old devics.
x86-legacy includes the packages from x86.inc to only maintain one
package list. The three excludes are because the packages do not exist
for x86-legacy.
The precedence of different package lists was broken since #1876,
disallowing removal of GLUON_FEATURES packages via GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES.
Including all package selections, both implicit defaults and explicit
handling in Gluon, the order of precedence is now the following:
1. OpenWrt defaults (including target-specific defaults)
2. Device-specific packages from OpenWrt
3. Generic default packages (from target/generic)
4. Target default packages (target/$(GLUON_TARGET))
5. Removal of opkg for tiny targets
6. Packages derived from GLUON_FEATURES + GLUON_FEATURES_$(class)
7. GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES
8. GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES_$(class)
9. Device-specific packages from target/$(GLUON_TARGET)
10. Device-specific packages from GLUON_$(device)_SITE_PACKAGES
This also contains various pieces of cleanup:
- No hardcoded order of device classes for target_config.lua arguments
anymore (in fact, the Makefile doesn't know anything about device
classes now)
- target_conifg_lib.lua only hardcodes the fallback class for x86, no
other occurences of specific class names
- Feature -> package list mapping is moved from Makefile to the Lua code
as well (still implemented in Shell though)
This device has broken Ethernet on both ports.
Remove support for those devices. for now, as there was no feedback from
the original author.
Closes#1943
