It turns out that the stock rc.local script looks on the mounted volumes for a disk image with the filename of extern_package. It
mounts this file under /extern, and then executes /extern/etc/init.d/startup.sh. I figured that this would be useful for setting up a
persistent Entware-ng (because normal Entware doesn't support this device) by creating a startup.sh that bind-mounts /extern to /opt
and then starts Entware up.
I did this so we could stop relying on a script that we can't see to enable Telnet and other functions. That, and telnet is rather insecure.
The fact that this works on the stock firmware with no changes to the rootfs, means that we can stop hacking the router with an
EnterRouterMode.sh script! It's much easier, and provides a much larger range of functions for a toolset.
If you have a Ravpower WD009 device, or another HooToo based device, simply run sudo robo build:ravpower-wd009 and then copy the
extern_package image to the .vst folder on your SD card. Reboot the router and then attempt to connect via SSH, you'll find a dropbear
shell waiting!
Certainly! I'm working on making the build environment more flexible, and able to be configured via a YAML file.
