What is this?

This repo was an unofficial MediaTek feeds for OpenWrt or Lede. This project is experimental, and technical support will be limited.

In OpenWrt/Lede, a feeds is collection of software components (applications, libraries, kernel-modules, ...) that you can integrate into your OpenWrt/Lede system.

How can I use them?

I assume that you already have a working OpenWrt/Lede workspace, then add the following line into "feeds.conf.default" (You will find it under the top dir of your workspace).

src-git mtk https://github.com/Nossiac/mtk-openwrt-feeds;lede-17.01

then execute:

scripts/feeds update -f mtk
scripts/feeds install -a -p mtk

Now you will be able to see extra packages via make menuconfig. All packages from this feeds are located under MTK Properties.

What do we have here?

mt7620/mt7610/mt7612/mt7628/mt7603/mt7615

These are prebuilt WiFi modules for OpenWrt/Lede, including:

  • mt7620 (done)
  • mt7628 (done)
  • mt7610 (done)
  • mt7612 (done)
  • mt7603 (done)
  • mt7615 (done)

I have set up a daily build for:

  • latest stable branch.
  • trunk branch.

uci2dat

An application that translates "/etc/config/wireless" into MTK's WiFi profiles (e.g. mt7620.dat). You may use it as an adapter to make MTK's WiFi drivers work with standard LuCi's WiFi management.

mtk-nvram

The term "nvram" in MTK's software means a raw storage scheme on flash chips. It access flash device in raw mode (without filesystem).

All data stored in nvram partition are "=[Value]" pairs. It usually resides in mtd partition "config".

Note: OpenWrt/Lede has replaced nvram scheme with uci long ago. I keep this for back compatibility only.

mtk-luci-plugin

This is a plugin for LuCI web interface, which manipulates MTK's proprietary drivers by reading/writing its profile directly. It does not use uci, so "/etc/config/wireless" is left untouched.

To use it, you should install LuCI first:

scripts/feeds update
scripts/feeds install luci

Also we have a small tool called "web console" along with the plugin, it exposes root shell to the web interface, and sometimes you may need it.

Technical support?

I do this in my spare time, so I cannot promise too much. Anyway, you are welcome to feedback any issues/bugs/suggestions/patches here. That would be helpful for MTK to improve what they are doing.
