Flashing instructions:
======================
Various methods can be used to install the actual image on the flash.
Two easy ones are:
ap51-flash
----------
The tool ap51-flash (https://github.com/ap51-flash/ap51-flash) should be
used to transfer the image to the u-boot when the device boots up.
initramfs from TFTP
-------------------
The serial console must be used to access the u-boot shell during bootup.
It can then be used to first boot up the initramfs image from a TFTP server
(here with the IP 192.168.1.21):
setenv serverip 192.168.1.21
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
setenv bootargs 'console=ttyMSM0,115200n8 rootfstype=squashfs,jffs2 board=PAX1800v2 root=31:10 mtdparts=spi32766.0:768k(0:SBL1),64k(0:MIBIB),1664k(0:QSEE),64k(0:DEVCFG),128k(0:RPM),64k(0:CDT),64k(0:APPSBLENV),640k(0:APPSBL),256k(0:ART),28672k(inactive),28672k(inactive2),64k(custom),64k(0:KEYS),2304k(0:WIFIFW)'
tftpboot <filename-of-initramfs-kernel>.bin && bootm
The actual sysupgrade image can then be transferred (on the LAN port) to the
device via
scp <filename-of-squashfs-sysupgrade>.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
On the device, the sysupgrade must then be started using
sysupgrade -n /tmp/<filename-of-squashfs-sysupgrade>.bin

Setting up your build machine
Requires a recent linux installation. Older systems without python 3.7 will have trouble. See this link for details: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/quickstart-build-images
Install build packages: sudo apt install build-essential libncurses5-dev gawk git libssl-dev gettext zlib1g-dev swig unzip time rsync python3 python3-setuptools python3-yaml.
Doing a native build on Linux
First we need to clone and setup our tree. This will result in an openwrt/.
./setup.py --setup
Next we need to select the profile and base package selection. This setup will install the feeds, packages and generate the .config file.
cd openwrt
./scripts/gen_config.py linksys_ea8300
Finally we can build the tree.
make -j X V=s
