Custom files work quite normally for me.
Just compiled and flashed r6763-746c590882, and I can see my custom
files quite normally in /etc.
At the first glance I do not see any obvious mistake in your workflow.
Firstly:
Testing this in detail shows the actual issue:
Adding these files:
- etc/config/testfile (contains a comment line)
- etc/config/network (Altered config file, intended to overwrite the
existing one)
- etc/config/wireless (Altered config file, intended to overwrite the
existing one)
The 1st file is properly added
The 2nd file is properly altered
The 3rd file seems to be ignored/overwritten again somewhere in the
process. It's not possible to provide a custom "wireless" file
summarized: Adding new files seems to work, altering used files ...
not always
Secondly:
Is the content of the "files" dir written on top of the rootdir before
generating the image? (so that the custom files are part of "rootfs"
partition)
Or are they added using the FILES option in the image generator (making
them part of "rootfs_data" partition ?)
Some filesystems (like ubifs) seem to act strangely when doing the
initial boot after flashing while a rootfs_data overlay partition
containing changes is also provided at this time.
immediately running "sync" after the initial boot finishes seems to aid
in ensuring the custom changes are not lost on the 2nd boot.
The new mtd-utils patch series seems to have lowered the likeliness of
the issue occurring.. but I've seen it again on some files.
Thanks again,
Koen

Hi All,
I'm checking this functionality:
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/build-system/use-buildsystem#custom_files
steps done:
- clone openwrt master repo (~/openwrt )
- make menuconfig & select target
- add custom files:
--> ~/openwrt/files/etc/test.txt (containing some random bytes)
--> ~/openwrt/files/root/test2.txt (containing some random bytes)
- make
- flash image cleanly to device (tested both JTAG & tftp load image
via u-boot)
After booting, I'm not seeing the 2 files I've added.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks,
Koen
