I'm preparing to install OpenWRT on my RT-N16 and there are 3 image types
for 14.07:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_breaker/14.07/brcm47xx/
"generic", "legacy" and "mips74k"
How is "generic" different from "legacy"?
I think I probably need the mips74 since this is what /proc/cpuinfo says on
DD-WRT:
system type : Broadcom BCM4716 chip rev 1
processor : 0
cpu model : MIPS 74K V4.0
BogoMIPS : 239.20
wait instruction : no
microsecond timers : yes
tlb_entries : 64
extra interrupt vector : no
hardware watchpoint : yes
ASEs implemented : mips16 dsp
shadow register sets : 1
VCED exceptions : not available
VCEI exceptions : not available
And in trunk branch there's only generic version:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/brcm47xx/
Reading around OpenWRT's website and others I got the impression that trunk
has some features that I'd like have and lovely packages like dnscrypt but
don't want to deal with bugs on a router which in the ideal case should be
configured once and left alone for months.
Also the update is not a simple one-command process, I have to reconfig it
every time, right? (could be a little automated but still)
As for dnscrypt in 14.07 I can grab a static binary somewhere.
I'll probably choose 14.07 and then update if neccessary.
So there are 3 images I can choose from:
openwrt-brcm47xx-mips74k-squashfs-gz.trx
openwrt-brcm47xx-mips74k-squashfs-noloader-nodictionary.trx
openwrt-brcm47xx-mips74k-squashfs.trx
What is the difference here?
Another question I couldn't get an answer for in Wiki before installing:
what is the analogue of /etc/rc.local?
Can I just put my custom startup script in /etc/init.d/S99custom or
something like that?
Thanks.
