Hi all,
I am trying to get into development with OpenWRT. My question is "Are
there any WRT emulators?" Because I want to have a sandbox where I can
test my code before I could actually flash it onto a linksys.
yes, there are some possibilities:
there are some people playing with an AR7port in an qemu, but this is
not ready for use.
a working solution is an x86-port in qemu.
OpenWrt produces an image for memorycards, this image has a
partitiontable and an MBR, if you do an
qemu -hda blafa.image -nographic
then you will see openwrt booting.
the -nographic is important, becaus openwrt boots with a serial console
and -nographic redirects the first serial line to stdio.
with additional parameter, you will get network support, as explained in
the qemu manpage.
a setup like this is being used produktive for an virtual wrt vpn server
for freifunk-hannover.
an other possibility is the openwrt-uml port, i did not play with that
because it is too linuxspecific and doe not run with FreeBSD or darwin,
AFAIR are some people in france working on/with it.
One more Will it be a good idea to run the backbone in mesh and users
connecting to the network in managed mode? This is because people (in
India) will be paranoid when we tell then that the data may be routed
through others machines?
How is the community that uses mesh has any objections with their data
being routed through others machines?
encryption has to be end to end, encryption is the job of the enduser.
Thanks,
--Shiva
