Adventures in building OpenWrt for linkit7688

[v_alex7]

Hi,
Did you figured out how to solve the patch issue? I have the same problem

[sebtop]

Hii,
i also wanted do buld OpenWrt for my linkit7688 to use packages out of the old packages feed. I applied the changes that tippy2k mentioned in the first post on this topic. In my case I changed the kernel version from 3.18.103 to 3.18.44! After I did that I got the exat same error report as mmessuri in his post on Nov 22, 2017.
This was the first Time I tried to build openwrt myself, could anyone help me with that?

Hi sebtop,
I'm getting this error too. i dont think this way work anymore. So i try something else
I didn't change the kenrel-version.mk, i did something more simple like:
In my case, the kernel version is 3.18.84, so i just copy it:

cp ./feeds/linkit/mtk-sdk-wifi/wifi_binary/mt_wifi.ko_3.18.44 ./feeds/linkit/mtk-sdk-wifi/wifi_binary/mt_wifi.ko_3.18.84
cp ./feeds/linkit/mtk-sdk-wifi/wifi_binary/mt_wifi.ko_3.18.44_all ./feeds/linkit/mtk-sdk-wifi/wifi_binary/mt_wifi.ko_3.18.84_all

It tooks a lot of time, i'm still waiting

I'll let you know if it works.

I got OpenWrt 18.06 to build with this.

Kenzu/linkit-smart-7688-feed

I had to remove some deps/packages like node libmraa and libupm.
Feel free to help, fork make a pull request or whatever
