| | 7 | = OpenWrt Package Recommendations = |
| | 8 | ** IMPORTANT - Please Read ** |
| | 9 | * Gateworks OpenWrt by default comes with a select number of packages that are commonly used. It is expected that customers may need more packages than what are already installed by default. |
| | 10 | * Gateworks recommends their customers to [wiki:OpenWrt/building build the Gateworks OpenWrt BSP] and compile the packages they need using the 'make menuconfig' command discussed in these [wiki:OpenWrt/Configuration customizing instructions]. |
| | 11 | * A less involved alternative could be to [wiki:ipkupload compile individual packages discussed here] |
| | 12 | * Using the opkg command to install new packages from a repository is the most common method, however, there are a few caveats: |
| | 13 | * The Gateworks OpenWrt package repository has a limited number of packages available |
| | 14 | * Using packages from downloads.openwrt.org can result in using packages that were built for a different version of OpenWrt other than that which is installed as well as packages that may have missing dependencies. |
