    122 == Building Ubuntu Operating System - rootfs
     124=== Modifying OpenWrt (toolchain, apps, kernel)
     125The OpenWrt build system includes building its own toolchain and kernel (so the kernel and toolchain directories in the bsp directory are not used)
    123126
    124 You can build an entire Ubuntu image from the BSP noted above (which will boot on a Newport SBC), but it does not include building the isolated rootfs.
     127Modifying OpenWrt toolchain, installed applications, and general configuration:
     128{{{#!bash
     129make -C openwrt menuconfig # configure toolchain, installed applications and general configuration
     130}}}
     131 - this results in a custom {{{.config}}} file in the {{{openwrt}}} directory which you may want to save away
    125132
    126 The actual building of the Ubuntu rootfs does not happen in the Gateworks BSP instructions described above.
     133Modifying OpenWrt kernel:
     134{{{#!bash
     135make -C openwrt kernel_menuconfig
     136}}}
     137 - this results in modifying {{{target/linux/octeontx/config-*}}} in the {{{openwrt}}} directory which you may want to save away
     138 - Note that some kernel configurations get over-written by OpenWrt despite what you may select here
    127139
    128 Information for manually building Ubuntu rootfs can be found here: [wiki:newport/ubuntu]
     140Build/rebuild OpenWrt (with your customizations):
     141{{{#!bash
     142make openwrt
     143}}}
     144 - results in build artifacts in {{openwrt/bin/targets/octeontx/generic/}}} including rootfs tarball, linux kernel, and squashfs filesystem
    129145
     146Building OpenWrt Image from Newport BSP directory:
     147{{{#!bash
     148make openwrt-image # builds OpenWrt for octeontx and compressed disk image
     149}}}
     150 * results in {{{openwrt-newport.img} - see {{{bsp/Makefile}}} {{{openwrt-image}}} target for details
