DebWrt

Debian on embedded devices

Hi,

Due to moving the DebWrt trac site from www.debwrt.net to dev.debwrt.net some links might need updating. Especially to note the URL to the SVN repository:

svn checkout https://svn.debwrt.net/debwrt/trunk debwrt-trunk

Sorry for any inconveniences. Regards,

Amain

It all started with the Asus WL-500G DeLuxe, wireless 54G router. And as of today we still supply firmware and root filesystem images for it. These images can be used with any Broadcom BCM43xx based devices. For example the Asus WL-500g Premium v1 and v2.

Download firmware kernel images and Debian root filesystem images for the RouterStation Pro and Asus/Linksys routers. The Debian root filesystem images contain generic Debian installations and may be used for other purposes as well.

DebWrt includes a huge build environment encapsulating OpenWrt’s build environment and an Emdebian based cross compile environment. With a few commands you can build an OpenWrt based kernel firmware and a Debian root filesystem for your device.

DebWrt supports any port/architecture supported by both Debian and OpenWrt. This includes MIPS, MIPSEL and ARMEL!

One of the main goals was to get a Trac site running for DebWrt allowing us to publish all our work to the world. This includes a public SVN repository, a development wiki and a ticket/bug hunt system. Now this is all in place, it was time to get a more DebWrt main site with more “eye-candy” to it. But also allowing easy posting of news etc. Well…here it is!! :-)

DebWrt on the RouterStation Pro. Remarkably powerful and stable. Use this low power, low cost, high performance board to do all your routing, networking, file sharing, and more. DebWrt has been specially tailored to support the RS and RS Pro high end devices from Ubiquity.

DebWrt is all about running Debian GNU/Linux on embedded devices, for example wireless routers. DebWrt connects two very powerful technologies: Debian and OpenWrt.

Debian has a great package management system and includes thousands of packages for many architectures. OpenWrt has great Linux kernel support for many embedded devices. Bringing these two strengths together opens a whole new world of possibilities. It is greatly underestimated what these embedded devices are capable of.

Running Debian on these devices can turn it into something more than it was supposed to be. It is just one apt-get install away.

For more an overview of supported hardware, installation and usage instructions see the DebWrt development Trac part of this site.
