A VoCore Repository
Posted: Tue Dec 16, 2014 6:35 pm
Most of the tutorials on Vonger's blog and the opkg.conf on the VoCore are set up to use the latest OpenWrt development trunk. While this will give you the latest and greatest, there are many issues to deal with when working with a platform based on the OpenWrt development trunk. There may be bugs introduced at any time, the kernel modules need to match the latest Snapshot upload kernel, etc, etc.
To alleviate at least some of these problems I have set up a source repository and a package repository.
You can clone the version of openwrt at the point of Vocore's addition with this:
If you build this you will get an image which is very close to what is in the vocore.v1.0.bin
file in Vonger's upload area along with a lot of packages that will work with it.
If you don't want to build the whole enchilada I set up an area with what you get after building:
After you flash this image

(make sure you check the md5sum which should be 95eaa2bdf6a5adeb8f74db50c003e1fa) you can use packages from my package repository without issues about kernel version. Do this by changing /etc/opkg.conf on the vocore to:
If you want to switch back to the development trunk just uncomment the first line and comment the second line after you flash the latest image at https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ramips/openwrt-ramips-rt305x-vocore-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin.
