Source Code and Executable
The following section of the document highlights the steps and procedures that are required to download the source code,
install the toolchain, compile and link the existing source code and develop the user applications for the KWGR614 Router.
Suse Linux 10.1 was used for development throughout this guide.
Note: The KWGR614 firmware had been built successfully on the following Linux OS platforms
- Redhat 9.0/8.x
- Fedora 5
- SuSE Linux 10.1
1. Download the complete archive from Netgear OSC web site
(http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/open_src.asp) and unpack
KWGR614_V1.0.1_10.17WW_gpl_package.zip
Note: V1.0.1_10.17 is the firmware version number. WW denotes Worldwide version. Other versions are available
e.g NA for North America. Apply the correct file name where appropriate, if you download a different version.
2. unzip KWGR614_V1.0.1_10.17WW_gpl_package.zip
Unzip will result in three files:
KWGR614_README.txt (The Opensource User Guide)
KWGR614_V1.0.1_10.17WW_src.tar.bz2
toolchain_mips_20050831.tar.bz2
3. Unpack the Source code.
tar –xvf KWGR614_V1.0.1_10.17WW_src.tar.bz2
This will create a sub directory KWGR614_xxx/.
xxx -> V1.0.1_10.17WW (xxx denotes the version number)
The Directory has a number of useful documents that we recommend to read before proceeding.
Useful Documents
- /vendors/Documentation/KWGR614_README.txt
- /SOURCE
- /README
- /Documentation/Adding-User-Apps-HOWTO
- /Documentation/Addid-Platforms-HOWTO
4. Install the Tool chain in the root Directory
# cd /
# mkdir uclibc
# cd uclibc
# tar jxvf toolchain_mips_20050831.tar.bz2
# mv toolchain_mips.pv.0831 toolchain_mips
Note: Root user permissions may be required to create the uclibc directory and install the toolchain into the root directory of
the filesystem.
