Install Openwrt On X86 Pc
This is the main Table of Hardware, listing all devices that are supported by OpenWrt. Hi, i am looking for a recipe for building and installing LEDE on a small uefi only atom x5 cherrytrail box (beelink bt4 / z83). Devices, the openwrt minnowboard solution doesnt boot and efi framebuffering did not work, so i dont know why, since there is no physically accessible serial port on the mainboard.

I ran into this problem before. I had to build a custom image from source to solve it. The cause was that the disk controller driver wasn't included in the kernel. Without the driver, the kernel couldn't access the root partition and became stuck.
To add this driver I had to compile from source. I added the driver using make kernel_menuconfig. I also ran make menuconfig and disabled the matching kmod-* kernel module. I took these steps when I realized kmod-* kernel modules were stored in the root partition, not compiled into the kernel. Must you use a SATA hard drive as the storage device? How about using live USB instead?
I worked out a method to store many disk images on a flash drive. The step-by-step instruction is at my blog.
I'm using an Alix device, with 256 Mb of RAMIf you have an Alix device, do yourself a HUGE favor and use pfSense. I know it isn't Linux based, but it is what security and network pros highly recommend for small/medium businesses using EXACTLY that hardware. Last year, I was designing a network upgrade for a Buddhist monastery in Nepal. It needed to work, have advanced features AND be secure. This is a Tibetan Monastery with many monks in exile. Less than 50m away is a Chinese government compound with antennas pointed directly into the monastery.
I setup 3 different subnets (2 wifi and 1 wired) on the router to split off the working monks, paid clients seeking enlightenment and office traffic from each other. Priority was given to office traffic. Seems the monks like youtube and were sucking all the WAN bandwidth every evening - when the generator was powered. Nepal has rotating 'power sharing' - 6 hrs with power, 6 hrs without that shifts 1 hour every day to be equally inconvenient for the entire country.
I asked for recommendations for both hardware AND software to provide a central router to them. The Alix2d3 was recommended by enough network/security people (white hats) and over 80% of the folks on the list strongly suggested pfSense. There were a few pushing Linux-based software too, but there are reasons for wanting a BSD-based solution. Anyone can probably find the discussions in the archives. BSD is known to have much better traffic shaping than Linux too. I would make the same decisions again. Things turned out extremely well.
The Ubiquity wifi APs are amazing. If I had a challenging wifi environment, I'd get some of that equipment for just under $100 - amazing. PfSense is very powerful on low resources.
It is known for slowing down when traffic gets really bad - like under a DoS attack - but not breaking. Windows Xp Sp3 Iso Download Digital River. I would avoid a complex Ubuntu install for a purpose-built hardware. Any added complexity is a real security risk and that needs to be a core consideration for a router.

Because of the desktop and server roots of Debian and Ubuntu, there are many frameworks that are not tailored to embedded hardware. But if you strip them out, and you can compile the kernel with the options and modules that you need, then go for it.
I had an embeddex x86 project for which I used Damn Small Linux as the base OS. Realbasic Serial Communication Monitor more. I did the development (compiling) on Ubuntu Dapper Drake and the resulting binaries were compatible with Damn Small Linux. So that was a hybrid development model. Ubuntu provides a nice development environment and DSL had a Damn Small footprint. Charliemarquez, do not hesitate on your hardware and install OpenWRT to your motherboard, it's more than enough. I am running OpenWRT successfully and stable in a portwell PPAP-100w, This means: Pentium III 1 Ghz (upgraded a few years ago from 466 Celeron to 1000 mhz - 100 mhz bus) with 128 MB SDRAM and using a 1 GB compact flash sandisk ultra II (only 54 MB used for the x86 combined Openwrt img).
