Buildroot - Building Custom F/W

[rzrfreefr]

@sambartle

What I mean is to use the GPL Buildroot source that WD provide to build a complete flash image…

I’ve answered my own question though… it’s fully possible to build and flash 1.04.06, but the latest 1.06.06 image is not working as the source on the WD download page is actually broken. It doesnt build and you end up witha 6MB image instead of a 70+ MB one…

Broken GPL Sources - 1.06.06

The GPL source code contains all the open-source programming that we use. You might be able to compile a working firmware out of it, if you really know what you’re doing, but we don’t provide support doing that. I’m going to escalate you, so that we can make sure that this isn’t a firmware issue that you are experiencing with 1.06.06.

How did you boot the built kernel ?
