-OpenWrt inside a user mode linux. Why would we even want this many ask?
-
-There are potentially a lot of reasons, one obvious one to me, it allows
-folks to 'kick the tires' without actually flashing up any hardware. It's
-also a great environment for porting over packages, you can get a package
-fully functional in the uclibc root environment inside a uml without actually
-disturbing your 'real router', and then rebuild for a specific target once
-it's fully tested.
-
-This is a first stab at a build that 'just works' and there will be more
-cleanup to come. The simple directions are:-
-
-Configure for uml target
-Configure with an ext4 root file system
-build it all
-
-In your bin directory you will find a kernel and an ext4 root file system
-when it's finished. Just run it like this:-
-
-bin/targets/uml/generic/lede-uml-vmlinux
-ubd0=bin/targets/uml/generic/openwrt-uml-ext4.img
-
-The uml will start, and eventually the serial console of the uml will be at your
-console prompt. If you would like it in xterms, substitute con=xterm and con0=xterm.
-No networking is configured, but, it's a starting point. The resulting file system
-has just enough free space to start kicking the tires and playing in the world of
-'embedded routers' along with all the resource restrictions that come with that
-world.
-
-To configure networking and more, refer to the user mode linux documentation online.
-A quick start goes along this line. install the uml-utilities packages so you have
-the uml switch in and running, then add a command param to your uml start like this
-
-eth0=daemon,00:01:01:01:01:01,unix,/<your uml switch control socket here>
-
-With that in, and uml networking actually functional (can be a challenge at times),
-you should be able to ifconfig the interface and talk to the host side, or, if you
-bridged the uml switch to your host network, you should be able to run udhcp and be
-away with networking off to the world. Again, if you are unfamiliar with uml and
-uml networking, please read the docs and how-to stuff available on the net. It does
-take some fiddling to get it started and working right the first time, but after that,
-it opens up a whole new world of virtual machines.
