  1. Openwrt inside a user mode linux.  Why would we even want this many ask?
    2. 

  2. 

  3. There are potentially a lot of reasons, one obvious one to me, it allows
    4. 

  4. folks to 'kick the tires' without actually flashing up any hardware.  It's
    5. 

  5. also a great environment for porting over packages, you can get a package
    6. 

  6. fully functional in the uclibc root environment inside a uml without actually
    7. 

  7. disturbing your 'real router', and then rebuild for a specific target once
    8. 

  8. it's fully tested.
    9. 

  9. 

  10. This is a first stab at a build that 'just works' and there will be more
    11. 

  11. cleanup to come.  The simple directions are:-
    12. 

  12. 

  13. Configure for uml target
    14. 

  14. Configure with an ext4 root file system
    15. 

  15. build it all
    16. 

  16. 

  17. In your bin directory you will find a kernel and an ext4 root file system
    18. 

  18. when it's finished.  Just run it like this:-
    19. 

  19. 

  20. bin/uml/openwrt-uml-vmlinux ubd0=bin/uml/openwrt-uml-ext4.img
    21. 

  21. 

  22. The uml will start, and eventually the serial console of the uml will be at your
    23. 

  23. console prompt.  If you would like it in xterms, substitute con=xterm and con0=xterm.
    24. 

  24. No networking is configured, but, it's a starting point.  The resulting file system
    25. 

  25. has just enough free space to start kicking the tires and playing in the world of
    26. 

  26. 'embedded routers' along with all the resource restrictions that come with that
    27. 

  27. world.  
    28. 

  28. 

  29. To configure networking and more, refer to the user mode linux documentation online.
    30. 

  30. A quick start goes along this line.  install the uml-utilities packages so you have
    31. 

  31. the uml switch in and running, then add a command param to your uml start like this
    32. 

  32. 

  33. eth0=daemon,00:01:01:01:01:01,unix,/<your uml switch control socket here>
    34. 

  34. 

  35. With that in, and uml networking actually functional (can be a challenge at times),
    36. 

  36. you should be able to ifconfig the interface and talk to the host side, or, if you
    37. 

  37. bridged the uml switch to your host network, you should be able to run udhcp and be
    38. 

  38. away with networking off to the world.  Again, if you are unfamiliar with uml and
    39. 

  39. uml networking, please read the docs and how-to stuff available on the net.  It does
    40. 

  40. take some fiddling to get it started and working right the first time, but after that,
    41. 

  41. it opens up a whole new world of virtual machines.
