Download
There are two methods to create a firmware image for one of the supported embedded systems. Our latest stable release is FreeWRT 1.0.3!
ADK - Appliance Development Kit
The preferred method is to download the latest stable release version of our appliance development kit and create a firmware image compiled from source. To download the stable release please use one of the following commands, depending on the protocol you want to use:
For HTTP protocol via SVN command line tool use:
svn co http://www.freewrt.org/svn/tags/freewrt_1_0_3
For HTTPS protocol via SVN command line tool use:
svn co https://www.freewrt.org/svn/tags/freewrt_1_0_3
For SVN protocol via SVN command line tool use:
svn co svn://www.freewrt.org/tags/freewrt_1_0_3
Or get the latest release from http://www.freewrt.org/downloads/source/freewrt-1.0.3.tar.gz via wget or a web browser.
WIB - Web Image Builder
The Web Image Builder samples precompiled parts of the FreeWRT 1.0.3 release together into a working firmware image, according to your choices and allows you to download the resulting image. There are some disadvantages in using the WIB, you have not the full choices in configuring different package flavours (busybox IPv6 support) or some kind of runtime configuration (preconfigured SSH public keys, your own password, ...).
To do this you have to go to the following URL:
First you will have to go through a few steps where you have to provide information about the target device you want to build for and what software should be shipped with the image. The Web Image Builder will then use the precompiled parts from http://www.freewrt.org/downloads/1.0/brcm-2.4/. After the installation of the firmware image, you can access your embedded device via one of the LAN ports with secure shell with IP address 192.168.1.1, username "admin" and password "FreeWRT".
Please give us feedback of your experiences.
