   1 This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux Distribution
   2 It is a modified uClibc buildroot2.

   4 Please use "make menuconfig" to configure your appreciated
   5 configuration for the toolchain and firmware.
   6
   7 Simply running 'make' will build your firmware and a tarball
   8 of kernel modules. It will download all sources, build the
   9 cross-compile toolchain, the kernel and all choosen applications.
  10
  11 You can use scripts/flash.sh for remotely updating your embedded system
  12 via tftp.

  15 There are some cleanup targets we would like to explain.
  16 "make clean" will only clean the firmware images and the root
  17 filesystem. "make dirclean" will remove the extracted kernel source
  18 and all exctracted software. (busybox,bridge-utils,..), but will
  19 preserve your toolchain. (compiler,linker,..)
  20 "make distclean" will remove everything, including the toolchain,
  21 all downloaded source code archives and your firmware configuration.
  22 You can cleanup separate directories by using "make application-dirclean"
  23 and rebuild the firmware with "make".

  25 Be happy..
