For this source code release, two toolchains are required:

1. A MIPS little-endian toolchain. For example, hndtools-mipsel-linux-3.0

from Broadcom Corporation. This toolchain is used to compile uClibc and Linux kernel.

2. A MIPS little-endian toolchain compiled with C++ and uClibc support.

This toolchain is used to compile linuxigd. CPP_STAGING_DIR in Makefile must be modified to indicate the exact path of this toolchain.

Then, a "make" should suffice to build all GPL components of WGT634U.

USB

This device has a USB2.0 port.

CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=m
CONFIG_USB_OHCI=m
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=m

As you know, this allows one to add an external HDD/USB keychain, etc. GPS, BlueTooth?

Serial

There is a serial header on the board. For more information on adding a port, see http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/AddASerialPort

CONFIG_CMDLINE="root=/dev/ram console=ttyS1,115200"
