Source Download

All source code could be obtained from SarForge.

Quick Startup

To easiest way to run a BRN meshnode is to use a modified Netgear WGT634 Netgear router preloaded with the OpenWRT linux distribution. You can also use our OpenWRT image BRN Base Image:

wget http://sarwiki.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~mj/openwrt-wgt634u-2.6-squashfs-20061115.bin

Thereafter you need to download the BRN software package BRN package:

wget http://sarwiki.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~mj/berlinroofnet-20061115.ipk

Installing BRN is quite simple:

ipkg install berlinroofnet-20061115.ipk

Now reboot your BRN meshnode and enjoy ....

Development

$\Rightarrow$ For Netgear WGT634U

1. Install a prepared image file as described here. Take an image from https://sarwiki.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~mj/openwrt/images/
2. Build your toolchain (from OpenWrt sources) and berlinroofnet ipkg package -- pay attention to the right OpenWrt revision you are using on your router (e.g. 6945)
   1. Checkout sources

      svn co https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk Kamikaze -r 6945

   2. (optional) Get the relating config file for OpenWrt:

      wget http://sarwiki.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~mj/openwrt/images/2007-04-13/Kamikaze-config -O Kamikaze/.config

   3. Check out package description for berlinroofnet

      svn co https://sarforge.informatik.hu-berlin.de/svn/brn-core/BerlinRoofNet/trunk/click/ipkg/ Kamikaze/package/berlinroofnet

   4. Select berlinroofnet package to be built (Network -> berlinroofnet <M>):

      cd Kamikaze

make menuconfig

1. 1. Build:

      make

2. Install berlinroofnet ipkg package:

   scp bin/packages/berlinroofnet*.ipk wgt01.sar.informatik.hu-berlin.de:/tmp   # (at your development machine)

ipkg install /tmp/berlinroofnet*.ipk # (at your router wgt01)
