May I ask how U got entware working as I am also trying to achieve same goal but haven’t been able to figure it out with the DSL AC88U on stock firmware. I have telnet access but haven’t been able to use opt directory or jffs but found data folder which seems to be similar to jffs. I tried the script_usbmount n script_usbhotplug and script_usbumount options with nvram but had no luck. Any help on how you got entware working would be greatly appreciated
Regards, Ricky.
Regards, Ricky.I wanted to put entware on mine too! I tried, but I really don’t know very much about it so I failed. I wanted to put deluge on it. There are plenty of ‘how to’ pages online, but none of them worked for me. I was using the 583 debug at the time (the one asus sent me and then later emailed me asking where I’d got it from). If any ‘how to’ appears here I’d be interested in trying again
I will try to make it quick.
Format a flash drive with ext2 or ext3. I’m not sure if this is required or just recommended. Note the name of the partition; for this example I will use entware. Plug the flash drive in the DSL-AC88U.
Entware installation:
1.Telent into the DSL-AC88U.
Probably not necessary, but I put everything into asusware.arm directory as I thought AsusWRT would read and execute .asusrouter from there as it does with the “normal” optware install.
mkdir /mnt/entware/asusware.arm
Make /opt/ a symlink to the entware flash drive:
ln -sf /tmp/mnt/entware/asusware.arm /tmp/opt
Install entware
wget -O - http://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/installer/generic.sh | sh
Add the entware installation to PATH and run its start scripts
PATH=~/opt/bin:$PATH PATH=~/opt/sbin:$PATH /opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung start
And opkg should then work, until the next restart where you will need to do the following to get entware working again.
ln -sf /tmp/mnt/entware/asusware.arm /tmp/opt PATH=~/opt/bin:$PATH PATH=~/opt/sbin:$PATH /opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung start
I have read on some german forum that .asusrouter script will only get executed if it matches the original that gets created during Asus’ optware install. Makes sense as I could never get a modified .asusrouter to work. I had no luck with script_usbmount either.
