OpenWrt 15.05 for Orange LiveBox 2.1 Arcadyan ARV7519RW22

I managed to generate a OpenWrt 15.05 image for Orange LiveBox 2.1 (Arcadyan ARV7519RW22) because the official one gives a kernel panic due to flash partitioning bugs.

This router supports both VDSL & ADSL and is quite powerful. Full specs here:

Details:
  • Synced with Chaos Calmer 15.05 Final (LuCI git-15.248.30277-3836b45)
  • Includes LuCi & default packages as the standard OpenWrt release.
  • Includes VDSL.bin firmware
  • added patches to fix:  VFS kernel panic / VLans switch, Led names/colors, secondary usb.
  • Enabled FPU Emulation


Here you can download it: (Works for both hardware versions R01 VR9 1.1 and R02 VR9 1.2

Note: This image come with VDSL support enabled by default. If you want to use this router with a ADSL line then:

  1. Edit this file:    /etc/config/network
  2. and look for this line   option xfer_mode 'ptm'     and  change it to     option xfer_mode 'atm'

OpenWrt 15.05 for Yacom Arcadyan ARV4518PW

I managed to generate a OpenWrt 15.05 image for ARV4518PW because the official one gives a kernel panic due to lack of space. The idea here is to get it running while stripping things that can be installed later with Extroot:

I had to do these steps to fit OpenWrt in less than 4 MB of that router total flash memory :

  • Synced with Chaos Calmer 15.05 Final (LuCI git-15.248.30277-3836b45)
  • Disabled IPv6 support (can be restored by installing IPv6 packages mainly luci-proto-ipv6 + odhcp6c)
  • Removed swconfig package (because VLANs support is somehow still buggy. Wiki refs: 1, 2)
  • Removed debugging (useless anyway if you're not a developer)
  • Optimized compiling for size
  • Enabled FPU Emulation
  • Included LuCi
  • Added : USB2 support + Ext4 Filesystem for Extroot + block-mount

The result is an image that fits well in ARV4518PW with 108 KB of free flash space.

Here you can download it (Pay attention to your router hardware version in its back: either R01A or R01):

or

Note: if you get a VFS not syncing kernel panic then check your router's MTD partitions size and probably you need to reflash a 64kb u-boot with the propre environment parameters.


what follows is just some details as a reference:
