- RAM             : DDR3 512 MiB
- Flash           : SPI-NOR 16 MiB (Winbond W25Q128JVSQ)
- Ethernet        : 8x 1/2.5/10 Gbps (SFP+)
- LEDs/Keys (GPIO): 0x/1x
- UART            : "Console" port on the front panel
  - type          : RS-232C
  - connector     : RJ-45
  - settings      : 115200n8
- Power           : AC100-240V 50/60Hz

Flash instruction using initramfs image:

 1. Prepare TFTP server with an IP address "192.168.1.111"
 2. Connect your PC to Port1 on VM-S100-0800MS
 3. Power on VM-S100-0800MS and interrupt boot by pressing Esc
 4. Enable Port1 with the following commands

    rtk 10g 0 fiber1g (or fiber10g if 10GBase-*R, dac300cm for DAC cable)
    rtk ext-devInit 0
    rtk ext-pinSet 2 0

    Note: the last command sets tx-disable to low

 7. Download initramfs image from TFTP server

    tftpboot 0x82000000 <image name>

 8. Boot with the downloaded image

    bootm

 9. On the initramfs image, backup the stock firmware if needed
10. Upload (or download) sysupgrade image to the device
11. Erase "firmware" partition to cleanup JFFS2 of stock FW

    mtd erase firmware

12. Perform sysupgrade with the sysupgrade image
13. Wait ~120 sec to complete flashing

Reverting to stock firmware:
 1. Prepare by downloading the stock firmware. Vimin doesn't have
    the firmware on their website, tested using firmware for shared
    hardware Nicgiga S100-0800S-M.
    Filename: vmlinux-nicgiga-S100-0800S-M-241126EN.bix

 2. Prepare TFTP server with an IP address "192.168.1.111"
 3. Connect your PC to Port1 on VM-S100-0800MS
 4. Power on VM-S100-0800MS and interrupt boot by pressing Esc
 5. Enable Port1 with the following commands

    rtk 10g 0 fiber1g (or fiber10g if 10GBase-*R, dac300cm for DAC cable)
    rtk ext-devInit 0
    rtk ext-pinSet 2 0

    Note: the last command sets tx-disable to low

 6. Download initramfs image from TFTP server

    tftpboot 0x82000000 <image name>

 7. Boot with the downloaded image

    bootm

 8. Under Management -> Firmware -> Upgrade/Backup, upload bix file.
 9. Reboot device

OpenWrt logo

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Sunshine!

Download

Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.

If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.

An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:

Development

To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or macOS system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.

Requirements

You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.

binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.7+ rsync subversion unzip which

Quickstart

  1. Run ./scripts/feeds update -a to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

  2. Run ./scripts/feeds install -a to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/

  3. Run make menuconfig to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

  4. Run make to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.

The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.

  • LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.

  • OpenWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.

  • OpenWrt Routing: Packages specifically focused on (mesh) routing.

  • OpenWrt Video: Packages specifically focused on display servers and clients (Xorg and Wayland).
