This commits adds the "ramdisk" feature to ipq806x target. The
main driving force behind this decision is to facilitate the
installation of OpenWrt on some locked IPQ806x devices.
Examples:
- NEC Aterm WG2600HP
The U-Boot on WG2600HP is protected with a password which prevents
users from gaining access to the u-boot prompt in order to install
the images from there.
Therefore, on this device, installing OpenWrt by the user involves
changing the bootcmd as follows so that WG2600HP downloads and
executes initramfs image from TFTP server.
ex.:
bootcmd="ping ${serverip} && tftpboot 0x44000000 wg2600hp-initramfs.bin; bootipq"
- Buffalo WXR-2533DHP
The U-Boot on WXR-2533DHP has built-in firmware recovery mode.
It's activated by holding the "AOSS" button during boot. This
will trigger the device to download the firmware from an TFTP
server and booting from it. By using this, the user can the
install OpenWrt firmware without having access to the UART
console.

-----------------------------------------------------
This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution.
To build your own firmware you need a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case
sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack
of a case sensitive file system.
You need gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make, find, grep, diff,
unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers installed.
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 Linux kernel & all
chosen applications for your target system.
