So far firmware validation result was binary limited: it was either
successful or not. That meant various limitations, e.g.:
1) Lack of proper feedback on validation problems
2) No way of marking firmware as totally broken (impossible to install)
This change introduces JSON for storing detailed validation info. It
provides a list of performed validation tests and their results. It
allows marking firmware as non-forceable (broken image that can't be
even forced to install).
Example:
{
"tests": {
"fwtool_signature": true,
"fwtool_device_match": true
},
"valid": true,
"forceable": true
}
Implementation is based on *internal* check_image bash script that:
1) Uses existing validation functions
2) Provides helpers for setting extra validation info
This allows e.g. platform_check_image() to call notify_check_broken()
when needed & prevent user from bricking a device.
Right now the new JSON info is used by /sbin/sysupgrade only. It still
doesn't make use of "forceable" as that is planned for later
development.
Further plans for this feature are:
1) Expose firmware validation using some new ubus method
2) Move validation step from /sbin/sysupgrade into "sysupgrade" ubus
method so:
a) It's possible to safely sysupgrade using ubus only
b) /sbin/sysupgrade can be more like just a CLI

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.
