How to flash in uboot
I want to know how to compile the gl-mv1000w firmware from the openwrt source code, which components and plug-ins need to be selected. Is it convenient to provide a config.buildinfo file
You need to choose mvebu/cortexa53/ and find mv1000 as target
precompiled firmware can be find here
https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/mvebu/cortexa53/
No .config file can be provided
and then? How to brush? I use u-boot to flash the machine and no response

Sorry for necroposting but I just tried these (more recent) files in uboot and ended with nothing usable.
How are we supposed to use these files ? Why does someone even care to generate them if there are no install instruction anywhere ?
I was very appreciative to get a head start on vanilla openwrt and so did others. one can take two directions. one being the following:
- hey this looks great guys thanks for posting. Iām a little rusty (very) and I was wondering if someone could take the time to help me out im stuck and i would greatly appreciate it.
or
2. dam you mofoās postin shit on the internet messin up my stuff that donāt work your crap stinks and itās a waste of my time.
yeah your name fits you. take it elsewhere

for wifi a used a tplink tl-wn722n usb wireless with it. (I had to install drivers) and they were compatabile with wpa3 
Flashing to vanilla worked for me. Here are some more concrete instructions:
- If youāre attached to your config, save a backup first, as this procedure appears to blow it away.
- I followed gl-inetās How to Enter the Uboot Web UI instructions. I had to try a couple times with the reset. The time it worked, I power cycled right before holding down the reset button. Not sure if that was necessary. But as it says on that page, I had the WAN port unplugged and the LAN port going to my machine, which I gave a fixed IP 192.168.1.2. I was able to connect to 192.168.1.1.
- From the uboot UI, I flashed
glinet_gl-mv1000-squashfs-sdcard.img, which Iād downloaded from the snapshots URL mentioned above and ungzipped. - The brume stopped responding to pings then started again after (iirc) 15 seconds. I waited a few minutes for a web interface but it never came up. Eventually I port-scanned it and realized ssh was open.
- I logged in via
ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null root@192.168.1.1, plugged in the WAN port, and ranopkg update && opkg install lucias mentioned in the openwrt docs. Then the web interface came up.
Now my brume is running OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r17122-6721c20629 / LuCI Master git-21.194.64526-f919635.
I realize now thereās a real release candidate (not a snapshot) at https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.0-rc3/targets/mvebu/cortexa53/. Doesnāt look like there are any release builds for the 19.07 branch.

Is anyone using vanilla OpenWRT 22 on Brume? How is the hardware support?
Iām using one of the wifi dongles suggested by GL-inet, itās based on rtl8812/8821, I understand that may not be supported. But how about other stuff? Problems?
I didnāt try openwrt 22 recently. But it should be pretty stable on MV1000.
Even if you add wifi dongle, it should be pretty easy to install drivers and make it sta.
make it sta.
Do you happen to have insight on which if any dongles work well for AP mode in recent vanilla OpenWRT? Especially dual-band ones.
Updating to add that Iām currently testing Mediatek MT7610U based dongles, but, Iām testing them on Shadow so itās in a different thread. GL-AR300M Shadow 5GHz dongle?
When building the target image for my MV1000 using OpenWrt git for 22.03, what settings would you typically use for the highest expanded size to use for squashfs so I donāt have to expand it later?
(16)Kernel partition size in MiB
(?) Root filesystem partition size in MiB
I was going to use something like 6675 MiB or should I do more?
-Any additional packages recommended? I kinda want my ledās to function and USB.
-Any extra tips or tricks?
The size seems ok. For usb, choose as much as possible, e.g. storage, etc.
