This is a backup of the packetinspector.org forum about making a custom build environment / installing own software in Shield. (thanks Breda for the backup!).

As you are aware what you are trying to do it outside the scope of support for the Shield Pro as it comes from Itus but I wanted to provide as much info as possible to help you in your endeavors.

"You shouldn't need to recompile the entire kernel, just the relevant package & any dependencies.  Once compiled you should be able to just copy the files onto the box & run them.

Yes, kernel was compiled as big endian with cavium octeon mips64 toolchain

How to build OpenWrt - http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build
There's support for the octeon toolchain already but you may need the one from cnusers.

Guide on cross compiling node.js - https://github.com/netbeast-co/docs/wiki/Cross-Compile-Nodejs-for-OpenWrt
Other guides.. http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/nodejs  (looks like this project is abandoned)"
I would like to do this but I can't do it alone.

My thoughts are:
1) Install OpenWRT in virtual box (link)
2) Rebuild the environment based on notes above
3) Start adding other packges (speedtest cli ...
4) Update the 151SP1 restore image with latest corrections/tools


Who has done something similar before?
