How to Compile GT-AX6000

[Shonk]

I picked up a ROG GT-AX6000 today to replace one of my RT-AC88U's

but i cant find what tool chain arguments to use or the folder to compile from

Broadcom HND AX ARM platform (RT-AX56U, RT-AX58U, RT-AX86U, RT-AX88U, GT-AX11000, RT-AX68U):

sudo ln -s ~/am-toolchains/brcm-arm-hnd /opt/toolchains
echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\$LD_LIBRARY:/opt/toolchains/crosstools-arm-gcc-5.5-linux-4.1-glibc-2.26-binutils-2.28.1/usr/lib" >> ~/.profile
echo "export TOOLCHAIN_BASE=/opt/toolchains" >> ~/.profile
echo "PATH=\$PATH:/opt/toolchains/crosstools-arm-gcc-5.5-linux-4.1-glibc-2.26-binutils-2.28.1/usr/bin" >> ~/.profile
echo "PATH=\$PATH:/opt/toolchains/crosstools-aarch64-gcc-5.5-linux-4.1-glibc-2.26-binutils-2.28.1/usr/bin" >> ~/.profile

is this the right toolchain arguments?

and folder?
src-rt-5.04axhnd.675x

is this the right toolchain arguments?

No, you need the gcc 9.2 toolchain.

and folder?
src-rt-5.04axhnd.675x

That's correct.

Thanks sorry for the slow reply i have been setting the new router up with a new switch and such

I think i am missing something

I have an empty /opt folder and run the following that i got from https://github.com/RMerl/am-toolchains

sudo ./paths2.sh (without sudo it gives a permission denied error on line 1 + 3

echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/toolchains/crosstools-aarch64-gcc-9.2-linux-4.19-glibc-2.30-binutils-2.32/usr/bin" >> /.profile
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/toolchains/crosstools-arm-gcc-9.2-linux-4.19-glibc-2.30-binutils-2.32/usr/bin" >> ~/.profile
echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/toolchains/crosstools-arm-gcc-9.2-linux-4.19-glibc-2.30-binutils-2.32/usr/lib" >> /.profile

which results in

I have also tried

sudo ln -s ~/am-toolchains/brcm-arm-hnd /opt/toolchains
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/toolchains/crosstools-aarch64-gcc-9.2-linux-4.19-glibc-2.30-binutils-2.32/usr/bin" >> /.profile
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/toolchains/crosstools-arm-gcc-9.2-linux-4.19-glibc-2.30-binutils-2.32/usr/bin" >> ~/.profile
echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/toolchains/crosstools-arm-gcc-9.2-linux-4.19-glibc-2.30-binutils-2.32/usr/lib" >> /.profile

im sure im missing something stupid
that you have presumed my small brain will know

If you use sudo, you will end up adding these lines to the root profile rather than your user's profile. Manually edit your profile, then relog to process it.

Hi,

I am having trouble compiling for gt-ax6000. It does work for other targets but I get errors for this one. Any updated instructions?

 

[Shonk]

if you get it working plz post how
im still in the same boat

I encountered the same problem as you. I think it may be that you used the wrong device name when making. My solution was to delete chip_profile.tmp and then execute make with the correct device name
