systemd for OpenWrt

An experimental, unholy union of systemd and OpenWrt. Yes, it runs on a VoCore, which is about the size of an American quarter.

Requirements

• You must use eglibc as your C library, as systemd requires (e)glibc and will not work with uClibc!

• I have included some supporting OpenWrt patches for things we depend on that are not available in OpenWrt yet, including:

  • openwrt-kernel-config.patch adds OpenWrt kernel config options required by systemd (originally by openwrt-systemd creator, Adam Porter)
  • openwrt-base-files.patch avoids some conflicts between base-files and systemd

Getting Started

• Add the following to feeds.conf.default:

src-git systemd https://github.com/jdub/openwrt-systemd.git

• Run:

./scripts/feeds update systemd
./scripts/feeds install systemd
make menuconfig

• Enable "Advanced configuration options (for developers)" and navigate into that menu.

• Enable "Toolchain options" and navigate into that menu.

• Under "C Library implementation", choose "eglibc".

• At the top of the menu tree, under "Base system", you'll find the "systemd" package, and lots of goodies under it!
