## Fresh Compile
```bash
# Reset everything
make distclean
# Choose a specific version and init
git checkout openwrt-22.03
git pull
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
# Insert our additional files
rm -rf files/
cp -r ../wpj428/files ./
# Choose the packages we want/need
make menuconfig
```
Set the board:
- Target System -> Qualcomm Atheros IPQ40XX
- Target Profile -> Compex WPJ428
Then activate:
- Luci -> Collections -> Luci (default)
- Luci -> Protocols -> luci-proto-modemmanager
- Luci -> App -> luci-app-sqm
- Luci -> App -> luci-app-openvpn
- Luci -> Themes -> OpenWRT
- Utilities -> qmi-utils (required by our script `promsignal`)
- Utilities -> strace
- Utilities -> Terminal -> Picocom
Check that these packages were activated automatically:
- Kernel Modules -> USB -> kmod-usb-net-cdc-mbim
- Kernel Modules -> USB -> kmod-usb-net-cdc-ncm
- Network -> ModemManager
- Network -> tcpdump
- Utilities -> dbus
*Note: do not use `defconfig` / diffconfig / etc. because they do not work when we upgrade
between major versions. They tend to create frankenstein builds. So really avoid them,
we lost enough time with this feature.*
```
make download
make -j $(nproc)
```
