Getting Started With a Development Device?

Hello, all —

I successfully got my TL-MR3040 running PirateBox 1.0 on Saturday, and have showed it off a couple of places already. People were much impressed.

I've been satisfying myself that I can build various versions of OpenWrt in various development environments, see [www.acme-dot.com], but I want to be able to work closer to the "bleeding edge" on PirateBox.

I've gone ahead and ordered a second TL-MR3040 which should arrive shortly, and I wanted to check on the best way to set it up with the latest stuff would be something like what Matthias has written up here: [piratebox.cc]

Is there any better guide to initially setting up a "HEAD revision" target device? I'm willing to put something together if I can get a (very) basic outline.

Duh, never mind. It's only eight in the morning, I need more coffee.

STEP ONE: DOWNLOAD THE APPROPRIATE OPENWRT IMAGE FOR YOUR DEVICE AND INSTALL.ZIP FROM [development.piratebox.de]

STEP TWO: DO THIS TO UPGRADE THE OPENWRT: [wiki.openwrt.org]

STEP THREE: POWER OFF THE DEVICE. PUT THE USB STICK WITH THE NEW "install" DIRECTORY INTO THE SLOT, AND POWER UP THE DEVICE. WAIT.

STEP FOUR: DO THE NORMAL (?) POST-INSTALL

Does that seem about right?
