Hello, I have recently decided to take up the prospect of layer 2 Batman adv protocol as my area of interest, and want to implement a mesh bed to get some statistical readings of my own (am very new to this area, so ask for forgiveness beforehand if I was supposed to provide more info). The plan was to set up OpenWRT in qemu in laptops and work on them with batman adv. But, unfortunately, I have been facing some problems in setting the system up. I have followed (as much as I could) the steps as per documentation (links for them posted below).
Links: https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/qemu (Setting up qemu - problem I face in this is of which commands I should run , and which of the systems are viable for me (like QEMU arm, arm 64, x86-64,etc) to work on a 64-bit laptop having Linux OS ) https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/open-mesh/wiki/Emulation (I am not sure if my qemu is set up properly for there is no confirmation methods that are provided to me to check if its working properly) What I hope to find is:- Another documentation maybe for setting up, or confirmation for setting up (because I can't tell sometimes if the instructions have been followed correctly). Clarification for my doubt regarding the different types of OpenWRT images (like Kamikaze, Chaos Calmer, Attitude Adjustment,etc), what do they do and which one I should use for working with standard Batman adv setup. Confirmation method to see if qemu having OpenWRT is setup in my system - as now I have a setup in terminal which says BusyBox v1.24.2 () built-in shell (ash) //Says OpenWrt below _______ ________ __ | | .-----.-----.-----.| | | |.----.| |_ | - | | _ | -__| || | | || _|| _| |_______| | __|____|__|__||________||__| |____| |__| W I R E L E S S F R E E D O M ----------------------------------------------------- DESIGNATED DRIVER (Bleeding Edge, 49928) ----------------------------------------------------- * 2 oz.
