Build a MiniPwner

MiniPwner Community Edition

Like the rst version, here are the build instructions for version 2 of the MiniPwner.

What You’ll Need

TP-Link MR3040
SanDisk 16GB USB drive (or equivalent)
MiniPwner Overlay – found here

Format USB Drive

Setup two partitions on the USB drive, 1 500 MB partition for swap space and the rest of the space for storage.
This can be done on a Linux system using fdisk or GParted
Partition 1 = 500 MB SWAP
Partition 2 = 15.5GB ext4

Install OpenWrt
1. Download OpenWrt Barrier Breaker from here
2. Boot your TP-Link 3040 and login at http://192.168.0.1 (default credentials are admin/admin)

3. Select System Tools and then Firmware Upgrade


4. Use the Choose File button to select the OpenWrt Barrier Breaker image
5. Use the Upgrade button to apply the image
6. Wait for the image to be applied
7. After the TP-Link reboots it will now be at 192.168.1.1

The Setup

1. Telnet to the TP-Link at 192.168.1.1


2. Set a root password with the passwd command
3. NOTE: ** You will need to get the TP-Link onto the Internet to download packages **
4. Install the following packages to enable USB support
kmod-scsi-core
kmod-usb-storage
block-mount

kmod-lib-crc16
kmod-crypto-hash
kmod-fs-ext4
5. Plug the USB drive into the 3G port and reboot the TP-Link
6. Log into the TP-Link via ssh using the user root and the password you just set
7. Modify the /etc/con g/fstab to match the following

8. Run the following commands to “pivot root” to the USB drive


mkdir -p /tmp/cproot
mount –bind / /tmp/cproot
mkdir /mnt/sda2
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2
tar -C /tmp/cproot -cvf – . | tar -C /mnt/sda2 -xf –
umount /tmp/cproot
9. You now need to modi y the /etc/con g/fstab again so it will boot o the USB drive

10. Reboot the TP-Link (and now it becomes a MiniPwner)


11. Verify the USB drive is mounted correctly by issuing the df command

12. If everything looks like the image above then you’re good to install any packages you would like
13. The following packages are installed by default on the MiniPwner
