==Ubuntu Installation and Pre-requisite==
Compiling the firmware should be achievable on any Linux-based machine. Alternatively, options like Oracle's VirtualBox or Windows' WSL can be used, though the setup process may vary slightly. For this example, I will be using VMWare.
You can download the '''VMWare''' here: [https://www.vmware.com/mena/products/workstation-pro/workstation-pro-evaluation.html VMWare]
1. You must download latest '''Ubuntu''' version can be found here: [https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop Ubuntu]

2. After initiating VMware, click Create a New Virtual Machine

3. Choose Typical -> choose the downloaded Ubuntu .iso file

then click Next.
4. Input Name, username, and password. Then input the Virtual Machine Name and the save path.
'''Note:''' allocate at least 30-50GB GB for disk size and click Store virtual disk as a single file.

Then click Next.
5. Select Customize Hardware. Allow for 4GB or more of memory and 2 or more processors *more is preferable* depending on your machine.

Finally, click Finish.
Ubuntu will initialize. Choose your language. The example will be in English.
6. Choose Minimal installation and check Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware and additional media formats.

Click Continue
7. Once installion is done, click on Restart Now.
8. Once Ubuntu is now running. Open a browser and download the SDK file from Teltonika Networks wiki. You can find it out here: [https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/Software_Development_Kit Software Development Kit]

Create a new folder (for this example I'll be using a directory called <i>RUTX_R</i> found at my <b>home</b> directory) and extract the SDK archive inside it.

You can achieve this with drag and drop or by executing this command via Terminal:

Troubleshooting tips:
'''Troubleshooting tips:'''
1. If you get error on first ‘make’, do ./scripts/feeds update -a once more.

2. Once you extract the SDK files, Rename rutos-ipq40xx-rutx-gpl to a different file name and move it to home directory.

3. Try running `make distclean` if you believe that your SDK installation is corrupt. This will recompile the firmware from scratch.

4. Allowing us to run command. “make -j<nproc_output> V=sc” for verbose output. This way you will see more logs that may help to troubleshoot compilation issues.
