The examples apply to various RUTOS routers, SDK versions and operating systems. In most cases the difference will only be that of a visual nature, The availability of SDK Firmware branding begins from version 7.05, although some of these modifications may be accessible on earlier firmware versions.
Most examples provided in this page are independent from each other. But it is highly recommended to acquaint yourself with the basics by reading the "[[#Prerequisites|Prerequisites]]" and "[[#Compiling_a_standard_firmware|Compiling a standard firmware]]" sections first as they contain information that will be necessary in order to understand some aspects of the other examples.

It should also be noted early that the first time you compile a firmware it may take <b>about two hours</b> to complete. On later attempts the duration is considerably lower.
It should also be noted early that the first time you compile a firmware it may take up to a few hours to complete. Once the initial compilation is complete, packages will not be re-compiled next time, therefore the duration will decrease significantly. Please be aware that this also depends on your machine.

==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]
[[File:Ubunto.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
2. After initiating VMware, click Create a New Virtual Machine
[[File:Ubuntu2.jpg|border|class=tlt-border]]
3. Choose Typical -> choose the downloaded Ubuntu .iso file
[[File:Ubuntu3.jpg|border|class=tlt-border]]
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.
[[File:Ubuntu4.jpg|border|class=tlt-border]]
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.
[[File:Ubuntu5.jpg|border|class=tlt-border]]
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.
[[File:Ubuntu6.jpg|border|class=tlt-border]]
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.
[[File:SDK_EXTRACT.jpg|border|class=tlt-border]]
You can achieve this with drag and drop or by executing this command via Terminal:
Navigate to the "Downloads" folder:
cd ~/Downloads
Extract the tar.gz file:
tar -xzvf RUTX_R_GPL_00.07.05.X.tar.gz
This command will extract the contents of the RUTX_R_GPL_00.07.05.X.tar.gz file into the current directory, After running this command, you should find the extracted files in the same directory where you ran the command.
<b>Note</b>: don't forget to replace the file name and path in accordance with your own circumstances

Open a Terminal inside the SDK directory. You can change the directory in your current terminal (<i>cd ~/RUTX_R/openwrt-gpl-ipq40xx.Linux-x86_64</i>).

<b>Note</b>: the first time you compile a firmware file it may take up to <b>two hours</b> before it is complete. Don't close the Terminal window up until then. Once it is finished, you will find the firmware in the <i>./bin/targets/ipq40xx/generic</i> directory. It should contain a file openwrt-ipq40xx-qcom-ipq4018-rutx-squashfs-apps.bin, it can be used to upgrade your router's firmware via its web interface.

You can speed up this process by passing an extra argument <b>-j</b>. This argument then compiles the necessary packages in parallel.

'''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.
