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>).

Once you open the Terminal, update the feeds:

<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:
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.
