Steps for setting up your own Odin Wi5 Enviroment

In this section we will explain one by one the steps to must take in order to have a running Wi5 Odin environment. The steps are:

1. Create OpenWrt image including openvswitch and ath9k patch. So far, ath9k is the only chipset supported. If you have any of the supported routers, you can skip this step because you have the files to flash here
2. Configure the network of the AP after flashing. Prepare OpenVswitch
3. Cross compiling Click Modular Router for Odin
4. Install and test Odin controller
5. Run the whole Odin scenario. Before running, have a look to the Sanity check list.

This is the terminology we are using.

These are the schemes we are using.

This is a list of supported routers.

Requirements for the agent/AP

• An OpenWrt wireless router (https://openwrt.org/)

• An ath9k driver-based Wi-Fi card. You should first patch the driver with the patch provided in https://github.com/Wi5/odin-wi5/tree/master/odin-patch-driver-ath9k

• It must also be able to run Click Modular Router (https://github.com/kohler/click) with the Odin elements added (https://github.com/Wi5/odin-agent), and Open vSwitch.

• We are also using an additional Wi-Fi card for monitoring and scanning.
