Drop the `tui`, `ble`, and `gateway` cargo features and replace them with platform cfg gates. Plain `cargo build` now produces every subsystem appropriate for the target platform with no feature flags required. Motivation: - `default = ["tui", "ble"]` broke `cargo build` on macOS and Windows because `ble` pulled in `bluer` (BlueZ, Linux-only). Every non-Linux packager needed `--no-default-features`. - The feature flags on `ble` and `gateway` were redundant with their platform-gated deps (`bluer`, `rustables`). The parallel gating was inconsistent and error-prone. - `tui` feature protected against a ratatui binary-size concern that no longer applies in 2026. Cargo.toml: - Remove `tui`, `ble`, `gateway` features; `default = []`. - Promote `ratatui` to a non-optional top-level dependency. - Move `rustables` from top-level optional into the Linux target block, non-optional. - Split `bluer` into its own target block with `cfg(all(target_os = "linux", not(target_env = "musl")))` — BlueZ isn't available on musl router targets and `libdbus-sys` doesn't cross-compile to musl without pkg-config sysroot setup. - Drop `required-features` from the `fipstop` and `fips-gateway` `[[bin]]` entries. build.rs: - Emit a `bluer_available` custom cfg when `target_os == "linux"` and `target_env != "musl"`, for use in place of the verbose full predicate in source cfg gates. Source: - Replace every `#[cfg(feature = "gateway")]` with `#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]`. Gateway code works on both glibc and musl Linux (rustables is fine on musl). - Replace every `#[cfg(feature = "ble")]` with `#[cfg(bluer_available)]`. BLE-specific code (BluerIo module, bluer type conversions, BLE transport instance creation, resolve_ble_addr) is excluded on musl and non-Linux. Generic `BleAddr`, `BleIo` trait, `MockBleIo`, and `BleTransport<I>` still compile on all targets. - `src/bin/fips-gateway.rs`: always compiled, but `main()` is gated to Linux. Non-Linux stub exits 1 with a diagnostic. Existing non-Linux packaging scripts don't ship it, so the stub binary sits unused. Packaging and CI: - Drop `--features` and `--no-default-features` flags from every packaging script and workflow. Defaults now match each platform's capabilities. - AUR `fips-git` automatically aligns with stable `PKGBUILD` (both build with defaults). Verified: `cargo build --release` with no flags produces all four binaries on glibc Linux; all unit and integration tests pass across Linux/macOS/Windows/OpenWrt (musl) in CI.
FIPS OpenWrt Package
This directory is an OpenWrt feed package that builds and installs FIPS on any
OpenWrt 22.03+ router via the standard opkg package system.
For ad-hoc deployment without the build system, see
deploy/native/ instead.

Requirements
Build host
| Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|
| OpenWrt SDK 22.03+ | Older versions lack fw4 / nftables support |
| Rust host toolchain | Enable in make menuconfig → Advanced → Rust, or install rustup |
| Rust target for your router | Added automatically by the Makefile via rustup target add |
Router
| Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|
kmod-tun |
Required for fips0 TUN interface |
kmod-br-netfilter |
Required for Ethernet transport on bridge member ports |
Both kernel modules are listed as package dependencies (DEPENDS) and will be
installed automatically by opkg.
Target architectures
The Makefile maps the OpenWrt ARCH variable to the correct Rust musl target:
OpenWrt ARCH |
Rust target |
|---|---|
aarch64 |
aarch64-unknown-linux-musl |
x86_64 |
x86_64-unknown-linux-musl |
mipsel |
mipsel-unknown-linux-musl |
mips |
mips-unknown-linux-musl |
arm |
arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf |
To add a missing architecture, add an ifeq block in Makefile mapping the
OpenWrt ARCH value to the Rust target triple.
Building with the OpenWrt SDK
1. Obtain the SDK
Download the SDK for your router's target from downloads.openwrt.org and extract it.
2. Add this package
Copy or symlink this directory into the SDK's package/ tree:
# From inside the SDK root:
ln -s /path/to/fips/packaging/openwrt package/fips
Or add the FIPS repository as a feed in feeds.conf:
src-git-full fips https://github.com/jmcorgan/fips.git
Then update and install feeds:
./scripts/feeds update fips
./scripts/feeds install -a -p fips
3. Build
make package/fips/compile V=s
The resulting .ipk is placed in bin/packages/<arch>/.
4. Pin the source version
For reproducible production builds, replace PKG_SOURCE_VERSION:=master in
Makefile with a specific commit SHA and set PKG_MIRROR_HASH to the correct
hash (or keep skip for development):
PKG_SOURCE_VERSION:=bf117dfabc123... # full 40-char SHA
PKG_MIRROR_HASH:=skip
Installing on the router
scp bin/packages/<arch>/fips_0.1.0-1_<arch>.ipk root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
ssh root@192.168.1.1 opkg install /tmp/fips_0.1.0-1_<arch>.ipk
First-time configuration
Edit /etc/fips/fips.yaml on the router before starting the daemon:
ssh root@192.168.1.1
vi /etc/fips/fips.yaml
The default config enables:
- Persistent identity (key generated on first start, saved to
/etc/fips/fips.key) - TUN interface
fips0 - DNS responder on
127.0.0.1:5354 - UDP transport on
0.0.0.0:2121
For Ethernet transport, uncomment the ethernet: section and set the correct
physical interface names for your router. Always use physical port names
(eth0, eth1), never bridge names (br-lan). See
deploy/native/README.md for details.
Service management
/etc/init.d/fips start
/etc/init.d/fips stop
/etc/init.d/fips restart
/etc/init.d/fips enable # start at boot (already enabled by opkg postinstall)
/etc/init.d/fips disable
Inspection and logs
# Peer table
fipsctl peers
# Active sessions
fipsctl sessions
# Transport links
fipsctl links
# Live TUI dashboard
fipstop
# Daemon logs (OpenWrt syslog)
logread | grep fips
Upgrading
Install the new .ipk over the existing one:
opkg install --force-reinstall fips_<new-version>_<arch>.ipk
The config in /etc/fips/fips.yaml and the identity key /etc/fips/fips.key
are preserved by opkg (the yaml is installed as a conffile; the key is not a
package file). Both survive sysupgrade via /lib/upgrade/keep.d/fips.
