(to extract file)
cd AI7688H_OpenWRT_Build_FW_Setting_Tool_V1.0

make download
(download code from internet)
make menuconfig
Save and exit (use default configuration filename without

make -j1 V=s
After the build process completes, the resulted firmware file will
be under
bin/ramips/openwrt-ramips-7688-LinkIt7688-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin.
Depending on the H/W resources of the host environment, the build
process may take
