Download B.A.T.M.A.N.

We are currently working on different branches. To get the details about the differences of these branches, see our Branches Explained page.

Please use the stable branch for your public infrastructure unless you know exactly what you are doing and are prepared for the big unknown.

Download Released Source Code

If you are wondering whether batman-adv or batmand might suit your setup better, have a look at this page. Please note that the development is focusing on batman-adv at the moment.

To download previous release tarballs, simply check out our download section.

If you find any bugs, please let us know!

Git Repository Access

Since we started integrating the batman-adv kernel module into the mainline Linux tree, we maintain a git repository which contains the batman-adv maintenance branches. More information can be found on our git page.
On overview about all the git repositories can be found on our git frontend. We also host individual repositories for development related to batman or meshing in general. Feel free to contact us if you are interested in getting a repository too.

batman-adv in the Linux tree

Since linux 2.6.33 batman-adv is part of the official linux tree. You can build batman-adv along with your linux binary by simply selecting batman-adv in the Linux drivers section. If you want to have access to the latest features on a non-bleeding edge kernel, you can clone our git repository which still are backward compatible to all stable/longterm kernels.

It follows an overview of linux versions and the batman-adv version they contain, so that you can easily pick the compatible batctl packages:

openSUSE

Building OpenWRT packages

B.A.T.M.A.N. is also included in OpenWRT as a package. Download the extra package feed, link the batman folder into your main OpenWRT svn directory and use "make menuconfig" to select the B.A.T.M.A.N. flavor you intend to use. This enables you to integrate B.A.T.M.A.N. seamlessly into your builds (see this page for a detailed explanation).

More information about how to build the OpenWRT toolchain is available here.
