The trunk SDK is currently broken because iwinfo must be replaced with a
stub on the host, I hadn't time to look into that yet. For the best simulation of
a target environment I suggest to run OpenWrt/x86 in qemu or VirtualBox.

There is a quickstart guide here:

However for more advanced stuff you have to borrow from other existing
components. Two examples which mix traditional config and system calls
are vnstat and wol:
