I’m new to openwrt builds, so I’m mostly just trying to blindly follow the instructions. I followed (d7d5c7502b6c24795309e259d44158e99feccb9a - openwrt/feeds/mtk-openwrt-feeds - Gitiles). I compiled the master branch (I need kernel 6.6.50), added feeds mediatek, everything was according to the instructions, but I didn’t understand how to make firmware for an sd card or emmc, you could just specify BPI R4 there. In general, the image turned out, I recorded it on the SD card and as a result the router works, but the wifi does not work, there are only two sources in the wireless section and the router starts to slow down very much when trying to display information about them. I removed these sources and the router started working fine. How to add be14 support? And I still can’t install opkg packages
It happens because you are using a snapshot image and the kernel mods are rebuilt daily and are only compatible with the latest kernel / snapshot image or you need to change some things as listed here.
Okay, I’ll include all the necessary packages right away during assembly, but what can you say about the non-working be14?
Mark required packages in . config with =y and then run: make defconfig.
Instead of checking what kmods is required, you can mark package in the .config and the defconf will set required kmods.
Kmods needs to be included into the image.
Those. If I check iptables-mod-extra, then after running make defconfig all dependent packages will be loaded by themselves?
And then do I need to go into menuconfig again to save the added kmods to the .config file?
Those. If I check iptables-mod-extra, then after running make defconfig all dependent packages will be loaded by themselves? - yes
And then do I need to go into menuconfig again to save the added kmods to the .config file? => make defconfig is doing same as menuconfig, but without prompt.
Should I do kernel_menuconfig? I don’t know if anything needs to be changed in it, so I keep it unchanged
What is the difference between Main router: curl -SL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danpawlik/openwrt-builder/master/configs/common/main-router >> ~/openwrt-builder/openwrt/.config from Basic config curl -SL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danpawlik/openwrt-builder/master/configs/common/basic >> ~/openwrt-builder/openwrt/.config ?
I was told that your repository already has a patch to support be14, is this the same repository? GitHub - danpawlik/openwrt-builder: Build openWRT system image
This is some kind of code, what to do with it?
I tried to compile, as a result of a long compilation
Configuring urngd.
Configuring ppp-mod-pppoe.

Add this patch or disable building all modules, for example by executing command. I don’t know why nbd or dango did not add that (the mtk feed is also adding that kmod but in other place). I will make a PR soon.
How do I use this patch? Do I need to download it or what do I need to do with it to use it?
For example, by executing commands:
curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danpawlik/openwrt-builder/master/patches/0001-Add-kmod-thermal-for-BPI-R4.patch
git apply --check 0001-Add-kmod-thermal-for-BPI-R4.patch
git am --keep-cr --signoff < 0001-Add-kmod-thermal-for-BPI-R4.patch
EDIT: Created a PR: mediatek: add kmod-thermal for BPI-R4 device by danpawlik · Pull Request #16400 · openwrt/openwrt · GitHub
Okay, what should I do now to enable this change?
Has a patch for be14 support been added to your repository? Do I need to apply a patch?
I added the patch as you wrote, but when compiling I get an error:

It is time to learn git, quilt and diff.
Why don’t you use already working branch that include 11be patch and updated hostapd - be14-and-hostapd-janusz-v5? It will be soo much easier for you if you don’t understand those tools.
