How to download patch files? I found bin files (BPI-Router-Linux/utils/firmware/mediatek/mt7996 at 67a12d766c2ddecc3e3007f406a6e448b430c11d · frank-w/BPI-Router-Linux · GitHub), but I don’t understand how to download. And I also don’t understand where to find and download 0001-wifi-mt76-mt7996-support-mt7996-2-3-3-variant.patch
I’ll try to clone the entire repository. Do I need to apply the patch before running makeconfig? And how can I launch it after I have placed all the files?
The patch will be applied automatically you just have to have it in that location

Where can I find this patch? Is it in the repository somewhere?
maybe you should start with basics in building openwrt first before using a development board. also, openwrt has an #irc channel.
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/toolchain/use-buildsystem
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/toolchain/install-buildsystem

I configured the system as in the first link
Hello. Were you able to build an image for bpi-r4 from sources? If so, what repository did you use? I am trying to build an image according to the image-builder instructions and using master branch, for wifi I use the 233patch file from git mediatek, I also put the firmware files for 7996 in the right directory and at the moment of processing the patch file the firmware build stops.

Maybe I missed something somewhere?
I’ll be honest, I started using Linux a couple of days ago, and only to assemble the firmware. Those. I have almost 0 experience. But I managed to build the firmware, I used the danpawlik repository with the be14-and-hostapd-janusz-v5 branch, it added support for be14 and there were patches for the cooler, without which the build would end in error. Here is a link to my build, despite the fact that danpawlik has support for be14, wifi 7 and wifi 6 160MHz do not work for me. https://drive.usercontent.google.com/download?id=1MdvcRUzxKVPAzzZn3ouLjjFbcGwiXbIv&export=download&authuser=0
Here are instructions on how to assemble the assembly as I did.
