Hello. The OpenWrt image that comes pre-installed has limitations on the packages you can install. I’d like to know if there are other images I can try to experiment with until an official version of the operating system is released. I tried the Xiaomi_ax3600 image without success because it seems I need a SanDisk Extreme 64GB SD card. Thanks.
i’ve uploaded an image (and initramfs for manuall boot out of existing uboot) created from my R4Pro_PR8 branch

Hi Frank,
Thanks for uploading the image and initramfs from your R4Pro_PR8 branch — really appreciate it!
A few questions if you don’t mind:
-
Do you know anything about the update to the MxL862xx DSA switch driver? Will the issue be addressed, and is firmware 1.0.85 on the way? Reference: generic: update MxL862xx DSA switch driver by dangowrt · Pull Request #23477 · openwrt/openwrt · GitHub
-
Which kernel version did you compile your image against?
-
Did you include support/drivers for the WiFi7 card, 5G/cellular options, and NVMe plugins in the build?
For context: I’m new to this and tried to compile my own image, but I’m now running into kernel/APK problems — so I’d like to compare with your working build before I go further.
Thanks a lot in advance!
basicly driver works for 1.0.70.70 too, at least basic.
i used the default openwrt-kernel in that branch…6.18.2x afair (current openwrt main is 6.18.31, but have not rebased again on it before building)
added kmod-nvme and some utils for i2c,usb and pcie, but left all others untouched.
downloadable packages are imho only possible for stable version (25.10), not for self compiled (except you use the stable branch) or snapshots. so here you have to add all needed options
