Add new Platform IPQ5018 and device Cudy P5 ( Dual Sim, 5G Router)

Did anyone try to flash Cudy P5 with OpenWrt ( or it will brick router ) ?

My router hardware:
CPU: Qualcomm 1 GHz Dual Core CPU ( IPQ5018 )
4G Module:: RM520N (Qualcomm X62)
DRAM: DDR3 256 MB (2Gbit)
Flash: Nand 128 MB (1Gbit)
4 x GbE RJ45: 1 GbE WAN/LAN + 3 GbE LAN
2 x SIM Slots (Nano)
Firmware 1.15.15-20230616-112055
Model P5
Hardware P5 V1.0

Using which image ?

You may want to checkout this thread:

A week ago some people there managed to boot a 6.1 kernel, Networking support seems working, or near that.

Hi, I would also be interested in being able to use openwrt directly on the Cudy P5. Starting from here https://www.cudy.com/gplcodecenterdownload is it possible to do something?
I imagine that even if you updated those files and recompiled everything you would still have to sign the firmware to be able to install it directly, right?
We could probably open it and flash directly but it's not simple and immediate.

Thank you

The post above yours is still relevant.

thanks, I didn't understand that. I'll try reading that thread

openwrt-ipq50xx-ipq60xx-ipq807x
support DR5018/DR6018/DR8072

cool, apply all the patches to whatever kernel version they're using, then roll forward to kernel 6.6, problem solved.

I have requested openwrt firmware for p5+V1
To add to list
Cudy Intermediary OpenWRT Firmware

it won't happen.
IPQ50xx is unsupported, they have no foundation to build an image on.

once https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/17182 gets merged, IPQ5018 based devices can be added.
once P5 is added, you can ask Cudy to build the interim image based on the P5 PR.

if you have the dts, I'll give it a go. It's probably the same config as the Linksys MX2000 and gl.inet B3000 with a QCN6102 for 5G wifi.

that's not how it works dude, and who would want openwrt 18.06 (judging from the folder name) in the 1st place.
anyway, I wish you luck on your pointless endeavor ....

Do you have serial access or ssh at the very least? Happy to build an image, but need information about the device first..

Hi, I know its over a year later but I just purchased this device. Can it now work with openwrt ?

Based on the posts (you couldn't be arsed to read) from last week, what do you think ?

Sorry , not familiar with this site and I am not following the disagreements but nice to know I found a friendly forum.

You mean friendly like you, buying 500 bucks routers every year?

Wtf do you know about what routers I buy or how much I pay.? I spent nowhere close to $500.

You proved my point bro.
