This device which is more a breakout board/kit for the RM65 module is for me a cheap WiFi 6 solution. I was looking for the latest OpenWrt version that used the device the same way the original OpenWrt firmware does. So that is the PR I added. https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/22683
I have been using it since OpenWrt v24.
The downside is that the original device U-Boot didn’t use the whole 128 MB flash, it has nmbm. I was looking at updating the BL2/FIP to get rid of nmbm, make the device entirely UBI with dual partitions using the whole 128 MB flash. Any suggestions on how to go about it would be appreciated.
I’m not sure the real benefits of the change and whether it is worth the effort. In my firmware PR I made the “extra” flash space available as a userdata partition and use bootargs to attach it to the ubi. For me the main benefit of updating the U-Boot would be having a dual boot to quickly undo problem flash updates. Other than that I am not sure if it is worth it. Any thoughts?
My PR also lacks “ARTIFACTS” according to Claude. I have no idea what they are, how they benefit users and where I could get them for my device.
