Sorry, I meant the soure code by GitHub to complicated to binfile.

what can we install here?


940n tplink,

then, SQM is not precise when set to a certain values.
sample is @ 15000 DL, speedtest shows 11 or near 12, @ 12000 it resulted to 10Mbps, it not always close,

then lastly, DDNS

Failed to execute cbi dispatcher target for entry '/admin/services/ddns'.

There's a very simple answer to that question, nothing. At best, "absolutely nothing". That space is already needed to keep the lights on, to retain (and set) configurations.

There is a reason for https://openwrt.org/supported_devices/openwrt_on_432_devices - and on top of that you are running an abandoned fork of a software state that lost security support over half a decade ago.

So yes, you may be able to flash this - no, you can't install (pretty much) anything - and it's not at all secure. It's time for a hardware replacement, urgently, like a decade ago.

yeah, time to upgrade HW, maybe the build need to remove opkg since its does nothing, ill try ashus one

That build was a one time build based on a target that no longer exists (in favour of ath79, which is structured considerably differently), provided by a first -and only- time poster five years ago (when 19.07.x was already EOL and unmaintained), it hasn't been touched, updated or changed since then either. Somehow I doubt that's going to change - and even if they did, none of that would catch up with five years of missing security updates (for which there wouldn't even be the space to fit in to begin with, not that kernel 4.14.x would be maintained anymore either).

OpenWrt can extend the viable life time of devices considerably (e.g. I have almost 15 year old devices that are still fully supported by OpenWrt, while the OEM vendor dropped support in 2013), but especially on the low-end things do fall over the cliff at some time. For 4/32 devices, this has been clear post ~2015 (and very explictly announced since ~2017), the current hard limits are >=8 MB flash and >=64 MB, but the next major release will formally bump that to >=16 MB flash and >=128 MB RAM.
