Highlights in OpenWrt 24.10:

General changes

TLS 1.3 support in default images
- mbedtls was updated to version 3.6 which includes support for TLS 1.3
Activate POSIX Access Control Lists and file system security attributes for all file systems on devices with big flash sizes. This is needed by docker nowadays.
- This is activated for all targets which do not have the small_flash feature flag. small_flash is set for the ath79/tiny, bcm47xx/legacy, lantiq/ase, lantiq/xrx200_legacy, lantiq/xway_legacy, ramips/mt76x8, ramips/rt288x, ramips/rt305x and ramips/rt3883 targets.
Activate kernel support for Multipath TCP on devices with big flash sizes.
Improved support for WiFi6 (802.11ax) and initial support for WiFi7 (802.11be)
- Not many Wifi7 devices are supported by OpenWrt yet
Improved Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) support
OpenWrt 24.10 uses OPKG only, APK packages are not supported. Only main branch was changed to APK.

Many new devices added

OpenWrt 24.10 supports over 1950 devices. Support for over 100 new devices was added in addition to the device support by OpenWrt 23.05.

Added support for OpenWrt One

Target changes

Added d1 target for AllWinner D1 RISC-V SoC
Added ixp4xx target for Intel XScale IXP4xx SoCs.
Added loongarch64 target for SoCs with Loongson LoongArch CPUs.
Added starfive target for StarFive JH71x0 (7100/7110) SoCs.
Added stm32 target for STMicroelectronics STM32 SoCs.
Renamed ipq807x target to qualcommax.
Removed ath25 target. It supported Atheros ieee80211g devices with maximum 16MB RAM
Removed bcm63xx target. It supported some Broadcom DSL MIPS SoCs and was replaced by the bmips target. The Broadcom DSL itself was never supported.
Removed octeontx target. It supported the Octeon-TX CN80XX/CN81XX based boards
Removed oxnas target. It supported the PLXTECH/Oxford NAS782x/OX8xx
The qoriq target for the NXP QorIQ (PowerPC) SoCs is built
The ipq806x target for Qualcomm Atheros IPQ806X SoCs was converted to DSA
Added support for Airoha AN8855 DSA Switch (Xiaomi AX3000T ship both Mediatek and Airoha Switch in the same revision)

Core components update

Core components have the following versions in 24.10.0-rc6:

Updated toolchain:
- musl libc 1.2.5
- glibc 2.38
- gcc 13.3.0
- binutils 2.42
Updated Linux kernel
- 6.6.73 for all targets
Network:
- hostapd master snapshot from September 2024, dnsmasq 2.90, dropbear 2024.86
- cfg80211/mac80211 from kernel 6.12.6

Upgrading to 24.10

Sysupgrade can be used to upgrade a device from 23.05 to 24.10, and configuration will be preserved in most cases.

Sysupgrade from 22.03 to 24.10 is not officially supported.
There is no configuration migration path for users of the ipq806x target for Qualcomm Atheros IPQ806X SoCs because it switched to DSA. You have to upgrade without saving the configuration.
''Image version mismatch. image 1.1 device 1.0 Please wipe config during upgrade (force required) or reinstall. Config cannot be migrated from swconfig to DSA Image check failed''
User of the Linksys E8450 aka. Belkin RT3200 running OpenWrt 23.05 or earlier will need to run installer version v1.1.3 or later in order to reorganize the UBI layout for the 24.10 release. A detailed description is in the OpenWrt wiki. Updating without using the installer will break the device. Sysupgrade will show a warning before doing an incompatible upgrade.
Users of the Xiaomi AX3200 aka. Redmi AX6S running OpenWrt 23.05 or earlier have to follow a special upgrade procedure described in the wiki. This will increase the flash memory available for OpenWrt. Updating without following the guide in the wiki break the device. Sysupgrade will show a warning before doing an incompatible upgrade.
Users of Zyxel GS1900 series switches running OpenWrt 23.05 or earlier have to perform a new factory install with the initramfs image due to a changed partition layout. Sysupgrade will show a warning before doing an incompatible upgrade and is not possible.

Known issues

LEDs handling for Airoha AN8855 is currently not supported. Xiaomi AX3000T with Airoha Switch mounted will have Switch LEDs powered OFF. (problem will be addressed in later OpenWrt SNAPSHOT and later Openwrt 24.10 minor release)
5GHz Wifi on TP-Link Archer C60 v1, TP-Link Archer C6 v2 and probably more devices with ath10k Wifi chip does not work, see https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/14541
Ethernet link unstable on some mt7530 switches. Deactivate EEE (Energy-Efficient Ethernet) as a workaround, see: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/17351
2.5G PHY on Netgear WAX206, Cudy TR3000 and Ruijie RG-X60 Pro broken, see https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/17183

A few issues with upgrades you may run into:

It looks like at least x86 and ath79 haven't been picked up by ASU server, so Firmware Selector, owut and LuCI app are failing to build those targets (error is Unsupported profile: ...). Reported to aparcar.
The LuCI Attended Sysupgrade app has a bug, so it's not picking up the latest 24.10 rc. PR submitted an hour ago. LuCI app users will need to either use Firmware Selector or owut until the package gets updated.

Flashed on my GL-MT6000. Lots of added packages etc, fantastic so far.

A few comments prior to final release:

daemon.err hostapd: nl80211: kernel reports: integer out of range - log spam is fixed! I see 7673390 . Thanks, wifi is working awesome in general too.
Packet Steering: Enabled (All CPUs) option 2 is gone from LuCI from rc5 to rc6. Only Enabled or Disabled are available now. Performance with enabled seems good, but anyone know if this was intentional? Might have been prior to d889c27. Coded as: o.value('2',_('Enabled (all CPUs)')); does not show up.
Rockchip: please backport 17683 to 24.10. NanoPi targets really need the affinity tuning for better performance due to hybrid cores.
Ksmbd: Please backport 225519 to 24.10. Better config settings for better ksmbd performance.

Thanks to all the devs!

I see a lot of hostapd logentries on my GL-MT6000 on both RC5 and RC6. It seems to happen when devices roam from 2.4 to 5GHz bands. Initial wireless connection is slow to establish, but once connected there are no issues.

This is from an iPhone:

I come from a snapshot image built around May 2024, that did not give any of these entries. For reference my /etc/config/wireless:

Yes there are generally more log entries with the new hostapd. There is a newer hostapd build I think on snapshots but held back from 24.10 maybe try that see if it's better. Wifi is basically flawless for me right now but I'm not roaming back/forth between 2.4 and 5.1 GHz bands like you are.

I do get more of these which is new, need to look into it:

I’ve also noticed this same issue. It happens on all the openWRT firmware, I flashed FriendlyWRT and didn’t encounter the issue once.

Dynalink DL-WRX36
Smooth sailing using owut to sysupgrade install 24.10.0-rc6

Only single syslog/kernel error I'm seeing is:

kern.info kernel: [   11.112069] jitterentropy: Initialization failed with host not compliant with requirements: 9

EDIT the log entry occurs randomly, subsequent reboot(s) it disappears

buz · January 24, 2025, 6:50am

BPI R4 and MT3000 do not seem complete either, owut fails for both:

Build failed in   0s total =   0s in queue +   0s to build:
ERROR: Build failed with status 400
The above errors are often due to the upgrade server lagging behind the
build server, first suggestion is to wait a while and try again.

Redmi AX6s upgraded ok.

michalb · January 24, 2025, 7:09am

Owut gives me error 400 while trying on Openwrt One.

timur.davletshin · January 24, 2025, 7:23am

Xiaomi AX3200 updated without problems.

BTW, are you going to remove that warning about incompatible AX3200 flash layout? It should be easy to detect whether layout was updated or not.

x86 updated without hickups too.

kingrun · January 24, 2025, 8:15am

Both Xiaomi AX3600 and TP-Link Archer C50v6 upgrade via owut no problems. But getting a 400 error with the D-Link DIR-853-R1. All three routers were already running RC5

Status:   Unsupported profile: dlink_dir-853-r1

ERROR: Build failed with status 400
The above errors are often due to the upgrade server lagging behind the
build server, first suggestion is to wait a while and try again.

UPDATE: Started working, update went fine without issues.

K1m0n · January 24, 2025, 8:56am

Same^ with GL-MT6000, attempted custom build with firmware selector,
result = "Unsupported profile: glinet_gl-mt6000".

patrakov · January 24, 2025, 9:38am

Linksys E8450 UBI: upgraded successfully, and it came up correctly.

Netgear WAX202: ~~"unsupported profile"~~ EDIT: also successful (as a WDS repeater).

ncompact · January 24, 2025, 9:54am

~~just to report (I know it will be restored weather permitting):~~

~~Zyxel LTE5398-M904~~

~~Unsupported profile: zyxel_lte5398-m904~~
already solved... really good

Xiaomi AX3000T, internet does't work.

Upgrade via luci

EDIT 1:

My last installed version: OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r0-4e75b1d / LuCI Master 24.360.56502~2da1efb (everything works)

hecatae · January 24, 2025, 12:53pm

Which AX3000T model, did you upgrade without saving settings?
