Hi All,

I am looking for the steps to build OpenWrt for Orange Pi R1 H3.

I searched it in https://openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_fwdownload for the same.

But did find anything for Pi R1 H3 board.

Thanks in advance for helping me...

Warm regards,

Manoj

Your device is not currently supported. The R1, R1 Plus, and R1 Plus LTS do have available builds.

Since you have the device to work with, you'll be able to help add support using the methods discussed here:

Have you tried using the image for the Orange Pi R1 (H2+)? Xunlong started using the H3 at some point as I guess the H2+ became difficult to source. As stated at SUNXI

H2+ is a variant of H3, targeted at low-end OTT boxes, which lacks Gigabit MAC and 4K HDMI output support.

H3 images are proven to run on H2+.

According to the source code of BSP[1], variants differ by the last byte of the first word of SID. 0x42 and 0x83 indicates H2+, 0x00 and 0x81 indicates H3, and 0x58 indicates H3D (a still unknown variant

Given that you'll be booting from SD card, I would burn an image an test it as you have nothing to lose except the time it takes to test.

Thanks for willing to help.
Sorry for coming back late.

I tried this image, but I was not able to connect via SSH (don't have the serial cable at the moment to connect the console) though I could figure out that the device has been assigned an IP Addr on one of Ethernet interfaces.

Can you please guide me to build OpenWrt my self where I can also configure ssh login on first boot as well as enable the wifi?
