openWrt SDK Version

For Developers
1

Hi All,

How to determine the version of OpenWrt SDK? Also is there separate SDK for cloud like aws?

Is Openwrt SDK is dependent on Openwrt OS and we can execute "cat /etc/os-release' command to determine the OpenSDK version?

Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

One critical factor would be this:

  • from where did you download the SDK you are using?

@psherman ,

I have downloaded the SDK from below link
https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/x86/64/

Also, Can we we install it on any virtual box or linux machine and can execute " cat /etc/os/release command to detrmine it's version?

SDK is the build component, not the OS where you can run the command, and get a meaningful answer.

This is a snapshot... which means bleeding edge at the time that you downloaded it (and not so much now). Is snapshot what you want?

It is some proprietary knockoff. Openwrt can run on common PCs.
