OpenWrt Support for Armor G5 (NBG7815)

No, I have not.
Searching I found this message.
Is this still valid?
Should I also add the nlbwmon fix?

For the WiFi I will test again tomorrow, but I think that it didn’t work even with 80 MHz on channel 36. If this is the case what should I do? Should I flash again with a sysupgrade or via serial?
Thanks in advance

Yes

No

Do a sysupgrade, serial do the same for this.
What was the previous firmware?
I flash twice when I change from nss to non-nss versions and vice versa.

It was latest stock, then I tried installing openwrt today, but I maybe bricked the device since I runned the script flash_to_openwrt not from /tmp/ApplicationData/ and it would not boot (led blinking red).
Then I reverted to stock via serial and I reused the script to install openwrt (this time correctly).

Flashed again and it works.
Thanks

For those using this device and complaining about it being too hot. If you have it running on your desk, the natural air flow is poor. Try mounting it on a wall (preferably with the back side up). It will run much cooler, with less fan noise.

Hey @asvio , quick question if you don't mind.

I know that you have a few branches active, mainly based on main and 24.10.

With main I am using apk-manager in my config. With your 24.10 branch, should I edit the default to opkg manager for it to work correctly (or according to openwrt policy)?

cheers

Of course you can.
But look inside at the last commit i publish on 24.10-rc5 and you can see i changed to make opkg download from openwrt server.

Is it this for what you are looking for?

Hey,

Thanks a lot for clarification!

I built your 24.10 branch (not rc5) this morning and added opkg manually to my config just in case. I wasn't sure if it's correct as config seed was still on apk-manager (they're the same for main and 24.10).

EDIT: I usually glance through commits, but must have missed this one!

cheers
