Orange pi R1 plus support

I did a clean format and flash. I do not do upgrades with these manually builds, too many problems, especially with kernel differences and such.

  1. sudo mkfs.fat /dev/sdx (replace 'x' with sde card location).
  2. dd if=openwrt-23.05.2-rockchip-armv8-xunlong_orangepi-r1-plus-ext4-sysupgrade.img of=/dev/sdx status=progress bs=4M
  3. Or use an application like balenaEtcher to write the image to SDcard, or use the command(s) above.
  4. Backup your OpenWRT configs first.

I use this command in a backup script:
sysupgrade -b backup-${HOSTNAME}-$(date +%F).tar.gz

Restore from CLI:
sysupgrade -r backup-OP-R1_Plus-2023-11-26.tar.gz (Or whatever the date from the backup command).

EDIT
Actually, I think balenaEtcher gave me issues with this latest build, now that I think about it. Manual format and dd command works fine. Just make sure you are formatting the correct drive! dd command is very powerful, and won't give you a nice warning, it just formats away!

EDIT #2
You can add files that you would like backed up to /etc/sysupgrade.conf. See screenshot.. Saved list in /etc/sysupgrade.conf will be saved in the backup file, after you run sysupgrade -b.

EDIT #3
If restoring your backup still gives you an issue, you may need to manually open you backed up configs (like dhcp, firewall, network Etc) and manually edit them in the fresh intstall.
