Hi,

I am trying to perform opkg update but getting the signature failed error:

Hard to verify a signature after getting an page not found error, tried the URLs in your browser ?

You're probably using an unsupported device, since there's no ipq50xx support in openwrt, yet.

Thanks man! I was not aware about this but Qualcomm has given us openwrt installed.

Is it a custom openwrt created by Qualcomm team but not supported by the open source community? Is my understanding correct?

Yes, it's an image based on openwrt, with their custom code on top.

One more newbie question!

We only have hardware knowledge and we are working with the Qualcomm team to launch the new router with IPQ5018 chipset.
So is there anything we can do than can help the open source community and make this chipset as supported?

It'd be to get the code into the mainline Linux kernel.
Openwrt supports whatever hw the kernel supports.
