I have read the wiki and it said the cubietruck is supported and I found the download image which is named "openwrt-18.06.1-sunxi-cortexa7-sun7i-a20-cubietruck-squashfs-sdcard.img". I flashed it to a 8GB micro SD-card and put into my cubietruck with HDMI output and USB keyboard connected, it booted but I can only see two penguins on the HDMI output screen with a line said "Please press Enter to activate this console". I pressed Enter but nothing happened. Anybody has any ideas? Any hints are appreciated. Thanks.
Might try ssh-ing into the router.
Video and USB drivers aren't typically part of the "stock" distribution.
To see what packages are included, the manifest file can help. For example, https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.1/targets/sunxi/cortexa7/openwrt-18.06.1-sunxi-cortexa7.manifest

Hinted by Jeff I pointed my web browser to 192.168.1.1 and connected to the OpenWrt on my Cubietruck configuration page. From here I started to configure it and installed a USB-Ethernet dongle and it worked as a firewall as intended. All good now. So even without the console you can still configure OpenWrt from the admin page. Cool.
