The bump to 3.0.8 inadvertently removed patches that are needed here, but were not adopted upstream. The most important one changes the default value of the DIGESTS setting from ALL to NONE. The absence of this patch causes a sysupgrade failure while the engine is in use with digests enabled. When this happens, the system fails to boot with a kernel panic. Also, explicitly set DIGESTS to NONE in the provided config file, and change the default ciphers setting to disable ECB, which has been recommended for a long time and may cause trouble with some apps. The config file change by itself is not enough because the config file may be preserved during sysupgrade. For people affected by this bug: You can either: 1. remove, the libopenssl-devcrypto package 2. disable the engine in /etc/config/openssl; 3. change /etc/ssl/engines.cnf.d/devcrypto.cnf to set DIGESTS=NONE; 4. update libopenssl-devcrypto to >=3.0.8-3 However, after doing any of the above, **you must reboot the device before running sysupgrade** to ensure no running application is using the engine. Running `/etc/init.d/openssl restart` is not enough. Fixes: 7e7e76afca "openssl: bump to 3.0.8" Signed-off-by: Eneas U de Queiroz <cotequeiroz@gmail.com>
OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Download
Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.
If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.
An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.6+ rsync subversion unzip which
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -a
to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -a
to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfig
to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
make
to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
