Hardware -------- MediaTek MT7981 WiSoC 256MB DDR3 RAM 16MB SPI-NOR (XMC XM25QH128C) MediaTek MT7981 2x2 DBDC 802.11ax 2T2R (2.4 / 5) UART: 115200 8N1 3.3V [LEDS] VCC-GND-RX-TX [ETH] Header is located below the heatsink Case ---- Unscrew the 4 bottom screws. Remove the top of the case by inserting a small screwdriver into the ventilation holes and lift the top cover. This works best by beginning near the ETH-ports. The top is clipped on the front near the LEDs with two plastic clips. The back has a single clip in the middle. Start at one of the back edges.

Connect to the serial port as described in the "Hardware" section. 2. Power on the device. Keep pressing the "0" key to enter the U-Boot shell. 3. Download the OpenWrt initramfs image. Place it on an TFTP server connected to the Cudy LAN ports. Make sure the server is reachable at 192.168.1.2. Rename the image to "cudy3000.bin" 4. Download and boot the OpenWrt initramfs image. $ tftpboot 0x46000000 cudy3000.bin; bootm 0x46000000 5. Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the device using scp. Install with sysupgrade. Note: Cudy does not yet provide a image for disabling their signature-protection. This has happened in the past. Make sure to check the wiki for a possible easier installation method.

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.
