Due to licensing uncertainty, we do not include the firmwares for the wireless chips used in the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. To have working wireless, follow the instructions below. For people building their own images: mkdir -p files/lib/firmware/brcm wget -P files/lib/firmware/brcm/ https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/raw/bullseye/debian/config/brcm80211/brcm/brcmfmac43436-sdio.bin wget -P files/lib/firmware/brcm/ https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/raw/bullseye/debian/config/brcm80211/brcm/brcmfmac43436-sdio.txt wget -P files/lib/firmware/brcm/ https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/raw/bullseye/debian/config/brcm80211/brcm/brcmfmac43436s-sdio.bin wget -P files/lib/firmware/brcm/ https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/raw/bullseye/debian/config/brcm80211/brcm/brcmfmac43436s-sdio.txt Now build the OpenWrt image as usual, and it will include the firmware files in the correct location. For people using ext4 images: Write the ext4 image to the sdcard, then mount the 2nd partition and put the firmware files from the links above in /lib/firmware/brcm relative from the mount point where the partition is mounted. For people using squashfs images: Write the squashfs image to the sdcard, place it in the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, boot it and wait for the overlay filesystem to be created. Find the offset of the overlay filesystem in sysfs: # cat /sys/devices/virtual/block/loop0/loop/offset 25755648 Shut down the device, unplug the power and move the SD card to a Linux computer. Mount the 2nd partition of the sdcard as a loop device with the offset found earlier. sudo mount /dev/sdh2 -o loop,offset=25755648 /mnt/temp Put the firmware files from the links above in /upper/lib/firmware/brcm relative to the mount point where the loop device is mounted.

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.
Sunshine!
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 -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
maketo 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.
Related Repositories
The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of
different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package
manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port
packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
