Popular bpi-r3 pwm fans like this one https://www.amazon.com/youyeetoo-Barebone-Fan-BPI-R3-Integrated/dp/B0CCCTY8PS will not work properly with current openwrt-23.05/24.10 firmware. Trying different pwm setting echo $value > /sys/devices/platform/pwm-fan/hwmon/hwmon1/pwm1 I found: pwm1 value fan rotation speed cpu temperature notes ----------------------------------------------------------------- 0 maximal 31.5 Celsius too noisy 40 optimal 35.2 Celsius no noise hearable 95 minimal above 95 does not rotate 55.5 Celsius ----------------------------------------------------------------- At the moment we have following cooling levels: cooling-levels = <255 96 0>; for cpu-active-high, cpu-active-medium and cpu-active-low modes correspondingly. Thus only cpu-active-high and cpu-active-low are usable. I think this is wrong. This patch fixes cpu-active-medium settings for bpi-r3 board. PS: I know, the patch is not ideal as it can break pwm fan for some users. There are some peoples that use handmade cooling solutions, but: * discussed cooler is the only 'official' pwm cooler for bpi-r3 available on the market. * most peoples will use passive cooling available on the market or the discussed cooler. * the pwm-fan dts section was added before the official cooler appears on the market. Thus it should not be a lot of harm from this fix.

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 macOS 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 python3.7+ 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.
