OpenWrt One / project update 04/04/2024

Hi,

Just dropping a quick update on the OpenWrt One project. I've received the first batch of three PCBs for testing today. I am in the process of testing the hardware to make sure everything works as intended.

There are twelve further early prototype boards on standby in case we need to tweak anything hardware-wise. You can find some pictures showing off the PCB from different angles at these URLs:

Work is underway to establish a website where all legal information and links to our sources will be provided. Keeping everything transparent and accessible is crucial for us.

MediaTek also generously released a substantial amount of programming manuals for the SoC used by the OpenWrt One which will be made available shortly.

I would like to express my gratitude to the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC), our manufacturer (BPi), the silicon vendor (MTK) and fellow developers for their support throughout this journey.
