FAQ:

Q: What is OpenWrt and why should I use it?

A: OpenWrt also gives you a great control over its build system. For normal cases, you probably don’t need to build OpenWrt from source yourself. That has been done for you already and all you need to do, is to just download the appropriate compiled firmware image and then upload it to your router 1.

Q: How many Python packages are there for OpenWrt?

A: There are three main Python packages for OpenWrt; python, python3 and micropython. Main python package is much larger than python-mini and python-light packages so we suggest that you don’t even try to install full version unless you have at least 50MB of free space on your flash storage.

Q: Should I build OpenWrt from scratch or use opkg?

A: That is, until you start using opkg to install some new packages. opkg will by default fetch new packages from the official repository (as one might expect), but depending on the package, the installation may or may not fail. If you only want to add/remove some packages from a firmware, building OpenWrt from scratch is an overkill.

Q: How do I check the vermagic of my OpenWrt kernel?

A: To check the vermagic of your currently running kernel in your OpenWrt router, you can use: To check the vermagic of an OpenWrt build (before installing it), you can search for the “ kernel ” entry in the .manifest file. Now to fix this, you may decide to build the offending packages at the build time.
