OpenWrt Firmware Selector

A simple OpenWrt firmware selector using autocompletion. Uses plain HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Checkout the Demo.

This is a Fork/Mirror of the official OpenWrt version, but without OpenWrt specific changes like the feedback link and continuous integration scripts.

Quick Run

• Download the sources and change the working directory
• Start webserver (e.g. python3 -m http.server)
• Go to http://localhost:8000/www/ in your web browser

Configure with config.js.

Installation

Place the www/ folder somewhere web accessible. Then use the collect.py script to update www/config.json and write all device data into www/data/:

./misc/collect.py --image-url 'https://downloads.openwrt.org/{base}/{target}' https://downloads.openwrt.org  www/

or for local accessible OpenWrt builds:

./misc/collect.py --image-url 'https://downloads.openwrt.org/{base}/{target}' ~/openwrt/bin  www/

This should do it!

Settings image_url and info_url can also be passed to misc/collect.py to be included in the version specific overview.json files:

• --image-url: Download link template for the image files.
• --info-url: Link template that points to additional information.
• --version-pattern: Only handle release versions that match a regular expression.

Variables:

• {version}: Version in the profiles.json files. E.g. 19.07.4 or SNAPSHOT.
• {id}: Device identifier. E.g. tplink_archer-c7-v2
• {target}: Main- and sub target, E.g. ath79/generic.
• {base}: Distinct path to the targets directory. E.g. releases/18.06.8/targets/
  Handled by misc/collect.py only!

Generate OpenWrt JSON

The collect.py script merges data from profile.json files generated by OpenWrt. To enable generation, go to the build settings (make menuconfig): Global build settings ---> [*] Create JSON info files per build image.

If the option is not available (OpenWrt 18.06 or 19.07.3), apply commit openwrt/openwrt@881ed09.
