> Plus firmware updates area always an adventure. To somewhat eliminate the chances of adventure, I’ve profiled the setup for each of my many OpenWRT devices and created unique profiles for them in a (reasonably) simple Git repo[1]. All I need to do to get device-specific firmware is to update the OpenWRT version-number in a single makefile and the rest happens automatically. I’ve even setup Github Actions to build the firmware for me (basically, run make), so I can even get/build new firmware from my phone. I’ve yet to have any issues when flashing these builds. It used to be much worse when flashing the regular “official” OpenWRT image and restoring packages afterwards. Couldn’t be simpler!
