The OpenWrt Project is a Linux router operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. Allows you to freely choose the software package you need to customize your router system. 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. It has more than 3000+ standardized application packages and a very rich third-party plug-in support, so you can easily replicate the same setup on any supported device.
Now you can replace the Android TV system of the TV Boxes with the Amlogic chip with the OpenWrt system, making it a powerful router. This project supports one-stop complete compilation of github.com (compiling from custom software packages to packaging firmware, all in one stop at github.com). Support localized packaging (firmware packaging in local Ubuntu and other environments). including OpenWrt firmware install to EMMC and update related functions. Support Amlogic s9xxx TV Boxes are a311d, s922x, s905x3, s905x2, s905l3a, s912, s905d, s905x, s905w, s905, etc. such as Belink GT-King, Belink GT-King Pro, UGOOS AM6 Plus, X96-Max+, HK1-Box, H96-Max-X3, Phicomm-N1, Octopus-Planet, Fiberhome HG680P, ZTE B860H, etc.
The latest version of the OpenWrt firmware can be downloaded in Releases. Welcome to use Fork for personalized OpenWrt firmware configuration. If you like it, Please click the Star.

💡Tip: The current s905w series of TV Boxes only support the use of the 5.15.y kernel, and cannot use the 5.10.y or higher version. Other types of TV Boxes can use optional kernel versions. Currently s905 TV Boxes can only be used in TF/SD/USB, other types of TV Boxes also support writing to EMMC. Please refer to the instructions for dtb and u-boot of each device.
Choose the corresponding firmware according to your box. Then write the IMG file to the USB hard disk through software such as Rufus or balenaEtcher. Insert the USB hard disk into the box. Common for all Amlogic s9xxx TV Boxes.

Log in to the default IP: 192.168.1.1 → Login in to openwrt → system menu → Amlogic Service → Upload updates manually / Download updates online
If you choose Upload Updates Manually OpenWrt firmware, You can upload the corresponding OpenWrt firmware package, such as openwrt_s9xxx_k5.15.50_xxx.img.gz (It is recommended to upload the compressed package, and the system will automatically decompress it. If you upload the decompressed xxx.img file, the upload may fail because the file is too large), After the upload is complete, the interface will display the Update firmware operation button, click to update.
If you choose Manually upload updates OpenWrt kernel, You can upload the three kernel files boot-xxx.tar.gz, dtb-amlogic-xxx.tar.gz, modules-xxx.tar.gz (Other kernel files are not required. If uploading at the same time does not affect the update, the system can accurately identify the required kernel files.)，After the upload is complete, the interface will display the Update Kernel operation button, click to update.
If you choose Online Download Update OpenWrt firmware or kernel, it will be downloaded according to Firmware download address and Kernel download address in Plugin Settings, you can customize and modify the download source, For details, please refer to the compilation and usage instructions of luci-app-amlogic.
Tip: Functions such as install/update are provided by luci-app-amlogic to provide visual operation support. Also supports command operations.

openwrt-tfAfter activating the remaining space, the kernel and OpenWrt system can be upgraded in TF/SD/USB.
If you feel that the memory of the current box is not enough when you are using applications with a large memory footprint such as docker, you can create a swap virtual memory partition, Change the disk space of /mnt/*4 A certain capacity is virtualized into memory for use. The unit of the input parameter of the following command is GB, and the default is 1.

openwrt-swap 1Supports backup/restore of the box's EMMC partition in TF/SD/USB. It is recommended that you back up the Android TV system that comes with the current box before installing the OpenWrt system in a brand new box, so that you can use it in the future when restoring the TV system.
Please start the OpenWrt system from TF/SD/USB, Log in to the default IP: 192.168.1.1 → Login in to openwrt → system menu → TTYD terminal → input command

kernel_sign: -ophubWhen making an OpenWrt system, the kernel and u-boot files used are the same files used to make an Armbian system. In order to avoid repeated maintenance, the relevant content is classified and placed in the corresponding resource repository, and it will be automatically downloaded from the relevant repository when it is used.
The kernel / u-boot and other resources used by this system are mainly copied from the project of unifreq/openwrt_packit, Some files are shared by users in Pull and Issues of amlogic-s9xxx-openwrt / amlogic-s9xxx-armbian / luci-app-amlogic / kernel and other projects. unifreq opened the door for us to use OpenWrt in TV Boxes, and was deeply influenced by him. My firmware has inherited his consistent standards in production and use. To thank these pioneers and sharers, I have recorded them in CONTRIBUTOR.md. Thanks again everyone for giving new life and meaning to the Boxes.
