Hello, did I understand correctly that the overhaul-sdxlemur branch is not ready yet, or can I download it and try it out?

There have been no changes to the branch in the last 3 months, and development has stopped.

I've been wanting to try out openwrt for a long time, and if it works, I want to keep it as a base.

I have a very light preliminary structure built. My attention had moved over to other stuff for a while, like SDXPINN.

I'll get back to it soon 😁

So you won't even be able to test what's posted there right now?

Uhh, sure I suppose.

https://github.com/iamromulan/quectel-rgmii-toolkit/tree/overhaul-SDXLEMUR/opkg-feed%2Finstaller

Extract openwrt-overlay-sdxlemur.tar.gz to /
Then reboot

Then extract openwrt-sdxlemur-skel.tar.gz to /

......and you should have a the preliminary OpenWRT subsystem to poke at. It's not done yet so I wouldn't expect it to be very usable. Also if you extract wrong and put in the wrong place you could cause your module to not boot. In which case you'll have to manually enter EDL and reflash. If you have something to contribute towards it go ahead and open a PR to that branch 👍

Thanks!

Do I need to delete SImpleAdmin before uploading openwrt?

SImpleAdmin is currently installed.
It would be great if you could write a detailed guide.

There would be more people for testers if there was a guide.

To be frank, its not ready for testing thus theres no available documentation for it. We only work with these devices on our free time and theres only 3 of us currently working on SDXPINN and PRAIRE. Lets be patient and hope that it will be accomplished soon! 😁

If you had made a guide.
I think you would have more helpers developing this repository.
3 people, and then dozens or even more people will come to your aid to help you complete the functionality.

The thing is, this project takes time, and the methods we’re using aren’t exactly standard—it’s a niche effort. Unfortunately, only those who can read and understand the code are currently able to contribute. That said, if someone would like to help by creating documentation instead of waiting on us, it would be very much appreciated and more than welcome!

A guide for what? How to develop? Just follow the files, read what they are doing. That's plenty of a guide honestly.

I do this in my spare time and give these repos for free to the world. I have no college degree or tech certifications. I have a high school diploma. That's it.

I figured out how to do this stuff simply on research/self-education. Naturally I have a full time job and a full time life, just like the others who work on this stuff. I prioritize progress on the actual functionality and ability to deploy this stuff. I spent time putting together both the wiki repo and YouTube videos to show the deployment process.

I'm not going to write development guide. Sorry. Closed.

P.S. Слава Украине 🇺🇦
