OpenWrt ci40-v1.0.1 Release Notes

CRITICAL: To use OpenWrt ci40-v1.0.1 or higher, you MUST update the bootloader to uboot v1.0.4. Follow the instructions for upgrading Ci40 on https://docs.creatordev.io/ci40/guides/openwrt-platform.

  • Switch from legacy uImage to fitImage format (see Critical item above)

Additional Noteworthy OpenWrt Improvements

  • Waffle IO support added
  • Fixes for upstreaming support
