The Xiaomi MiWiFi 3A wireless router has a similar system architecture as the Xiaomi Mi 4A router, which is already officially supported by OpenWrt. Product website: https://www.mi.com/miwifi3a Device specification -------------------- SoC: MT7628AN MIPS_24KEc @ 580 MHz 2.4G-bgn 2x2 WiFi: MT7612EN 5G-an, ac 80 MHz 2T2R Flash: 16 MB DRAM: 64 MB Switch: MT7628AN (integrated in SoC) Ethernet: 1 x 10 /100 Mbps USB: None Antennas: 2 x 2,4 GHz and 2 x 5 GHz (all are external and non-detachable) LEDs: blue/red/amber Buttons: Reset Serial: 115200,8n1 MAC addresses as verified by OEM firmware: ------------------------------------------ use address source LAN *:DD factory 0x28 WAN *:DD factory 0x28 2g *:DE factory 0x4 5g *:DF factory 0x8004 OEM firmware uses VLAN's to create the network interface for WAN and LAN. Bootloader info: ---------------- The stock bootloader uses a "Dual ROM Partition System". OS1 is a deep copy of OS2. The bootloader starts OS2 by default. To force start OS1 it is needed to set "flag_try_sys2_failed=1". How to install: --------------- 1- Use OpenWRTInvasion to gain Telnet, SSH and FTP access: https://github.com/acecilia/OpenWRTInvasion [IP: 192.168.31.1 | Username: root | Password: root | FTP-Port: 21] 2- Connect to router using telnet or ssh. 3- Backup all partitions. Use command "dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=/tmp/mtd0". Copy /tmp/mtd0 to computer using ftp. 4- Copy openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-xiaomi_miwifi-3a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin to /tmp in router using ftp. 5- Enable UART access and change start image to OS1. nvram set uart_en=1 nvram set flag_last_success=1 nvram set boot_wait=on nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=1 nvram commit 6- Erase OS1 & OS2 and install OpenWrt mtd erase OS1 mtd erase OS2 mtd -r write /tmp/openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-xiaomi_miwifi-3a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin OS1 Credits: -------- This PR is based on the work of Zehao Zhang (Github: @ZZH-Finalize) that he had published in the PR: #15698 Signed-off-by: Olgun Demir <olgun.demir@mail.com.tr> Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/18427 Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de> |

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. 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.
Sunshine!
Download
Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.
If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.
An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or macOS system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.7+ rsync subversion unzip which
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -a
to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -a
to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfig
to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
make
to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
Related Repositories
The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of
different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package
manager called opkg
. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port
packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
