OpenWrt 24.10.0 (main firmware)

Compatibility

This release is only compatible with devices that have been updated using these instructions.

If you attempt to use it without having previously updated your device with the above instructions, then you'll most likely brick it!

Upgrade

The upgrade to 24.10.0 can be performed from either the main firmware or the recovery firmware.

Doing it from the main firmware gives you more flexibility:

• You can upgrade using the CLI or LuCI
• You can easily preserve your changes

While from the recovery firmware:

• You can only use the CLI
• You must manually backup and restore your changes

Upgrading from the Main Firmware (CLI)

Start by copying the new firmware to the /tmp folder, check its md5sum and then follow the instructions below.

• To upgrade and preserve your changes:

sysupgrade -o /tmp/openwrt-24.10.0-ath79-generic-zsun_sd100-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

• To upgrade without preserving your changes:

sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-24.10.0-ath79-generic-zsun_sd100-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

Upgrading from the Recovery Firmware (CLI)

Start by copying the new firmware to the /tmp folder, check its md5sum and then follow the instructions below.
