OpenWRT install notes
** Note that you will need the official Pi 5 power supply or a 5V @ 5Amps supply otherwise the board will not boot up! **
It works out of the box with the latest Raspberry Pi OS. For OpenWRT, since there are no stable release for Pi 5, you’ll need to download the daily snapshot. Snapshot build do not include the web interface as well as additional network drivers, so you’ll need to add the kernel module before download.
Under firmware-selector.openwrt.org , select snapshot build, then search for “Raspberry Pi 5”. Then on the next page, select “Customize installed packages” and add the following inside the “installed packages” area:
” kmod-r8169 luci luci-ssl ”
Click on “request build”, then you can download the image which will work with this card.
