OpenWrt software has two distinct branches: a stable Release build that is suitable for production use, and a Development build that contains an ever-evolving set of enhancements.
| Stable Release builds | Development Snapshot builds |
|---|---|
| The Release builds have had significant testing. Use them for production, or for your home where your family will rely on a functioning router. More... | Get the latest with a Development build. These contain the latest technology, but may not work well, or at all. Be prepared to supply bug reports, etc. More... |
Go to the Table of Hardware or use firmware selector to locate the latest official release firmware for your device hardware.
After you have installed the OpenWrt firmware to your device, you can install additional software packages on your OpenWrt device.
OpenWrt ships with its own complete build system. You can download and compile your own firmware from source, adding advanced tweaks or modifications that can be done only at build time. The OpenWrt build system produces reproducible builds with checksums and Git versioning, all firmware you compile will be exactly the same until you change options or you update OpenWrt sources. Start here if you want to compile your own firmware.
If you just want to compile your program and create a custom package without compiling from source a whole firmware for all architectures you want to support, OpenWrt provides a convenient SDK package to do so. Start here if you want to create packages for your own software.
OpenWrt has a number of Buildbot computers building firmware releases. If you are interested in the latest developer snapshot release build activities, you can find the Buildbot activity in the following links:
The master OpenWrt source code repositories reside on the OpenWrt Git server.
The mirror of the master OpenWrt repository is located on GitHub.
