OpenWrt target mediatek/filogic — profile openwrt_one

The dual-flash design (NAND + NOR) means the device can always recover from a bad NAND flash by booting from NOR. This makes it particularly suitable for CI where frequent reflashing happens.

Lab placement

Place name VLAN (isolated) VLAN (mesh)
openwrt_one_1 104 200

Power via Arduino relay. Serial console via USB-C.

Firmware

openwrt-one-initramfs-kernel.itb         # OpenWrt (ITB format)
lime-openwrt-one-initramfs-kernel.itb       # LibreMesh

TFTP path: /srv/tftp/openwrt_one_1/

Note

The OpenWrt One uses .itb (FIT image) format, not .bin. Make sure the TFTP configuration points to the correct file extension.
