Continued OpenWRT support?

I wanted to inquire about continued OpenWRT support. It looks like the OpenWRT Morse Micro support is still on the older OpenWRT 23.X versions. OpenWRT recently released 25.12. I also note that the morse-feed on GitHub hasn’t changed in about 5 months.

Before I port your current feed to the latest OpenWRT, I wanted to see if I we might see a new dev release - 2.10-dev - sometime soon?

Thanks

I can’t offer any dates, but we are working on this :slight_smile:

Adding another voice here from the amateur radio emergency communications community. I’m running two Heltec HT-HD01 V2 units on AREDN (Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network), which is built on OpenWrt. The current Morse Micro driver (1.16.4) is incompatible with the newer Linux kernel that AREDN uses (6.6.119), and the AREDN development team has confirmed they are blocked waiting on an updated driver release from Morse Micro before they can add proper V2 hardware support.

AREDN is used by licensed amateur radio operators across the US for emergency communications networks. There’s growing interest in HaLow for extending mesh coverage through terrain and foliage that microwave frequencies can’t penetrate. Right now that’s completely stalled because the driver doesn’t work on current OpenWrt/kernel versions.

An updated driver that supports OpenWrt 24.x+ and Linux kernel 6.x would unblock AREDN and likely several other projects building on HaLow. Is there any timeline for the next release?

Just to keep things interesting, OpenWRT backports much newer wifi drivers into older kernels, so it currently uses 6.18

AREDN will port the current Morse Micro driver to this if we have to - we’ve done it before - but it’d be nice not to duplicate someone elses, better quality, work.

Thanks
