Rooter build for Pi4

Post by hw1353 »

Has anyone/ Does anyone have a goldenorb/rooter build for the raspberry pi 4?
(Better question, is there even any support for Pi4 and OpenWRT?)


I'm getting ready to try and build my own verison of rooter for the Pi4. The version off their website works great on my Pi3b.

I'm looking to build a POE/Pi LTE setup soon. I've been doing testing with my Pi3b...so far its been stable a few days, currently running a MC7354 in a USB enclosure with the Pi3B image from GoldenOrb.

However, the wifi support on the pi3b and goldenorb is not so great, and I'm a bit limited to 10/100 and the USB output power, which is what interests me in a PI4 build.

Any help/guidelines if anyone has done it would be great.

I saw a build in another thread.. Not goldenorb but modemmanager and other LTE relevant stuff included.. I don't have time to look for it atm but it shouldn't be too hard to locate

These statements were true at least about a week ago. I haven't looked lately.

There's no GoldenOrb release for the RPi4.
There's no stable OpenWRT release for RPi4.
The RPi3 image will NOT run on an RPI4.
The RPi 2 image *might* run on a RPi4 in 32 bit mode (I've not confirmed).

There is a daily OpenWRT snapshot for RPi4

There is a community build of OpenWRT that looks very promising here: https://github.com/wulfy23/rpi4/tree/master/builds/
Discussion here: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/rpi4-community-build/69998

Wifi is not working properly on RPi4 builds. There are some kernel patches that need to make it over from the mainline to OpenWRT.
