The ACL engine has 512 entries, and the driver uses two at fixed indices with no way to install a rule from userspace. Add an allocator that places a rule on the entry chains the hardware can merge, with range compares on even entries, move the two small-packet rules onto it, and implement cls_flower_add and cls_flower_del for MAC, IPv4, IPv6, L4 port and port range, ICMP, IP protocol, DSCP, TCP flag and fragment keys, refusing any other key. The actions are pass, drop, trap, skbedit priority, redirect, mirred mirror, which claims both of the port mirror's analyzers, pedit of the DSCP byte and police on one of the 512 ACL meters, and set_rxnfc gives ethtool -N the queue action, refusing queues 12 to 143, the CPU port queues the scheduler does not serve, and a VF or RSS context, which the switch does not have. The engine matches the highest PRI, so a rule's priority is the 9-bit span minus its tc preference. The address family comes from the control key, since cls_flower registers both address keys over one union, and from the registered address key where ethtool_rx_flow_rule_create() leaves the control key out. On IPQ8074 every accepted action installs in_hw, an ICMP drop filter drops in the switch, and a pedit to 0x88 moves the datagrams to another egress queue.

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Download
Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.
If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.
An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or macOS system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.8+ rsync subversion unzip which
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
maketo build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
