distribution update , oriented for use in various network devices such as routers and access points. OpenWrt supports many different platforms and architectures and has a build system that allows you to easily and conveniently perform cross-compilation, including various components in the assembly, which makes it easy to create a ready-made firmware adapted to specific tasks or a disk image with the desired set of pre-installed packages.
Assemblies for 37 target platforms.

Additionally, it can be noted about the transition of the OpenWrt project under the auspices of the Software Freedom Conservancy, which is engaged in the accumulation and redistribution of sponsorship funds and the provision of legal protection to free projects, contributing to their concentration on the development process. In particular, the SFC takes on the functions of collecting donations, becomes the owner of the project's assets and relieves developers from personal liability in the event of litigation.
Since SFC falls under a preferential tax category, spending funds for the development of OpenWrt through this organization will allow you to organize a tax deduction when transferring donations. Projects developed with the support of SFC include Git, Wine, Samba, QEMU, Mercurial, Boost, OpenChange, BusyBox, Inkscape, uCLibc, Homebrew and about a dozen other free projects.
