Amlogic S9xxx Openwrt

This project is an OpenWrt firmware builder and specialized Linux router distribution designed to repurpose Amlogic S9xxx series hardware into functional routers. It provides a hardware adaptation layer consisting of kernel modifications and drivers that enable the operating system to run on Amlogic ARM SoC devices.

The project features an automated firmware pipeline for scheduling, building, and distributing custom images. It includes a device recovery toolkit for bootstrapping, flashing, and restoring factory images, and supports the conversion of devices previously running different mobile operating systems.

Capabilities cover custom firmware generation through software package selection and source code modification, alongside targeted kernel compilation for hardware stability. The system also provides utilities for creating compressed backups of existing Android systems and managing kernel updates through terminal or web interfaces.

Features
