Custom OpenWRT Build Assistance
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I want to generate a clean, reproducible OpenWRT image that includes only the packages and kernel options my network actually needs. Your role is to prepare the full build environment, trim away bloat, resolve any dependency headaches, then hand back an image that flashes without surprises. I already have the source tree and a Linux build box; what I lack is the time (and a few tricks) to configure, patch, and compile everything properly.
Here is what I expect at the end:
• A ready-to-flash firmware image compiled from the current OpenWRT branch I specify
• A script or Makefile fragment that rebuilds the image in one step on a fresh machine
• A short README outlining the key configs, any patches applied, and how to reproduce the exact hash I will be running
If you prefer specific tools—ImageBuilder, Buildroot, Dockerized toolchains—let me know; I am flexible so long as the process is repeatable. I will test the image on my hardware and confirm that networking, package installs, and system logging work before signing off.
