For kernel 4.19 it probably makes sense to use mostly mainline > without many modifications, but would this also work for kernel 4.14? > Damn, even worse then. 4.14 can work but it requires some backporting in order to support 3B+, I started it some time ago but newer quite finished. Got only to 16 patches, but there could potentially be more as a lot of features are only available in newer kernels. https://github.com/robimarko/openwrt/tree/Pi-4.14/target/linux/brcm2708
Currently we are pretty much patching 4.9 kernel to become rpi-4.9.y branch which is hard to maintain and even harder to rebase against newer kernels which I assume is why its still stuck on 4.9 Regards Robert Marko > Hauke > _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
