Introducing the OpenWrt One/AP-24.XY Router Board

The "OpenWrt One/AP-24.XY" is the first official development board from the OpenWrt open-source community, built on the MediaTek MT7981B (Filogic 820) SoC and equipped with the MediaTek MT7976C dual-band WiFi 6 chipset.

Key Features of OpenWrt One:

• SoC: MediaTek Filogic 820 (MT7981B) with a dual-core ARM Cortex-A53, clocked at 1.3 GHz.
• Memory: 1GB DDR4 RAM.
• Storage: 256 MiB SPI NAND, 16 MiB NOR for system backup, ensuring dual storage redundancy to prevent bricking.
• Connectivity:
  • WiFi 6 with dual-band 3×3/2×2 MIMO.
  • 1 x 2.5Gbit WAN port.
  • 1 x 1Gbit LAN port.
• Expansion:
  • M.2 SSD (2230/2242 NVMe PCIe 2 x1) for additional storage.
  • USB 2.0 Type-A port.
  • mikroBUS expansion port for extended interface options.
  • Battery holder for an internal clock.

Collaboration and Community Support: Designed in collaboration with Banana Pi, OpenWrt One is set to be a significant milestone for the OpenWrt community. Banana Pi will manage manufacturing and distribution, contributing a portion of the sales proceeds to the Software Freedom Conservancy (SDC) to support the OpenWrt project. This initiative will help fund hosting costs, conferences, and other community activities.

The OpenWrt One/AP-24.XY aims to provide a reliable hardware platform that enhances the capabilities of OpenWrt, while also supporting the open-source ecosystem financially.
