The LEDE Project source tree, a fork that later reunified with OpenWrt, providing a Linux operating system build system for embedded devices such as WiFi routers. It offers a fully writable filesystem with package management and a cross-compilation build framework for creating custom firmware images.
Use cases
- build custom firmware for my wifi router
- replace vendor stock firmware on an embedded device
- cross-compile packages for mips or arm routers
- create a minimal linux os for an embedded board
- customize router software with my own packages
- set up a build environment for openwrt firmware images
When to choose
- you need custom firmware for a supported router or embedded device
- you want a package-manageable linux system on constrained hardware
- you are porting packages or developing for OpenWrt/LEDE targets
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose desktop or server linux distribution
- your device is not supported by OpenWrt
- you cannot build on a case-sensitive GNU/Linux, BSD, or macOS host
