The requirements below refer to the Host Computer, which is used to compile your customized OpenWrt image, not to Edge 2.

  • Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or later
  • Disk Space: At least 25 GB of free space
  • Memory: Minimum of 4 GB RAM (8 GB recommended)

If you don’t want to compile the image yourself, you can download the ready OpenWrt image and then flash it to the Edge 2.

Flashing the Firmware
Step 1: Prepare the Image

If the image is compressed (i.e., with a .gz extension), decompress it first:

gzip -d openwrt-rockchip-armv8-mixtile_edge2-squashfs-sysupgrade.img.gz

Step 2: Write Image to SD Card or eMMC

Use the dd command to flash the image to your SD card or eMMC device. Be very careful with the device path (/dev/sdX) to avoid overwriting your main system disk:

sudo dd if=openwrt-rockchip-armv8-mixtile_edge2-squashfs-sysupgrade.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress && sync

Replace /dev/sdX with your actual device (e.g., /dev/sdb).
