📣 This blog has been archived, CatWrt latest release page.
On October 10th last year, I publicly released the OpenWrt soft router firmware I compiled. This update brings new features and special functions, with a durable firmware main and side single-arm that are very stable and efficient.
Based on the Lean source code pulled from the repository on 2022-6-28, carefully crafted!

Upgrade#
As long as it is developed and compiled based on the Lean source code, you can use CatWrt. In OpenWrt, go to System - Backup/Upgrade to flash the new firmware by selecting the downloaded img file to retain the configuration and upgrade to CatWrt.
When using system upgrade, please pay attention to a few points:
- Whether the overlay has been expanded
- Whether the virtual hard disk format supports growth
- Whether it is based on Lean source code
If not, it may lead to failure to flash, configuration retention failure, or more strange issues. A fresh installation is recommended.
Help#
Tip: If there are any sector errors when using the IMG writing tool, just restart and enter OpenWrt.
Compilation is not a perfect task, and bugs are inevitable. If you encounter problems, leave a comment below or find real-time chat software to contact me in About Me. If you use my firmware, you can have simple and free technical consultations; if it's paid, that would be even better. I won't respond if you use someone else's firmware!
