ImmortalWrt is a fork of OpenWrt, with more packages ported, more devices supported, better performance, and special optimizations for mainland China users.
Compared the official one, we allow to use hacks or non-upstreamable patches / modifications to achieve our purpose. Source from anywhere.

Default login address: http://192.168.1.1 or http://immortalwrt.lan

• Based on the HANWCKF's immortalwrt-mt798x library
• Look at Quick Start before you use it
• Default settings:

  System:
  
    username: root
    password: password
  
  WIFI:
  
    name: FamilyROS -2G OR -5G OR -6G
    encryption: PSK2
    password: password
    
  

To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.

To build with this project, Debian12 is preferred. And you need use the CPU based on AMD64 architecture, with at least 4GB RAM and 25 GB available disk space. Make sure the Internet is accessible.

The following tools are needed to compile ImmortalWrt, the package names vary between distributions.

• Here is an example for Debian12 users:
  

  • Method 1:

    Setup dependencies via APT

    sudo apt update -y
    sudo apt full-upgrade -y
    sudo apt install -y ack antlr3 asciidoc autoconf automake autopoint binutils bison build-essential \
      bzip2 ccache clang clangd cmake cpio curl device-tree-compiler ecj fastjar flex gawk gettext gcc-multilib \
      g++-multilib git gperf haveged help2man intltool lib32gcc-s1 libc6-dev-i386 libelf-dev libglib2.0-dev \
      libgmp3-dev libltdl-dev libmpc-dev libmpfr-dev libncurses5-dev libncursesw5 libncursesw5-dev libreadline-dev \
      libssl-dev libtool lld lldb lrzsz mkisofs msmtp nano ninja-build p7zip p7zip-full patch pkgconf python2.7 \
      python3 python3-pip python3-ply python3-docutils qemu-utils re2c rsync scons squashfs-tools subversion swig \
      texinfo uglifyjs upx-ucl unzip vim wget xmlto xxd zlib1g-dev libfuse-dev

Note:

• Do everything as an unprivileged user, not root, without sudo.
• Using CPUs based on other architectures should be fine to compile ImmortalWrt, but more hacks are needed - No warranty at all.
• You must not have spaces or non-ascii characters in PATH or in the work folders on the drive.
• If you're using Windows Subsystem for Linux (or WSL), removing Windows folders from PATH is required, please see Build system setup WSL documentation.
• Using macOS as the host build OS is not recommended. No warranty at all. You can get tips from Build system setup macOS documentation.
• For more details, please see Build system setup documentation.

1. Run git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/lazyoop/immwrt-mt798x-Stitch-Enhanced.git to clone the source code.

2. Run cd immwrt-mt798x-Stitch-Enhanced to enter source directory.

3. You can either use the default feed or select the appropriate feed from the otherfeeds folder and need to rename it feeds.conf

   # example:
   
   cp -a otherfeeds/immwrt.conf feeds.conf
   
   

4. Run ./scripts/feeds update -a to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

5. Run ./scripts/feeds install -a to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/

6. Copy the configuration file for your device from the defconfig directory to the project root directory and rename it .config

   # MT7981
   cp -f defconfig/mt7981-ax3000.config .config
   
   # MT7986
   cp -f defconfig/mt7986-ax6000.config .config
   
   # MT7986 256M Low Memory
   cp -f defconfig/mt7986-ax6000-256m.config .config
   

7. Run make menuconfig to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

   • Note:
     • GCC11 is recommended, versions lower than GCC10 may affect the build.

8. Run make -j$(nproc) to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.

The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of different categories. All packages are installed via the ImmortalWrt package manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port packages to ImmortalWrt, please find the fitting repository below.

• LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.
• ImmortalWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.
• OpenWrt Routing: Packages specifically focused on (mesh) routing.
