June 2026 monthly summary for DragonBluep/openwrt focused on stabilizing boot behavior for Keenetic/Netcraze devices by aligning the NMBM reserved block count in the device tree to the factory value. Implemented a Mediatek patch to increase NMBM max-reserved-blocks from 64 to 256, addressing boot failures where the NMBM driver could not locate its signature and ensuring compatibility with stock firmware configurations. The change, captured in commit 7085d165524f8f1623cd88327725073c25610bad, restores the stock 256 blocks value and was verified against stock firmware, with regression checks to prevent regressions. Business impact includes improved boot reliability on affected units, reduced field escalations, and smoother onboarding for Keenetic devices. Skills demonstrated include kernel patching, device-tree configuration, Mediatek NMBM driver tuning, patch documentation, and end-to-end validation across builds.

March 2026: Delivered targeted Mediatek RTL improvements for DragonBluep/openwrt. Key outcomes include comprehensive Device Tree updates for RTL8261BE/KN-1812 with interrupt support, node name corrections, partition label fixes, removal of unused phy-connection-type, and memory addressing corrections; PHY stability improvements including RTL8261N reset timing alignment and MDIO drive strength set to 10 mA for KN-1812; USB3.1 GEN2 XS-PHY support enabled on MediaTek SoCs. Achieved DT naming consistency across MT7992/KN-1812 families and corrected partition labeling for kap-630/kn-3811/3911. These changes improve hardware compatibility, reliability, and performance, with clear traceability to upstream PRs (e.g., 22575/22576).

Concise monthly summary for 2026-02 focused on device-tree correctness and OpenWrt maintenance in the DragonBluep/openwrt repository. This month prioritized reliability and precise patching in the mediatek DTS workflow, aligning with hardware expectations and OpenWrt development practices.

January 2026 performance: Implemented WAN Status and Label Enhancements for DragonBluep/openwrt, including corrected WAN MAC labeling and an enabled WAN LED indicator for Keenetic KN-(3711/3811/3911). Conducted NVMEM MAC & SPI calibration cleanup by removing absent SPI calibration settings and simplifying NVMEM MAC configuration, improving maintainability and reducing misconfiguration risk. Overall impact: clearer connectivity feedback, improved device reliability, and easier maintenance across Keenetic KN-series. Technologies demonstrated: mediatek driver tweaks, low-level hardware integration, and commit-based configuration cleanup.

Month: 2025-11 – DragonBluep/openwrt: Delivered new Mediatek-based device support and reliability improvements. Implemented Keenetic KN-1812 / Netcraze NC-1812 device tree integration and LEDs/buttons/interface configuration, along with a hardware reset flow preceding PCIe host detection to improve endpoint detection and overall functionality.

December 2024 performance summary for coolsnowwolf/immortalwrt: Key feature delivered: added Cudy AP3000 v1 router support by introducing a new device tree file and updating configuration scripts, with hardware specs defined (SoC, RAM, Flash, Ethernet, WiFi, Button, LED) to ensure correct recognition and setup within the firmware. Major bugs fixed: none reported this month. Overall impact and accomplishments: broadens device compatibility, enabling ImmortalWrt on the Cudy AP3000 v1, which expands market reach and reduces onboarding friction for users with this hardware. Demonstrated technologies/skills: device-tree development, Mediatek/Filogic integration, firmware configuration, hardware specification definition, and Git-based change management.

November 2024 monthly summary for coolsnowwolf/immortalwrt focused on expanding device support and platform coverage.

Month: 2024-10 | Repository: coolsnowwolf/immortalwrt. Expanded hardware coverage with initial Keenetic KN-3911 support for MT7981-based devices (512MB RAM, 128MB SPI NAND). Delivered device-specific integration (LEDs, buttons, 2.5G Ethernet) and a TFTP-based flashing workflow for OpenWrt images. Also enabled MT D virtual concatenation (MTD) support to provide the correct flash layout for this device. This work accelerates bring-up of MTK Filogic devices and enables faster, more reliable OpenWrt deployment on new hardware.

June 2024: Focused on hardware support enablement for Keenetic KN-3911 in DragonBluep/openwrt by centralizing image generation logic. No major bugs fixed this month; main accomplishment was refactoring the ramips image workflow to include/image-commands.mk, setting the foundation for easier hardware onboarding and faster delivery of new devices.
