April 2026 (2026-04): DragonBluep/openwrt kernel 6.18 rollout across D1, Pistachio, SiFiveU, MXS, and SunXi targets. Key actions include generating v6.18 kernel files from the v6.12 baseline, refreshing target configurations, enabling 6.18 testing kernels, and removing legacy 6.12 support. Additional improvements include fixing build/config issues by restoring v6.12 baseline, adding missing symbols for 6.18, removing unused patches (e.g., D1 audio patches), enabling overlay support (f2fs) and a DRM client module in the video subsystem, and aligning cross-target patches to improve stability and upgrade readiness.

March 2026: Expanded OpenWrt on RISC-V with cross-version kernel support, maintained Pistachio compatibility, and boosted crypto performance. Key features delivered include SiFive U architecture support migrating OpenWrt kernels across 6.12–6.18 with 6.18 testing enabled, Pistachio kernel config/patch compatibility for 6.12/6.18, and RISC-V wolfSSL assembler optimizations delivering substantial cryptographic speedups. Major fixes encompassed adding missing symbols for 6.18 and restoring v6.12 files to preserve patch history. Overall impact: broader hardware support, faster cryptography, and improved maintainability/testing infrastructure. Technologies/skills demonstrated: kernel patching and cross-architecture OpenWrt work, RISC-V assembly optimization, performance benchmarking, and meticulous commit/history management for easier bisecting and future maintenance.

February 2026: Delivered critical hardware-support improvements for Sunxi-based OpenWrt devices through firmware and bootloader upgrades in the DragonBluep/openwrt repo. Demonstrated disciplined versioning, targeted patches, and device-specific configuration adjustments to broaden compatibility and stability across A52x/T52x-series devices.

December 2025 highlights: Delivered Sunxi Kernel Configuration Updates for DragonBluep/openwrt, upgrading to kernel 6.18 and restoring 6.12 configurations to maintain compatibility across sunxi devices. No major bugs fixed this month; focus on feature delivery and patch-history maintenance. Impact: expanded device support and reduced fragmentation with improved kernel patch traceability. Technologies/skills demonstrated: kernel configuration management, patch management, git history hygiene, automated commits for 6.18/6.12 transitions, and adherence to OpenWrt development practices (signed-off commits, bisect awareness).

Monthly work summary for 2025-10 focusing on PineCube Open-Source IP Camera support added to DragonBluep/openwrt, with build and device config updates in U-Boot and target configurations. No documented critical bugs; delivered end-to-end device integration and actionable deployment steps.

Month: 2025-08 for DragonBluep/openwrt. Focused on delivering Sunxi/OpenWrt hardware improvements and reliability enhancements. Major work includes boot-time modernization, better hardware parameter management, and ethernet stability across Sunxi boards.

June 2025 (2025-06) – OpenWrt on DragonBluep: Kernel upgrades, driver integration, boot script modernization, and packaging simplification across Pistachio and StarFive. These changes improve hardware support, reduce maintenance overhead, and streamline future kernel upgrades.

May 2025 (DragonBluep/openwrt) focused on delivering a consistent 6.12 kernel baseline across the portfolio, refreshing kernel configs, and tightening patch management. Key work spanned Sunxi, D1, Pistachio, StarFive, MXS, SiFiveU, SifiveU, DNS320L, and related U-Boot work, with emphasis on testing readiness, stability, and business value delivery.

April 2025 — DragonBluep/openwrt contributions focused on expanding hardware support and upgrading kernel configurations to kernel 6.12 across multiple targets, laying groundwork for future stability and maintainability.

February 2025: Platform stability and future hardware readiness improvements for DragonBluep/openwrt. Consolidated bootloader and firmware upgrades across supported boards and prepared the system for future hardware. Notable work includes bumping imx-bootlets to 10.12.01, OpenSBI to 1.6, U-Boot-SiFive to 2023.10, U-Boot-Sunxi to 2025.01, and adding Merrii Hummingbird A31 support on Sunxi, along with DDR timing improvements and a GCC13 compatibility patch, plus runtime validation across the board family. In addition, migrated the RISC-V ISA to rv64gc (rv64imafdc -> rv64gc) to include the 'g' compute extension and prep for vector extension on upcoming hardware. These efforts reduce deployment risk, improve cross-board stability, and position the platform for next-gen hardware.

Monthly work summary for 2024-10: Power Button Shutdown Enhancement and MCU Power Handling Improvements in coolsnowwolf/immortalwrt delivered a more reliable shutdown pathway and updated MCU power management to improve monitoring and shutdown command reliability. These changes focus on safety and user experience for power-button devices, aligning with hardware-specific needs and reducing risk of data loss during power events.
