-===== Gluon ===== +==== OpenWrt Firmware Selector ==== 
-Gluon is a modular framework for creating OpenWrt-based firmware images for wireless mesh nodes. +Modern Javascript interface that allows to locate and download an OpenWrt image. Note this implementation is not an image builder frontend and is simply and official image locator tool.
-Several Freifunk communities in Germany use Gluon as the foundation of their Freifunk firmware.+
  
-Documentation: [[https://gluon.readthedocs.io/en/stable/]]+  * [[https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/]]
  
-===== Freifunk Berlin firmware ===== +Based on original Attended Sysupgrade interface from [[https://sudhanshu16.github.io/openwrt-firmware-selector/]] 
-This tool creates customized OpenWrt images for the needs of Freifunk Berlin. +==== Chef Online Imagebuilder / Attended Sysupgrade(asu) ==== 
-It builds images directly from the OpenWrt source code to create an Imagebuilder and SDK. +Javascript app that connects to a Attendedsysupgrade server via an API, this is a work in progress. It's frontend resembles the Firmware Selector although provides customization options such as package selection.
-The final images are build with the created Imagebuilder or a prebuild Imagbuilder can be used directly.+
