| <del>Currently (August 2018) the ath79 target is a **source-only** target. This means there is no image build by buildbot on trunk/master.</del>\\ | In case your device was previously on the ar71xx target, see **[[docs:guide-user:installation:ar71xx.to.ath79|Upgrade from ar71xx to ath79]]** for instructions. |
