Get additional software packages
After you have installed the OpenWrt firmware to your device, you can install additional software packages on your OpenWrt device.
Build your own firmware
OpenWrt ships with its own complete build system. You can download and compile your own firmware from source, adding advanced tweaks or modifications that can be done only at build time. The OpenWrt build system produces reproducible builds with checksums and Git versioning, all firmware you compile will be exactly the same until you change options or you update OpenWrt sources. Start here if you want to compile your own firmware.
Assemble your own firmware
OpenWrt provides convenient tools to integrate pre-built packages into a custom firmware image, striking a good balance between firmware customization and time/resources required. All packages integrated this way will be downloaded from the same online repositories used for updates, so the process will take minutes even on weak PCs. Start here if you want to assemble your own firmware.
Build your own packages
If you just want to compile your program and create a custom package without compiling from source a whole firmware for all architectures you want to support, OpenWrt provides a convenient SDK package to do so. Start here if you want to create packages for your own software.
