 Unfortunately, there is currently no pre-built OpenWrt image for this target in the Firmware Selector. There are two options to obtain an image and set up a working OpenWrt system on this device:
-  * You can build your image manually following the instructions described [[:toh:mellanox:spectrum_sn2000_series#image_configuration|here]].

-The instructions on this page will show you how to install OpenWrt on the switch by flashing it from a USB device. You have to connect the host PC to the serial port of the network switch to navigate through the BIOS and the installation steps. The parameters of the serial connection can be found [[:toh:mellanox:spectrum_sn2000_series#serial|here]].
