OpenWrt/upstream

@@ -4 +4 @@
 Gateworks takes an active role in the !OpenSource community and as such continually submits patches to upstream projects like the Linux kernel, the U-Boot bootloader, and OpenWrt. As such pre-built OpenWrt images and packages from the upstream OpenWrt auto-builders generally work very well.

+== Patches 
+
+While upstream  can be used and is compatible with the Gateworks Venice SBCs, it does not include any custom patches that Gateworks has listed here: [https://dev.gateworks.com/openwrt/24.10/patches/]
+
+These patches are usually for features that may or may not be required in your system. 
+So while it is possible to use the OpenWrt firmware selector and builder, one can still build the Gateworks OpenWrt release via the instructions here: [wiki:OpenWrt/building#BuildingOpenWrtforGateworksProducts]
