I purchased a rugged-som board preloaded with OpenWRT and am having issues downloading/updating packages. I also cannot upgrade the firmware using built-in sysupgrade tools. I suspect this is because the firmware version that is loaded on the board is no longer supported.

Are there plans to update the github release to a newer version? Release v24.10.0-botblox_v1.0.0 · botblox/openwrt · GitHub

Steps to reproduce:

From CLI

opkg update

Downloading https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/imx/imx6ull/packages/Packages.gz
*** Failed to download the package list from
