Nightly build 2017 is based on the latest OpenWRT release, version 22.03.2. (The current AREDN production release is based on OpenWRT 19.07 from January 2020).
There are significant changes in this nightly build:
All devices have been moved to the ath79 device tree (no more ar71xx).
The ipq40xx device tree has been added.
Each device now has its own image file.
Some filenames have been changed.
As a result devices need to be tested carefully, at least initially.
The most current status on nightly builds can be found in the README file here:
http://downloads.arednmesh.org/snapshots/readme.md
While this release has been tested on more than 90% of device types active on AREDN networks, it could not be tested on everything and support for some devices is either untested or not readily available. If you need a nightly build that’s missing please let us know and we will add it if possible (but you will need to provide hardware for development and testing).

Read MoreThe AREDN development team has shifted into high gear with this third release of 2022! This production release adds the many fixes and enhancements made since 3.22.6.0
AREDN production release 3.22.6.0 is now available. This is the release you've been looking for :-)
Since the last production release, there have been 136 separate ‘pull requests’ in the AREDN github repository. Those requests pulled these significant improvements and new features into the AREDN software:
1. The conversion from Perl programming to Lua is complete - the result is a significantly smaller, somewhat faster, code base.
2. Due to the recovered space in the image, tunnels are now always installed, so nothing needs to be done with them during future upgrades.
3. After this upgrade, future upgrades should be much more reliable, especially on low memory devices.
4. Tunnels will be prevented from accidentally connecting over the mesh.
Tunnels normally connect via the WAN interface, that being the point of the things. However, if the WAN interface on a node goes down for some reason (the tunnel server/client Internet fails) the node will select a new way to talk to the Internet by first routing over the Mesh. When this happens, tunnels could end up being routed partially over the mesh, which is bad because tunnels are also part of the mesh. So, we now prevent this by default by adding a firewall rule.
5. You can now adjust the poll rate for alerts....
It is now easier than ever to read and save the AREDN documentation you need.
To find it, go to the blue main menu bar on the AREDNmesh home page and hover your cursor over the third item DOCS.
When the dropdown menu appears, move your cursor over the first item -- ONLINE DOCS -- and click it using the left mouse button.
A new page will appear [https://arednmesh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/] with the latest set of published documents.
At the bottom left of the page, at the bottom of the Table of Contents column, you will see Read the Docs v:latest ⯆

The ham radio presentations from the SCALE 17X conference are now available on YouTube.
The presentations are:
1. Orv Beach, W6BI will detail that growth with emphasis on Southern California, with metrics, maps and graphs. He'll also cover some of the more significant network events, including the ability to stream video of recent brush fires from networked mountaintop webcams to YouTube.
2. Paul Wilkinson, K6IG talks about “Raspberry Pi + HAM Radio = Inexpensive repeater system”. With little effort a very powerful HAM repeater can be made with a Raspberry Pi, two HAM radios, and an internet connection. Some additional, yet inexpensive, hardware is required.
3. Ben Kuo, AI6YR presents “Linux, Raspberry PI, RTLSDR, LAME, and Open Source: A Recipe For Responding To Natural Disasters”. He covers both the why's and how's of putting together your own Raspberry Pi-based, open source system to help your own local community tap into the power of the crowdsourcing and social media emergency management.
