Banana Pi's $31 BPI-WiFi 6 router runs a fork of OpenWrt - Liliputing (liliputing.com)

New router with OpenWrt compatibility out of the box! It's a fork, but of what I am reading it's similar approach to GL.iNet routers with little work to flash a vanilla version.

This is interesting. A few questions though.

How hackable is it? Are other distros or OSes devs going to be able to get their system ported to it? Seeing Debian, Gentoo, NetBSD, or OpenBSD on this would be pretty cool.

Armbian lists several BPi boards as supported. Has anyone run Armbian on the BPi stuff?

I have, but it was one of the very old bananas. Should dig out out sometime.
