Ensure your GitHub account was linked in your Telecom Infra Project user profile, this will enable write access to OpenWiFi repositories. Also confirm Atlassian link is also present in user profile.

Step 3 : Build your device profile

Devices follow standard Linux patch process for enhancements and bug fixes. A development branch should be defined, perform work necessary to add support for the new device including a new profile for the build system.

Test your work locally, when confident push and submit a pull request for the next branch.

Follow the guidance posted: Source Code & Repositories

Step 4 : Submit Device for Community Lab Testing

To obtain access to TIP OpenWiFi support and regression, devices must be sent to the Community Test Lab for QA sanity automation. A formal process for obtaining a TIP OpenWiFi Logo mark will be launched in 2022.

Summary

If the pull request review is successful the new device will be merged.

When an ODM or OEM device vendor has been onboarded with license keys, the device will be included in nightly builds.
