This is the WRTnode, a high performance CPU, low power consuming, cheap, and small development board that can run OpenWRT OS and its therefor also easy to port all Linux open source software to.
What does WRTnode aim for? Maybe different people have different opinions. The creators consider it as a high speed digital version of 'Arduino'. Since it can connect and interact with USB devices like a camera and a sound card, we can collect images and sounds at the same time and stream out multimedia data in real time. With its A/D converter it can directly interact with the physical world like all kinds of sensors and motors or actuators.
Features:
- WRTnode is based on Wi-Fi AP-SOC and is an open source development board
- Open source hardware for OpenWrt
- Mini Linux + Wi-Fi board
- Easy and complete IDE
- Smart machines' heart
- Low power consuming
- Complete I/Os, high performance
- 300MBit/s Wi-Fi and low price
Hardware Specification:
- MTK MT7620N 580MHz mips CPU (MIPS24KEc)
- 512Mb DDR2 RAM
- 128Mb SPI Flash ROM
- 300Mbit Wi-Fi 2T2R 802.11n 2.4 GHz
- 23GPIOs
- 5-Port PHY (JTAG)

- Only 45mm*50mm in size
Software Features:
- Based on OpenWrt BARRIER BREAKER (Bleeding Edge, r41508)
- rt2860v2 Wi-Fi driver hacked by lintel
- Customized uboot hacked by manfeel
- WRTnode aplci up link Wi-Fi configuration (aps/vw/nr/ia)
- Luci Wi-Fi wpa patch for rt2860v2
- Local DNS: add i.wrtno.de & wrtnode.lan besides openwrt.lan to WRTnode. The default WRTnode IP is 192.168.8.1
- WRTnode additional features (all sources available on github):
- Opencv 2.4.8
- Native gcc-mipsel on mt7620 and bin-utils
- Porting linino (Arduino yun) source to WRTnode
- Shine: fast fixed-point mp3 encoding
- And some WRTnode demo apps:
- opencv application demo
- mechanical control demo
- RESTful front-end demo and some other things
WRTnode firmware, SDK and cross-compiler toolchain use the OpenWrt trunk version for WRTnode maintenance and support by OpenWrt.org official. This way, the WRTnode can use the market all the programs using the MT7620 router firmware and associated SDK and cross-compiler toolchain.
The WRTnode comes in a very nice transparent plastic box, inside the box you get WRTnode stickers too. The box is useful to store various small items useful for WRTnode (USB memory stick, I2C port expander module, jumpers and so on).
