# Yet Another Firmware Selector

A simple OpenWrt firmware selector using autocompletion. Uses plain
HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Checkout the [Demo](https://mwarning.github.io/yet_another_firmware_selector/).

## Run

* Download repository and change directory
* Start webserver (e.g. `python3 -m http.server`)
* Go to `http://localhost:8000` in your web browser

Configure with [config.js](config.js).

## Update Database

The `names-<version>.json` files are based on JSON files created by OpenWrt
(master): `Global build settings  ---> [*] Create JSON info files per build
image`.

A [Python script](misc/collect.py) is included to merge the JSON files:
`./collect.py bin/ --url
'https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/{version}/targets/{target}' >
names-test.json`.

For the OpenWrt 18.06 and 19.07 releases, you need to patch OpenWrt to output JSON files for collect.py (commit [openwrt/openwrt@881ed09](https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/881ed09ee6e23f6c224184bb7493253c4624fb9f)).
