Ehm, I did say what I found and works, not necessarily what is best. I'm also trying to do the same and info is very meh. Anyway did you try adding files in a /files folder you create in the source folder? various sources claim that stuff in /files should theoretically go in the rootfs's / when building the image, so if you make /files/etc/config/myconfig it should go in the right place. according to some posts in openwrt forum it seems to overwrite stock configuration at build time. https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=22517 But I've not tried that yet in my project so I can't tell. If it works (or not) please tell me as I'm also interested in that. -Alberto _______________________________________________ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
