David Bauer cc854594b0 openwrt: backport combination of dual-flash partitions
Backport two patches combining dual-flash layouts of OCEDO as well as
UniFi AC boards.

The two firmware partitions are already combined on OpenWrt master to
prolong the life of these devices. It allows the device to store
firmware images up to 14 MB compared to the previous 7 MB.

The intention behind backporting these patches is to allow these devices
to have a wide update path to firmware-versions requiring this extra
space. Otherwise a device might not be able to install an upgrade which
exceeds a single firmware-partition.

For UniFi AC boards it should be noted that factory-installation will
not be possible with an image exceeding a single firmware-partition. In
this case, an older OpenWrt image that fits in a single partition and
supports writing the enlarged partition space is required.

Currently, this is not the case. As these devices are end-of-sale, this
will become less of a concern over time.

Build Gluon License GitHub release (latest SemVer)

Gluon

Gluon is a firmware framework to build preconfigured OpenWrt images for public mesh networks.

Getting started

We have a huge amount of documentation over at https://gluon.readthedocs.io/.

If you're new to Gluon and ready to get your feet wet, have a look at the Getting Started Guide.

Gluon's developers frequent an IRC chatroom at #gluon on hackint. There is also a webchat that allows for uncomplicated access from within your browser. This channel is also available as a bridged Matrix Room at #gluon:hackint.org.

Issues & Feature requests

Before opening an issue, make sure to check whether any existing issues (open or closed) match. If you're suggesting a new feature, drop by on IRC or our mailinglist to discuss it first.

We maintain a Roadmap for the future development of Gluon.

Use a release!

Please refrain from using the master branch for anything else but development purposes! Use the most recent release instead. You can list all releases by running git tag and switch to one by running git checkout v2022.1 && make update.

If you're using the autoupdater, do not autoupdate nodes with anything but releases. If you upgrade using random master commits the nodes might break eventually.
