I don't think this should be promoted as coming with OpenWrt preconfigured. This device has no vanilla OpenWrt support, and is unlikely if it will ever have it, considering they seem to be using a proprietary SDK with hardware offload that requires binary blobs with a separate license. Which means you're only getting support as long as they are willing to maintain their fork. So selling this as if it has an OpenWrt support out of the box is deceptive, especially considering the price tag. This is akin to all those SBC advertising Linux support, but then coming with an outdated kernel with no source.
