Hey everyone, I’m looking to replace my router with a NanoPi R6S but want to do everything myself from Alpine Linux.

I’ve been doing a lot of research and it seems that the chipset and hardware are supported as of Linux 6.3, but looking at Alpine’s ARM documentation makes installation sound a bit more advanced than I’m used to (specifically, the partition layout and U-Boot are confusing to me).

Has anyone gone this route?

    I suppose what I could do is download a supported image (like OpenWRT) then get the image layout details from that in order to build my own image.

    I know I’m going about it the hard way but it’s something I don’t mind learning.
