# Porting OpenWRT to a board with a supported SoC
|
|
## Intro
|
|
Recently, some network devices caught my attention both on Aliexpress and Alibaba. Specifically, I found some interesting outdoor equipment for a very low price, ranging between 10-25$.

These are 2.4ghz AR9330 based boards, powered via POE (although on a non standard voltage), with two 10/100/1000 ethernet ports, an integrated antenna and a waterproof enclosure.

I received the first one from Aliexpress but i plan to get some other to test as well.

## PCB

From the PCB picture it is clear that the board has an easily accessible serial header and that it has an SOIC8 flash chip (Winbond 25Q64). |
