OpenWrt, the open source firmware, is celebrating its 20th anniversary and is proposing a "fully upstream supported hardware design" to ensure future-proof router hardware without the need for "binary blobs." The proposed "OpenWrt One" board aims to be affordable, with publicly available schematics and code, but will not be produced or sold by OpenWrt.
