Bogotá Mesh — Firmware Archive Mirror
================================================================

This directory contains a mirror of selected OpenWrt 24.10.6
firmware images for hardware historically used in the Bogotá
Mesh community network (2008–2014): Ubiquiti NanoStation series,
TP-Link CPE210 outdoor units and TP-Link Archer C7 indoor routers.

These binaries are the OFFICIAL, UNMODIFIED OpenWrt releases
from the OpenWrt Project (https://openwrt.org). We host this
mirror as part of the Bogotá Mesh editorial archive to preserve
the practical possibility of building the kind of community
network the project pioneered.

INTEGRITY VERIFICATION
----------------------------------------------------------------
Always verify SHA-256 checksums after download:

  sha256sum -c sha256sums.txt

The sha256sums.txt file contains the official checksums
extracted from OpenWrt's signed release manifest at:
  https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.6/targets/ath79/generic/sha256sums

Cross-verification: compute the hash and compare against the
upstream manifest. If they don't match, do NOT flash the device.

WHY OPENWRT AND NOT "NIGHTWING"
----------------------------------------------------------------
The historical Nightwing firmware described in the Bogotá Mesh
documentation was a custom OpenWrt build prepared by the
collective during 2010–2014. The repositories that hosted those
specific images are no longer online. OpenWrt with the
batman-adv package provides the same fundamental capability
(BATMAN routing, automatic IP assignment, mesh interface
configuration) on contemporary hardware.

Once flashed, install batman-adv from the package manager:

  opkg update
  opkg install batctl-default kmod-batman-adv

For full mesh setup follow the OpenWrt documentation at:
