Upgrading to 24.10
==================

Sysupgrade can be used to upgrade a device from 23.05 to 24.10, and 
configuration will be preserved in most cases.

For for upgrades inside the OpenWrt 24.10 stable series for example from 
a OpenWrt 24.10 release candidate [Attended 
Sysupgrade](https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/attended.sysupgrade) 
is supported in addition which allows preserving the installed packages too.

  * Sysupgrade from 22.03 to 24.10 is not officially supported.

  * There is no configuration migration path for users of the ipq806x
    target for Qualcomm Atheros IPQ806X SoCs because it switched to DSA.
    You have to upgrade without saving the configuration.

  * User of the Linksys E8450 aka. Belkin RT3200 running OpenWrt 23.05 or
    earlier will need to run installer version v1.1.3 or later in order
    to reorganize the UBI layout for the 24.10 release. A detailed
    description is in the OpenWrt wiki. Updating without using the
    installer will break the device. Sysupgrade will show a warning
    before doing an incompatible upgrade.

  * Users of the Xiaomi AX3200 aka. Redmi AX6S running OpenWrt 23.05 or
    earlier have to follow a special upgrade procedure described in the
    wiki. This will increase the flash memory available for OpenWrt.
    Updating without following the guide in the wiki break the device.
    Sysupgrade will show a warning before doing an incompatible upgrade.

  * Users of Zyxel GS1900 series switches running OpenWrt 23.05 or
    earlier have to perform a new factory install with the initramfs
    image due to a changed partition layout. Sysupgrade will show a
    warning before doing an incompatible upgrade and is not possible.

Known issues
===========

   * **LEDs for Airoha AN8855 are not yet supported.** Devices like the
     Xiaomi AX3000T with an Airoha switch will have their switch LEDs
     powered off. This issue will be addressed in an upcoming OpenWrt
     SNAPSHOT and the OpenWrt 24.10 minor release.
   * **5GHz WiFi is non-functional on certain devices with ath10k
     chipsets.** Affected models include the Phicomm K2T,
     TP-Link Archer C60 v2, TP-Link Archer C60 v3 and possibly others.
