please consider adding gnuton firmware https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng

We have placed some restrictions on what routers to support based on RMerlin's advice:

https://www.snbforums.com/threads/introducing-merlinau-the-ultimate-firmware-auto-updater-addon.88577/page-2#post-887594

So at the moment, only HND models & routers that are not End-of-Life are supported.
Given those restrictions, if your F/W versioning string follows the same format as RMerlin's F/W (e.g. "386.12_4", "3004_388.6_0") in both NVRAM-related vars & downloadable F/W zip files, it might be possible. Ultimately, it will also depend on whether one of us has a router model to test with your F/W; otherwise, it becomes difficult to support a platform on which we cannot test at all.

The current logic also pulls from SF and uses the routers model and built in update check script to get the versioning to construct the URL to get the update...

I don't know enough about gnuton since I don't have a router that supports the firmware, but ultimately I would say the biggest challenge would likely be how it's hosted if it's only hosted on Github and not on a public repo like SourceForge.

Github has the infrastructure to support high downloads, but finding and sparsing through a webpage with a bunch of different models and versions becomes less accurate than the route currently taken.

@micron888

Can you provide me the output of:

for nvramKey in productid build_name odmpid; do routerProductID=$(nvram get "$nvramKey") && [ -n "$routerProductID" ] && echo "$routerProductID" && break; done

And:

for nvramKey in productid build_name odmpid; do routerProductID="$(nvram get "$nvramKey")"; [ -n "$routerProductID" ] && echo "$routerProductID" && break; done

Also can you provide the output of:

nvram get buildno

and

nvram get build_name

Also the output of:

nvram get buildinfo

Thanks!

This is as close as I can get without the info above:
https://github.com/ExtremeFiretop/MerlinAutoUpdate-Router/tree/GnutonF/W

I suspect there will still be issues with the following code:

    if ! release_version="$(_GetLatestFWUpdateVersionFromRouter_)" || \
       ! _CheckNewUpdateFirmwareNotification_ "$current_version" "$release_version"
    then
        Say "No new firmware version update is found for [$PRODUCT_ID] router model."
        "$inMenuMode" && _WaitForEnterKey_ "$menuReturnPromptStr"
        return 1
    fi

But i don't have hardware to test.
If you find a dev on gnuton that wants to fork that branch and finish it, feel free :)

This was completed in PR: #186
It's now merged into the dev branch, and will likely be apart of the next release.

Thanks for suggestion :)
