You Can Now Run Debian GNU/Linux on the OpenWrt One Open-Source Router
Collabora’s Sjoerd Simons has developed openwrt-one-debian, a set of scripts and tools that make it easier for one to install a full Debian GNU/Linux operating system on the OpenWrt One device, leveraging its NVMe storage and giving you the freedom to enable custom services, support for containers, development tools, and more.
Still not convinced? This project aims to provide you with a complete operating system with familiar package management, services, and development workflows, instead of using a constrained embedded userspace, as OpenWrt One ships with the OpenWrt Linux-based operating system by default.

Collabora Shows How to Run Debian on the OpenWrt One Using NVMe Storage
Collabora has shared a new project demonstrating how the OpenWrt One can be repurposed from a traditional networking appliance into a compact, general-purpose Linux system. The project, called openwrt-one-debian, enables users to install and run a full Debian operating system on the device by booting directly from NVMe storage.

OpenWrt One gains support for running Debian
OpenWrt One is a developer focused router designed to support embedded Linux work on standardized hardware. The platform serves as a reference device for the OpenWrt community and includes open hardware documentation intended to support system bring up and software development.
The work required enabling Debian to boot and operate on the device’s hardware. Engineers addressed low level platform support, bootloader configuration, and system initialization so the operating system could run reliably on OpenWrt One. The result is a Debian system that runs directly on the hardware without additional abstraction layers.
