+===== Build Firmware =====
+To build firmware you need **Ubuntu 20.04 LTS**, other distributions may work but are not supported. Building firmware directly on a Windows platform is not supported. However, if all you have available is a Windows machine then we would recommend to set up a Linux based virtual machine.
+//Note: the following build was made on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS running 6.17 kernel.//
+//Note: please build with non-root privileges!//
+----
+Once you have a Linux OS running prepare the building environment based on OpenWrt instructions: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/toolchain/install-buildsystem
+\\
+Get latest sources from the official OpenWrt upstream branch and checkout to the commit with the Kiwi/DVK support:
+  git clone https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt.git
+  cd openwrt
+  git checkout d324d6f07e687c3d89b0737bef091f9e1d151486
+\\
+Then update and install all the necessary feeds, if wanted - modify the FW and proceed to build the firmware:
+  ./scripts/feeds udpdate -a
+  ./scripts/feeds install -a
+  make menuconfig
+  make defconfig download clean world -j16
+\\
+Building is a CPU heavy process and may take a long time depending on your CPU capabilities.
+Once finished the compiled firmware will be named ''openwrt-qualcommbe-ipq95xx-8devices_kiwi-dvk-squashfs-<factory OR sysupgrade>.bin'' and will be placed under ''./bin/targets/qualcommbe/ipq95xx'' directory.
+\\
+Both images are used to upgrade the FW, except *factory* image is used with TFTP server if the previously flashed FW is different than official OpenWrt.
