Has anyone been able to find the open source part?

Is the software open source? The hardware? I’m not seeing anything other than a claim that it’s open source.



This has been debated about glinet stuff in the past. I don’t think everything gets open sourced but it has open source code for parts of it


That’s my thought too. A person cannot build any of the firmware for their routers. It’s all based on openwrt though.

Hopefully, we’ll be able to flash these with openwrt.


https://github.com/gl-inet I don't see anything under "comet" or "kvm" but this is the place to watch I suppose.


The product isn’t released yet. I would hazard a guess that the source will come after the device is officially available


GP isn't asking for the source files now, they are asking what parts of the product are going to be open source. The only thing the pre-launch advertisement page says is "open source" and this company has had troubles with how open different software components of the firmware actually ended up being so it's a fair question to want to know what the advertisement is actually claiming before getting interested in it.
