So based on the openwrt There are many hardware platforms , Choose a suitable hardware development platform It is very important for developers .
My current choice is MTK7688 Chip as development , no choice MT7620.MTK It mainly promotes two smart home system chips MT7688/MT7681.
MT7681 It's relatively simple WIFI, Built in memory , At present, it is mainly used for uart-wifi field , Some small household appliances will choose this product in intellectualization , therefore 7681 Mainly used for bulbs 、 Small household appliances such as door locks and sockets .

And the most important thing is , Support the release of MediaTek Smart Connection(eLian) Smartphone apps , Provide mobile terminal APP(Android/IOS) One click configuration connection APP.
Smart Connection It is an application developed by MediaTek , Different smart home devices can pass WiFi The network is interconnected under the same interface , Support Android、iOS、Windows as well as Linux platform , It also supports non onboard MTK Smart phones with chips .
So for smart home and other IOT devices , The adoption is based on openwrt Of MTK7688 As a development hardware platform is a good choice .
Why do you say that ？
