Orange Pi R1 Plus/ R1 Plus LTS English Firmware (OpenWrt 21.02)

Orange Pi R1 Plus LTS is budget-friendly SBC to get started with OpenWRT. Unfortunately, the firmware built by Orange Pi has a lot of pre-installed packages and the default language is Chinese.
I have created a fork and modify the defconfig file to remove thoese pre-installed packages as well as set the language in LuCI to English. I have also built the firmware for Orange Pi R1 Plus and Orange Pi R1 Plus LTS so that you can use it right away.
You can write the ext4-sysupgrade.img.gz to the microSD card with Rufus or balenaEtcher, the root file system will be automatically expanded during first boot, which allow you to use all the space of the microSD card.
