+# OpenWRT 24.10.4 Firmware with GPIO I²C for GL.iNet XE300
+
+Custom OpenWRT build enabling **GPIO-based I²C master** on the XE300 using `i2c-gpio` driver and clean DTS integration.
+
+## Locate & Edit DTS
+
+target/linux/ath79/dts/qca9531_glinet_gl-xe300.dts
+
+git clone https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git
+cd openwrt
+git checkout v24.10.4
+./scripts/feeds update -a
+./scripts/feeds install -a
+
+## Menu Config
+
+Target System: Atheros ATH79
+Target Profile: GL.iNet GL-XE300
+Kernel Modules → I2C Support:
+kmod-i2c-core
+kmod-i2c-gpio
+Utilities → i2c-tools
+
+make -j$(nproc)
+
+## Test It
+
+ls /dev/i2c-*
+i2cdetect -y 0
+cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio
+i2cdump -y 0 0x48  # Adjust address accordingly
+
+## Notes
+
+- ✅ If you connect the resistors after boot, bus works great (ADS1115 detected at 0x48).
+- ✅ Reboots are fine — problem only occurs on cold boot / full power cycle.
+- ✅ The ADS1115 can be powered before boot or after — no issue.
+- ❌ The presence of 3.3V on SDA/SCL at boot causes the SoC to hang.
