The Smallest Piratebox Yet (OpenWRT)

There is no official Piratebox support yet, but I've found what looks to be the smallest OpenWRT router!

The tiny zSun WiFi Card Reader has been hacked into a native OpenWRT router, allowing what looks to be the most concealable Piratebox.

Specs:
Architecture: MIPS
System-On-Chip: Atheros/Qualcomm AR9331 WiSoC
Flash size: 16MiB SPI
RAM: 64MiB
Physical Dimensions (including case): 33mm x 30mm x 13mm
It has SDXC support, allowing high capacity MicroSD (128Gb-2Tb).

I have three on the way from banggood.com

Yeah, I have five on my way, one is going straight to Matthias when I receive them.

That's good to hear! Are you going to flash Chaos Calmer via Firmware Update?

Thinking of using a solar-powered charger for this, but I have no idea on what the power draw will be.

Here is another super mini one:

VoCore is an open hardware runs OpenWrt. It has WIFI, USB, UART, 20+ GPIOs but size is only one square inch. It helps you make a smart house, study embedded system or even make the tiniest router on the earth.

Tiny Size: One square inch, easy to embed to devices.
OpenWrt: Easy to code, compile; stable system.
Low Cost: $20 for each, unmatched performance.
Interfaces:Hardware support USB, Ethernet, I2C, SPI etc.
OpenSource: Both software and hardware.

add another $20 for shipping... $40 not cheap!.

PirateBox Installs:
2x Zsun's (both testing, one with serial interface)
A5-V11 (mostly for OpenWRT testing DIY)
2x RPi Zero's
(one active in car 24/7, gets a lot of hits at Walmart, movie theaters and the mall)
2x RPi3's (both home servers, one Ubuntu custom install along side a ton of other services)
1x RPi2 (currently work server)

VoCore does work with extend root technique described with the zsun, I guess.
I use a VoCore from the indigogo to share installation files to workshop participants.

And yes, it is not pretty cheap
