StarOS V3 software can be run on a variety of hardware, including Wireless Advanced Router (WAR) boards and PC Engines Wireless Router Application Platform (WRAP) boards. In addition, StarOS will run on a number of motherboard/CF combinations with the X86-PC edition. While there are some feature differences between the different firmware versions, all versions of StarOS software can be managed via an SSH interface. One of the most popular packages used to create an SSH session is PuTTY, which is available as a free download for Windows. A PuTTY port to Mac OS X is available at the Star-OS Download Page.

StarOS Firmware Versions

MIPS-COMPEX

The MIPS-COMPEX firmware version is an image created specifically for the 1 port WAR board (WAR-1). WAR-1 boards are designed especially for use as client access units and include one mini-PCI wireless port and two ethernet ports. The two ethernet ports are switched together and recognize as one ethernet port in the firmware; Lonnie has stated that the second ethernet port will be removed in a future hardware revision.
