I flash image rk3568-eflasher-friendlywrt-21.02-20240314.img to eMMC of the R5C. I reboot.

At this link...

... the documentation says:

5.9.1 Set up openwrt official opkg source

sed -i -e 's/mirrors.cloud.tencent.com/downloads.openwrt.org/g' /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf

I follow those instructions, here is the output:

1) Why do they ship an image containing an invalid distfeeds.conf file? Why don't they just provide the correct file, instead of instructing the user to edit the file post installation?

2) How do I troubleshoot the "Failed to download" errors? I have confirmed that the device has an internet connection.
