How do I find out the build version to download with LEDE?

Question

Following on the footsteps of this question, which I was able to figure out with the device page for my device. I want to know if it is possible to find out he build information without using the web interface?

Such as with an administration/cli tool.

Answer 1

That information can be found in /etc/openwrt_release under DISTRIB_TARGET

DISTRIB_ID='LEDE'
DISTRIB_RELEASE='17.01.2'
DISTRIB_REVISION='r3435-65eec8bd5f'
DISTRIB_CODENAME='reboot'
DISTRIB_TARGET='ipq806x/generic'
DISTRIB_ARCH='arm_cortex-a15_neon-vfpv4'
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION='LEDE Reboot 17.01.2 r3435-65eec8bd5f'
DISTRIB_TAINTS='no-all'

Or as LEDE_BOARD in /etc/os-release
