  5. Download the generic combined image for x86_x64 (64-bit), e.g. chaos_calmer/15.05.1/x86/64) LEDE 17.01.1 x86_x64
  6. Uncompress the image if needed: gunzip openwrt.img.gz
  7. Convert it to native VirtualBox format:
VBoxManage convertfromraw --format VDI openwrt.img openwrt.vdi (in virtualbox version 5.0.12 the "--format VDI" is at the end of command)
  1. For vmdk format : VirtualBox format:
VBoxManage convertfromraw --format VMDK openwrt.img openwrt.vmdk
