1.Download the Image

From: Telegram Group

2. Mac install tools

# To un-gzip .gz files
brew install gzip

# To convert images 
brew install qemu

3.Convert .img to .vmdk

1 2	gunzip openwrt-19.07.4-x86-64-combined-ext4.img.gz qemu-img convert -f raw -O vmdk openwrt-19.07.4-x86-64-combined.img openwrt-19.07.4-x86-64-combined.vmdk

4.Upload the VMDK to ESXi

You can either upload the image using scp command or via web UI. However, I would suggest enable SSH on your ESXi host and use scp, as the next step requires shell prompt on the host.

1	scp openwrt-19.07.4-x86-64-combined.vmdk root@esxi:/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/

5. Fix Unsupported or invalid disk type 2 for ‘scsi0:0’

#磁盘格式转换为thin
ssh root@esxi
cd /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/
vmkfstools -i 'openwrt-19.07.4-x86-64-combined.vmdk' openwrt-converted.vmdk -d thin

Done! Now we can create and boot a VM with adding openwrt-converted.vmdk as the primary disk. Enjoy it!
