TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor v1 is an AC1200 (802.11ac Wave-2) pole or wall mount access point. Debricking requires access to the serial port, which is non-trivial. Device specifications: * SoC: QCA9563 @ 775MHz * Memory: 128MiB DDR2 * Flash: 16MiB SPI-NOR * Wireless 2.4GHz (SoC): b/g/n 2x2 * Wireless 5GHz (QCA9886): a/n/ac 2x2 MU-MIMO * Ethernet (AR8033): 1× 1GbE, PoE Flashing instructions: * ssh into target device with recent (>= v1.6.0) firmware * run `cliclientd stopcs` on target device * upload factory image via web interface Debricking: To recover the device, you need access to the serial port. This requires fine soldering to test points, or the use of probe pins. * Open the case and solder wires to the test points: RXD, TXD and TPGND4 * Use a 3.3V UART, 115200 baud, 8n1 * Interrupt bootloader by holding ctrl+B during boot * upload initramfs via built-in tftp client and perform sysupgrade setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1 # default, change as required setenv serverip 192.168.1.10 # default, change as required tftp 0x80800000 initramfs.bin bootelf $fileaddr MAC addresses: MAC address (as on device label) is stored in device info partition at an offset of 8 bytes. ath9k device has same address as ethernet, ath10k uses address incremented by 1. From stock ifconfig: ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr D8:...:2E ath10 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr D8:...:2F br0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr D8:...:2E eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr D8:...:2E Tested by forum user PolynomialDivision on firmware v1.7.0. UART access tested by forum user arinc9. Signed-off-by: Sander Vanheule <sander@svanheule.net>
OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.
Sunshine!
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
gcc binutils bzip2 flex python3 perl make find grep diff unzip gawk getopt
subversion libz-dev libc-dev
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -a
to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -a
to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfig
to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
make
to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
Related Repositories
The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of
different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package
manager called opkg
. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port
packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
