Installation:
=============
Web UI method
-------------
Set up the device using the vendor's web UI. After that go to
Management->SSH and enable the "SSH Login" checkbox. Select "Save".
The connect to the machine via SSH:
ssh -o hostkeyalgorithms=ssh-rsa <ip_of_device>
Disable signature verification:
cliclientd stopcs
Rename the "-web-ui-factory" image to something less than 63
characters, maintaining the ".bin" suffix.
* Go to System -> Firmware Update.
* Under "New Firmware File", click "Browse" and select the image
* Select "Update" and confirm by clicking "OK".
If the update fails, the web UI should show an error message.
Otherwise, the device should reboot into OpenWRT.
TFTP method
-----------
To flash via tftp, first place the initramfs image on the TFTP server.
setenv serverip <ip of tftp server>
setenv ipaddr <ip in same subnet as tftp server>
tftpboot tplink_eap610-outdoor-initramfs-uImage.itb
bootm
This should boot OpenWRT. Once booted, flash the sysupgrade.bin image
using either luci or the commandline.
The tplink2022 image format
============================
The vendor images of this device are packaged in a format that does
not match any previous tplink formats. In order for flashing to work
from the vendor's web UI, firmware updates need to be packaged in
this format. The `tplink-mkimage-2022.py` is provided for this
purpose.
This script can also analyze vendor images, and extract the required
"support" string. This string is checked by the vendor firmware, and
images with a missing or incorrect string are rejected.
