From 4a043dc9d46e36882afbecb20f479e335549bd4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikhail Zhilkin Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2023 09:35:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ramips: add factory image for TP-Link EC330-G5u v1 This commit adds factory.bin image for TP-Link EC330-G5u v1. This allows to install OpenWrt without connecting a serial cable (UART). Installation using factory image -------------------------------- Tested with "3.16.0 0.9.1 v6037.0 Build 191016 Rel.30619nb" TP-Link firmware. 1. Login to the router web interface (http://192.168.0.1/ by default) and save running config to "conf.bin" file 2. Open configuration file in any TP-Link config editor (e.g. https://jahed.github.io/tp-link-config-editor/) 3. Find "DeviceInfo" section and insert a new string "" according to the following example: ... ... 4. Save configuration file and upload changed configuration using stock firmware interface 5. Login using telnet to IP:192.168.0.1 (Username:admin, password:1234) 6. Run "cat /proc/mtd | grep mtd7" a. If the result is 'mtd7: 03000000 00020000 "rootfs" 03400000', then install stock firmware using web interface to toggle booted firmware image from "os1" to "os0" b. If the result is 'mtd7: 03000000 00020000 "rootfs" 00400000', then all is ok, go to the next step 7. Set up a tftp server with OpenWrt factory.bin image (IP:192.168.0.100 in this example) 8. Login using telnet to 192.168.0.1 9. Download OpenWrt factory.bin image from the tftp server: cd /tmp tftp -g -r factory.bin 192.168.0.100 10. Write OpenWrt factory.bin image: dd if=/tmp/factory.bin of=/dev/mtdblock1 11. Power cycle the router Signed-off-by: Mikhail Zhilkin --- target/linux/ramips/image/mt7621.mk | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/target/linux/ramips/image/mt7621.mk b/target/linux/ramips/image/mt7621.mk index c362046b8e..24daba43aa 100644 --- a/target/linux/ramips/image/mt7621.mk +++ b/target/linux/ramips/image/mt7621.mk @@ -2214,6 +2214,9 @@ define Device/tplink_ec330-g5u-v1 uImage-tplink-c9 firmware 'OS IMAGE ($(VERSION_DIST))' KERNEL_INITRAMFS := kernel-bin | append-dtb | lzma | loader-kernel | \ uImage none + IMAGES += factory.bin + IMAGE/factory.bin := append-kernel | pad-to $$(KERNEL_SIZE) | \ + append-ubi | check-size IMAGE/sysupgrade.bin := sysupgrade-tar | append-metadata | check-size endef TARGET_DEVICES += tplink_ec330-g5u-v1 -- 2.30.2
