            slots contain "seconduboot" (also U-Boot 2022.01-rc4)

Serial console (UART)
---------------------
                            V
+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| +3.3V |  GND  |  TX   |  RX   |
+---+---+-------+-------+-------+
    |
    +--- Don't connect

The R3 (TX line) and R6 (RX line) are absent on the PCB. You should
solder them or solder the jumpers.

Installation (UART)
-------------------
1. Place OpenWrt initramfs image on tftp server with IP 192.168.1.2
2. Attach UART, switch on the router and interrupt the boot process by
   pressing 'Ctrl-C'
3. Load and run OpenWrt initramfs image:
      tftpboot initramfs-kernel.bin
      bootm
4. Once inside OpenWrt, set / update env variables:
      fw_setenv baudrate 115200
      fw_setenv bootargs "ubi.mtd=ubi0 console=ttyS0,115200n1 loglevel=8 earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0x11002000 init=/etc/preinit"
      fw_setenv fdtcontroladdr 5ffc0e70
      fw_setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
      fw_setenv loadaddr 0x46000000
      fw_setenv mtdids "spi-nand0=spi-nand0"
      fw_setenv mtdparts "spi-nand0:2M(boot),1M(u-boot-env),50M(ubi0),50M(ubi1),8M(userconfig),4M(tp_data)"
      fw_setenv netmask 255.255.255.0
      fw_setenv serverip 192.168.1.2
      fw_setenv stderr serial@11002000
      fw_setenv stdin serial@11002000
      fw_setenv stdout serial@11002000
      fw_setenv tp_boot_idx 0
5. Run 'sysupgrade -n' with the sysupgrade OpenWrt image

Installation (without UART)
---------------------------
1.  Login as root via SSH (router IP, port 20001, password - your web
    interface password)
2.  Open for editing /etc/hotplug.d/iface/65-iptv (e.g., using WinSCP and
    SSH settings from the p.1)
3.  Add a newline after "#!/bin/sh":
       telnetd -l /bin/login.sh
4.  Save "65-iptv" file
5.  Toggle "IPTV/VLAN Enable" checkbox in the router web interface and
    save
6.  Make sure that telnetd is running:
       netstat -ltunp | grep 23
7.  Login via telnet to router IP, port 23 (no username and password are
    required)
8  Upload OpenWrt "initramfs-kernel.bin" to the "/tmp" folder of the
    router (e.g., using WinSCP and SSH settings from the p.1)
9.  Stock busybox doesn't contain ubiupdatevol command. Hence, we need to
    download and upload the full version of busybox to the router. For
    example, from here:
    https://github.com/xerta555/Busybox-Binaries/raw/master/busybox-arm64
    Upload busybox-arm64 to the /tmp dir of the router and run:
    in the telnet shell:
       cd /tmp
       chmod a+x busybox-arm64
10. Check "initramfs-kernel.bin" size:
       du -h initramfs-kernel.bin
11. Delete old and create new "kernel" volume with appropriate size
    (greater than "initramfs-kernel.bin" size):
       ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
       ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 1 -N kernel -s 9MiB
12. Write OpenWrt "initramfs-kernel.bin" to the flash:
       ./busybox-arm64 ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_1 /tmp/initramfs-kernel.bin
13. u-boot-env can be empty so lets create it (or overwrite it if it
    already exists) with the necessary values:
       fw_setenv baudrate 115200
       fw_setenv bootargs "ubi.mtd=ubi0 console=ttyS0,115200n1 loglevel=8 earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0x11002000 init=/etc/preinit"
       fw_setenv fdtcontroladdr 5ffc0e70
       fw_setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
       fw_setenv loadaddr 0x46000000
       fw_setenv mtdids "spi-nand0=spi-nand0"
       fw_setenv mtdparts "spi-nand0:2M(boot),1M(u-boot-env),50M(ubi0),50M(ubi1),8M(userconfig),4M(tp_data)"
       fw_setenv netmask 255.255.255.0
       fw_setenv serverip 192.168.1.2
       fw_setenv stderr serial@11002000
       fw_setenv stdin serial@11002000
       fw_setenv stdout serial@11002000
       fw_setenv tp_boot_idx 0
14. Reboot to OpenWrt initramfs:
       reboot
15. Login as root via SSH (IP 192.168.1.1, port 22)
16. Upload OpenWrt sysupgrade.bin image to the /tmp dir of the router
17. Run sysupgrade:
       sysupgrade -n /tmp/sysupgrade.bin

Recovery
--------
1. Press Reset button and power on the router
2. Navigate to U-Boot recovery web server (http://192.168.1.1/) and
   upload the OEM firmware

Recovery (UART)
---------------
1. Place OpenWrt initramfs image on tftp server with IP 192.168.1.2
2. Attach UART, switch on the router and interrupt the boot process by
   pressing 'Ctrl-C'
3. Load and run OpenWrt initramfs image:
      tftpboot initramfs-kernel.bin
      bootm
4. Do what you need (restore partitions from a backup, install OpenWrt
   etc.)

Stock layout
------------

U-Boot at boot checks that all volumes are in place:
+-------------------------------+
| Volume Name: uboot   Vol ID: 0|
| Volume Name: kernel  Vol ID: 1|
| Volume Name: rootfs  Vol ID: 2|

README.md

OpenWrt logo

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!

Download

Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.

If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.

An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:

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.

binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.7+ rsync subversion unzip which

Quickstart

  1. Run ./scripts/feeds update -a to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

  2. Run ./scripts/feeds install -a to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/

  3. Run make menuconfig to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

  4. 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.

  • LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.

  • OpenWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.

  • OpenWrt Routing: Packages specifically focused on (mesh) routing.

  • OpenWrt Video: Packages specifically focused on display servers and clients (Xorg and Wayland).
