TP-Link has introduced a compatibility level to prevent certain
downgrades. This information is stored in the soft-version partition,
changing the data length from 0xc to 0x10.
The compatibility level doesn't change frequently. For example, it has
the following values for the EAP245v3 (released 2018-Q4):
* FW v2.2.0 (2019-05-30): compat_level=0
* FW v2.3.0 (2019-07-31): compat_level=0
* FW v2.3.1 (2019-10-29): compat_level=1
* FW v2.20.0 (2020-04-23): compat_level=1
Empty flash values (0xffffffff) are interpreted as compat_level=0.
If a firmware upgrade file has a soft-version block without
compatibility level (data length < 0x10), this is also interpreted as
compat_level=0.
By including a high enough compatibility level in factory images, stock
firmware can be convinced to accept the image. A compatibility level
aware firmware will keep the original value.
Example upgrade log of TP-Link EAP245v3 FWv2.3.0 to FWv2.20.0:
[NM_Debug](nm_fwup_verifyFwupFile) 02073: curSoftVer:2.3.0 Build

[NM_Debug](updateDataToNvram) 00738: PTN 07: write bytes = 000002eb
Other firmware upgrades have been observed to modify the compabitility
stored level (e.g. TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor FWv1.4.1 to FWv1.7.0).
Therefore, it seems to be the safest option to set the OpenWrt
compatibility level to the highest known value instead of the highest
possible value (0xfffffffe), to ensure users do not get unexpectedly
refused firmware upgrades when using a device reverted back to stock.
To remain compatible with existing devices and not produce different
images, the image builder doesn't store a compatibility level if it is
zero.

The soft-version partition actually contains a header and trailing data:
* header: {data length, [zero]}
* data: {version, bcd encoded date, revision}
The data length is currently treated as a magic number, but should
contain the length of the partition data.
This header is also present the following partitions (non-exhaustive):

The kernel has become too big again for the ar9344-based TP-Link
CPE/WBS devices which still have no firmware-partition splitter.
Current buildbots produce a kernel size of about 2469 kiB, while
the partition is only 2048 kiB (0x200000). Therefore, increase it
to 0x300000 to provide enough room for this and, hopefully, the

The TL-WPA8630P v2 is a HomePlug AV2 compatible device with a QCA9563 SoC
and 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi modules.
Specifications
--------------
- QCA9563 750MHz, 2.4GHz WiFi
- QCA9888 5GHz WiFi
- 8MiB SPI Flash
- 128MiB RAM
- 3 GBit Ports (QCA8337)
- PLC (QCA7550)
MAC address assignment
----------------------
WiFi 2.4GHz and LAN share the same MAC address as printed on the label.
5GHz WiFi uses LAN-1, based on assumptions from similar devices.
LAN Port assignment
-------------------
While there are 3 physical LAN ports on the device, there will be 4
visible ports in OpenWrt. The fourth port (internal port 5) is used
by the PowerLine Communication SoC and thus treated like a regular
LAN port.
Versions
--------
Note that both TL-WPA8630 and TL-WPA8630P, as well as the different
country-versions, differ in partitioning, and therefore shouldn't be
cross-flashed.
This adds support for the two known partitioning variants of the
TL-WPA8630P, where the variants can be safely distinguished via the
tplink-safeloader SupportList. For the non-P variants (TL-WPA8630),
at least two additional partitioning schemes exist, and the same
SupportList entry can have different partitioning.
Thus, we don't support those officially (yet).
Also note that the P version for Germany (DE) requires the international
image version, but is properly protected by SupportList.
In any case, please check the OpenWrt Wiki pages for the device
before flashing anything!
Installation
------------
Installation is possible from the OEM web interface. Make sure to
install the latest OEM firmware first, so that the PLC firmware is
at the latest version. However, please also check the Wiki page
for hints according to altered partitioning between OEM firmware
revisions.
Additional thanks to Jon Davies and Joe Mullally for bringing
order into the partitioning mess.

TP-Link RE200 v3 is a wireless range extender with Ethernet and 2.4G and 5G
WiFi with internal antennas. It's based on MediaTek MT7628AN+MT7610EN like the v2.
Specifications
--------------
- MediaTek MT7628AN (580 Mhz)
- 64 MB of RAM
- 8 MB of FLASH
- 2T2R 2.4 GHz and 1T1R 5 GHz
- 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 8x LED (GPIO-controlled), 2x button
Unverified:
- UART header on PCB (57600 8n1)
There are 2.4G and 5G LEDs in red and green which are controlled
separately.
MAC addresses
-------------
MAC address assignment has been done according to the RE200 v2.
The label MAC address matches the OpenWrt ethernet address.
Installation
------------
Web Interface
-------------
It is possible to upgrade to OpenWrt via the web interface. Simply flash
the -factory.bin from OEM. In contrast to a stock firmware, this will not
overwrite U-Boot.
Recovery
--------
Unfortunately, this devices does not offer a recovery mode or a tftp
installation method. If the web interface upgrade fails, you have to open
your device and attach serial console.
The device has not been opened for adding support. However, it is expected
that the behavior is similar to the RE200 v2. Instructions for serial console
and recovery may be checked out in commit 6d6f36ae78 ("ramips: add support
for TP-Link RE200 v2") or on the device's Wiki page.

For the TP-Link 4M devices with tplink-v2-image recipe
(mktplinkfw2.c), there are two different flash layouts based
on the size of the (u)boot partition:
device uboot OEM firmware OpenWrt (incl. config)
tl-wr840n-v5 0x20000 0x3c0000 0x3d0000
tl-wr841n-v14 0x10000 0x3d0000 0x3e0000
In both cases, the 0x10000 config partition is used for the firmware
partition as well due to the limited space available and since it's
recreated by the OEM firmware anyway.
However, the TFTP flashing process will only copy data up to the
size of the initial (OEM) firmware size. Therefore, while we can
use the bigger partition to have additional erase blocks on the
device, we have to limit the image sizes to the TFTP limits.
So far, only one layout definition has been set up in mktplinkfw2.c
for 4M mediatek devices. This adds a second one and assigns them
to the devices so the image sizes are correctly restrained.

Firmware is binary blob, so there are barely any NULL terminated strings
expected, so we should probably convert all chars into u8 types, and
after that it's clear, that using strcpy doesn't make sense anymore.
This is rather theoretical stuff, but `uint8_t name[PART_NAME_LENGTH]`
means, that you can supply PART_NAME_LENGTH sized name, not
PART_NAME_LENGTH-1 name when NULL terminated.

TFTP upload will only work if selected from u-boot, which
means you have to open the device and attach to the serial
console. The TFTP update procedure does *not* accept the
published vendor firmware binaries. However, it allows to
flash kernel + rootfs binaries, and this works if you have
a backup of the original contents of the flash. It's probably
possible to create special image out of the vendor binaries

Flash instruction (TFTP):
1. Set PC to fixed IP address 192.168.0.66
2. Download *-factory.bin image and rename it to tp_recovery.bin
3. Start a tftp server with the file tp_recovery.bin in its root
directory
4. Turn off the router
5. Press and hold reset button
6. Turn on router with the reset button pressed and wait ~15 seconds
7. Release the reset button and after a short time the firmware should
be transferred from the tftp server
8. Wait ~30 second to complete recovery
While TFTP works for OpenWrt images, my device didn't accept the
only available official firmware "Archer C60(EU)_V3.0_190115.bin".
In contrast to earlier revisions (v2), the v3 contains the (same)
MAC address twice, once in 0x1fa08 and again in 0x1fb08.
While the partition-table on the device refers to the latter, the
firmware image contains a different partition-table for that region:
name device firmware
factory-boot 0x00000-0x1fb00 0x00000-0x1fa00
default-mac 0x1fb00-0x1fd00 0x1fa00-0x1fc00
pin 0x1fd00-0x1fe00 0x1fc00-0x1fd00
product-info 0x1fe00-0x1ff00 0x1fd00-0x1ff00
device-id 0x1ff00-0x20000 0x1ff00-0x20000
While the MAC address is present twice, other data like the PIN isn't,
so with the partitioning from the firmware image the PIN on the device
would actually be outside of its partition.
Consequently, the patch uses the MAC location from the device (which
is the same as for the v2).

Web Interface
-------------
It is possible to upgrade to OpenWrt via the web interface. However, the
OEM firmware upgrade file is required and a tool to fix the MD5 sum of
the header. This procedure overwrites U-Boot and there is not failsafe /
recovery mode present! To prepare an image, you need to take the header
and U-Boot (i.e. 0x200 + 0x20000 bytes) from an OEM firmware file and
attach the factory image to it. Then fix the header MD5Sum1.
Serial console
--------------
Opening the case is quite hard, since it is welded together. Rename the
OpenWrt factory image to "test.bin", then plug in the device and quickly
press "2" to enter flash mode (no line feed). Follow the prompts until
OpenWrt is installed.
Unfortunately, this devices does not offer a recovery mode or a tftp
installation method. If the web interface upgrade fails, you have to open
your device and attach serial console. Since the web upgrade overwrites
the boot loader, you might also brick your device.
Additional notes
----------------
MAC address assignment is based on stock-firmware. For me, the device
assigns the MAC on the label to Ethernet and the 2.4G WiFi, while the 5G
WiFi has a separate MAC with +2.
*:88 Ethernet/2.4G label, uboot 0x1fc00, userconfig 0x0158
*:89 unused userconfig 0x0160
*:8A 5G not present in flash
This seems to be the first ramips device with a TP-Link v1 header. The
original firmware has the string "EU" embedded, there might be some region-
checking going on during the firmware upgrade process. The original
firmware also contains U-Boot and thus overwrites the boot loader during
upgrade.
In order to flash back to stock, the first header and U-Boot need to be
stripped from the original firmware.

The lua handler can call a script that mounts an overlayfs and modifies
the "fwupdate.real" binary so that an unsigned image is accepted. The
overlayfs is necessary because a security system (called tomoyo) doesn't
allow binaries in other locations than /sbin/fwupdate.real (and maybe
some more) to access the flash when executed via network.
A big thanks to Torvald Menningen (Snap) from the OpenWRT forum for
finding out how to patch the binary so that it accepts an unsigned
image.
The current step-by-step procedure is:
- Use a version 2.5.0 of the original firmware. This is important
because a binary file will be modified.
- Download a configuration.
- Unpack it (it's just a tar gz file without an ending).
- Add the following to uhttpd:
``````
config 'uhttpd' 'other'
list listen_http 0.0.0.0:8080
list listen_http [::]:8080
option 'home' '/tmp/persistent/config/patch/www'
option lua_prefix '/lua'
option lua_handler '/tmp/persistent/config/patch/handler.lua'
``````
- Create a `patch` subfolder.
- Create a `patch/www` subfolder.
- Create a `patch/handler.lua` with the following content:
``````
function handle_request(env)
uhttpd.send("Status: 200 OK\r\n")
uhttpd.send("Content-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\n")
local command = "/bin/sh /tmp/persistent/config/patch/patch.sh 2>&1"
local proc = assert(io.popen(command))
for line in proc:lines() do
uhttpd.send(line.."\r\n")
end
proc:close()
end
``````
- Create a `patch/patch.sh` with the following content:
``````
#!/bin/sh -x
set -e
set -u
set -x
UBNTBOX_PATCHED="/tmp/fwupdate.real"
MD5FILE="/tmp/patchmd5"
cat <<EOF > ${MD5FILE}

# check md5 of files that will be patched

then
echo "******** Error when checking files. Refuse to do anything. ********"
exit 0

# prepare some overlay functionality

mkdir -p ${LOWERDIR}
mount -t squashfs -oro /dev/mtdblock3 ${LOWERDIR}

overlay_some_path "/sbin" "sbin"
echo -en '\x10' | dd of=/sbin/fwupdate.real conv=notrunc bs=1 count=1 seek=24598
echo "******** Done ********"
``````
- Repack the configuration.
- Upload it via the normal web interface.
- Wait about a minute. The webserver should restart.
- Now there is a second web server at port 8080 which can call the lua
script. Visit the page with a web browser. Link is for example
http://192.168.1.1:8080/lua
- You should see the output of the script with a "*** Done ***" at the
end. Note that the patches are not permanent. If you restart the
router you have to re-visit the link (but not re-upload the config).
- Now you can upload an unsigned binary via the normal web interface.

This patch is based on #1689 and adds support for TP-Link Archer
C6 v2 (US) and A6 (US/TW).
The hardware is the same as EU and RU variant, except for GPIOs
(LEDS/Buttons), flash(chip/partitions) and UART being available
on the board.
- SOC: Qualcomm QCA9563 @ 775MHz
- Flash: GigaDevice GD25Q127CS1G (16MiB)
- RAM: Zentel A3R1GE40JBF (128 MiB DDR2)
- Ethernet: Qualcomm QCA8337N: 4x 1Gbps LAN + 1x 1Gbps WAN
- Wireless:
- 2.4GHz (bgn) QCA9563 integrated (3x3)
- 5GHz (ac) Qualcomm QCA9886 (2x2)
- Button: 1x power, 1x reset, 1x wps
- LED: 6x LEDs: power, wlan2g, wlan5g, lan, wan, wps
- UART: 115200, 8n1 (header available on board)
Known issues:
- Wireless: 5GHz is known to have lower RSSI signal, it affects speed and range.
Flash instructions:
Upload openwrt-ath79-generic-tplink_archer-c6-v2-us-squashfs-factory.bin
via the router Web interface.
Flash instruction using tftp recovery:
1. Connect the computer to one of the LAN ports of the router
2. Set the computer IP to 192.168.0.66
3. Start a tftp server with the OpenWrt factory image in the
tftp root directory renamed to ArcherA6v2_tp_recovery.bin.
4. Connect power cable to router, press and hold the
reset button and turn the router on
5. Keep the reset button pressed until the WPS LED lights up
6. Wait ~150 seconds to complete flashing
Flash partitioning: I've followed #1689 for defining the partition layout
for this patch. The partition named as "tplink" @ 0xfd0000 is marked
as read only as it is where some config for stock firmware are stored.
On stock firmware those stock partitions starts at 0xfd9400 however
I had not been able to make it functional starting on the same address as
on stock fw, so it has been partitioned following #1689 and not the stock
partition layout for this specific partition. Due to that firmware/rootfs
partition lenght is 0xf80000 and not 0xf89400 as stock.
According to the GPL code, the EU/RU/JP variant does have different GPIO pins
assignment to LEDs and buttons, also the flash memory layout is different.

This is a preparation for ath79 support of the CPE210/CPE510 v1.
Kernel size is chosen equal to the latest update for CPE610 v1.
This also updates the partition size in ar71xx target, so code
remains consistent if someone looks up the device. Since CPE210,
CPE510, WBS210 and WBS510 (all v1) share the same partition
layout definition, and are on deprecated target anyway, this

Unfortunately, I can't find an easy way to recover the RE
without opening the device and using modified binaries. The
TFTP upload will only work if selected from u-boot, which
means you have to open the device and attach to the serial
console. The TFTP update procedure does *not* accept the
published vendor firmware binaries. However, it allows to
flash kernel + rootfs binaries, and this works if you have
a backup of the original contents of the flash. It's probably
possible to create special image out of the vendor binaries
and use that as recovery image.

Extended mksenaofw to support new "capwap" header structure.
This supports flashing from factory 3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.1.0 and 3.5.5
firmware.
Note that the factory image format changes for 3.1 and later firmware,
and that the 3.1.0 and 3.5.5 Engenius firmware will refuse the
factory_30.bin file. Similarly, the 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 Engenius firmware
will refuse the factory_35.bin file.
Flashing from the Engenius 3.1.0 firmware with the factory_35.bin
firmware has not been tested, as 3.1.0 firmware (Engenius "middleFW")
is only intended as part of the upgrade path to 3.5.5 firmware.
Modified ipq40xx image Makefile to appropriately invoke mksenaofw
with new parameters to configure the capwap header.
Note that there is currently no method to return to factory firmware,
so this is a one-way street.
Path from factory 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 (EnGenius) software to OpenWrt is
to navigate to 192.168.1.1 on the stock firmware and navigate to the
firmware menu. Then copy the URL you have for that page, something like
http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/;stok=12345abcdef/admin/system/flashops
and replace the trailing /admin/system/flashops with just /easyflashops
You should then be presented with a simple "Firmware Upgrade" page.
On that page, BE SURE TO CLEAR the "Keep Settings:" checkbox.
Choose the openwrt-ipq40xx-engenius_ens620ext-squashfs-factory_30.bin,
click "Upgrade" and on the following page select "Proceed".
Path from factory 3.5.5 (EnGenius) software to OpenWrt is simply to
use the stock firmware update menu. Choose the
openwrt-ipq40xx-engenius_ens620ext-squashfs-factory_35.bin and click
"Upload" and "Proceed".
The device should then flash the OpenWrt firmware and reboot. Note
that this resets the device to a default configuration with Wi-Fi
disabled, LAN1/PoE acting as a WAN port (running DHCP client) and LAN2
acting as a LAN port with a DHCP server on 192.168.1.x (AP is at

Drop the factory images and the firmware tool to create them. They don't
work any more, since the factory image has an uImage header covering the
whole kernel + rootfs. This way the uImage splitter will not be able to
find the rootfs and the kernel will panic later on.
The factory images were most likely added at a time the board had
distinct partitions for kernel and rootfs.

Add support to dynamically split the firmware partition into os-image
and file-system partitions. This is done by replacing those entries in
the partition table with a single unified firmware partition, which is
then split according to actual kernel image size.
The factory image will have the file-system partition aligned to a 64K
erase block, but the sysupgrade image skips this and aligns only the
JFFS2 EOF marker to squeeze out more space.
This should prevent further creeping updates to the kernel partition
size while maximizing space for the overlay filesystem on smaller
devices.

Notes:
TP-Link does not use bootstrap registers so without this patch reference
clock detects as 40MHz while it is actually 25MHz.
This is due to messed up bootstrap resistor configuration on the PCB.
Provided GPL code just forces 25MHz reference clock.
That causes booting with completely wrong clocks, for example, CPU tries
to boot at 1040MHz while the stock is 650MHz.
So this PR depends on PR #672 to remove 40MHz reference clock.

The default image does not fit 2 MB anymore, expand os-image partition
to 4 MB.
Upgrading works transparently via sysupgrade in both directions.
Another option would have been to merge "os-image" and "rootfs" into a
single "firmware" partition using MTD_SPLIT_TPLINK_FW, but just
changing the sizes of the existing partitioning has been deemed safer
and actually tested on an affected device; the maximum for rootfs
changes from 27 MB to 25 MB.

procedure 0x3e0000-0x3f0000 64kB "config" partition, which is used to store
router's configuration settings, is erased and recreated again during every
OEM firmware update procedure, thus does not contain any valuable factory data.

mktplinkfw/mktplinkfw2 utilities put JFFS2 EOF market only at 64KB
boundary, this could lead to current device configuration lost during
the sysupgrade on a device, which is equpped with flash with the 4KB
erase block size (e.g. TP-Link Archer C20).
This happens when 64KB and 4KB alignments do not match, so the JFFS2
data is written not exactly at the partition beginnig and startup
scripts can not find the JFFS2 during the first boot just after the
sysupgrade.
Fix this by placing additional JFFS2 EOF marker at a 4KB boundary. Also
keep the marker at 64KB intact, so the utilities will produce images
suitable for devices with both 4KB and 64KB erase blocks.

* LED in TL-WR840N v5 is a dual-color, dual-leads type which isn't
(fully) supported by gpio-leds driver. This type of LED requires both
GPIOs state change at the same time to select color or turn it off.
For now, we support/use only the green part of the LED.
Orange LED is registered so you can later use it for your own purposes.
Flash instruction:
Unlike TL-WR840N v4 flashing through WEB UI works in v5.
1. Download lede-ramips-mt76x8-tl-wr840n-v5-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin image.
2. Go to 192.168.0.1
3. Flash the sysupgrade image through Firmware upgrade section of WEB UI.
4. Wait until green LED stops flashing and use the router.
Notes:
TFTP recovery is broken since TP-Link reused bootloader code for v4 and
that does not take into account only 4 MB of flash and bricks the device.
So do not use TFTP Recovery or you will have to rewrite SPI flash.
They fixed it in later GPL code,but it is unknown which version of
bootloader you have.
After manually compiling and flashing bootloader from GPL sources TFTP
recovery works properly.

With '-a' specified on the command line, the current code:
- computes an aligned _kernel length_ instead of an aligned _rootfs
offset_.
- does not update the rootfs offset after computing the new kernel
length, and instead retains the layout default.
When the kernel length exceeds the available space left with this
fixed offset, the resulting image header contains invalid data, with
the recorded rootfs offset overlapping the kernel area.
This patch ensures that rootfs offset is correctly computed and
reflected in the final image.
Furthermore, the build_fw() function special cases the rootfs_align
option because of the above invalid logic. This is also fixed and
the computed (or command-line provided, or layout-provided) rootfs_ofs
value is used in all cases.
There seems to be no valid reason to extend the kernel length beyond
the actual length of the kernel itself (OFW images don't do it) so this
part of the existing behavior is dropped.
Example image before the patch:
Kernel data offset : 0x00000200 / 512 bytes
Kernel data length : 0x00158438 / 1410104 bytes
Kernel load address : 0x00000080
Kernel entry point : 0x00000080
Rootfs data offset : 0x00140000 / 1310720 bytes
Rootfs data length : 0x001e4f7e / 1986430 bytes
Example image after the patch:
Kernel data offset : 0x00000200 / 512 bytes
Kernel data length : 0x001583fe / 1410046 bytes
Kernel load address : 0x00000080
Kernel entry point : 0x00000080
Rootfs data offset : 0x00158600 / 1410560 bytes
Rootfs data length : 0x001e4e22 / 1986082 bytes

This patch moves build_fw() to mktplinkfw-lib.c
The versions of mktplinkfw.c and mktplinkfw2.c had slight
differences in code flow, the version from mktplinkfw.c has been
preferred.
While it's expected that this change will not affect mktplinkfw2,
all use cases could not be tested and so this particular change
is committed separately.

This patch carves out the duplicated code of mktplinfw.c and
mktplinkfw2.c and moves it to mktplinkfw-lib.c
This change is a semantic NOP (the code is unchanged).
To ensure compatibility with gcc-5.x and newer without changing
the code, -fgnu89-inline is added to the build flags for these
two binaries.

This patch removes all the hardcoded board-specific values from
mktplinkfw2.c, and as well as the corresponding support code.
By design, this change also deletes all of the broken matching logic
that was embedded in mktplinkfw2 and aligns the "inspect" behavior
with that of mktplinkfw (i.e. print the parsed header content as
they are without further processing).

TP-Link Archer C20 v1 is a router with 5-port FE switch and
non-detachable antennas. It's very similiar to TP-Link Archer C50.
Also it's based on MediaTek MT7620A+MT7610EN.
Specification:
- MediaTek MT7620A (580 Mhz)
- 64 MB of RAM
- 8 MB of FLASH
- 2T2R 2.4 GHz and 1T1R 5 GHz
- 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 2x external, non-detachable antennas
- UART (J1) header on PCB (115200 8n1)
- 8x LED (GPIO-controlled*), 2x button, power input switch
- 1 x USB 2.0 port
* WAN LED in this devices is a dual-color, dual-leads type which isn't
(fully) supported by gpio-leds driver. This type of LED requires both
GPIOs state change at the same time to select color or turn it off.
For now, we support/use only the blue part of the LED.
* MT7610EN ac chip isn't not supported by LEDE. Therefore 5Ghz won't
work.
Factory image notes:
These devices use version 3 of TP-Link header, fortunately without RSA
signature (at least in case of devices sold in Europe). The difference
lays in the requirement for a non-zero value in "Additional Hardware
Version" field. Ideally, it should match the value stored in vendor
firmware header on device.
We are able to prepare factory firwmare file which is accepted and
(almost) correctly flashed from the vendor GUI. As it turned out, it
accepts files without U-Boot image with second header at the beginning
but due to some kind of bug in upgrade routine, flashed image gets
corrupted before it's written to flash. So, to flash this device we must
to prepare image using original firmware from tp-link site with uboot.
Flash instruction:
Until (if at all) TP-Link fixes described problem, the only way to flash
LEDE image in these devices is to use tftp recovery mode in U-Boot.
There are two ways to flash the device to LEDE:
1) Using tftp mode with UART connection and original LEDE image
- Place lede-ramips-mt7620-ArcherC20-squashfs-factory.bin in tftp
server directory
- Configure PC with static IP 192.168.0.66/24 and tftp server.
- Connect PC with one of LAN ports, power up the router and press
key "4" to access U-Boot CLI.
- Use the following commands to update the device to LEDE:
setenv serverip 192.168.0.66
tftp 0x80060000 lede-ramips-mt7620-ArcherC20-squashfs-factory.bin
erase tplink 0x20000 0x7a0000
cp.b 0x80060000 0x20000 0x7a0000
reset
- After that the device will reboot and boot to LEDE
2) Using tftp mode without UART connection but require some
manipulations with target image
- Download and unpack TP-Link Archer C20 v1 firmware from original web
site
- Split uboot.bin from original firmware by this command (example):
dd if=Archer_C20v1_0.9.1_4.0_up_boot(160427)_2016-04-27_13.53.59.bin of=uboot.bin bs=512 count=256 skip=1
- Create ArcherC20V1_tp_recovery.bin using this command:
cat uboot.bin lede-ramips-mt7620-ArcherC20-squashfs-factory.bin > ArcherC20V1_tp_recovery.bin
- Place ArcherC20V1_tp_recovery.bin in tftp server directory.
- Configure PC with static IP 192.168.0.66/24 and tftp server.
- Connect PC with one of LAN ports, press the reset button, power up
the router and keep button pressed for around 6-7 seconds, until
device starts downloading the file.
- Router will download file from server, write it to flash and reboot.
