TP-Link TL-WA850RE v2 is a wall-plug N300 Wi-Fi range extender,
based on Qualcomm/Atheros QCA9533 v2.
Short specification:
- 550/391/195 MHz (CPU/DDR/AHB)
- 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 32 MB of RAM (DDR1)
- 4 MB of FLASH
- 2T2R 2.4 GHz
- 2x internal antennas (embedded on PCB)
- 9x LED (all can be turned off with GPIO15), 2x button
- UART (J3) header on PCB
Flash instruction: use "factory" image directly in vendor GUI.
Warning: this device does not include any kind of recovery mechanism
in the bootloader and disassembling process is not trivial.
You can access vendor firmware over serial line using:
- login: root
- password: sohoadmin
Image was tested only in US version of the device, but should work
also with the same device version sold in other countries.
Available FLASH space, with LEDE trunk, is only 240 KB.

TP-Link Archer C60v1 is a dual-band AC1350 router, based on Qualcomm/Atheros
QCA9561+QCA9886.
Specification:
- 775/650/258 MHz (CPU/DDR/AHB)
- 64 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 8 MB of FLASH (SPI NOR)
- 3T3R 2.4 GHz
- 2T2R 5 GHz
- 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 7x LED, 2x button
- UART header on PCB
Currently not working:
- Port LAN1 on C59, LAN4 on C60
- WiFi 5GHz (missing ath10k firmware for QCA9886 chip)
- Update from oficial web interface ( tplink-saveloader not support "product-info")
Flash instruction:
1. Set PC to fixed ip address 192.168.0.66
2. Download lede-ar71xx-generic-archer-cXX-v1-squashfs-factory.bin
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.
Flash instruction under U-Boot, using UART:
1. tftp 0x81000000 lede-ar71xx-...-sysupgrade.bin
2. erase 0x9f020000 +$filesize
3. cp.b $fileaddr 0x9f020000 $filesize
4. reset

In order to make it easier to add new boards in the future, refactor the code
to describe the image layouts of supported boards in a struct array and alter
the image generation routines to figure out the sysupgrade partitions
automatically.

Adds support for new EU and US variants; removes a few strings that were
never actually used and have been removed from the stock firmwares.

Recent refactoring introduced a regression. It ignored second argument
of make_support_list function which was originally true for C2600. The
new generic build_image function always passes false.
This patch allows specifying trailing char in a device specific info. It
also switches Archer C9 to the \0 char to make it compliant with vendor
images.
I verified generated images to be binary identical to the ones that
were created before whole refactoring.

The CPE210 was still described for the OEM upgrade as compatible,
even the wireless configuration isn't compatible anymore between
both series (2ghz and 5ghz).
Update the CPE210 image profile to use the new profile.

The hardware is identical to version 1.0, add the new models to the support

Also remove the empty line at the end of the support list, the current

The new TP-LINK Pharos series uses a new bootloader, the "TP-LINK Safeloader".
It uses an advanced firmware image format, containing an image partition table
and a flash partition table (and image partitions are mapped to the
corresponding flash partitions). The exact image format is documented in the
source code.
Furthermore, the bootloader expects the kernel image as an ELF executable.
