Hardware
--------
SoC: Qualcomm IPQ8065
RAM: 512 MB DDR3
Flash: 256 MB NAND (Macronix MX30UF2G18AC) (split into 2x128MB)
4 MB SPI-NOR (Macronix MX25U3235F)
WLAN: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9984 - 2.4Ghz
Qualcomm Atheros QCA9984 - 5Ghz
ETH: eth0 - POE (100Mbps in U-Boot, 1000Mbps in OpenWrt)

Auto-negotiation broken on both.
USB: USB 2.0
LED: 5G, 2.4G, ETH1, ETH2, CTRL, PWR (All support green and red)
BTN: Reset

Serial: 115200bps, near the Ethernet transformers, labeled 9X.
Connections from the arrow to the 9X text:
[NC] - [TXD] - [GND] - [RXD] - [NC]
Installation
------------
0. Connect to the device
Plug your computer into LAN2 (1000Mbps connection required).
If you use the LAN1/POE port, set your computer to force a 100Mbps link.
Connect to the device via TTL (Serial) 115200n8.
Locate the header (or solder pads) labeled 9X,
near the Ethernet jacks/transformers.
There should be an arrow on the other side of the header marking.
The connections should go like this:
(from the arrow to the 9X text): NC - TXD - GND - RXD - NC
1. Prepare for installation
While the AP is powering up, interrupt the startup process.
MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR CURRENT PARTITION!
If you see: "Current Partition is : partB" or
"Need to switch partition from partA to partB",
you have to force the device into partA mode, before continuing.
This can be done by changing the PKRstCnt to 5 and resetting the device.
setenv PKRstCnt 5
saveenv
reset
After you interrupt the startup process again,
you should see: Need to switch partition from partB to partA
You can now continue to the next step.
If you see: "Current Partition is : partA",
you can continue to the next step.
2. Prevent partition switching.
To prevent the device from switching partitions,
we are going to modify the startup command.
set bootcmd "setenv PKRstCnt 0; saveenv; bootipq"
setenv
3. First boot
Now, we have to boot the OpenWrt intifs.
The easiest way to do this is by using Tiny PXE.
You can also use the normal U-Boot tftp method.
Run "bootp" this will get an IP from the DHCP server
and possibly the firmware image.
If it doesn't download the firmware image, run "tftpboot".
Now run "bootm" to run the image.
You might see:
"ERROR: new format image overwritten - must RESET the board to recover"
this means that the image you are trying to load is too big.
Use a smaller image for the initial boot.
4. Install OpenWrt from initfs
Once you are booted into OpenWrt,
transfer the OpenWrt upgrade image and
use sysupgrade to install OpenWrt to the device.

TP-Link and ASUS OnHub devices are very similar, sharing many of the
same characteristics and much of their Device Tree. They both run a
version of ChromeOS for their factory firmware, and so installation
instructions look very similar to Google Wifi [1].
Things I've tested, and are working:
* Ethernet
* WiFi (2.4 and 5 GHz)
* LEDs
* USB
* eMMC
* Serial console (if you wire it up yourself)
* 2x CPU
* Speaker
== Installation instructions summary ==
1. Flash *-factory.bin to a USB drive (e.g., with `dd`)
2. Insert USB drive, to boot OpenWrt from USB
3. Copy the same *-factory.bin over to device, and flash it to eMMC to
make OpenWrt permanent
== Developer mode, booting from USB (Step 2) ==
To enter Developer Mode and boot OpenWrt from a USB stick:
1. Unplug power
2. Gain access to the "developer switch" through the bottom of the
device
3. Hold down the "reset switch" (near the USB port / power plug)
4. Plug power back in
5. The LED on the device should turn white, then blink orange, then
red. Release the reset switch.
6. Insert USB drive with OpenWrt factory.bin
7. Press the hidden developer switch under the device to boot to USB;
you should see some activity lights (if you have any) on your USB
drive
8. Depending on your configuration, the router's LED(s) should come on.
You're now running OpenWrt off a USB stick.
These instructions are derived from:
https://www.exploitee.rs/index.php/Rooting_The_Google_OnHub#Enabling_%22Developer_Mode%22_on_the_OnHubhttps://www.exploitee.rs/index.php/Asus_OnHub#Enabling_%22Developer_Mode%22_on_the_OnHub
~~Finding the developer switch:~~ for TP-Link, the developer switch is
on the bottom of the device, underneath some of the rubber padding and a
screw. For ASUS, remove the entire base, via 4 screws under the rubber
feet. See the Exploitee instructions for more info and photos.
== Making OpenWrt permanent (on eMMC) (Step 3) ==
Once you're running OpenWrt via USB:
1. Connect Ethernet to the LAN port; router's LAN address should be at
192.168.1.1
2. Connect another system to the router's LAN, and copy the factory.bin
image over, via SCP and SSH:
scp -O openwrt-ipq806x-chromium-tplink_onhub-squashfs-factory.bin root@192.168.1.1:
ssh root@192.168.1.1 -C "dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 seek=7552991 of=/dev/mmcblk0 count=33 && \
dd if=/root/openwrt-ipq806x-chromium-tplink_onhub-squashfs-factory.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0"
3. Reboot and remove the USB drive.
== Developer mode beep ==
Note that every time you boot the OnHub in developer mode, the device
will play a loud "beep" after a few seconds. This is described in the
Chromium docs [2], and is intended to make it clear that the device is
not running Google software. It is nontrivial to completely disable this
beep, although it's possible to "acknowledge" developer mode (and skip
the beep) by using a USB keyboard to press CTRL+D every time you boot.

IMPORTANT:
This port requires moving the 'fw_env' partition prior to first boot to
consolidate 70% of the usable space in flash into a contiguous partition.
'fw_env' contains factory-programmed MAC addresses, SSIDs, and passwords.
Its contents must be copied to 'rootfs_1' prior to booting via initramfs.
Note that the stock 'fw_env' partition will be wiped during sysupgrade.
A writable 'stock_fw_env' partition pointing to the old, stock location
is included in the port to help rolling back this change if desired.
Installation:
- Requires serial access and a TFTP server.
- Fully boot stock, press ENTER, type in:
mtd erase /dev/mtd21
dd if=/dev/mtd22 bs=128K count=1 | mtd write - /dev/mtd21
umount /config && ubidetach -m 23 && mtd erase /dev/mtd23
- Reboot and interrupt U-Boot by pressing a key, type in:
set mtdids 'nand0=nand0'
set mtdparts 'mtdparts=nand0:155M@0x6500000(mtd_ubi)'
set bootcmd 'ubi part mtd_ubi && ubi read 0x44000000 kernel && bootm'
env save
- Setup TFTP server serving initramfs image as 'recovery.bin', type in:
set ipaddr 192.168.1.1
set serverip 192.168.1.2
tftpboot recovery.bin && bootm
- Use sysupgrade to install squashfs image.

The recent device-tree modification that added pre-cal
nvmem-cells pushed the device's kernel+dtb over the
allotted 3072k KERNEL_SIZE.
> WARNING: Image file tplink_vr2600v-uImage is too big: 3147214 > 3145728
There was a previous kernel partition size upgrade:
commit 0c967d92b3 ("ipq806x: increase kernel partition size for the TP-Link Archer VR2600v")
It has been seemingly upgraded from a 2048k KERNEL_SIZE in the past.
The commit talks about using the MTD_SPLIT_TPLINK_FW. But looking at
the image make recipe, there is no code that adds a TPLINK header.
So instead the board will use "denx,umimage". This requires
MTD_SPLIT_UIMAGE_FW, but this is present thanks to some NEC devices.
(Maybe the MTD_CONFIG_ARGS can be removed as well? But it could be
there because of the padding at the beginning. This needs testing.)

The MR42 and MR52 are two similar IPQ806x based devices from the Cisco
Meraki "Cryptid" series.
MR42 main features:
- IPQ8068 1.4GHz
- 512MB RAM
- 128MB NAND
- 2x QCA9992 (2.4 & 5GHz)
- 1x QCA9889 (2.4 & 5GHz)
- 1x AR8033 PHY
- PoE/AC power
MR52 main features:
- IPQ8068 1.4GHz
- 512MB RAM
- 128MB NAND
- 2x QCA9994 (2.4 & 5GHz)
- 1x QCA9889 (2.4 & 5GHz)
- 2x AR8033 PHYs
- PoE/AC power
(MR42 Only) Installation via diagnostic mode:
If you can successfully complete step 1 then you can continue to install
via this method without having to open the device. Otherwise please use
the standard UART method. Please note that when booting via TFTP, some
Ethernet devices, in particular those on laptops, will not connect in
time, resulting in TFTP boot not succeeding. In this instance it is
advised to connect via a switch.
1. Hold down reset at power on and keep holding, after around 10 seconds
if the orange LED changes behaviour to begin flashing, proceed to
release reset, then press reset two times. Ensure that the LED has
turned blue. Note that flashing will occur on some devices, but it
will not be possible to change the LED colour using the reset button.
In this case it will still be possible to continue with this install
method.
2. Set your IP to 192.168.1.250. Set up a TFTP server serving
mr42_u-boot.mbn and
openwrt-ipq806x-generic-meraki_mr42-initramfs-fit-uImage.itb, obtained
from [1].
3. Use telnet and connect to 192.168.1.1. Run the following commands to
install u-boot. Note that all these commands are critical, an error
will likely render the device unusable.
Option 3.1:
If you are sure you have set up the TFTP server correctly you can
run this script on the device. This will download and flash the
u-boot image immediately:
`/etc/update_uboot.sh 192.168.1.250 mr42_u-boot.mbn`
Once completed successfully, power off the device.
Option 3.2:
If you are unsure the TFTP server is correctly set up you can
obtain the image and flash manually:
3.2.1. `cd /tmp`
3.2.2. `tftp-hpa 192.168.1.250 -m binary -c get mr42_u-boot.mbn`
3.2.3. Confirm file has downloaded correctly by comparing the
md5sum:
`md5sum mr42_u-boot.mbn`
3.2.4. The following are the required commands to write the image.
`echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_nand/boot_layout
mtd erase /dev/mtd1
nandwrite -pam /dev/mtd1 mr42_u-boot.mbn
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_nand/boot_layout`
Important: You must observe the output of the `nandwrite`
command. Look for the following to verify writing is occurring:
`Writing data to block 0 at offset 0x0
Writing data to block 1 at offset 0x20000
Writing data to block 2 at offset 0x40000`
If you do not see this then do not power off the device. Check
your previous commands and that mr42_u-boot.mbn was downloaded
correctly. Once you are sure the image has been written you
can proceed to power off the device.
4. Hold the reset button and power on the device. This will immediately
begin downloading the appropriate initramfs image and boot into it.
Note: If the device does not download the initramfs, this is likely
due to the interface not being brought up in time. Changing Ethernet
source to a router or switch will likely resolve this. You can also
try manually setting the link speed to 10Mb/s Half-Duplex.
5. Once a solid white LED is displayed on the device, continue to the
UART installation method, step 6.
Standard installation via UART - MR42 & MR52
1. Disassemble the device and connect a UART header. The header pinout
is as follows:
1 - 3.3v
2 - TXD
3 - RXD
4 - GND
Important: You should only connect TXD, RXD and GND. Connecting
3.3v may damage the device.
2. Set your IP to 192.168.1.250. Set up a TFTP server serving
openwrt-ipq806x-generic-meraki_(mr42|mr52)-initramfs-fit-uImage.itb.
Separately obtain the respective sysupgrade image.
3. Run the following commands, preferably from a Linux host. The
mentioned files, including ubootwrite.py and u-boot images, can be
obtained from [1].
`python ubootwrite.py --write=(mr42|mr52)_u-boot.bin`
The default for "--serial" option is /dev/ttyUSB0.
4. Power on the device. The ubootwrite script will upload the image to
the device and launch it. The second stage u-boot will in turn load
the initramfs image by TFTP, provided the TFTP server is running
correctly. This process will take about 13 minutes. Once a solid
white LED is displayed, the image has successfully finished
loading. Note: If the image does not load via TFTP, try again with
the Ethernet link to 10Mb/s Half-Duplex.
5. (MR42 only) Do not connect over the network. Instead connect over
the UART using minicom or similar tool. To replace u-boot with
the network enabled version, please run the following commands.
Note that in the provided initramfs images, the u-boot.mbn file
is located in /root:
If you have not used the provided initramfs, you must ensure you
are using an image with "boot_layout" ECC configuration enabled in
the Kernel. This will be version 5.10 or higher. If you do not do
this correctly the device will be bricked.
`insmod mtd-rw i_want_a_brick=1
mtd erase /dev/mtd8
nandwrite -pam /dev/mtd8 /root/mr42_u-boot.mbn`
After running nandwrite, ensure you observe the following output:
`Writing data to block 0 at offset 0x0
Writing data to block 1 at offset 0x20000
Writing data to block 2 at offset 0x40000`
6. (Optional) If you have no further use for the Meraki OS, you can
remove all other UBI volumes on ubi0 (mtd11), including diagnostic1,
part.old, storage and part.safe. You must not remove the ubi1 ART
partition (mtd12).
`for i in diagnostic1 part.old storage part.safe ; do
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N $i
done`
7. Proceed to flash the sysupgrade image via luci, or else download or
scp the image to /tmp and use the sysupgrade command.

This adds support for the Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500.
It is the successor to the Netgear Nighthawk R7800 and shares almost
identical hardware to that device.
The stock firmware is a heavily modified version of OpenWRT.
Specifications:
SoC: Qualcomm Atheros IPQ8065
RAM: 512 MB
Storage: 256 MiB NAND Flash
Wireless: 2x Qualcomm Atheros QCA9984
Ethernet: 2x 1000/100/10 dedicated interfaces
Switch: 5x 1000/100/10 external ports
USB: 2x 3.0 ports
More information:
Manufacturer page: https://www.netgear.com/gaming/xr500/
Almost identical to Netgear R7800
Differences (r7800 > xr500):
Flash: 128MiB > 256MiB
Removed esata
swapped leds:
usb1 (gpio 7 > 8)
usb2 (gpio 8 > 26)
guest/esata (gpio 26 > 7)
MAC addresses:
On the OEM firmware, the mac addresses are:
WAN: *:50 art 0x6
LAN: *:4f art 0x0 (label)
2G: *:4f art 0x0
5G: *:51 art 0xc
Installation:
Install via Web Interface (preferred):
Utilize openwrt-ipq806x-netgear_xr500-squashfs-factory.img
Install via TFTP recovery:
1.Turn off the power, push and hold the reset button (in a hole on
backside) with a pin
2.Turn on the power and wait till power led starts flashing white
(after it first flashes orange for a while)
3.Release the reset button and tftp the factory img in binary mode.
The power led will stop flashing if you succeeded in transferring
the image, and the router reboots rather quickly with the new
firmware.
4.Try to ping the router (ping 192.168.1.1). If does not respond,
then tftp will not work either.
Uploading the firmware image with a TFTP client
$ tftp 192.168.1.1
bin
put openwrt-ipq806x-netgear_xr500-squashfs-factory.img
Note:
The end of the last partition is at 0xee00000. This was chosen
by the initial author, but nobody was able to tell why this
particular arbitrary size was chosen. Since it's not leaving
too much empty space and it's the only issue left, let's just
keep it for now.

This adds support for the Askey RT4230W REV6
(Branded by Spectrum/Charter as RAC2V1K)
At this time, there's no way to reinstall the stock firmware so don't install
this on a router that's being rented.
Specifications:
Qualcomm IPQ8065
1 GB of RAM (DDR3)
512 MB Flash (NAND)
2x Wave 2 WiFi cards (QCA9984)
5x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet (Switch: QCA8337)
1x LED (Controlled by a microcontroller that switches it between red and

1x USB 3.0 Type-A
12V DC Power Input
UART header on PCB - pinout from top to bottom is RX, TX, GND, 5V

More information: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/askey-rac2v1k-support/15830https://deviwiki.com/wiki/Askey_RAC2V1K
To check what revision your router is, restore one of these config backups
through the stock firmware to get ssh access then run
"cat /proc/device-tree/model".
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/askey-rac2v1k-support/15830/17
The revision number on the board doesn't seem to be very consistent so that's
why this is needed. You can also run printenv in the uboot console and if
machid is set to 177d, that means your router is rev6.
Note: Don't install this if the router is being rented from an ISP. The defined
partition layout is different from the OEM one and even if you changed the
layout to match, backing up and restoring the OEM firmware breaks /overlay so
nothing will save and the router will likely enter a bootloop.
How to install:
Method 1: Install without opening the case using SSH and tftp
You'll need:
RAC2V1K-SSH.zip:
https://github.com/lmore377/openwrt-rt4230w/blob/master/RAC2V1K-SSH.zip
initramfs and sysupgrade images
Connect to one of the router's LAN ports
Download the RAC2V1K-SSH.zip file and restore the config file that
corresponds to your router's firmware (If you're firmware is newer than what's
in the zip file, just restore the 1.1.16 file)
After a reboot, you should be able to ssh into the router with username:
"4230w" and password: "linuxbox" or "admin". Run the following commannds
fw_setenv ipaddr 10.42.0.10 #IP of router, can be anything as long as
it's in the same subnet as the server
fw_setenv serverip 10.42.0.1# #IP of tftp server that's set up in next
steps
fw_setenv bootdelay 8
fw_setenv bootcmd "tftpboot initramfs.bin; bootm; bootipq"
Don't reboot the router yet.
Install and set up a tftp server on your computer
Set a static ip on the ethernet interface of your computer (use this for
serverip in the above commands)
Rename the initramfs image to initramfs.bin, and host it with the tftp
server
Reboot the router. If you set up everything right, the router led should
switch over to a slow blue glow which means openwrt is booted. If for some
reason the file doesn't get loaded into ram properly, it should still boot to
the OEM firmware.
After openwrt boots, ssh into it and run these commands:
fw_setenv bootcmd "setenv mtdids nand0=nand0 && setenv mtdparts
mtdparts=nand0:0x1A000000@0x2400000(firmware) && ubi part firmware && ubi
read 0x44000000 kernel 0x6e0000 && bootm"
fw_setenv bootdelay 2
After openwrt boots up, figure out a way to get the sysupgrade file onto it
(scp, custom build with usb kernel module included, wget, etc.) then flash it
with sysupgrade. After it finishes flashing, it should reboot, the light should
start flashing blue, then when the light starts "breathing" blue that means
openwrt is booted.
Method 2: Install with serial access (Do this if something fails and you can't
boot after using method 1)
You'll need:
initramfs and sysupgrade images
Serial access:
https://openwrt.org/inbox/toh/askey/askey_rt4230w_rev6#opening_the_case
Install and set up a tftp server
Set a static ip on the ethernet interface of your computer
Download the initramfs image, rename it to initramfs.bin, and host it with
the tftp server
Connect the wan port of the router to your computer

After openwrt boots up, figure out a way to get the sysupgrade file onto it
(scp, custom build with usb kernel module included, wget, etc.) then flash it
with sysupgrade. After it finishes flashing, it should reboot, the light should
start flashing blue, then when the light starts "breathing" blue that means
openwrt is booted.

The ASRock G10 is a 2.4/5 GHz band 11ac "Gaming" router,
based on Qualcomm IPQ8064.
Specifications:
SoC: Qualcomm IPQ8064
CPU: Dual-Core A15 @ (384 - 1,400 MHz, 2C2T)
DRAM: 512 MiB (~467 MiB available)
NAND: 128 MB (Micron MT29F1G08ABBEAH4)
WLAN0: 4T4R 5 GHz Wlan (QCA9980)
WLAN1: 4T4R 2.4 GHz Wlan (QCA9980)
ETH: 5x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet (QCA8337)
INPUT: Reset Button, WPS 2.4G and WPS 5G Button
LEDS: 1 multicolor status LED
USB: 2x USB 3.0 Type-A
POWER: 12VDC/3A AC Adapter + dedicated Power Switch
UART: Setting is 115200-8-N-1. 1x4 .1" unpopulated header
on the PCB (J6 - very tiny silkscreen next to TX).
Pinout: 1. 3v3 (Square - best skipped!), 2. RX, 3. GND, 4. TX
WARNING: The serial port needs a TTL/RS-232 3.3v level converter!
(Depending on the serial adapter RX and TX might need to
be swapped).
Note about the IR-Remote:
There's a 8-Bit MCU (SONIX SN8F25E21SG) which is controlling the
IR-Remote and is fed by the IR-Photodiode. The SoC can talk to
the device via I2C. The vendor's GPL archive comes with the source
of the interface driver for this as a (character driver), the main
control software is however a blob.
Installation Instructions:
1. Download factory image to disk
2. Apply factory image via stock web-gui
Back to stock:
1. Login to router via ssh
2. run "asrock_g10_back_to_factory" script from /sbin
Notes:
- If something goes wrong durring sysupgrade, router will go back to
factory image.
- Asrock G10 uses partition layout from smem. So partition layout can
be normal or alternate.

This patch adds support for the Edgecore ECW5410 indoor AP.
Specification:
- SoC: Qualcomm Atheros IPQ8068 ARMv7 2x Cortex A-15
- RAM: 256MB(225 usable) DDR3
- NOR Flash: 16MB SPI NOR
- NAND Flash: 128MB S34MS01G2 Parallel NAND
- Ethernet: 2 x 1G via 2x AR8033 PHY-s connected directly to GMAC2 and GMAC3 via SGMII (802.3af POE IN on eth0)
- USB: 1 x USB 3.0 SuperSpeed
- WLAN: 2x QCA9994 AC Wawe 2 (1x 2GHz bgn, 1x 5GHz acn)
- CC2540 BLE
- UART console on RJ45 next to ethernet ports exposed.
Its Cisco pin compatible, 115200 8n1 baud.
Installation instructions:
Through stock firmware or initramfs.
1.Connect to console
2. Login with root account, if password is unknown then interrupt the boot with f and reset it in failsafe.
3. Transfer factory image
4. Flash the image with ubiformat /dev/mtd1 -y -f <your factory image path>
This will replace the rootfs2 with OpenWrt, if you are currently running from rootfs2 then simply change /dev/mtd1 to /dev/mtd0
Note
Initramfs:
1. Connect to console
2. Transfer the image from TFTP server with tftpboot,
or by using DHCP advertised image with dhcp command.
3. bootm
4. Run ubiformat /dev/mtd1
You need to interrupt the bootloader after rebooting and run:
run altbootcmd
This will switch your active rootfs partition to one you wrote to and boot from it.
So if rootfs1 is active, then it will change it to rootfs2.
This will format the rootfs2 partition, if your active partition is 2 then simply change /dev/mtd1 with /dev/mtd0
If you dont format the partition you will be writing too, then sysupgrade will find existing UBI rootfs and kernel volumes and update those.
This will result in wrong ordering and OpenWrt will panic on boot.
5. Transfer sysupgrade image
6. Flash with sysupgrade -n.
Note that sysupgrade will write the image to rootfs partition that is not currently in use.

Hardware highlights:
- SoC: Qualcomm Atheros IPQ8064/5 ARM Dual Core CPU
- RAM: (512MB or 1GB) DDR3 System Memory
- Storage: 32MB NOR (Cypress S25FL256S1)
256MB NAND (Micron MT29F2G08ABBEAH4)
- Ethernet: 5 x 1G via QCA8337N
- USB: 1 x USB 2.0/3.0 + 1 x USB 2.0 on mini PCIe3 socket
- PCIe: 3x mini PCIe (third mini PCIE3 is PCIe/USB shared)
- SIM Card Slot: 2 x Slot
- Buttons: Reset Button
- LEDs: 18x, 8x GPIO controllable
- Buzzer
The correct amount of RAM will be passed by the bootloader.
In contrast to the documentation provided by Compex, the third PCIe
doesn't use GPIO16 for PERST. Instead, GPIO3 is shared and used as PERST
for PCIe0 and PCIe2.
So far, no one was able to get USB 3.0 working with the 1GB RAM version,
while it works fine for my 512MB version. Since USB 3.0 doesn't work with
the Compex firmware for the 1G variant either, it could be a hardware
issue with these boards.
OpenWrt will be installed to the NAND flash. Make sure to have a full
working image on the NOR flash. It will be the backup in case anything
goes wrong.
It has been observed that an image loaded via tftpboot might have
bitflips. Hence the extra step to create a crc32 checksum to allow to
compare the checksum with the one from the source file prior to flashing.
In all cases it is necessary to set the following u-boot parameter to an
empty (whitespace) value, to ensure that the chosen bootargs of the dts
isn't overwritten or set to bogus - not working - values:
(IPQ) # set bootargs " "
(IPQ) # set fsbootargs " "
(IPQ) # saveenv
The sysupgrade image can be installed directly on flash using u-boot (put
jumper in JP13 (leave JP9 open) to boot from nand):
(IPQ) # set serverip 192.168.1.20
(IPQ) # set ipaddr 192.168.1.1
(IPQ) # tftpboot 0x42000000 openwrt-ipq806x-compex_wpq864-squashfs-nand-factory.bin
(IPQ) # crc32 0x42000000 $filesize
(IPQ) # nand erase 0x1340000 0x4000000
(IPQ) # nand write 0x42000000 0x1340000 $filesize
The initramfs image can be started using:
(IPQ) # set fdt_high 0x48000000
(IPQ) # tftpboot 0x44000000 openwrt-ipq806x-compex_wpq864-initramfs-fit-uImage.itb

This router is similar to the C2600. Ethernet on WAN + LAN, switch,
sysupgrade, LEDs, buttons and WiFi on 2G + 5G do work. The xDSL modem
and the POTS/DECT interface are not supported yet.
It is not possible to flash LEDE via the TP-Link webinterface. The
image need to be signed. The first 0x200 bytes of the image is the
TP-Link header including the signature. The signature is not validated
by the bootloader. The LEDE image is zeroed in this area.
To install LEDE it is necessary to solder a four pin header to JP2.
Connect a serial interface to this header and interrupt the autostart
of kernel. Transfer the sysupgrade image via TFTP and write it to the
serial flash at 0x320000.
