This board is very similar to the Aruba AP-105, but is outdoor-first. It is very similar to the MSR2000 (though certain MSR2000 models have a different PHY[^1]). A U-Boot replacement is required to install OpenWrt on these devices[^2]. Specifications -------------- * Device: Aruba AP-175 * SoC: Atheros AR7161 680 MHz MIPS * RAM: 128MB - 2x Mira P3S12D40ETP * Flash: 16MB MXIC MX25L12845EMI-10G (SPI-NOR) * WiFi: 2 x DNMA-H92 Atheros AR9220-AC1A 802.11abgn * ETH: IC+ IP1001 Gigabit + PoE PHY * LED: 2x int., plus 12 ext. on TCA6416 GPIO expander * Console: CP210X linking USB-A Port to CPU console @ 115200 * RTC: DS1374C, with internal battery * Temp: LM75 temperature sensor Factory installation: - Needs a u-boot replacement. The process is almost identical to that of the AP105, except that the case is easier to open, and that you need to compile u-boot from a slightly different branch: https://github.com/Hurricos/u-boot-ap105/tree/ap175 The instructions for performing an in-circuit reflash with an SPI-Flasher like a CH314A can be found on the OpenWrt Wiki (https://openwrt.org/toh/aruba/ap-105); in addition a detailed guide may be found on YouTube[^3]. - Once u-boot has been replaced, a USB-A-to-A cable may be used to connect your PC to the CP210X inside the AP at 115200 baud; at this point, the normal u-boot serial flashing procedure will work (set up networking; tftpboot and boot an OpenWrt initramfs; sysupgrade to OpenWrt proper.) - There is no built-in functionality to revert back to stock firmware, because the AP-175 has been declared by the vendor[^4] end-of-life as of 31 Jul 2020. If for some reason you wish to return to stock firmware, take a backup of the 16MiB flash before flashing u-boot.

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.

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 python3.6+ rsync subversion unzip which
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
maketo 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.
