Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 6P is 6 port router with similar
specifications as the EdgeRouter 4, support for which was added
in commit dd651e54cc5eadba480a56a7d2c18471e560f491
There are five 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ/Copper ports and
one 1000 Mbps SFP port.
SoC: Octeon Cavium 7130 (Cavium 3) at 1000MHz
Memory: 1GiB DDR3
Flash: 2x2M chips with uboots (chainloaded) + 512K eeprom
LEDs: 1x for power status (white/blue, controllable)
and 6x for ethernet and SFP ports (no control over them)
Buttons: 1x Reset
Serial: 1x RJ45 port on front panel. 115200 baud, 8N1
USB: 1x USB3.0 on front panel
MII: 1x QSGMII from SoC
PHY: 1x Vitesse VSC8504 of which 4 ports are used (phys 4-7)
1x Vitesse VSC8514 of which 2 ports are used (phys 8-9)
Network port mapping
- eth0 on device maps to lan0 and phy5
- eth1 on device maps to lan1 and phy6
- eth2 on device maps to lan2 and phy7
- eth3 on device maps to lan3 and phy8
- eth4 on device maps to lan4 and phy9
- eth5 (SFP) on device maps to lan5 and phy4
What is not working:
- There is no port status available before it goes up
- SFP have no additional status and presented as no different from eth
- Power-over-ethernet (passive) support has not been tested
How to flash the firmware:
- copy openwrt-octeon-ubnt_edgerouter-6p-initramfs-kernel.bin and
openwrt-octeon-ubnt_edgerouter-6p-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar to
USB flash drive that is formatted to vfat/fat32
- connect USB flash drive to EdgeRouter 6P front USB port
- connect serial cable using front RJ45 port (115200 baud, 8N1)
- connect power to cable to EdgeRouter 6P
- connect terminal to the console to see uboot boot process
- interrupt boot by pressing button(s) on your keyboard to log
in to the uboot
- detect usb connected flash drives by typing to the console:
usb start
- after drive is detected load initramfs+kernel to the memory by typing:
fatload usb 0:1 0x20000000 openwrt-octeon-ubnt_edgerouter-6p-initramfs-kernel.bin
- after initramfs+kernel is loaded to the memory load it by typing:
bootoctlinux 0 numcores=4 endbootargs mem=0
- boot process should finish and you will be greeted with console
after pressing enter
- create directory to mount usb flash drive to by typing:
mkdir /tmp/sda
- mount flash drive to that directory by typing:
mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/sda
- flash firmware to router internal storage by typing:
sysupgrade /tmp/sda/openwrt-octeon-ubnt_edgerouter-6p-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar
- device will reboot and after it gets up you will have
edgerouter 6p running openwrt

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!
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.
