ALFA Network R36A is a successor of the previous model, the R36 (Ralink RT3050F based). New version is based on Qualcomm/Atheros QCA9531 v2, FCC ID: 2AB879531. Support for this device was first introduced in af8f0629df (ar71xx target). When updating from previous release (and/or ar71xx target), user should only adjust the WAN LED trigger type (netdev in ar71xx, switch port in ath79). Specifications: - Qualcomm/Atheros QCA9531 v2 - 650/400/200 MHz (CPU/DDR/AHB) - 128 MB (R36AH/-U2) or 64 MB (R36A) of RAM (DDR2) - 16 MB of flash (SPI NOR) - 2x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet - Passive PoE input support (12~36 V) in RJ45 near DC jack - 2T2R 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with Qorvo RFFM8228P FEM - 2x IPEX/U.FL connectors on PCB - 1x USB 2.0 Type-A - 1x USB 2.0 mini Type-B in R36AH-U2 version - USB power is controlled by GPIO - 6/7x LED (5/6 of them are driven by GPIO) - 2x button (reset, wifi/wps) - external h/w watchdog (EM6324QYSP5B, enabled by default) - DC jack with lock, for main power input (12 V) - UART (4-pin, 2.54 mm pitch) header on PCB Optional/additional features in R36A series (R36A was the first model): - for R36AH: USB 2.0 hub* - for R36AH-U2: USB 2.0 hub*, 1x USB 2.0 mini Type-B, one more LED *) there are at least three different USB 2.0 hub in R36AH/-U2 variants: - Terminus-Tech FE 1.1 - Genesys Logic GL852G - Genesys Logic GL850G (used in latests revision) Flash instruction: You can use sysupgrade image directly in vendor firmware which is based on LEDE/OpenWrt. Alternatively, you can use web recovery mode in U-Boot: 1. Configure PC with static IP 192.168.1.2/24. 2. Connect PC with one of RJ45 ports, press the reset button, power up device, wait for first blink of all LEDs (indicates network setup), then keep button for 3 following blinks and release it. 3. Open 192.168.1.1 address in your browser and upload sysupgrade image. Signed-off-by: Piotr Dymacz <pepe2k@gmail.com>
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.
gcc binutils bzip2 flex python3 perl make find grep diff unzip gawk getopt
subversion libz-dev libc-dev
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.
