FCC ID: A8J-ESR750H Engenius ESR600H is an indoor wireless router with a gigabit switch, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless, internal and external antennas, and a USB port. **Specification:** - RT3662F MIPS SOC, 5 GHz WMAC (2x2) - RT5392L PCI on-board, 2.4 GHz (2x2) - AR8327 RGMII, 7-port GbE, 25 MHz clock - 40 MHz reference clock - 8 MB FLASH 25L6406EM2I-12G - 64 MB RAM - UART at J12 (unpopulated) - 2 internal antennas (5 GHz) - 2 external antennas (2.4 GHz) - 9 LEDs, 1 button (power, wps, wifi2g, wifi5g, 5 LAN/WAN) - USB 2 port (GPIO controlled power) **MAC addresses:** MAC Addresses are labeled as WAN and WLAN U-boot environment has the the vendor MAC address for ethernet MAC addresses in "factory" are part of wifi calibration data eth0.2 WAN *:13:e7 u-boot-env wanaddr eth0.1 ---- *:13:e8 u-boot-env wanaddr + 1 phy0 WLAN *:14:b8 factory 0x8004 phy1 ---- *:14:bc factory 0x4 **Installation:** Method 1: Firmware upgrade page OEM webpage at 192.168.0.1 username and password "admin" Navigate to Network Setting --> Tools --> Firmware Click Browse and select the factory.dlf image Click Continue to confirm and wait 6 minutes or more... Method 2: Serial console to load TFTP image: (see TFTP recovery) **Return to OEM:** Unlike most Engenius boards, this does not have a 'failsafe' image the only way to return to OEM is serial access to uboot Unlike most Engenius boards, public images are not available... so the only way to return to OEM is to have a copy of the MTD partition "firmware" BEFORE flashing openwrt. **TFTP recovery:** Unlike most Engenius boards, TFTP is reliable here however it requires serial console access (soldering pins to the UART pinouts) build your own image... with 'ramdisk' selected under 'Target Images' rename initramfs-kernel.bin to 'uImageESR-600H' make the file available on a TFTP server at 192.168.99.8 interrupt boot by holding or pressing '4' in serial console as soon as board is powered on `tftpboot 0x81000000` `bootm 0x81000000` perform a sysupgrade **Format of OEM firmware image:** This Engenius board uses the Senao proprietary header with a unique Product ID. The header for factory.bin is generated by the mksenaofw program included in openwrt. .dlf file extension is also required for OEM software to accept it **Note on using OKLI:** the kernel is now too large for the bootloader to handle so OKLI is used via the `kernel-loader` image command recently in master several other ramips boards have the same problem 'Kernel panic - not syncing: Failed to find ralink,rt3883-sysc node' see commit ad19751edc21ae713bd95df6b93be64bd1e0c612 Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt <mcpratt@pm.me>
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 rsync
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -a
to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -a
to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfig
to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
make
to 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
