Device specification: - MT7629 with 16MB NOR flash W25Q128 and 128 MB DDR3 RAM. - MT7761N and MT7762N wireless chips (currenlty no driver in OpenWrt available) - WiFi is NOT working on this device - Dual core but second CPU doesn't seem to work (Error message during boot: "CPU1: failed to come online") There are two similar merge requests for similar devices with the same issues: - https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/12286 - https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/5084 UART interface is next to the reset button, pinout: - 1: TX (the pin with the arrow marker) - 2: RX - 3: GND - 4: VCC UART settings: 115200,8n1, 3.3V U-Boot menu can be entered by pressing Ctrl+B during startup. Booting initramfs: - Set your computers IP adress to 192.168.1.110 - Run a TFTP server providing the initramfs image - Power on the AP, press Ctrl+B to get to the U-Boot menu - Select "1. System Load Linux to SDRAM via TFTP" - Update kernel file name, input server IP and input device IP (if they deviate from the defaults) - After booting, create a backup of all partitions, especially for kernel and root_fs. They are required for reverting back to stock firmware - The sysupgrade image can be flashed now MAC adresses: - LAN and 2.4GHz use the same MAC (the one printed on the device) - 5GHz WiFi MAC is LAN MAC + 1 GPIOs: - GPIO 21 is the reset pin (low active) - GPIO 55 is for the green LED (active high) - GPIO 56 is for the yellow/amber LED (active high) Signed-off-by: Roland Reinl <reinlroland+github@gmail.com> (cherry picked from commit 44cd32d764fe1daed3b6d0595530df0c4d1c3464)
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

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.
