This is an RTL8382-based switch with 24 copper ports + 4 SFP ports Specifications: --------------- * SoC: Realtek RTL8382M * Flash: 32 MiB SPI flash * RAM: 256 MiB * Ethernet: 24x 10/100/1000 Mbps * Buttons: 1x "Reset" button * UART: 1x serial header, unpopulated * SFP: 4 SFP ports Works: ------ - (24) RJ-45 ethernet ports - Switch functions - Buttons - Sys LED on front panel (no port LEDs) Not yet enabled: ---------------- - Port LEDs (no driver for RTL8231 in this mode) - SFP cages (no driver for PHY) Install via web interface: ------------------------- Not supported at this time. Install via serial console/tftp: -------------------------------- The U-Boot firmware drops to a TP-Link specific "BOOTUTIL" shell at 38400 baud. There is no known way to exit out of this shell, and no way to do anything useful. Ideally, one would trick the bootloader into flashing the sysupgrade image first. However, if the image exceeds 6MiB in size, it will not work. To install OpenWRT: Prepare a tftp server with: 1. server address: 192.168.0.146 2. the image as: "uImage.img" Power on device, and stop boot by pressing any key. Once the shell is active: 1. Ground out the CLK (pin 16) of the ROM (U6) 2. Select option "3. Start" 3. Bootloader notes that "The kernel has been damaged!" 4. Release CLK as soon as bootloader thinks image is corrupted. 5. Bootloader enters automatic recovery -- details printed on console 6. Watch as the bootloader flashes and boots OpenWRT. Blind install via tftp: ----------------------- This method works when it's not feasible to install a serial header. Prepare a tftp server with: 1. server address: 192.168.0.146 2. the image as: "uImage.img" 3. Watch network traffic (tcpdump or wireshark works) 4. Power on the device. 5. Wait 1-2 seconds then ground out the CLK (pin 16) of the ROM (U6) 6. When 192.168.0.30 makes tftp requests, release pin 16 7. Wait 2-3 minutes for device to auto-flash and boot OpenWRT Signed-off-by: Andreas Böhler <dev@aboehler.at>
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.
