From f8f8935adb2be1ebce46a8d7058c76a8d3a9bd89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vinay Patil Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2021 06:52:51 +0530 Subject: ramips: add support for TP-Link Archer A6 v3 The patch adds support for the TP-Link Archer A6 v3 The router is sold in US and India with FCC ID TE7A6V3 Specification ------------- MediaTek MT7621 SOC RAM: 128MB DDR3 SPI Flash: W25Q128 (16MB) Ethernet: MT7530 5x 1000Base-T WiFi 5GHz: Mediatek MT7613BE WiFi 2.4GHz: Mediatek MT7603E UART/Serial: 115200 8n1 Device Configuration & Serial Port Pins --------------------------------------- ETH Ports: LAN4 LAN3 LAN2 LAN1 WAN _______________________ | | Serial Pins: | VCC GND TXD RXD | |_____________________| LEDs: Power Wifi2G Wifi5G LAN WAN Build Output ------------ The build will generate following set of files [1] openwrt-ramips-mt7621-tplink_archer-a6-v3-initramfs-kernel.bin [2] openwrt-ramips-mt7621-tplink_archer-a6-v3-squashfs-factory.bin [3] openwrt-ramips-mt7621-tplink_archer-a6-v3-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin How to Use - Flashing from TP-Link Web Interface ------------------------------------------------ * Go to "Advanced/System Tools/Firmware Update". * Click "Browse" and upload the OpenWrt factory image: factory.bin[2] * Click the "Upgrade" button, and select "Yes" when prompted. TFTP Booting ------------ Setup a TFTP boot server with address 192.168.0.5. While starting U-boot press '4' key to stop autoboot. Copy the initramfs-kernel.bin[1] to TFTP server folder, rename as test.bin From u-boot command prompt run tftpboot followed by bootm. Recovery -------- Archer A6 V3 has recovery page activated if SPI booting from flash fails. Recovery page can be activated from serial console only. Press 'x' while u-boot is starting Note: TFTP boot can be activated only from u-boot serial console. Device recovery address: 192.168.0.1 Thanks to: Frankis for Randmon MAC address fix.
