This ports the TP-Link TL-WPA8630 v1 from ar71xx to ath79. Specifications: SoC: QCA9563 CPU: 750 MHz Flash/RAM: 8 / 128 MiB Ethernet: 3x 1G ports (QCA8337 switch) WLAN: 2.4 GHz b/g/n, 5 GHz a/n/ac (ath10k) Buttons, LEDs and network setup appear to be almost identical to the v2 revision. Powerline interface is connected to switch port 5 (Label LAN4). Installation: No "fresh" device was available for testing the factory image. It is not known whether flashing via OEM firmware GUI is possible or not. A discussion from 2018 [1] about that indicates a few adjustments are necessary, but it is not clear whether those are already implemented with the TPLINK_HEADER_VERSION = 2 or not. Note that for the TL-WPA8630P v1, the TPLINK_HWID needs to be changed to 0x86310001 to allow factory flashing. [1] https://forum.openwrt.org/t/solved-tl-wpa8630p-lede-does-not-install/8161/27 Recovery: Recovery is only possible via serial. Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler <freifunk@adrianschmutzler.de> |

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 -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
packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
