Petr Štetiar e6d66375cb tplink-safeloader: fix C7v5 factory flashing from vendor fw > v1.1.x 
Currently it's not possible to flash factory images on devices shipped
with vendor firmware versions 1.1.0 Build 20201120 rel. 50406 (published
2020-12-22):

 (curFw_ver, newFw_ver) == (1.1, 1.0) [NM_Error](nm_checkSoftVer) 00848: Firmwave not supports, check failed.
 [NM_Error](nm_checkUpdateContent) 01084: software version dismatched
 [NM_Error](nm_buildUpgradeStruct) 01188: checkUpdateContent failed.

They've even following note in release notes:

 Note: You will be unable to downgrade to the previous firmware version
       after updating this firmware.

This version check in vendor firmware is implemented in
/usr/bin/nvrammanager binary likely as following C code[1]:

 sscanf(buf, "%d.%d.%*s",&upd_fw_major, &upd_fw_minor);
 ...
 if (((int)upd_fw_major < (int)cur_fw_major) ||
     ((ret = 1, cur_fw_major == upd_fw_major && (upd_fw_minor < (int)cur_fw_minor)))) {
       ret = 0;
       printf("[NM_Error](%s) %05d: Firmwave not supports, check failed.\r\n\r\n","nm_checkSoftVer" ,0x350);
 }
 ...
 return ret;

So in order to fix this and make it future proof it should be enough to
ship our factory firmware images with major version 7 (lucky number).

Tested on latest firmware version 1.1.2 Build 20210125 rel.37999:

 Firmwave supports, check OK.
  (curFw_ver, newFw_ver) == (1.1, 7.0) check firmware ok!

Flashing back to vendor firmware
c7v5_us-up-ver1-1-2-P1[20210125-rel37999]_2021-01-25_10.33.55.bin works
as well:

 U-Boot 1.1.4-gbec22107-dirty (Nov 18 2020 - 18:19:12)

OpenWrt logo

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.

binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.6+ rsync subversion unzip which

Quickstart

  1. Run ./scripts/feeds update -a to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

  2. Run ./scripts/feeds install -a to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/

  3. Run make menuconfig to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

  4. 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.
