Serial
------
The serial port needs a TTL/RS-232 3V3 level converter! The Serial
setting is 57600-8-N-1. The board has an unpopulated 2.54mm straight pin
header.
The pinout is: VCC (the square), RX, TX, GND.
Installation
------------
See the Wiki page [1] for more details, it comes down to:
1. Open the device, take off the heat sink
2. Connect the SPI flash chip to a flasher, e.g. a Raspberry Pi. Also
connect the RESET pin for stability (thanks @FPSUsername for reporting)
3. Make a backup in case you want to revert to stock later
4. Flash the squashfs-factory.trx file to offset 0x50000 of the flash
5. Ensure the bootpartition variable is set to 0 in the U-Boot
environment located at 0x30000
Note that the U-Boot is password protected, this can optionally be
removed. See the forum [2] for more details.
MAC Addresses(stock)
--------------------
+----------+------------------+-------------------+
| use | address | example |
+----------+------------------+-------------------+
| Device | label | 00:00:00:11:00:00 |
| Ethernet | + 3 | 00:00:00:11:00:03 |
| 2g | + 0x020000f00001 | 02:00:00:01:00:01 |
| 5g | + 1 | 00:00:00:11:00:01 |
+----------+------------------+-------------------+
The label address is stored in ASCII in the board_data partition
Notes
-----
- This device has a dual-boot partition scheme, but OpenWRT will claim
both partitions for more storage space.
Known issues
------------
- 2g MAC address does not match stock due to missing support for that in
macaddr_add
- Only the power LED is configured by default
