TP-Link EAP245 v3 is an AC1750 (802.11ac Wave-2) ceiling mount access point. UART access (for debricking) requires non-trivial soldering. Specifications: * SoC: QCA9563 (CPU/DDR/AHB @ 775/650/258 MHz) * RAM: 128MiB * Flash: 16MiB SPI-NOR * Wireless 2.4GHz (SoC): b/g/n 3x3 * Wireless 5GHz (QCA9982): a/n/ac 3x3 with MU-MIMO * Ethernet (QCA8337N switch): 2× 1GbE, ETH1 (802.3at PoE) and ETH2 * Green and amber status LEDs * Reset switch (GPIO, available for failsafe) Flashing instructions: All recent firmware versions (latest is 2.20.0), can disable firmware signature verification and use a padded firmware file to flash OpenWrt: * ssh into target device and run `cliclientd stopcs` * upload factory image via web interface The stopcs-method is supported from firmware version 2.3.0. Earlier versions need to be upgraded to a newer stock version before flashing OpenWrt. Factory images for these devices are RSA signed by TP-Link. While the signature verification can be disabled, the factory image still needs to have a (fake) 1024 bit signature added to pass file checks. Debricking instructions: You can recover using u-boot via the serial port: * Serial port is available from J3 (1:TX, 2:RX, 3:GND, 4:3.3V) * Bridge R237 to connect RX, located next to J3 * Bridge R225 to connect TX, located inside can on back-side of board * Serial port is 115200 baud, 8n1, interrupt u-boot by holding ctrl+B * Upload initramfs with tftp and upgrade via OpenWrt Device mac addresses: Stock firmware has the same mac address for 2.4GHz wireless and ethernet, 5GHz is incremented by one. The base mac address is stored in the 'default-mac' partition (offset 0x90000) at an offset of 8 bytes. ART blobs contain no mac addresses.

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.
