| + | ===== Installation ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Restore mode ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you want to upload firmware to router by tftp, you will have to turn your device to this mode. The procedure is following: | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Turn off the device. | ||
| + | - Press and hold the reset button. | ||
| + | - Plug the device (still hold the button). | ||
| + | - Wait until the Diagnostic LED (second from the left) starts flashing quickly. (This will happen almost immediately.) | ||
| + | - Now release the reset button. Your router is in Restore mode. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== TFTP installation notes ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Set your ethernet interface into static mode (IP address 192.168.168.10, netmask 255.255.255.0, default gateway 192.168.168.1), put your router into **[[toh:compex:wp543#restore.mode|Restore mode]]** and upload the firmware by TFTP using the following commands (replace XXXXXX with wp546): | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | $ tftp 192.168.168.1 | ||
| + | tftp> binary | ||
| + | tftp> trace | ||
| + | tftp> put openwrt-ar71xx-wp546.bin | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Diagnostic LED will now stop blinking for a while; if the flashing procedure is successfully done, it will start blinking slowly. Now reboot your router manually (turn off - turn on) and OpenWrt will boot. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Upgrading OpenWRT（on Compex Myloader） ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Minimum Requirement == | ||
| + | 1. Compex loader version 2.64 or above. | ||
| + | 2. OpenWRT will only be supported on WP546 with 4MB NOR flash and above. | ||
| + | 3. Please ensure that the Ethernet connection is able to ping address = 192.168.168.1 | ||
| + | 4. If there is a USB NAND flash available on board, you would need to change the loader configuration. Please refer to “what to do if there is a onboard NAND Flash”. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Compiling OpenWRT suitable for use on WP546 == | ||
| + | |||
| + | 1. Getting source codes | ||
| + | >svn co –r 12448 https://snv.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk | ||
| + | |||
| + | 2. Apply patches from the files mod-wp546.tgz | ||
| + | >tar zxvf mod-wp546.tgz | ||
| + | >cp –a mod-wp546/* trunk/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | 3. Compile | ||
| + | >cd trunk | ||
| + | >cp wp546.config .config | ||
| + | >make | ||
| + | |||
| + | OpenWRT Firmware will be in bin/openwrt-ar71xx-wp546.bin | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Uploading the OpenWRT firmware to WP543 running MyLoader v2.64.0424 == | ||
| + | |||
| + | a. Via Compex Firmware | ||
| + | |||
| + | *Put the AP in Firmware Upgrade mode and upload the file. | ||
| + | *This file is for WP546 with 4MB or 8MB NOR flash. | ||
| + | b. Via TFTP | ||
| + | *Go to the firmware upgrade mode (By pressing and hold the Reset button and plug-in the power adapter). | ||
| + | *Upload the OpenWRT image to the device (tftp –i 192.168.168.1 put openwrt-ar71xx-wp546.bin) | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Wireless ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Both madwifi and ath9k work well with all Compex MiniPCI cards. You will need some wireless authenticator and/or supplicant (wpad-mini/wpad/wpa-supplicant/hostpad/hostapd-mini). | ||
| + | |||
| + | :!: Madwifi doesn't support MAC changes through UCI on this architecture. If you want to change of wireless MAC, see [[http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/UserDocs/ChangeMacAddress|this]]. | ||
