Flashing
| NOTE: During configuration or flashing a device, the only things that should be hooked to the device is the computer and power. |
Flashing OpenWrt
| This device is NOT RECOMMENDED for future use with OpenWrt due to low flash/ram.
DO NOT BUY DEVICES WITH 8MB FLASH / 64MB RAM if you intend to flash an up-to-date and secure OpenWrt version onto it! See 8/64 warning for details. This device does not have sufficient resources (flash and/or RAM) to provide secure and reliable operation. This means that you will not be able to install many packages, and that you might experience crashes due to OOM situations more or less often. See OpenWrt on 8/64 devices what you can do now. |

ar71xx: add support for ALFA Network R36A ALFA Network R36A is a successor of the previous model, the R36 (Ralink RT3050F based). New version is based on Qualcomm/Atheros QCA9531 v2. Specification: - 650/400/200 MHz (CPU/DDR/AHB) - 64 MB of RAM (DDR2) - 16 MB of FLASH (SPI NOR) - 2x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, with passive PoE support (24 V) - 2T2R (QCA9531) 2.4 GHz, 2x u.fl connectors on PCB - 1x USB 2.0 (power controlled by GPIO) - 6x LED (5 of them are driven by GPIO) - 2x button (reset, wifi/wps) - external h/w watchdog (EM6324QYSP5B, disabled and not used) - DC jack for main power input (12 V) - UART header on PCB Flash instruction: You can use sysupgrade image directly in vendor firmware which is based on LEDE/OpenWrt. Alternatively, you can use web recovery mode in U-Boot: 1. Configure PC with static IP 192.168.1.2/24. 2. Connect PC with one of RJ45 ports, press the reset button, power up device, wait for first blink of all LEDs (indicates network setup), then keep button for 3 following blinks and release it. 3. Open 192.168.1.1 address in your browser and upload sysupgrade image. |
