Add support to TL-WR710N #2
Comments
|
Unfortunately I am getting incompatible image error when I try to flash the device. Perhaps I need update device to newer versions openWRT or this image is build for newer hardware version 2.0 ? |
|
The device used for testing is TL-WR710N (US) Ver 1.0 running openWRT 17.01.4 |

Hi Arky
The build I made previously was as a variant of the WR703.
But it turns out that this is actually for the V2 device which is different
hardware, so it came up with the "incompatible" error.
The V2 has only 4MB Flash, like the WR703, and so has to be a "tiny" build
in OpenWrt 19.07.
But the V1 has 8MB Flash, and so is a normal "generic" build.
For some reason, the OpenWrt ToH page on WR710 shows the 'latest' firmware
version for the V1 device as 17.01, whereas for the other 8MB Flash
versions, it shows 19.07. For the 4MB Flash versions, it shows 17.01. See
attached screenshot.
This doesn't really make sense, particularly as they include firmware for
the V1 device in the downloads page for 19.07 here:
(
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.3/targets/ar71xx/generic/)
Also the V1 device shows up in menuconfig in the 19.07 build environment.
See attached screenshot.
So I suspect that this is an error and we should be able to build a
firmware image for the V1 device in 19.07.
To check, you might like to do a trial of the 19.07 sysupgrade image from
the OpenWrt Downloads page (as above).
You can do an image test by using the command: sysupgrade -v -n -T
<filename>
Hopefully it will not give the "incompatible" error.
Meanwhile, I will make a Digital Library build for the WR710 V1 device in
19.07 for you to try if the above test is successful.
Regards
Terry

Hi Arky
I made a new build for the WR710-V1 device which you can download here:
https://mega.nz/folder/WL4ESaDS#YLpbc53ISxoGKwqfFvq4lw
I made the same build for the WR842-V1 which I was able to test here, so
the WR710 build should be ok as long as the hardware compatibility is
correct as per the previous email.
Please let me know how it goes.
Regards
Terry

Hi Arky
It would be helpful if you could send me a copy of some of the config files
from the OpenWrt firmware that you have running on the WR710-V1 please.
The specific files are:
/etc/config/system, network, wireless
Thanks
Terry

I have pulled the latest stable release of openwrt and build an custom image for device profile tplink_tl-wr710n-v1. Here the version number and contents of /etc/config folder that you requested. openwrt-19.07 branch (git-20.351.44718-4edcf38) / OpenWrt 19.07.5 r11257-5090152ae3 Next I'll flash the device with the new build you sent me. |

Hi Arky
Thanks for the zip file.
The default OpenWrt build 'system' config file doesn't have any LED config
settings.
In the DL firmware I used the same LED settings as WR703 and MR3020 so
chances are that it will be ok.
Regards
Terry

@tgillett The Luci flashing page show a sysupgrade warning. I didn't want to force update in case it bricks the only spare device that I would need for hacking project over the holidays. |

Hi Arky
Hmmm.. TP Link hardware versions are hard to keep track of.
Definitely not a good idea to force the image after a sysupgrade warning.
I understand that you have built and run an OpenWrt 19.07 firmware image
for your WR701.
If this is correct, could you send me the .config file that was used for
the build please?
That should put us firmly on the same page regarding exactly which device
type it is.
Regards
Terry
