Hi!
I would like to port OpenWRT on the Ubiquiti UniFi AP Outdoor router. I know that the AP Outdoor Plus is already supported but I have no idea of the differences between the two routers.
It is my first time on porting OpenWRT on a new device so I will need some help.
First, to avoid to corrupt the flash for each attempt, I would prefer to load a ramdisk from tftp but I am not sure how to achieve that. I have read this wiki page but it is for flashing and not just for testing.
My first attempt was to flash the AP Outdoor Plus image via:
fwupdate.real -m openwrt-ar71xx-generic-ubnt-unifi-outdoor-plus-squashfs-factory.bin -d
But I have ended up with a corrupted flash and a device stuck in u-Boot.
I have managed to flash a stock Ubiquiti image BZ.ar7240.v3.7.58.6385.170508.0942.bin using the Ubiquiti recovery procedure (tftp server via RESET press at boot).
So this time I would like to avoid the recovery process after each attempt.
I have added some bits to try to support my router by copying the changes needed by the Outdoor Plus. I have modified to flash layout to match the stock one, the leds need to be tested and I have no idea where the wifi firmware is located.

I have built a new OpenWRT image but now, how could I test it?
Thank you
