Please try to flash the ra75 sysupgrade from snapshots directly by pressing [2].

f3c02667d150afca3c9075f5e54fd7d4b6e481fd

That's what I did. Please refer to the first code block for the logs/traces. The sysupgrade.bin file in that code block was openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-xiaomi_mi-ra75-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin from your Google Drive. I renamed that to just sysupgrade.bin to make it easier to work with. I also tried using the full filename (openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-xiaomi_mi-ra75-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin) but that didn't work too.

zulh · January 24, 2023, 3:04pm

FWIW, I'm using:

The 'Speed' setting for Tera Term is 115200. Other settings are on default. The USB UART cable was connected to RA75 on RX, GND and TX pins. V/red pin was not connected as the RA75 already connected to my house wall socket.

For tftp software, I thought the problem was related to Tftpd64 where my RA75 can't connect/download the .bin file (because I didn't see any progress or logs inside Tftpd64 software).

Hence, I searched around - found that SolarWinds TFTP Server and gave it a try. Unfortunately, that didn't work too. I checked all the settings many times to confirm if there's anything that could block my RA75 from downloading the file. All settings in the SolarWinds TFTP Server are fine - it allows 'Transmit and Receive files' and permitted to all IP addresses.

For both Tftpd64 and SolarWinds TFTP Server steps, I set my PC IP to 192.168.31.100 and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. For the Default Gateway and DNS server fields, I left them blank. And I disabled all networking adapters on my PC except the Ethernet. RA75 and my PC was connected using a LAN cable.

I also tried setting my PC IP to 192.168.1.2 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0) and answer the Input device IP question/prompt by setting RA75 IP to 192.168.1.1. That didn't work too.

brusarp · February 15, 2023, 4:27pm

Hi, thanks for your work!
Just installed on my RA75 from the official "OpenWrt" link.
Soldered Jtag.
The tricky part is pressing the "2" with the correct timing on the U-boot.
After installation you need to change the IP address (default 192.168.1.1) with the CLI.
Then you need to install LUCI (SNAPSHOT image, so it doesn't have it...)
Then open LUCI and you're done. Very good!

With my second RA75 I've the same error (seems that it doesn't erase nothing and boot the MI image).
I solve with this way:

press 1 to load Openwrt on RAM via TFTP
setup IP address
install LUCI
browse to LUCI address
use LUCI firmware upgrade menu and reinstall Openwrt sysupgrade image

Maybe @jdeisenh can recognize and solve this issue...

zulh · February 16, 2023, 1:40am

Sorry, what do you mean by "setup IP address" and "install LUCI" here? What exactly did you do?

brusarp · February 16, 2023, 6:27am

After install you need to set the IP address:

uci set network.lan.proto="static"
uci set network.lan.ipaddr="192.168.1.70"
uci set network.lan.netmask="255.255.255.0"
uci set network.lan.gateway="192.168.1.1"
uci set network.lan.dns="1.1.1.1"
uci commit network
/etc/init.d/network restart

after you need to install LUCI:

opkg update
opkg install luci

Also I think it is necessary to redo these commands that after installing the firmware from the "before" installation of LUCI (go overwrite the firmware...)

zulh · February 17, 2023, 5:57am

Which firmware image did you use for this step? Will this image work? If not, can you share the link?

I guess you use this image for this step. Am I correct?

jdeisenh · February 17, 2023, 6:48pm

Hi @zulh
You should use https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ramips/mt76x8/openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-xiaomi_mi-ra75-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

But I am pretty sure that the image is not your problem. It does not seem to flash anything.
But you are pretty close if you got that far.

Something on your TFTP setup must be wrong.

What TFTP server are you using, and how did you arrive at the ip adresses?

brusarp · February 17, 2023, 9:57pm

Exactly,
the image I've used is that you linked.
But also for me one extender flash work perfectly but for the other I need to use the "ram" detour... Same TFTP, same TTL adapter, same all...

opencan · February 18, 2023, 3:13pm

Can you use this as a travel body, e.g. connect on 5G to another access point and then bridge your own access point on 2.4G and Ethernet ? Or possibly even both 2.4G & 5G

jdeisenh · February 18, 2023, 10:52pm

The RA75 has two independent radios, and you have the full flexibility of OpenWRT to configure something like that. However, it better be routed, not 'bridged'.

zulh · February 19, 2023, 4:17pm

Finally, I managed to install it using this firmware:

To make it clear, I went with option 2: Load system code then write to Flash via TFTP. Not option 1: Load system code to SDRAM via TFTP (as described here).

It worked this time after I temporarily disabled firewall on my Windows like this:

FYI, I was using Tera Term and Tftpd64 softwares during the process. I believe the problem I had earlier was firewall/connectivity issue between my PC and RA75. If you're on Windows, try to disable your firewall or add firewall exception for Tftpd64 software (see this guide).

While I don't think this is critical because the LuCI is working fine so far for me, I'm going to highlight it anyway - there was an error at the end of the LuCI installation and I'm not sure what it's all about.

Overall, it worked great so far. Thank you very much @jdeisenh for working on this RA75 support!

Anemona · February 27, 2023, 11:02am

Hello, i want to install openwrt on my mi ra75 but i cant do soldering, could anyone share spi backup with openwrt installed so it can be flashed directly to ic flash with a ch341a please, thanks!

Leeeeerich · March 1, 2023, 5:51am

Hi there! I have RA75, and I want upgrade it with outside directional input antenn for 2.4GHz, but I don't understand, what antenn I should change or I can't do it, because first work for Rx and second for Tx?

jdeisenh · March 1, 2023, 12:35pm

This is a MIMO Device, both antennas work simultaneously for TX and RX.
If you look at the photos in https://fccid.io/2AFZZRA75/Internal-Photos/Internal-photos-5364844.pdf you will see that each 'ear' contains both a 5 and 2.4GHz antenna. They are also clearly marked, in the photos, at least.
The antenna wires are soldered to the board. So this hardware is not the best basis for such experiments.
I think that the hardware will adapt if you just connect one antenna, loosing the MIMO advantage. Will only be worth it if the antenna is much better.
So please try, but no guarantees.

Leeeeerich · March 1, 2023, 1:19pm

Yes, thank you, I understand that this is not the best base for such experiments, but in my conditions, I don't have a better one (

That is, do you think that if one is replaced with an external one, then it can automatically start working separately? And as for the software part, isn't it possible to separate them and change their purpose in a simple way?

Leeeeerich · March 13, 2023, 11:34am

for some unknown reason I can't connect via LAN, when I turn on Wi-Fi, I was able to connect to it, but with the official settings documentation, I have to use LAN, at this stage everything breaks for me, ignoring this stage does nothing does not work, although through UART, it is pinged on 8.8.8.8 without problems. I'm probably doing something wrong. Is there not already a ready-made solution so that it is not necessary to turn on WiFi, via UART, because after the reset, it will not be very good to search for UART again, and secondly, the repeater is already configured, where it will be necessary to connect purely through the phone (Wi- Fi), find the client setting and enter your data there?

jdeisenh · March 13, 2023, 1:16pm

Please explain in a bit more detail

What did you configure,exactly
What happened
What did you expect?
