Hello.
I'm trying to add support for NEC Aterm WR8750N in ath79 target.
Specification:
SoC: Atheros AR9344
RAM: 2x DDR2 64MB (H5PS5162GFR) = 128MB
Flash: SPI-NOR 8MB (MX25L6406E)
Switch: QCA8337
USB: 2.0 Type-A
Bootloader: unknown (original?)
OS (stock firmware): NetBSD based
baudrate: 9600bps
other infomations: https://memo205.wordpress.com/2018/12/07/wr8750n/ http://www.aterm.jp/product/atermstation/verup/warpstar/wr8750n.html
Repository:
Currently, when I pass the OpenWrt initramfs image via tftp, it succeeded to start the lzma-loader of OpenWrt on this device. But, An exception occurs during decoding lzma-compressed kernel and it will hard reset.
log:
boot> start tftp load openwrt-ath79-generic-nec_wr8750
end tftp load length = 3505264
start memory load ...

I don't know the cause of the exception and cannot solve it.
I succeeded to start Linux Kernel with gzip-compressed initramfs image, but a soft-reset occurs during boot and will be interrupted.

Hi,
Are you still working on this device? Looks TP-Link TL-WDR4300 v1 firmware works on the device (at least usable, but I have not fully tested it).
Done, but it's a personal support and no plan to submit patches to official repository.
Note: TL-WDR4300 v1 firmware can't be booted on this device.
