Hello,
I'm trying to flash LEDE 18 on my (stock) TP-Link Archer c50 v3.
I found the following procedure:
The only way to flash LEDE image in ArcherC50v3 is to use
tftp recovery mode in U-Boot:
-
Configure PC with static IP 192.168.0.66/24 and tftp server.
2: em1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 00:26:18:21:db:08 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.0.66/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global em1
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::226:18ff:fe21:db08/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
==> OK -
Rename "openwrt-ramips-mt7628-ArcherC50v3-squashfs-tftp-recovery.bin"
to "tp_recovery.bin" and place it in tftp server directory.
[root@voyager tftproot]# tftp 192.168.0.66
tftp> get tp_recovery.bin
tftp>
==> OK
- Connect PC with one of LAN ports, press the reset button, power up
the router and keep button pressed for around 6-7 seconds, until
device starts downloading the file. - Router will download file from server, write it to flash and reboot.
Nothing happens. With tcpdump I see only:
11:10:08.293777 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.0.66 tell 192.168.0.2, length 46
..........

11:10:08.293817 ARP, Reply 192.168.0.66 is-at 00:26:18:21:db:08, length 28
.........&.!.....B..
.. ....
No tftp traffic.
Note: it's an EU version.
Could you help me ?
Thanks,
