ER7206 using OpenWrt?

any potential support for ER7206?

Open one up, see what's inside.

Or perhaps binwalk the fw.

once we get a backup-system in place (here), we can start risking it

According to the firmware offered for download this is an octeon (MIPS64!) platform, running a vendor-modified version of OpenWrt Barrier Breaker 14.07. Adding support for this device to OpenWrt should be pretty easy, just add the device tree, add userland for sysupgrade, buttons, leds, default settings, ... and build an image compatible with the vendor firmware.
We may need to enable realtek-mdio DSA driver to support the RTL8367S (it is apparently supported already by vanilla Linux, so just need to enable the driver, hopefully...)

This is the device-tree extracted from latest vendor firmware:

I just got one of these devices -- the v1.0 model -- and it seems pretty capable. It was a compromise; I needed to replace my edgerouter 5-PoE urgently and my go-to vendors -- ubiquiti and mikrotik -- are all out of stock. But this router performs better and runs cooler than the router it replaced. I'm pleased to learn it's running openwrt under the hood.

I've not done this before but I will try the steps daniel mentioned and work through https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/adding_new_device this weekend and report back.

Best of luck!

A good source of guidance is looking at the git commits for other devices with the same SOC, this makes it clear where updates are needed.

Hi,
I just bought one and I am interested to run openwrt on it.
@droyo , did you succeed to run openwrt on your device ?

Regards,

This is the internal of the device.
I located a JTAG port but I failed to get the 3.3v pin. On one or two pin I have a signal.

You shouldn't connect the 3.3v pin anyway, RX, TX and GND.

Sure !
But I have 3 pins that seems to have some signal. It was a bit unexpected.
Let see what happen, at least nothing seems to send more than 3.3v so I will test each pin against a serial console.
Standard baudrate is 115200, right?

Ready to play !

I can manage to configure the kernek but I'll definitely need help for creating a full firmware with
device-tree and tplink safeloader.

Best regards,

Wonder if they actually implemented that?

Never stop being impressed by the lack of simple spell checking in vendor firmware. Makes you think about the general quality assurance...

Maybe try "mii write" instead of "mii wirte" in the phy enable command?

@frollic @openwrtFan11 I have now a working kernel but I struggle to create a factory image for the TP-Link.

Hi all,

Any update on this? I purchased one of these and would love to get openwrt loaded.

Thanks
