I'm new to openwrt and lede in general. I was originally looking to install openwrt but instead am going by lede because it seems to be more up to date (based on my research).
When I was looking to install openwrt for my router, Linksys EA3500, I know I had to use a trunk build which doesn't come with luci.
The last time I tried to install LEDE from stock Linksys on my EA3500, about a month ago, it wouldn't flash, both stable and development builds failed. If that happens to you, just install OpenWrt and then install LEDE from OpenWrt. Also, you might want to look at this thread and the fixes they discuss, my EA3500 has the same dropping problem as the EA4500 (they're almost identical devices).
I think @ahmadrasyidsalims meant to show you which packages came by default when using builds from the builbot (here for the release build). This is not a config you would normally require to do anything with.
If you build your own, you don't have to get that config neither, you just have to make menuconfig, select target, save and exit and make. This would result in the same default configurations used by the buildbot.
As a new user of LEDE, if you also want to build your own firmware, take your first steps here:
Same thing happened here. I tried flashing the lede bin file from stock linksys and it wouldn't take.
I was able to flash the openwrt trunk build r47197 git-15.310.28416-524c918. I used the squashfs from wolftek's website since it has Luci. http://www.wolfteck.com/projects/candyhouse/openwrt/
openwrt-kirkwood-ea3500-squashfs-factory.bin
I then made the mistake of trying to flash with the lede bin which didn't take.
When I got my EA3500, it's build was already in OpenWrt trunk so I never used the Candyhouse build and I'm not familiar with it, I'd assume since you used the squashfs-factory.bin file you would be able to upgrade normally, so I don't know why it didn't work, maybe someone who's familiar with Candyhouse will run across this and be able to help.
In the meantime, it looks like only one flash has worked, so the stock Linksys firmware should still be on the other partition, you can boot into it by interrupting the boot 3 times -
Unplug the EA3500
Plug it in
Wait a few seconds and then unplug it before it boots completely
Wait a few more seconds and then plug it back in and repeat the above
Do that 3 times and on the 4th time leave it plugged in and let it boot.
That should take you back to stock Linksys, from there you can install the OpenWrt trunk build without Luci (not Candyhouse), and I can show you how to install Luci from there or how to upgrade without Luci, it's really pretty easy. Also, looking through the comments on the Candyhouse page, it sounds like you can flash the stock Linksys firmware form the Candyhouse gui, but I'm not positive about that, it's probably best to try and boot into the other partition first.
I wasn't able to get it to boot to the stock linksys firmware with the unplug method, I reflashed instead and got it to stock.
I did some googling and reading. Is it as simple as flashing openwrt bin file first then using download sysupgrade file to tmp then using the sysupgrade command?
