Request for TP-Link RE220 v1 images (RE200 v3 clone) by someone with a toolchain

For Developers
#10

This looks like a one on one copy from the RE200 v3 commit you referenced. This list should only include known special IDs. It can then be expanded as needed. What's the one your device has?

@amteza I had to update the safeloader patch to use the conventions master uses. You can find it below. However, we shouldn't be including a list of special IDs we do not know actually exist in the wild. This is a full copy paste from the RE200 v3 and it should not be merged as is.

Okay, but I had to fix it, I think support_trail should not be used, I patched it as follows before your update:

Yes, part_trail, stale cache on my end. Keep in mind only support based on master will be merged (and you'll need to send in the firmware-utils patch separately). So if you want this merged it makes more sense to test on master first.

Patch for device support on master:

Yes, I will do so. Thanks for the format and advice, @Borromini. Let's see how testing goes first.

@jedboy, please see the following:

Folder containing factory, sysupgrade and initramfs files (patched against 22.03.0, for now) - click me to download

Let me know how it goes. After that I will patch master for you to test and issue the PRs.

#15

I have uploaded master images with LuCI based on the patch above here.

@amteza Feel free to run with it. I was mostly curious to see if building on master here would break like you said, but I didn't see any glaring issues.

TP-Link RE220 v1

Yeah, just finishing the build here on my side while I shared 22.03.0 with jedboy and looks fine now.

@amteza, thanks I will test it
@Borromini, yes special_id section copy pasted from RE200v3. How do I check for correct values on a device?

#18

BTW, updated the master versions too in the same folder. I'll wait for your confirmation that both 22.03.0 and master binaries work before preparing PRs.

#19

There is an issue with the 'test build' (the first one you provided, and with the snapshot aka master versions.

When I run RE200v3 image, radio1 shows up in /etc/config/wireless.
When I run the two builds you provided, there is no radio1.

The process I'm using:
Interrupt U-Boot. Hit '4' to get command line.
Configure tftp server on 192.168.0.184 with initramfs image as test.bin
Run commands
tftpboot
bootm 82000000
Once it boots, scp the matching sysupgrade image to /tmp/ then run
sysupgrade -n sysupgradefile.bin

Results look like...

#20

That's weird, can you add manually the other radio to /etc/config/wireless? It would work just fine if RE220v1 is exactly like RE200v3.

Just try adding it manually based in the info you have from RE200v3 image. I'll check once I'm back home.

#21

I think it is not in config because it just isn't there. 'iw list' only shows radio0. I added radio1 to config, enabled it and get 'Phy not found' in system log. Output from 'iw list' for RE200v3 image and RE220v1 image included here:

Okay, thank you. Going to review everything again and maybe build an old image to see if there is any difference. As said, if this is a replica of a RE200v3, it should work.

#23

@jedboy, I uploaded another set of firmware files based on the v21.02.3 official version. Do you mind testing them?

#24

I'll do the testing soon

#25

Looks like the RE220v1 builds are missing some kernel modules (kmod-mt76x*)

Okay, I will look into it tomorrow first thing in the morning

#27

I recompiled the binaries with the following defaults; please, try the master snapshot again. I re-uploaded the files for you. I named the v2 for your reference.

CONFIG_DEFAULT_kmod-mt7603=y
CONFIG_DEFAULT_kmod-mt76x0-common=y
CONFIG_DEFAULT_kmod-mt76x02-common=y

still no radio1
some of the packages showed up on opkg list-installed

but, Still missing kmod-mt76x0e
also, got signature error on 'opkg update'
tried to install ipk file directly, no luck there
