Support for D-Link COVR-P2500

Hello,
does anyone work on, or succeded, getting a native OpenWRT run on the COVR-P2500 devices?
Best regards,
Michael

D-Link provide two separate firmware images for this device, depending on whether the currently installed version is 1.00 or later. The "Middle Firmware" for devices still running 1.0 looks quite promising:

They usually have standard uboot compatible images with some static signature at the end (at least for version 1.0 of this device, but it can probably be downgraded using recovery).

I don't currently own this device, do you have a bootlog to figure out mtd partitions?

LEDs are working, Wifi looks good for 2.4 and 5Ghz.
I'm still struggling a bit with deriving the MAC adresses for Ethernet and WLAN interfaces.
eth0 gets a random MAC address, WLAN0 2.4Ghz gets an dynamically set form the ART, wrongly.
Added nvram parsing & now it's compiling...

MAC addresses assignments from "nvram"/art are also working... the 9888 was a bit of a pita.
Also, I seperated the PLC interface, switch port 4, into a distinct VLAN to allow proper booting of the PLC controller when more than one of these boxes are powered up the same time.
After successfully booting up, it would be added to the lan bridge.
Also, I will package the native firmware+pib into a distinct 3rd-party package for that...

Hi,
Original software is useless. I would like to turn off the 2.4GHz band but at the moment it is not possible. That's why I keep my fingers crossed for success :slight_smile:

I got the factory image build with the necessary checksums added for an upgrade from fw1.0.0, and almost got the rsa encryption for an upgrade from fw1.0.1 running.

However the sysupgrade procedure of the original firmware backups their configuration, so I ultimately got a 18.06.2's kernel running with the configuration files of the original firmware -> network-wise a dead box.

I cannot prevent the backup configuration on the original firmware, so does anyone know how would I prevent an image taking this information into account after the first boot?

Ok, answering my question, at least a manual workaround for this factory image is getting into the failsave mode by pressing reset button during boot, then login and issue a

umount /overlay; jffs2reset && reboot now

So, question to all: would you prefer a factory image going from 1.0 and a one-off factory image to be used when running original fw 1.0.1 ?
Or the other way round, standard factory image requires a 1.0.1 firmware (so possibly upgrading oem firmware first), and a one-off factory image to start from 1.0 when the step via 1.0.1 is impossible or deemed to much hassle?

For me version 1.0 is OK.
Unfortunately, I can't upgrade my router to version 1.0.1. Probably through hardware version HW:A1.

Ok, at least the image signing and encryption is working for 1.0.1 .

I think I leave the 1.0 as factory, and one can build a 1.0.1 factory from sysupgrade with a little perl script, and I'll prepare one for download.

I'll publish some links to test images in an hour or so...

Please find a factory image for flashing from the 1.0.0 firmware at openwrt-18.06-snapshot-r7704-9ee8c8daf4-ar71xx-generic-covr-p2500-squashfs-factory.bin and for the 1.0.1 firmware at openwrt-18.06-snapshot-r7704-9ee8c8daf4-ar71xx-generic-covr-p2500-squashfs-factory101.bin .

Please note the necessary jffs2reset described earlier or at http://www.netadair.de/openwrt/
