Hi. Tp Link CPE220 v3 support ?
I think it would be better if you can provide more info about the device, such as internal board pics, SoC, Flash, Ram, bootlogs through serial access (if possible) etc. It helps to identify how can the device be ported/supported in OpenWrt.
No support.

Thank you.
Thank you very much for answer.
Hi,
I've found link configuration CPE220 v3 for aredn firmware
Can somebody help me to add support for openwrt..
I Will try it to my device
Do you have serial access to device? Can you post the OEM boot log?
I don't have that device yet, but there is repost from @abdulaziz.amar on Support for Tp link CPE210 v3.0 topic

Well it seems it may be possible to support this one. Developers here will need more info about the system than just the boot log. Info about the board, cpu, flash/ram, inner pics of the board etc. The log shows qca95xx as wireless chip so it may be supported but I cant say anything for sure. Having the device on hand is better to test it for installation and in case of debricking it.

If GPL code is available then it should be a matter of time that the device will be supported. If device has at least 8/64 configuration it can be supported. Some devs just need to look at the GPL code. @tmomas can you please provide some info on the next steps?
Edit: @dhmyess You should probably look at https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/adding_new_device for more info. Any developer would need the above mentioned info for this router.
Thanks for your direction i will try to learn step by step

Hi, i've success compiling and testing snapshot version of openwrt using config from aredn that i've share before, but when i try tu upgrade from factory to sysupgrade it show error The uploaded image file does not contain a supported format. i don't know why it can't be upgraded
Do you mean you tested a successful flash and successfully booted the device with OpenWrt?
Are there two firmware files for the flashing process? Factory and Sysupgrade? Are you able to flash factory version of OpenWrt successfully? Or does it not flash anyone?
Yes, i've successfully test and its booted and running
I believe this image is available also from OpenWrt downloads. So I guess the support has been added.
Potentially as far back as 2014

I looked for it, but could not find it ... Do you know where I have to look for it?
@dhmyess Thank you! FW worked perfectly fine on my CPE220v3. Do you plan to integrate it in one of the next OpenWRT releases?
No, I've success try the snapshot version but when i try to compile again to version 18.06.2 it fail to boot
