According to TP-Link support the most recent version 2.1 of the TL-WR710N has again 8MB of flash- in contrast to v2.0.
According to https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr710n that version is supported by 15.05. Unfortunately 15.05 and also the latest snapshot just create images for the 4MB Flash.
Would it be sufficient to modify the target/linux/ar71xx/image/Makefile in the Imagebuilder to:
define Device/tl-wr710n-v2
$(Device/tplink-8mlzma)
BOARDNAME := TL-WR710N
DEVICE_PROFILE := TLWR710
TPLINK_HWID := 0x07100002
CONSOLE := ttyATH0,115200
endef
to get a working image, that makes the whole flash available?
make image PROFILE=TLWR710 at least results in a larger image:
8126464 Nov 11 19:26 openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr710n-v2-squashfs-factory.bin
As I recently bricked another device irrevocable I would like to ask the specialists here before applying that image
