Installation
------------
Using the webcmd interface
--------------------------
Warning: Do not update to the latest Wavlink firmware (version
20201201) as this removes the webcmd console and you will need to
use the serial port instead.
You will need to have built uboot/sqauashfs image for this device,
and you will need to provide an HTTP service where the image can
be downloaded from that is accessible by the device.
You cannot use the device manufacturers firmware upgrade interface
as it rejects the OpenWrt image.
1. Log into the device's admin portal. This is necessary to
authenticate you as a user in order to be able to access the
webcmd interface.
2. Navigate to http://<device-ip>/webcmd.shtml - you can access
the console directly through this page, or you may wish to
launch the installed `telnetd` and use telnet instead.
* Using telnet is recommended since it provides a more
convenient shell interface that the web form.
* Launch telnetd from the form with the command `telnetd`.
* Check the port that telnetd is running on using
`netstat -antp|grep telnetd`, it is likely to be 2323.
* Connect to the target using `telnet`. The username should
be `admin2860`, and the password is your admin password.
3. On the target use `curl` to download the image.
e.g. `curl -L -O http://<some-other-lan-ip>/openwrt-ramips-mt7620-\
wavlink_wl-wn579x3-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin`.
Check the hash using `md5sum`.
4. Use the mtd_write command to flash the image.
* The flash partition should be mtd4, but check
/sys/class/mtd/mtd4/name first. The partition should be
called 'Kernel'.
* To flash use the following command:
`mtd_write -r -e /dev/mtd<n> write <image-file> /dev/mtd<n>`
Where mtd<n> is the Kernel partition, and <image-file> is
the OpenWrt image previously downloaded.
* The command above will erase, flash and then reboot the
device. Once it reboots it will be running OpenWrt.
Connect via ssh to the device at 192.168.1.1 on the LAN port.
The WAN port will be configured via DHCP.
Using the serial port
---------------------
The device uses uboot like many other MT7260a based boards. To
use this interface, you will need to connect to the serial
interface, and provide a TFTP server. At boot follow the
bootloader menu and select option 2 to erase/flash the image.
Provide the address and filename details for the tftp server.
The bootloader will do the rest.
Once the image is flashed, the board will boot into OpenWrt. The
console is available over the serial port.

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.
Sunshine!
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.6+ rsync subversion unzip which
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
maketo build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
Related Repositories
The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of
different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package
manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port
packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
