From: Rafał Miłecki <ra...@milecki.pl> LEDE supports 6 devices using TP-Link firmware format (V2 or V3): ArcherC20i, ArcherC50, ArcherMR200, TDW8970, TDW8980 and VR200v.
Testing mktplinkfw2 tool with official (vendor generated) firmware files for all above devices has shown an error when comparing calculated and included MD5 sum, e.g.: > mktplinkfw2 -i > Archer_C20iv1_0.9.1_3.2_up_boot\(170221\)_2017-02-21_17.14.03.bin | grep -A 1 > MD5Sum1 Header MD5Sum1 : 22 5a cb 92 10 d2 95 7b df 62 9a f8 62 17 37 10 (*ERROR*) --> expected : ad 19 11 d1 78 98 a7 42 5f 2e 64 da 8a 34 ec cb This problem has been verified to occur with: Archer_C20iv1_0.9.1_3.2_up_boot(170221)_2017-02-21_17.14.03.bin Archer_C50v3_EU_0.9.1_0.3_up_boot[170417-rel52298].bin Archer MR200v1_0.9.1_1.1_up_boot_v004a.0 Build 160905 Rel.60037n.bin TD-W8970v3_0.9.1_2.0_up_boot(160816)_2016-08-16_10.40.57.bin TD-W8980v1_0.6.0_1.8_up_boot(150514)_2015-05-14_11.16.43.bin Archer_VR200vv2_0.2.0_0.8.0_up_boot(161202)_2016-12-05_14.39.06.bin It's most likely that MD5 salt used in mktplinkfw2 has been always wrong (and it's not a matter of e.g. a vendor change). Update it to fix MD5 calculation. One problem that remains is zero MD5 sum calculated for: Archer_C50v3_EU_0.9.1_0.3_up_boot[170417-rel52298].bin Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <ra...@milecki.pl> --- tools/firmware-utils/src/mktplinkfw2.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/firmware-utils/src/mktplinkfw2.c b/tools/firmware-utils/src/mktplinkfw2.c index cfedf81d3b..ae7c6b7875 100644 --- a/tools/firmware-utils/src/mktplinkfw2.c +++ b/tools/firmware-utils/src/mktplinkfw2.c @@ -153,8 +153,8 @@ char md5salt_normal[MD5SUM_LEN] = { }; char md5salt_boot[MD5SUM_LEN] = { - 0x8c, 0xef, 0x33, 0x5b, 0xd5, 0xc5, 0xce, 0xfa, - 0xa7, 0x9c, 0x28, 0xda, 0xb2, 0xe9, 0x0f, 0x42, + 0x8c, 0xef, 0x33, 0x5f, 0xd5, 0xc5, 0xce, 0xfa, + 0xac, 0x9c, 0x28, 0xda, 0xb2, 0xe9, 0x0f, 0x42, }; static struct flash_layout layouts[] = { -- 2.11.0 _______________________________________________ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
