Hello all!! I do agree about this idea, but I think there is the general need for more clarity. When adding support for a device, it could be good if the author could elaborate on: - how a device can be recovered: detailing recovery methods and nuances, so the user knows upfront how risky is an operation and prepare with the needed tools in advance - stating what generated images can be used for when it's not obvious: (e.g.: NETGEAR NMRP + tftp) and so on.
The situation changes a lot per device, so elaborating a little bit more may be a good idea. Infact I think I saw some device where you can install OpenWRt only via tftp. Regarding TP-Link: I can confirm that ramips TP-Link TL-MR200 <sarcasm> NICELY </sarcams> overwrites it's u-boot when proceeding with a tftp recovery. TP-Link RE450 doesn't provide for recovery at all: an UART is needed. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
