Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] Has OpenWrt suport for Powerline devices
Hi, I've a device with PowerLine. It's the devolo dLAN pro 500 wireless plus. It has an ath9k compatible WiFi (2.4GHz + 5GHz), and a free software bootloader, which is an old vendor fork of u-boot. The PowerLine part doesn't work out of the box and require a nonfree, non-redistributable firmware to work, however there is some documentation on it on the wiki[1]. A really good way to fix that, and integrate everything would be to have people working on free software replacements for such nonfree firmwares, however I've no idea if anyone has started working on that yet. There is also a tag called 'plc' (Power line communication[3]) on the wiki for device with PowerLine. References: --- [1]https://openwrt.org/toh/devolo/devolo_dlan_pro_wireless_500_plus [2]https://openwrt.org/tag/plc?do=showtag=plc [3]Note that the PLC acronym is also commonly used for "Programmable logic controller" which has nothing to do at all with PowerLine.

Only supported device is *https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/tp-link/tp-link_tl-wpa8630* and it communicates to the QCA7500 powerline chip with plctool from open-plc-utils package, see the docs for that https://github.com/qca/open-plc-utils/blob/master/plc/plctool.1 ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel

The sender domain has a DMARC Reject/Quarantine policy which disallows sending mailing list messages using the original "From" header. To mitigate this problem, the original message has been wrapped automatically by the mailing list software.--- Begin Message --- The Powerline system needs a "Lan name" in order to synchronize teh devices.
