The idea is to make the device (almost!) unbrickable and very easy to recover. - NAND will hold the main loader (U-Boot) and the Linux image and will be the default boot device - NOR will be write-protected by default (with WP jumper available on the board) and will hold a recovery bootloader (and other essential data, like Wi-Fi calibration) - a dedicated boot select switch will allow changing between NOR and NAND ##### What will the M.2 slot be used for? We will use M.2 with M-key for NVMe storage. There is a work-in-progress patch to make PCIe work inside the U-Boot bootloader. This will allow booting other Linux distributions such as Debian and Alpine directly from NVMe. ##### Why is there no USB 3.x host port on the device? The USB 3.x and PCIe buses are shared in the selected SoC silicon, hence only a single High-Speed USB port is available ##### What is the purpose of the console USB-C port? Holtek UART to USB bridge with CDC-ACM support on USB-C makes the device ultra easy to communicate with. No extra hardware or drivers will be required. Android for example has CDC-ACM support enabled by default. ##### What MAC OUI will the device have? We plan to register an OUI block for OpenWrt which can also be used for other vendor extensions such as Wi-Fi beacon IEs. ##### What is the purpose of the mikroBUS connector? mikroBUS was chosen as we wanted to make the hardware extendable. There are dedicated pins for UART, SPI, I2C buses and RST/INT signals. The standard uses regular 2.54 mm pitch connectors (you can use available mikroBUS modules or just connect to it something else, with 2.54 mm jumper cables). ##### Why have the RTC on board instead of a mikroBUS module? We believe there are many things a Wi-Fi (or networking in general) device should have on-board by default. Always having a correct time on the device is crucial in many applications, like VPN, DNSSEC, … # Upgrade Firmware #### Download 選擇適合機型的韌體 - Download1: [https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=24.10.1&target=mediatek%2Ffilogic&id=openwrt\_one](https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=24.10.1&target=mediatek%2Ffilogic&id=openwrt_one) - Download2: [https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/](https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/) #### Using LuCI GUI - Firmware 格式：sysupgrade - Upgrade: LuCI Web → System → Backup / Flash Firmware → Flash new firmware image #### Using CLI - Firmware 格式：sysupgrade - sysupgrade 指令說明：[https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/sysupgrade](https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/sysupgrade) Command ```bash # example downloading the OpenWrt 15.05 upgrade image for a TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND ver. 1.x router cd /tmp wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-15.05-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr1043nd-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin # check the integrity of the image file via md5sums (older images) wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/generic/md5sums md5sum -c md5sums 2> /dev/null | grep OK # check the integrity of the image file via sha256sums wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/generic/sha256sums sha256sum -c sha256sums 2> /dev/null | grep OK # the desired result is that the downloaded firmware filename is listed with "OK" afterwards #################################################### # Initiate sysupgrade with your desired options # by default ( no -n ) settings are kept #################################################### sysupgrade -v /tmp/openwrt-15.05-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr1043nd-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin ``` #### Using USB drive ##### OpenWRT One 1. prepare a FAT32 formatted USB drive that contains the `sysupgrade.itb` file from either the SNAPSHOT or Release repositories 2. remove power 3. insert the USB stick in the Type A USB Port. 4. make sure **NAND boot** switch is selected. 5. press and hold the button on the back side labeled **Reset** 6. power up the device. Release the **Reset** button as soon as all LEDS turn off. 7. wait for the middle LED to go green. The device will boot from NAND and the bootloader will reflash the kernel and root filesystem on the NAND. # Network Hardening #### Solutions - [banIP](https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/banip) - [Fail2Ban](https://github.com/peci1/fail2ban_openwrt/blob/master/README.md) # VPN #### PPTP - [PPTP Server](https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/pptp/server) ##### PPTP in LAN not working LAN 網路的電腦無法連接外網的 PPTP VPN Server 解決：OpenWRT 預設不支援 PPTP 連線，需安裝 `kmod-nf-nathelper-extra`。 ```bash opkg update opkg install kmod-nf-nathelper-extra ``` 重啟設備後，重新再試一次。 #### OpenVPN - [OpenVPN](https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/openvpn/start) # Wireless #### Enable Wi-Fi - [\[OpenWrt Wiki\] Enabling a Wi-Fi access point on OpenWrt](https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-quick-start/basic_wifi) LuCI Web **→** Network **→** Wireless **→** Edit : - General Setup: - Country Code: TW - ESSID: OpenWRT - Wireless Security: - Encryption: WPA2-PSK or WPA3-SAE - Key: <your-wireless-password> - Save - Save & Apply - Enable # Additional Software #### Network Monitor ##### nlbwmon ```bash opkg install luci-app-nlbwmon luci-i18n-nlbwmon-zh-tw ``` ##### Netdata 1.
