Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH 2/2] ar71xx: add support for TP-LINK TL-WR841N/ND v10

After taking some time to think about this. Wouldn't luci tell the user it's running on a 841 v9? This could confuse them because a v9 sysupgrade wouldn't work. sysupgrade fails then. Also an automatic upgrade based on system info wouldn't work either. As long we don't have dts support, I see

No, LuCI uses util.ubus("system", "board"), which doesn't even expose the internal board_name, but only the model name, so it will only see the v10. Automatic upgrade systems should also rely on the model name only, not the board name. The board name is really only an internal identifier.

Hi Matthias, as long you can not flash the exact same image as v9, you have to create a mips machine, but you can use the same setup function as v9. Many parts of openwrt use the mips machine to detect the board, like sysupgrade. Add your machine id to

Thanks, but I know what I'm doing. The hardware is similar enough to boot with the exact same initialization routines as the v9, thus reusing the BOARDNAME is fine (it is done like this for other hardware as well - OpenWrt has a distinction between "board" and "model", where multiple models can

The TL-WR841N/ND v10 is mostly identical to the v9. Apart from some minor changes, it contains a newer revision of the QCA9533 SoC and the CPU clock is significantly higher. Signed-off-by: Matthias Schiffer --- target/linux/ar71xx/image/Makefile | 9 - 1
