How to upgrade TPLINK TL-MR3020 firmware to technobit openwrt

[Zich]

The following guide use openwrt image compiled by technobit team for their line of product.



Disclaimer

1. Use same power source that your miner use to avoid problem.
2. Upgrade firmware if critical operation that need more concern. Do it on your own risk.
3. Do not use wifi connection to do the upgrade, use ethernet cable.
4. Do not power off the unit while upgrade the firmware & or close the browser tab.
5. Do not close your browser while the system applying setting after you click save & apply.
6. I am not responsible for any problem cause by the upgrade.
7. Feel free to PM me if you need more information.

Unofficial Firmware

1. By 2GOOD 0.3beta
    Feature: Wifi enable, Failsafe working



#1

The default ip of TL-MR3020 is 192.168.0.254. So you need to set you PC ip address to prefix 192.168.0.xx.
No need to set gateway.





#2

Connect TL-MR3020 to PC using ethernet cable.
Then type 192.168.0.254 on your web browser, fill the username & password(both is admin).





#3

Go to System Tools - Firmware Upgrade then choose image downloade from technobit. Use factory.bin file
Click upgrade & let the process finish, the unit will auto reboot. Yoa can see the LED off then on again.





#4

The new default ip after upgrade is 192.168.0.99.
Now open new tab & type 192.168.0.99 then login





#5

Now go to System to set timezone, do not enable ntp client. Save & apply.





#6

Go to System - Administration to set password & enable ssh. Save & apply.
 




#7

Go to Network - Interfaces to set new ip address if you need. Click edit then change the value. Please use static address. Save & apply.







#8

Now you can re access the TL-MR3020 on your new ip address.
Go to Status - Cgminer Configuration to set pool & miner.

All miner setting(voltage, chips, frequency etc) must be fill & can not left blank , Cgminer won't start. Save & apply.





#9

To upgrade / downgrade current firmware to any openwrt image, go to System - Backup / Flash Firmware

Choose keep setting if you want to use same setting like network & cgminer then use sysupgrade.bin.
Do not keep setting if you want to use factory.bin.
Then hit Flash image.., then Proceed

Do not closed your browser until router restart !!!



If you choose to use sysupgrade.bin, after whole process finish & router restart, ssh to the router & run command:

Code:

/usr/bin/fix_rc

This will disable unnecessary process that not needed.


Bonus

To access cgminer screen, you can use ssh client on your PC.




Then fill username as root & use your password




Then type screen -r






To exit screen without killing cgminer, use ctrl a - d

Great guide Zich.
Thank you for doing this that is our job 

[Zich]

  No problem

Damn that's some good instructions!

Thanks again for posting!

I found that running on a D-Link DIR-505 to be a bit more stable since it has twice the ram and twice the flash of the MR3020.  It's also half the price (at least when I bought it on sale).  I'm also running over wifi, which Technobit disabled on their firmware image.

I copied over the cgminer binary from an MR3020 and did an opkg install of screen, libcurl, librt and udev and set up some scripts to automatically run cgminer on boot.

Could You give some more detailed information about setting up DIR-505?
It sounds interesting alternative to MR-3020.
But with restricted linux experience I would like to have more information

This week I bought one MR3020 and flashed it with the technobit firmware (openwrt). Everything worked fine until the switch of the lan interface to dhcp.

The MR3020 started, but no connection was possible. Trying to switch the MR3020 into failsafe mode failed - neither by pressing the WPS button or by change the position of the sidemounted switch. So I bought a CP2102 and followed this guide (no additional resistor was needed).
Afterwards the MR3020 worked again, but this morning the usb psu was defect and I had to use one of my phone usb charges. In the end, I am starting to hate the MR3020.

Actually, if you had another router, you can check the DHCP client list or statistic to find the ip address.

For the power supply, i use 5V from same PSU that powered the miner

Looked into other router and also configured dhcp server on my linux machine. The MR3020 did not want to connect to anything. Even nmap could not find it.
Alas, as the serial console worked, the problem was obvious. It was configured to use a static ip, but no ip was provided. Hence, I totally bricked it.

Ouch, so dangerous. So lucky you can un bricked the TL-MR3020 

Guys, with gusto88 experience, please be careful while applying setting

The 3020 has a recovery mode: http://wiki.villagetelco.org/OpenWrt_Failsafe_Mode_and_Flash_Recovery

Tried this, too. It was actually the first thing I looked up. With continuous ping I could see a time frame <1s where the MR3020 answered on 192.168.1.1. Afterwards ping stopped working again.

[2GOOD]

Great tutorial Zich,
Congrats for the good work.



@gusto88

Failsafe Mode
Set your computer's IP to 192.168.1.2, subnet 255.255.255.0
Connect the TL-MR3020 to your computer via ethernet
Power on the TL-MR3020
When the WPS button starts to blink:
on AA (Attitude Adjustment / 12.09) push the WPS button;
on BB (Breaking Barrier / trunk) move the sliding switch quickly from one side to the other.
Do this until the WPS button starts blinking faster.
The device is now in Failsafe-Mode
You may access it by using telnet 192.168.1.1
Info on resetting to OpenWrt defaults can be found at: generic.failsafe

Interesting! Will the technobit OpenWRT image with cgminer also work for ASIC products from other manufacturers like BFL, HF, etc?

There is also quite a nice hardware mod - but obviously involves opening up your 3020... There is a position on the PCB labelled up as a resistor (R113) - located next to the micro USB power connector... Solder a link across this and your MR3020 will happily take its 5 volts from the normal USB connector (normally 5v output only) - which is great because the Technobit boards happily supply 5v down the USB connection (or from USB hub)... Thus effectively powering the 3020 from the supply feeding your miners whilst cutting out the need to run an extra cable just to power the 3020.

Hi, i have just bought one ASIC Miner HEX16A2 - Technobit. It seems that the simplest way to run it would be using MR3020 with upgraded firmware. Wich are the differences between factory and sysupgrade firmware?

Thanks in advance Luca

Factory is for upgrading from stock TP-link firmware, while sysupgrade is for upgrading from previous version of OpenWRT/Technobit.

Thanks a lot   New questions soon

0.2.2 Maintenance release http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/505202/0-2-2-rar.html
* cgminer patch to cgminer 4.0.0 rev 2786526d9f1acb7bd903ece3c822c2c9203aa0b7.patch - various code cleanup and optimization needs to be done
* cgminer disable LOCK_TRACKING and reduce CPU load
* cgminer make screen look nicer again
* cgminer screen  added pool reject ratio%. Note on startup or cgminer restarts due to internal usb buffer most of the old jobs are rejected which increases reject ratio. Just do not pay attention to it as long as it will level down
* openwrt updated to r39751

i cant seem to find any of the files, the BIN file for the tplink firmware change, i have a hex8a1.

also once done , will i still need a pc to connect to the hex8 or will it run off the tplink?

TL-MR3020 will act as "PC" than run cgminer & it's run independent ofc. But you will need PC only for change configuration & monitor.

What do you mean can't find any files 

[zulover]

the BIN factory file you have in the screen shot when you flash the firmware, cant find it on the technobit page. or is it one of the thos cgminer links you have listed, sorry dumb questions i know.

so basicly with the tplink it works like a avalon or antminer, thats great. now to get it files and get it going it going.

Ok thats great. Also how will the cables connect up:is it lan cable from tplink to my router then a usb from the tplink to the micro usb on the hex8 and power for tplink from its plug adaptor.

thsnks once again.

Yes, but consider to buy powered usb hub 

[zulover]

powered usb for what?

[Zich]

powered usb for what?

If you had many HEX board 

[zulover]

ok i see , yes that would be better, only have 1 hex8 at the moment.

well done! all is up and running and i truly will say the easiest setup ive had for a long time.

thanks for your help.

I've installed screen to use with this so I can ssh in and see the familiar CLI for cgminer, does anyone have an idea of how to configure OpenWrt so that cgminer boots with a reattachable screen?

[Gator-hex]

Screen is already installed. You just type "screen -r" after you SSH in, when your done just close putty.

[Zich]

As Gator said, screen already installed, cgminer even already configured to run under screen. I am not sure what exactly happen on yours.
Ofc wrong command will kill the screen.
After login to TL-MR3020, you can use command screen -r to enter cgminer cli.
To exit type ctrl-a + d.
To check how many screen currently available use command screen -ls

[DocGonzzo]

Yeah working fine now... thanks. I seem to be missing the cgminer status menu that OP had in his photos, and I do have on my Ant S1. Was that something you added or did I piss off the OpenWRT Gods this week

Ahh sorry about cgminer status on the screenshot 
Officially that's was unavailable, i just trying to play with code. The page appear but not working, all the value not available 

[DocGonzzo]

Bummer, the Antminer has a pretty sweet little tab there which is why I thought i was missing something.

Thank you for this guide, previously I had only been able to run these with an RPi, which I can now free up for other projects (Like the new Gridseeds)

Hey, so let me know if I am beating a dead horse here, but I stumbled across this and I was wondering if it would be possible to patch this cgminer status script into the technobit distro of OpenWrt. If it is a hassle or just impossible then no worries, but it looks like it is either a precursor or a downright copy of what the S1 uses. Lemme know what you think

Good luck

Has anyone tried running one of these TP link routers using a Mac ? I just bought a Hexminer 16C off ebay am running Virtual Box and have windows 7 on one and ubuntu running on the other have tried downloading the files and installing on both operating systems, windows opens but I can't seem to get anywhere with it.

Ubuntu on the other hand I can download files but after unpacking can't get them to run. so Since my machine is really a Macbook pro  am hoping one of these Routers will solve my problem,  if not I'm at a loss as to how to get this up and running I no longer have a windows machine. was running 6 block erupters on windows using cgminer  and ran a nanofury on bfgminer but now sold the nano and moved the block erupters (333mhs) onto the mac using asteriod. sure wish there was such an easy way to run the hexminer, because its a great price for the hash rate. any input would be welcome.

am I correct ? if answer is yes i buy one this week if no I might be back to square one.

Second question is if this works how many of these miners can run on 1 TP Link and still work correctly ? ( without extra hardware errors)

Yes, i understand your question. So TL-MR3020 will act as host like PC. You only need to replace original firmware with firmware from technobit. Configure IP, pool then connect the miner using powered usb hub to USB port on TL-MR3020, connect network cable to LAN port. Wireless is disable. Configure done using web interfaces.

I don't know for sure maximum board can connected but up to 7 HEX16C will be fine

[scarlott57@bellsouth.net]

Thanks I thought I understood you correctly but when some people say PC their restricting the talk to windows. and thanks for the info up to 7 it will be a long time before I can afford that many .


And by the way great info thanks for putting  this up not all of us understand programing and info is limited on some of the pools since the people you help might be competing for the same bitcoins, I have a different view and that is if you help people they might stick around in the same pool and add to your hashing power.   Thanks for the help.

I would just buy the Router from Technobit but it's a pain getting stuff from Europe delivered here and the Government like to tax every import like it's worth the same as a TV or more even so I will buy one off of EBAY they seem to sale a lot of them and give it a  shot the process seems pretty straight forward.

one more question for anyone to answer--- is putty part of the software package in WRT or Technobit?  I only ask because I've never heard of it till I started doing the Bitcoin thing and I'm not sure if that's even the program to use on a mac or if I should be running an equivalent mac program.

Thanks again for all the info.

I thought the OP is clear enough to do the firmware upgrade yourself. But it's up to you in the end  
Putty is ssh client that can run in windows. You can use any ssh client you like, there is many out there. You can use putty to see cgminer status windows. On mac you can use built-in application called Terminal.

[scarlott57@bellsouth.net]

OK I was Thinking Terminal was the way I might end up going unless there is a Nice GUI that I could use on the Mac.
I'll do a little research and see what I can come up with I can get By in Terminal but prefer a GUI. 

Thanks for all the input.

I made a mistake and got the TP Link 702N. How do I update it instead if the. 3020?

I tried using 3020 bin file, but it wouldn't accept it.

Compiling openwrt binary is out of my leaque 
Some posting about copying cgminer binary from TL-MR3020 but i am not sure which file need to copy.

OK I got the 3020 got it flashed and updated, got IP set and after remembering to plug the miner into 3020 instead of powered hub I seem to be getting somewhere, got my pool configured. lights blinking indicating data transfer but can't really tell if its working as BTCGuid charts have long refresh times is there anyway to use this interface to tell or must I use Terminal? I'm not great in command Line so If I can stay out of it that would be nice.

You can check cgminer-api log page to see your board status or you can use ssh client to open cgminer status windows.

found the log and was doing something wrong because I was getting the socket connection refused message
went into some of the advanced settings and found I was not connecting properly think I may have it now.

By the way Flashing the router was the easy part

[scarlott57@bellsouth.net]

thought I had this figured out and maybe I do,  because my work with my other rig is not showing on other end tonight. but as of right now i have some kind of error since the readout for all 16 chips is the same showing no dupes for some reason all nonce counts are at zero I'm going to restart everything and see if it doesn't clear up. if not I will come back tomorrow and seek help. I found out why counts were zero somehow i turned off power supply seems to be working for now.

[scarlott57@bellsouth.net]

Interesting! Will the technobit OpenWRT image with cgminer also work for ASIC products from other manufacturers like BFL, HF, etc?

loshia told me that other driver won't work 

It might if you went into settings and turned off every app except network (don't) as turning that off will kill access to router also I would leave cgminer on, but most of the rest is a translation program (this is why it takes Hexminer in Windows to translate into something cgminer can understand)  I don't know if it would work even then but there is a setting under system properties where you can switch the design setting from openwrt to bootstrap I don't know anything about bootstrap but someone else here might be able to tell you is you could use it for BFL ETC under bootstrap. 

[Remember remember the 5th of November]

Technobit devices are now supported on cgminer 4.0.0 on Windows. The reason it didn't work stemmed from a GCC extension feature which was broken under Windows. Took me a couple of days to figure out the problem and I reported to marto74 along with binaries.

The only device that needed further patching to be detected under Windows was their very first device, the HEX16A1(the only available one I had for testing).

I could provide binaries, but you don't know me so instead I link to 2GOOD's post with the binaries https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=476970.msg5903836#msg5903836 but note that those binaries will work with devices >HEX16A1 since it doesn't feature my HEX16A1 patch.

I found out why counts were zero somehow i turned off power supply seems to be working for now.

OK I figured out two or three mistakes that seem to be easy to make,  

1. make sure if things aren't working right that all power switches are in correct position. including hubs

2. after any change in cgminer settings overclocking or other pool settings etc.  reboot the router otherwise it will just show an error message in api logs

3. after configuring route check all IP settings as some don't always get updated automatically. (one I had to go change was found here) Under the overview tab
at bottom of page  in network there is a BR-LAN link I had to go in and reset these.  hope this helps anyone setting one of these up that is almost there but can't quite make it work.

I'm very limited in computer skills such as using the command line, and while this was a little tricky for me to figure out persistence pays off. if you have any level of knowledge of networking etc this should be a doable for you. now that I managed to get 1 up and running I will be ordering a few more since I have it figured out now, if I have this right I should be able to
1 unplug USB
2 plug USB powered hub into tp link then plug my miners into hub and they shoul all be up and running on their own pretty quick after a reboot.

Bugfix release:

Complete list of release can be found on OP  

[scarlott57@bellsouth.net]

Great now if I could just get back into the router to do an update. the 0320 was working great and then for  what ever reason ( internet went down on my end over 2 hrs) auto refresh is on so I guess it keeps trying to hook back up to pool. but Now it's not hashing and I cannot get into Router Via GUI.  It shows on my home network under the assigned I.P. address but  when I try to log in  get no response. I have also tried a direct e cable between Mac and 3020 with address in right group anyone have any Ideas ? tried after all this to go into flash recovery mode and using the correct address but no luck there either.

[scarlott57@bellsouth.net]

There is also quite a nice hardware mod - but obviously involves opening up your 3020... There is a position on the PCB labelled up as a resistor (R113) - located next to the micro USB power connector... Solder a link across this and your MR3020 will happily take its 5 volts from the normal USB connector (normally 5v output only) - which is great because the Technobit boards happily supply 5v down the USB connection (or from USB hub)... Thus effectively powering the 3020 from the supply feeding your miners whilst cutting out the need to run an extra cable just to power the 3020.

One extra cable gone.
Thanks melb 

if I'm understanding this correctly you are saying to solder across the two terminals of R113 in effect bypassing the resister ? is that correct?

[scarlott57@bellsouth.net]

As a side note or question are all of these small tp link Routers supported if so does anyone have a list of one's that would work without haveing to change the tecnobit downloads  Thanks.

the reason I ask is I may have bricked this 3020 and If I can use a different model TL router that I may find locally instead of waiting a week to receive one in the Mail. Thanks.

The firmware write specifically for TL-MR3020 only. I was curious what exactly happen on your's since there is no change that the router brick after network problem.

But you can try this:

Failsafe Mode
Set your computer's IP to 192.168.1.2, subnet 255.255.255.0
Connect the TL-MR3020 to your computer via ethernet
Power on the TL-MR3020
When the WPS button starts to blink:
on AA (Attitude Adjustment / 12.09) push the WPS button;
on BB (Breaking Barrier / trunk) move the sliding switch quickly from one side to the other.
Do this until the WPS button starts blinking faster.
The device is now in Failsafe-Mode
You may access it by using telnet 192.168.1.1
Info on resetting to OpenWrt defaults can be found at: generic.failsafe

[scarlott57@bellsouth.net]

Thanks Zich already tried all that.

[scarlott57@bellsouth.net]

Don't know where I saw it but someone posted instructions with pin markings on how to use a USB to UART to access the router. if someone could point me there I would be grateful.

* openwrt – some compile optimizations for speed which increased image size a bit
* openwrt – dhcp client added finally:)
* openwrt updated to r40449

[WiWi]

lol, ok.

I did an upgrade to 4.2.2. yesterday, i'll do another one
Thx for info

* cgminer bug fixes:HEXa frequent HEXa usb disconnects, fast work queue restart and so on

Having frequent hexa disconnects indeed, was already wondering why

Another question: having also a HEXc, it does run at 20 GHs when using 1500/1100 mv, but when using 1600/1160 it does run aprox 23.3 GHs, is this normal behaviour?
with 1500/1100 3 chips are not really doing fine (staying behind, can see this in tplink router log), but when using 1600/1160 they hardly stay behind.

I guess chip number 3 is dead. If you run 1600/1160 for more long period, i bet that chip 3 will stop working.

I am also had 1 dead chip. I already try many higher setting but that's only work for short period.

[WiWi]

mm, i'll see what wil happen.
hope it wil not die

[Chip12 Nonces] => 5070
   [Chip12 Dupes] => 326
   [Chip13 Nonces] => 21445
   [Chip13 Dupes] => 75

Looks like u are right

[Zich]

mm, i'll see what wil happen.

Yeah, maybe you will be more lucky  
Anyway my HEX16C going to retired in next difficulty change.
I will strip the heatsink & FAN then attach to HEX8A

just upgraded the router to 0.3.2 as you showed it is newest version.
But after upgrade i see this

[Firmware Version] => 20140329
cgminer: 4_1_0_5ed45a0
Socket connect failed: Connection refused

What happend? Should i upgrade again? not with upgrade file but with factory file?


mm, they are not absolete for me, managing to buy used ones for 30 euros or less, so i am starting to stack them now

You need to fill in Hex3A3 Chip Count (Default: 16), Hex3A3 Chip Frequency (Default: 7000), Hex3A3 Chip Core Voltage mV (Default: 750), Hex3A3 Enable or Disable Chips (Default: 255) with their default value which is blank right now

Or upgrade without keeping settings 
defaults are inside image. However if you do upgrade wile keeping settings do as zich suggested.

In general after each upgrade while keeping stings check the cgminer web and make sure there are no blanks there for all HEX* stuff

[WiWi]

ok, clear answer.
But i see now i was not very clear with my question.
The dump of log came from router not being connected with a miner, so my question was about the cgminer version only
Sorry about me being not very clear.

Ok, i did an upgrade: same version of cgminer
did an full upgrade (factory version of .bin file), same result.
Both without keeping the settings.

Hex3A3 Chip Count

Cant find these settings, only HEX8A1 i can find and of course A,B and C  version

Wondering why i dont get cgminer version 4.2.3

[loshia]

ok, clear answer.

Do not worry
it is just a stupid txt file located in file system
/etc/hexminer_version or something
techno bit guy's probably forgot to update it also during build
just look what screen tells you dude. That is always correct
if there were HEX3 options inside the web you are golden...

[WiWi]

ok, then something did go wrong. Cause what ever i try. The HexA3 option is not there.

[Zich]

Then you must be flash using wrong image. Here is the link: http://technobit.eu/0_3_2.rar

[WiWi]

well i used your link. Download looks like previous one and same result    
Did an factory upgrade without keeping settings.
Same with the upgrade file. Even extra reboot does not solve it

Really dont know why i dont get the a3 option

Hostname   HEX16A
Model   TP-Link TL-MR3020 v1
Firmware Version    OpenWrt Barrier Breaker r40296 / LuCI Trunk (svn-r9963)
Kernel Version   3.10.34


Finally solved it.

Went back to old image v 0.1.3 and then back again to this one. now i got the a3 option

First time i did the update was with upgrade bin file. now i did use only the factory bin files.

Is your ie cashing too much
Usually the upgrade happens from the first try or shit happens and router became a brick
But in your case it was the browser

[WiWi]

using chrome

Thx for the help

Was already expecting problems like this, so i've got two routers.
one for actual using and a spare 1 for upgrade.
This buys me time to upgrade

I may have missed this, but how do you update the tplink after switching to the technobit OpenWRT?

[Zich]

I may have missed this, but how do you update the tplink after switching to the technobit OpenWRT?

Go to SYSTEM - BACKUP / FLASH FIRMWARE
Choose keep setting so your various setting like IP & cgminer will be keep.



Then hit Flash image.., then Proceed


Do not closed your browser until router restart !!!
 
When all process done, ssh to the router & run command:

Code:

/usr/bin/fix_rc

PS: OP updated 

[ZBC3]

Thank you!

[ZBC3]

Router restarted, command typed, but I'm not getting any hashing.

Go to cgminer configuration page & fill in HEX3 setting value to their default. All HEX setting can not be leave blank

Hi meetniq,

I would love to help you created image for 703 if i can, but unfortunately that out of my leaque. I am also linux noob  

But, maybe i had some solution if you like to try.
Go to /usr/bin
You will find cgminer & cgminer-api

Replaced it with this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3ipj79f4rajvrke/cgminer
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bugrv7ukp0fiddv/cgminer-api

You can use wget command

Code:

root@Miner01:/usr/bin#wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/3ipj79f4rajvrke/cgminer

The firmware you downloaded from http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/avalon/20140329/ is original cgminer which had no support for technobit board(except nanofury).

[scarlott57@bellsouth.net]

turned out this router was bad from the factory managed to get in once and reinstall factory firmware had a replacement sent works great.

Dear Zich,
thank you for your answer, i figured out my solution, it seems MR3020 is the same router as WR703N, so what i did was to flash MR3020 original firmware and then technbit firmware is working great.

But, the devices only work on hot plug, maybe because i have 2x 7ghs and 2 x 24ghs, what is weird is that u say hotplug is deactivated from the start.

Hi meetniq,

I glad you find the way, though i am surprises that it work on 703.
I am also had HEX16A & HEX16C on 3020 but never had to hot plug. I guess this is due to firmware make for 3020 not 703

Thanks for your help

Put a hub between tplink and board
Udev errors are harmless
And check if your board has 12 v power also
And paste Lsusb output pls

I would like to return one on my TP-Link MR3020 back to it's original software, so it can act as a wifi point for the other one mining, anyone got a guide?

I found this on the internet.. http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-mr3020#restoring.original.firmware

but the link to the stripped boot file http://q.gs/6giYF is dead.

Anyone got a copy of this file? or... I guess I'm most stuck on how to transfer the file from the web to the /tmp directory to strip it from there with..

Code:

dd if=orig.bin of=tplink.bin skip=257 bs=512

there seems to be no FTP or SFTP?

Thanks.

UPDATE: SOLVED IT!

Ok here's my step by step guide to restoring the TP-Link MR3020 to factory state..

Download PuTTY http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
Download WinSCP http://winscp.net/download/winscp553.zip
Download the TP-Link firmware from http://www.tplink.com/en/support/download/?model=TL-MR3020&version=V1
Rename the firmware file "orig.bin".
Use WinSCP to copy the file to the TP-Link and drag it into the /etc directory (don't forget to select SCP protocol when logging in or it fails)
Use PuTTY to SSH into your TP-Link running OpenWRT and then type:

Code:

cd /tmp
dd if=orig.bin of=tplink.bin skip=257 bs=512
sysupgrade /tmp/tplink.bin

Give it a few minutes to install and reboot.
When it's done you should find it on 192.168.0.254 (admin/admin) running the official TP-Link software again.
Yay!

NOW... HOW TO GIVE YOUR TP-LINK MINER WIFI USING A SECOND TP-LINK

Sadly WIFI is disabled in Technobits OpenWRT GCMiner firmware to free up more memory, but you can fix this by using a second TP-Link!

Flick the switch on the side of a standard TP-Link, to the WISP setting.
Connect it to your PC via the network cable.
Log into it through a web browser 192.168.0.254 admin/admin
(If you already have a router on this IP you might need to turn Wifi off on the laptop)
Click "Quick Setup"
then "Next"
then "Dynamic IP" *
then "YES, I need to clone MAC address"
then select your wifi router and enter the security details (click Survey if no WIFI router list shown)
Reboot and it's done!
Unplug from the PC and connect the network cable to your TP-Link Miner and you now have a miner you can locate anywhere in your home!

* DHCP client in Technobit v0.3.2. If you're using static IP instead on an older version you will need to change IP manually. I'm pretty sure it creates a second subnet and bridges it over WIFI something like this... (Notice how the home network was 192.168.0.x but the miner is now on 192.168.1.x)

[Zich]

I had more easy way(just test it this morning  )

1. Connect TL-MR3020 using utp to your pc, set your pc ip to static.
2. switch tl-mr3020 switch to WISP(I don't know why)
3. Download original image from tplink http://www.tp-link.com/Resources/software/TL-MR3020_V1.00_120817.zip
    This one without boot so no need to strip.
4. Login to TL-MR3020 using luci, go to System - Backup / Flash Firmware, uncheck keep setting & browse for the image then process.
5. Let it finish & restart automatically, then login to 192.168.0.254

Welcome dude  
Are you punishing your self with that dhcp crap
I hate you

[madsusies]

No I just love tutorials like this "Please use static address. Save & apply."

[Zich]

No I just love tutorials like this "Please use static address. Save & apply."

LOL, so you said it's my fault  

Static is preferred so you had "FIX" address every time you need to access it. Of course if you are experience user, you can tell router to give specific address to specific host.

Then if static address not working, it's not the "static address" fault but the user who set it at fault.
Ask all user here who had problem with static address.



All of linux small box like TL-MR3020 & Rpi didn't like DNS sever from ISP. That's why many user add additional DNS server from free provider like google ( 8.8.8.8 )

[loshia]

No I just love tutorials like this "Please use static address. Save & apply."

I am a newbie, I've tried openwrt tplink Mr3020 and the results are going well, but I did stop on the lan interface, and now I can not connect with tplink MR3020, so how I can connect back with tplink mr3020?

please help

Not sure if you mean it's on another IP address or you've bricked it by disabling the LAN interface so here's both solutions.

If it's Technobit's firmware and assuming DHCP is off you should find it on 192.168.0.99
Set you computer wired network interface IP to 192.168.0.100 attach network cable and type 192.168.0.99 into a web browser to see it.

How to recover a bricked OpenWRT...

http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.failsafe

..and if that don't work, it's time to add a serial port!

Thank you so much, TL MR3020 router I've run yesterday, then I have problems again .. I can not enter setup, because I have to change settings become wan lan, I have tried to install and unplug lan cable and power supply but still not managed to get openwrt. .
I have tried to ping the IP Address and successful but when I tried to get in openwrt, I could not connect, whether it is the effect of changes lan wan interface to that?
Can I restore into a lan wan interface?
I asked for help to change it, because I've tried all night to this day still does not successfully connect openwrt ..

I change the lan interface in this section

Try this step:

Set your computer's IP to 192.168.1.2, subnet 255.255.255.0
Connect the TL-MR3020 to your computer via ethernet
Power on the TL-MR3020
When the WPS button starts to blink:
on BB (Breaking Barrier / trunk) move the sliding switch quickly from one side to the other.
Do this until the WPS button starts blinking faster.
The device is now in Failsafe-Mode
You may access it by using telnet 192.168.1.1
Info on resetting to OpenWrt defaults can be found at: generic.failsafe

If still fail to login, then you need to use serial console.
You will need to make serial adapter using CA42 & open your TL-MR3020 then add some pin on P1.

Hello I'm new here and have a question. I am interested very much for this box. I have RipeNcc get a few of these samples and still have a choice.

 I would like to flash to openwrt. I only have the problem that I can not logging in the Web Interface or via Telnet.

It seems that it will be locked?. If the only options via serial adapter to flash?

Excuse me for my bad english

If you can not log into web interfaces after following the step on OP, maybe your unit is bricked. Then the only way is using serial console.

 Thank you so much Zich for the link in the other thread. I am more confused now then before. If I am reading this right, I need this device and then a 48 port switch to connect the 50 boards to as well? Or do I need more than 1 tp link to do that many boards?

You need 5 tplinks and 5 10 port USB hubs
That is what I would do.
What power supplies  are  you going to use?

[sorehammer]

Will a new settings image for the mininon settings be possible soon.

These are a little bit more than 400.
120 GHs per chip is heavy overclocked mode .
I would run them @ 100

Most probably no...

[Scrappy Do]

 Ok, so to confirm.. I can run the 5 tp-links all off the same switch. I do not need a separate switch for each 10 boards correct?

[loshia]

Ok, so to confirm.. I can run the 5 tp-links all off the same switch. I do not need a separate switch for each 10 boards correct?

Wrong you need 5 separate switches or USB hubs for each tplink. However you can use one LAN switch to connect Ethernet cables

 Ok, let's see if I am getting it now...

So i have 50 boards, split that into 10 segments. So with that said I have 10 boards, those 10 boards will all connect to a PSU for power. Then the 10 will go to a 10 port USB Hub connected to a TP-Link. The tplink and all boards can then be hooked up by ethernet to a large switch. Basically all 50 boards, and all tplinks go directly to a switch. Is this correct? Perhaps if Marto or someone else posted a definitive guide. I have a ton of stuff to order.

That is correct except segment count 10 segments with 10 boards each equals 100 boards
What psu are yo going to use?
As I said you need 1000w for each two boards or so..

[Zich]

OFC you will need PSU to powered the miner 

[sorehammer]

You can't ask for a clearer diagram cheers

[Scrappy Do]

 Thank you Zich! The one thing I was not getting is the boards do not need an ethernet connection. Thats what was throwing me off. Basically I only need 5 extra ports on my existing switch which is a 48 port so I don't need any switchs at all. Correct?

 I am starting to see what the tplink actually does. (I think)

 Marto said he is making a guide as well but this diagram helped tremendously.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=637595.msg7769550#msg7769550

 I am adding the 240v connections. I just need to figure out how many circuits and what amperage each. Anyone have any recommendations on this? basically 25-26k watts.

[sorehammer]

So how do we get the tp-link to run of the same power supply as the miner.

[loshia]

So how do we get the tp-link to run of the same power supply as the miner.

Get 5V from PSU Molex to power USb HUB. Then both USB cables from tplink should be connected to that HUB
BTW what boards and how many do you plan to connect to a single tplink?
And sorehammer  forget about PI
It is sharing same interrupts for Ethernet with USb by HW design so in general PI is not good for heavy usb I/O  

[sorehammer]

I'm getting just one of the minion boards at the moment but will get more, I never considered going down pi route when I have a pc on 24/7 why get another device.

You are welcome  .
That's correct, only TL-MR3020 need LAN connection. Miner to TL-MR3020 using USB connection.
TL-MR3020 is your little PC running on linux.

Tplink is 5wats what about your PC 200-300W?

[Collider]

It is only 3.5W as I last checked

But yes, it is stupid to have it on your 200W computer XD

Will the tp-link run any other hardware I have a rockminer and some u1's connected to the pc.

No, but a raspi would. However, it does take a little bit of linux knowledge to set that up.

The specific tplink image (only?) supports all miners from technobit, providing a very elegant solution.

Zich,
This difficulty which i can use in the settings of several miners, what is it exactly for?
i understand the difficulty of a mining pool, but when i look at it, this looks like its an another kind of diffuculty.

am i right here?

[sorehammer]

Ok I need putting straight on some things.

1, the miner has a mirco usb port that connects to the hub.
2, the tp-link has 2 usb ports and a lan port, 1 micro usb and one male usb. the micro is for power how do I connect the tp-link to the hub do I use the micro usb.

The MINI USB port on the TPLink router is for powering the TPLink.
Not sure about the rest as I am using one of these for a WAP (wifi access point)

I'd imagine that the miner will plug into the standard USB ports and ethernet into the LAN, power into the mini USB.
Not many other choices really from what I can tell.

[sorehammer]

but in the image a page back it shows the following.

router
switch
tp-link

so how lol

just saw the image...pretty self explanatory but I will help ya out...

Plug your MINER (or USB hub) into the TP-Link unit USB port (standard A-not mini)
Plug the TP-Link unit into your switch (if no switch, straight into router) via LAN
Plug a MINI USB into the TP-Link unit for power

Ok I give up this makes no sense today maybe tomorrow

i now see my error I need another usb hub, was using the one I have which is allready connected to my pc lol

I guess the asic had the capability to filter the accepted nonce before send it to pool. This is similar to A1 asic.
This feature will reduce amount of data sent to pool.
But wrong setting on nonce timeout will make cgminer reset the asic. You will loose hash if it's reset every times 0 nonces return.
So you need to see how long the nonce return to pool each time.

I've set my nonce timeout to 5sec on my hex4m and it's running sound. It was 2sec default and it just kept resetting the damn chips.

Super duper 2 secs is at the edge for 400gh so if you are down clocking you should increase it also
How is your pool graph by the way does it match with cgminer speed stats
I guess yes correct 

[sorehammer]

I'm seeing around 450ghs on the cgminer and 430ish on the pool so I'm happy

[loshia]

Good the difference should be not so big. What is your reject rate?
And cgminer avarge spread. Do you have some shares leaking to your backup pool if you are using any?

[sorehammer]

have a reject rate of 0.33% I think that's not too bad but I may be wrong.

[loshia]

have a reject rate of 0.33% I think that's not too bad but I may be wrong.

Reject is fine but your pool stats shall match exactly to cgminer avarage speed minus rejects
Do you have backup pool?
Can you check if this pool is accepting shares also?

[sorehammer]

no back up pool pool says 446 and my avg is 430

[loshia]

no back up pool pool says 446 and my avg is 430

That is good then 
First time I misunderstood you
It is just a luck that pool is above cgminer stats sometimes it may be opposite but avarage will always match to cgminer stats

[sorehammer]

I'm happy I had 240ghs in x1's after the conversion i'm getting 430ghs so may make some roi after all the delays

HELP! Did something dumb.

Logged into TP-Link MR3020 via web page and set Network to from static to DHCP and now I cannot see it on any IP address.

DHCP server is enabled on the Internet router but it don't show up on the network.

I pressed the flashing reset button on boot-up but it didn't seem to reset OpenWRT to 192.168.1.1

Any ideas? Thanks.

Download ethereal wire shark
Install it
Plug tplink in your PC LAN directly
Fire sniffer wire shark
Power up tplink
And it will tell you what is going on
The flashing reset button is biggest one try it one more time
If you did it it will blink like traffic light
And make sure to adjust your LAN settings Also when you are trying to reach 192.168.1.1
There is open telnet on 192.168.1.1 nothing more no web
You have to login and type a bunch of commands
Please Read openwrt fail safe procedure first
Ps: I am glad to hear fro you gator even though the occasion is not so good. I thought you've quit mining

Okay fired up wireshark

It seems to be broadcasting 169.254.85.24

so I set my laptop to DCHP client and it picked up the address

Code:

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::150c:a7b3:cc9e:5518%10
   Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.85.24
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

I definatly told the TP-Link/OpenWRT to use a DHCP client, not become a DHCP server!

I'm still none the wiser how to communicate with the thing 255.255.0.0 is a lot of possible addresses.

Does it matter what mode the switch is in? It's in the middle setting WISP.

You laptop did not picked address at all
There is no dhcp server to give address to your laptop
You do not have a gateway right besides openwrt Technobit build does not have dhcp server build in at all  
Just use wire shark
According to windows rules there is no such thing as de configured state in order words when there is dhcp server to give you agrees windows picks one
Or,just set your laptop to 192.168.1.12/24
Ping 192.168.1.1 -t from dos
And try with reset button
When you do it you will see replies,from 1.1 tplinkk

I set the laptop to 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0
Wireshark is recording the LAN
No other IP addresses show up in wireshark.
No response from pinging 192.168.1.1

When I try to do the reset thing when the light blinks on the TP-Link it doesn't blink faster afterwards.

also tried 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0
No response from 192.168.0.99

which is where it original was after installing Technobits OpenWRT.

Connect tplink directly to your LAN card of PC

Fire wire shark
Stop all pings
Start capturing packets
Power tplink
Want 10 secs and post captured packets here

[Gator-hex]

I even put a router in between the laptop and the TP-Link just to make sure it's served a DHCP address, because setting DHCP Client is what caused this mess, nothing, laptop got a DHCP address, but the TP-Link Lights are on but no one is home.

I am not so sure whether the switch position had impact to the system but i believe you should move it to 3G/4G.

Since the default IP is 192.168.0.99, maybe after reset the ip will be 192.168.0.99 not 192.168.1.1.

Failsafe Mode

  -  Set your computer's IP to 192.168.0.2, subnet 255.255.255.0
  -  Connect the TL-MR3020 to your computer via ethernet
  -  Power on the TL-MR3020
  -  When the WPS button starts to blink:
       on BB (Breaking Barrier / trunk) move the sliding switch quickly from one side to the other.
  -  Do this until the WPS button starts blinking faster.
  -  The device is now in Failsafe-Mode
  -  You may access it by using telnet 192.168.0.99

If you success then you can give command for full reset

Code:

firstboot

I even put a router in between the laptop and the TP-Link just to make sure it's served a DHCP address, because setting DHCP Client is what caused this mess, nothing, laptop got a DHCP address, but the TP-Link Lights are on but no one is home.  

Connect tplink directly to your LAN card of PC

Fire wire shark
Stop all pings
Start capturing packets
Power tplink
Want 10 secs and post captured packets here

Gator,
Do not put a router in between please you need a hub in between not a switch in order to sniff. But I am dam sure you do not have HUB aground this stuff is too old
Do it one more time as i suggested please.
Connect tplink in your PC with one utp wire. Nothing more
Then capture again

[funkymunky]

This is genius!

Thank you

[sorehammer]

The tp-link is awesome, simple to setup and so simple to make changes on the fly

[Gator-hex]

I even put a router in between the laptop and the TP-Link just to make sure it's served a DHCP address, because setting DHCP Client is what caused this mess, nothing, laptop got a DHCP address, but the TP-Link Lights are on but no one is home.  

Connect tplink directly to your LAN card of PC

Fire wire shark
Stop all pings
Start capturing packets
Power tplink
Want 10 secs and post captured packets here

Gator,
Do not put a router in between please you need a hub in between not a switch in order to sniff. But I am dam sure you do not have HUB aground this stuff is too old
Do it one more time as i suggested please.
Connect tplink in your PC with one utp wire. Nothing more
Then capture again

Those results are for what you said "Connect tplink directly to your LAN card of PC" directly connected.
I was just saying I tried it with a router, as well, too to serve it a DHCP address but that don't work either.

[Gator-hex]

I am not so sure whether the switch position had impact to the system but i believe you should move it to 3G/4G.

Since the default IP is 192.168.0.99, maybe after reset the ip will be 192.168.0.99 not 192.168.1.1.

Failsafe Mode

  -  Set your computer's IP to 192.168.0.2, subnet 255.255.255.0
  -  Connect the TL-MR3020 to your computer via ethernet
  -  Power on the TL-MR3020
  -  When the WPS button starts to blink:
       on BB (Breaking Barrier / trunk) move the sliding switch quickly from one side to the other.
  -  Do this until the WPS button starts blinking faster.
  -  The device is now in Failsafe-Mode
  -  You may access it by using telnet 192.168.0.99

If you success then you can give command for full reset

Code:

firstboot

I've tried all three switch positions.
I've tried 192.168.0.99 and 192.168.1.1 and DHCP but no luck, I just can't see it talking on the network or even directly connected.
I tried pressing the button after it flashes, and moving the switch after it flashes, but no luck, there is no high speed flash, and no reset.

All this was caused just by changing the static IP setting to DHCP in Technobit's OpenWRT. Beware of that!  

[loshia]

Ok
Sorry to say that gator but there is 0 activity on tplink LAN then
It is not asking for ip and also it is not broadcasting so

The only option left is to hack it and use console it is hardware hack

Yo can still try various buttons to reset it while sniffing it can revival itself eventually


Best

[sorehammer]

Did you manage to fix you tp-link gator

[2GOOD]

All this was caused just by changing the static IP setting to DHCP in Technobit's OpenWRT. Beware of that!  

I managed to accomplish the exact same result as gator, the problem is when you switch from static to DHCP you have to FIRST press the Switch Protocol button, then Save/Apply if not the device remains with static IP but not set any, i.e. null

So far I can not enter failsafe mode, maybe it's not included with this build or the buttons are ignored... don't know the reason. @loshia please share your opinion

P.S.
===
I have to find my serial cable to fix this piece of plastic  

[Qeu]

What a joy to work with, with that Technobit/cgminer fw! After the recovery reset, is the ip not 192.168.0.254, like here, see the comments? http://tplinkmr3020.blogspot.nl/2012/09/failsafe-recovery-reset.html

What a joy dude
Next time use stock china firmware when yo mine.
So you will mine with 0 GH guaranteed but reset will work eventually
For the record there is no such thing as factory reset in openwrt using buttons. Reset can be performed only via web.just read what fail safe openwrt mode is and how to use it
2good
1. I never use dhcp for mining
2. I have to dig serial cable like you and I will check this out
I have enough bricks already due to various reasons   so I will find a serial cable and max232 probably pull up res is needed also and will check that out. And I will recover all my bricks

I hope marto staff will fix that in upcoming image
I vote dhcp to be removed. If a miner can not set ip mask gw and DNS this stuf is not for him at all
I am sure marto will take care of the above two issues.

Serial to TTL cable did the trick, just changed eth0 from static to dhcp.

That because there is two screen running at the moment. xxx.btc is cgminer, xxx.ltc is sgminer for scrypt mining.
You can enable & disable them from startup tab.

Why you spamming so many threads once was enough jack ass.

[loshia]

Because you are a ballon led boy . You talk to yourself and spamming forum with constant bulshit. You are moving your posts so your shit can be always seen from everybody. I am enough

[loshia]

Cry me a river Loshia.

Where is the compensation for those customers?

10 weeks... and now we have more and more crap coming out of Technobit. How about he just ship what he owes without a problem for once... is that too hard to ask for customers?

https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/post/thumbdown.gif Technobit. Go elsewhere people no need to buy from this crook.

As I said go and find young boys to keep your spam alive. They shall be gifted ones so they can write a bot for you

[loshia]

Are you getting nervous led boy
By the way whre is JOE?
You have to go to class room immediately to check how young boys are doing
And to make sure your spammy bot will be ready on time

[loshia]

Keep ignoring the problem.

Spam away jackass.

Why you move your posts down always?
I am wondering

Oh yeah I got it everyone are obliged to read your BULSHIT
Just change the content from time to times will you
Ask JOE for help
Comen Joe where are you you friend needs your help urgently

[loshia]

Keep spamming Loshia.

Can you answer my question?
Why you are moving down constantly your posts?
Why you are deleting mine and other people posts?
Why
And who is the spammer then
How is JOE doing

[loshia]

Keep spamming... keep spamming.

Never answer the questions.

Why should people buy from a guy that habitually has disgruntled customers?

You refuse to answer right?
And you do not know why you move your posts and why you delete all that does not suits you?
We have two options here
1. You have a mental disorder
2. Someone is paying you
Or both
Or Joe left you and you are totally depressed from his absence 

[loshia]

Where are the miners?

Compensation?

Nope more spam.

Avoid Technobit everyone. You have better options out there.

Like wasp blinking leds
No shit Sherlock
Guys check my signature and pay member ship fee. I beg you ......
LEDs do cost money right Bick?
Combine amt ex bicknelsky partner know how and you will posess the network

[loshia]

Spam?
And avoiding simple questions...
You are a spammer led boy.
Do you have to add anything new ?
Some ne LEDs for instance

[loshia]

Here are the answers
Joe where are you?
Your friend needs help
Come on please and fight the good fight.
BickLEDsky is well known with three things
1. Spams
2. Blinking LEDs and wasp story
3. ........... He knows the third one

To all folks listen to led boy and you are going to succeed for sure

What part are you missing?

There were a plenty of posts deleted from your own hand with the answers to your spam.. Do you remember.
You can dig them if you want
What have you got .... Three posts dig from the forum....
You know what let the folks queted answer it seems fair to me

[loshia]

Ask the foks quoted to bring the light with the answers seems fair for me what about it led boy?
In a same way I am askin
Joe whre are you

[loshia]

As usual biKLEDsky removed all of his posts and left mine to hang in the air.
But any way I can live with that.
And he moved his post to be the latest one of course
How pathetic teacher
We know all of your shity tricks be smarter next time boy
Buy the way I am voting for your salary increase. Whoever your employer is Mr please increase Bick salary he deserves every cent of it
Besides medicines do cost and I am damn sure his shrink will triple the dose very soon

I take it this Bick is a complete dick.

DHCP is not an issue, you first have to switch protocol then save/apply maybe Zich have to add this in the howto

I Really REALLY reaLlYYyyy HOPE that you enable wifi in the next release  

You can also remove the scrypt part, if someone wants it he can use current versions, there is no need of it in future updates.

No. I had a second one. Just installed the latest software on that. Must say the new mining software is much more stable than the last one and less rejects.

Wifi was removed to free up memory if I remember correctly. I doubt it will come back unless the software got smaller.
You can link two TP-Links together, the second one acting as Wifi router, that's why I enabled DHCP, I wasn't sure what IP it would need.
I'm pretty sure I save and apply. Then it reboot and broke.

There is no need to change the protocol in order to connect to other wifi router. Just set the IP address prefix like the one on wifi router, set the gateway & dns to wifi router address

There are 3 steps to go from Static to DHCP.
1. Change from the drop down menu
3. press SWITCH PROTOCOL
2. Save Apply

About the WiFi, yes I hear this all the time, but It is working just fine with stock openwrt and cgminer - mem is enough - tested and still working. The free space is the problem so it has to be custom build openwrt image. Especially if they remove the scgminer there shouldn't be an issue

About the WiFi, yes I hear this all the time, but It is working just fine with stock openwrt and cgminer - mem is enough - tested and still working. The free space is the problem so it has to be custom build openwrt image. Especially if they remove the scgminer there shouldn't be an issue

I am more prefer that the DHCP option to be remove completely to avoid further incident

There are 3 steps to go from Static to DHCP.
1. Change from the drop down menu
3. press SWITCH PROTOCOL
2. Save Apply

Disagree
Enabling the failsafe mode is more than enough for stupid mistakes.

I don't think he had spared time to check why the failafe didn't work

After some playing around i managed to build image with WiFi enabled, working failsafe, and cgminer

There are several bugs, for instance hotplug in not working, SaveApply for cgminer is not restarting it and etc. but in general it is OK, so please Technobit make special build with WiFi and remove scrypt to make some space for the ath9k drivers

IMO it will work just fine

Fixed bugs:
SaveApply restarts cgminer
API Log is working
Updated to Technobit patch 3_8_0

Not fixed
hotplug - you have to restart cgminer or the router to detect new devices

I'll test it a couple of days and if everything is OK will post the firmware for downloading.

Of course it will be best if Technobit enable WiFi

Here it is my build of openwrt for MR3020 with Technobit patched cgminer.

Key features:

• Deafault DHCP enabled - you have to look at your main router to see the IP address of the MR3020
• WiFi Enabled - go to Network -> WiFi -> Scan to connect to your home wifi network - it will get the same IP as LAN
• Failsafe is working - hold the button while loading to enter failsafe mode
• Scrypt cgminer is not included

Bugs:

• HotPlug is not working, so if you connect new devices you have to restart cgminer or the router.
• Very rare, cgminer fails to detect a device - just go to your cgminer settings and clock Save^Apply - that will restart cgminer

Download link:

Feedback needed!

Please note that this is beta software and I'm not in anyway responsible if you brick your device.

Nice work

1. To make hot plug work include udevd in the build make sure service starts up on boot + copy /etc/udev.... Rules.d cgminer or whatever it was from original distro
2. When you make udev work with appropriate rules cgminer will start to detect boards always

Side notes: wifi is eating about 10 mv of device ram so be carefull when upgrading and always check if there is enough free ram prior to upgrade
Wifi can cause usb issues some times because of the 3020 hw design

Can you make/compile this firmware to work on Alfa Hornet/ Alfa AP121U base on Ath71xx too? Thanks.

[2GOOD]

@loshia 10x for the info, I tried udev, and some files but maybe missed something.. will test it again

Can you make/compile this firmware to work on Alfa Hornet/ Alfa AP121U base on Ath71xx too? Thanks.

It should work, I'll try that too but there is no way to test it.


EDIT:

Success !!!

The init.d script for udev is missing from the pkg that was the problem.

New version 0.4b-4.0.0 with hotplug working, and some minor fixes

Is it possible to fit the newest cgminer onto TL-MR3020 instead of the Technobit version?
Has anyone tried?

Sure no problems
There are two cgminers inside Technobit build. There is a plenty of room but you must know what to do

[Trends]

Well if it is do-able I'll start reading,maybe I can make something that can be loaded in.
I did try BFGminer with his instructions for OpenWrt: opkg repository for 12.09 "Attitude Adjustment" (sig + PGP key)
but ran out of memory.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yah stock openwrt build is full of usless things in terms of mining.
.......dhcp IPv6 firewall PPP the list is too long.
Same applies to tplink kernel....a lot of stuff can be removed from there also
As I said there is enough room for two even three cgminers but you have to clean it first

We still waiting for latest firmware release from marto. Screen shot on DICE thread is using cgminer 4.8.0
There is a change that firmware 0.4.0 had no support for DICE.

*UPDATED + patch 29_12_2014

If you are using tbdice.org solo pool you can find your TP-link IP address by visiting http://tbdice.org/myminers/index.php from a PC in the same LAN where your TP-link with DICE firmware is

Thanks for the guide.
Juste a question : i have an old version of openwrt ("OpenWrt Barrier Breaker r40295"), i think it is a 0.3.0. It is working very well, but i'm using a DHCP configuration.
I want to update to 0.4.0, should i change network mode to static configuration ?
When i'm going to the "Network/interfaces" screen, and i select "static", i cannot immediately set the new address, i must click on a "Switch protocol" button. If i click, will it not reset the address immediately, making the tplink not acessible ?

No, no need to change to static if you want to upgrade to 0.4.0. Just uncheck the save setting option. After upgrade, the default ip is 192.168.0.99.
0.4.0 come with static option, but do not change to DHCP

Can anyone make this firmware 0.4b-4.0.0 to work with Technobit Asic & USB Erupters (AntMiners) ?

No, as far as i know. You can try to compile the cgminer for openwrt. I never try since it's out of my league

Alright I think I'll just go with a Raspberry Pi since it seems to be the only low power consumption controller.

I just flashed one of these http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WR703N-Portable-802-11n-Wireless/dp/B0083Z54P0/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1455441733&sr=1-2&keywords=TP-LINK+TL-WR703N  flashed it

 to the https://ehash.com/product/avalon4-module-1t/ avalon4.1 firmware using this guide http://www.shadowandy.net/2015/03/flashing-tp-link-tl-wr703n-v1-7-to-openwrt.htm it took me a few days to get it down but i did it .

 the TPLInk 703n router I used  was one of the locked ones with  1,7 firmware,

I  just bought a TL-MR3020 it's due today . I'm gonna see how far i can push it.
