How to upgrade TPLINK TL-MR3020 firmware to technobit openwrt

[2GOOD]

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

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

And here is the build for Alfa Hornet/ Alfa AP121U:

Warning: Build for Alfa not tested use at your own risk !!!

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.

[sorehammer]

A new firmware how did I miss that
