Right now someone claims that factory image it bricks boards ;-). Mathias

Right now someone claims > that factory image it bricks boards ;-). The line that produces factory image was accidentally left by me while testing before inital commit, d13b05741a4d05a271d26fc3be61e76530025098 I came to the conclusion that flashing from OEM firmware does not work (seems to share this behavior with other tplinks based on mt7628). I have not done any further analysis, as I was unable to open the case and attach a serial port (too much glue). Maybe i will try once more. So the way to do initial flashing (or un-bricking) is to use the tftp-recover image. It is possible to revert to OEM firmware with tftp recovery; in this case the first 512 bytes the image file need to be cut off. Peter > > Mathias >

The factory image is not usable and may brick the device. Signed-off-by: Peter Lundkvist <peter.lundkvist@gmail.com> --- target/linux/ramips/image/mt76x8.mk | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-)
