TP-Link wr703N

Post by juzis28 »

Hi, people, i`m happy user of Gargoyle on mine two foneras, recently i bought the cheap wr703N router and i would you ask is here any chance to get Gargoyle running on this model? I haven`t found any info on this forum regarding wr703N.

Here is the openwrt running on it already:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr703n
perhaps here isn`t that hard to develop images for this device?

I`m ready to participate in testing, have Serial cable already and some experience.
Features
Atheros AR7240 CPU (400Mhz)
Atheros AR9331 Chipset (integrated wireless)
802.11 b/g/n 150Mbps (130Mbps real)
wireless power output 20dBm - 100mW
4 MB flash memory
32 MB RAM
USB 2.0 port
Powered via micro-USB socket
Thanks! :)

As the openwrt wiki says, the device is very similar to MR-3020, i used the closest image to this model:

Code: Select all

gargoyle_1.4.7-ar71xx-tl-mr3420-v1-squashfs-factory.bin
Have failed. Got my device bricked - cycle reboot because of too big unsquashed image.

Sure device is unbricked already and i can`t decide what image to try next :)

Eric, could you please give some advice?

EDIT: i tried almost all ar71xx images those aren`t bigger than 3.8Mb and i always got same error

Code: Select all

Too big uncompressed streamLZMA ERROR 1 - must RESET  
Seems here we need custom compilation :(
