TP-Link EAP625-Outdoor HD is a 802.11ax AP claiming AX1800 support.
It is wall or pole mountable, and rated for outdoor use. It can only
be powered via PoE.
Hardware-wise, it is very similar to the older EAP610-Outdoor model.
Software-wise, I couldn't find a difference other than the board
data files, and device name. For this reason, the majority of the
devicetree from the EAP610-Outdoor is reused.
This device currently comes in a "v1", and "v1.6" version. The
"support-list" of the vendor firmware does not have a distinction
between these versions. This commit was tested on a 'V1.6" device.
Specifications:
---------------
* CPU: Qualcomm IPQ6018 Quad core Cortex-A53
* RAM: 512 MB
* Storage: 128MB NAND
* Ethernet:
* Gigabit RJ45 port with PoE input
* WLAN:
* 2.4GHz/5GHz
* LEDs:
* Multi-color System LED (Green/Amber)
* Buttons:
* 1x Reset
* UART: 4-pin unpopulated header
* 1.8 V level, Pinout 1 - TX, 2 - RX, 3 - GND, 4 - 1.8V
Installation:
=============
Web UI method
-------------
Set up the device using the vendor's web UI. After that go to
Management->SSH and enable the "SSH Login" checkbox. Select "Save".
The connect to the machine via SSH:
ssh -o hostkeyalgorithms=ssh-rsa <ip_of_device>
Disable signature verification:
cliclientd stopcs
Rename the "-web-ui-factory" image to something less than 63
characters, maintaining the ".bin" suffix.
* Go to System -> Firmware Update.
* Under "New Firmware File", click "Browse" and select the image
* Select "Update" and confirm by clicking "OK".
If the update fails, the web UI should show an error message.
Otherwise, the device should reboot into OpenWRT.
NOTE: If ssh continues to complain that "no matching host key type
found. Their offer: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss" it likely means that yor distro
has completely disabled deprecated siphers in ssh. In that case, run
the ssh command from a docker container of an older distro.
TFTP method
-----------
To flash via tftp, first place the initramfs image on the TFTP server.
setenv serverip <ip of tftp server>
setenv ipaddr <ip in same subnet as tftp server>
tftpboot tplink_eap625-outdoor-hd-v1-initramfs-uImage.itb
bootm
This should boot OpenWRT. Once booted, flash the sysupgrade.bin image
using either luci or the commandline.

Specifications:
* SoC: Qualcomm IPQ6018 (64-bit Quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 @ 1800MHz)
* Memory: 1 GiB
* Serial Port: 3v3 TTL 115200n8
* Wi-Fi: QCN9074 (4x4 5 GHz 802.11ax)
* Wi-Fi: IPQ6018 (4x4 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n/ax)
* Ethernet: RTL8211F (10/100/1GBASE-T)
* Flash: ESMT F59D1G81MB (128 MiB)
* LEDs: 1x Green Status (GPIO 37 Active High), 1x Yellow Status (GPIO 32
Active High) and an LED global control GPIO (GPIO 36 Active High, set
up by U-Boot)
* Buttons: 1x Reset (GPIO 9 Active Low)
Installation Instructions (Serial+TFTP):
1. Solder 4 pin header to the pads near T32 and T31.
2. Connect 3V3 TTL port to TX, RX, and GND, which are pad T31, T32 and
the pad near T31 respectively. Be sure not to connect VCC and
crossover TX and RX.
3. Copy RAM firmware image
openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-tplink_eap623od-hd-v1-initramfs-uImage.itb
to TFTP server root, available at 192.168.0.1.
4. Connect PoE ethernet cable to the RJ45 port and hold Ctrl+B in the
serial console (115200 baud) until autoboot is halted.
5. Run the following commands in the U-boot prompt:
# setenv serverip 192.168.0.1
# setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.99
# tftpboot 0x44000000 openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-tplink_eap623od-hd-v1-initramfs-uImage.itb
# bootm
You may need to type Ctrl+C and Enter before running these commands
to clear invisible characters from the buffer.
6. Run the following command in a terminal to copy the sysupgrade image
to be installed (check IP address):
$ scp openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-tplink_eap623od-hd-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
7. Activate the OpenWrt serial console and run the following commands:
# cd /tmp
# sysupgrade -n openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-tplink_eap623od-hd-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
8. The AP will reboot and OpenWrt will be successfully installed.

The tplink2022 image format
============================
The vendor images of this device are packaged in a format that does
not match any previous tplink formats. In order for flashing to work
from the vendor's web UI, firmware updates need to be packaged in
this format. The `tplink-mkimage-2022.py` is provided for this
purpose.
This script can also analyze vendor images, and extract the required
"support" string. This string is checked by the vendor firmware, and
images with a missing or incorrect string are rejected.
