The underlying operating system for DifuseHQ's embedded routing devices
Sitecom WLR-8100 v1 002 (marketed as X8 AC1750) is a dual band wireless router. Specification: - Qualcomm Atheros SoC QCA9558 - 128 MB of RAM (DDR2) - 16 MB of FLASH (Macronix MX25L12845EMI-10G - SPI NOR) - 5x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet - 3T3R 2.4 GHz (QCA9558 WMAC) - 3T3R 5.8 Ghz (QCA9880-BR4A) - 1x USB 3.0 (Etron EJ168A) - 1x USB 2.0 - 9x LEDs - 2x GPIO buttons Everything working. Installation and restore procedure tested Installation 1. Connect to one of LAN (yellow) ethernet ports, 2. Open router configuration interface, 3. Go to Toolbox > Firmware, 4. Browse for OpenWrt factory image with dlf extension and hit Apply, 5. Wait few minutes, after the Power LED will stop blinking, the router is ready for configuration. Restore OEM FW (Linux only) 1. Download OEM FW from website (tested with WLR-8100v1002-firmware-v27.dlf) 2. Compile the FW for this router and locate the "mksenaofw" tool in build_dir/host/firmware-utils/bin/ inside the OpenWrt buildroot 3. Execute "mksenaofw -d WLR-8100v1002-firmware-v27.dlf -o WLR-8100v1002-firmware-v27.dlf.out" where: WLR-8100v1002-firmware-v27.dlf is the path to the input file (use the downloaded file) WLR-8100v1002-firmware-v27.dlf.out is the path to the output file (you can use the filename you want) 4. Flash the new WLR-8100v1002-firmware-v27.dlf.out file. WARNING: Do not keep settings. Additional notes. The original firmware has the following button configuration: - Press for 2s the 2.4GHz button: WPS for 2.4GHz - Press for 2s the 5GHz button: WPS for 5GHz - Press for 15s both 2.4GHz and 5GHz buttons: Reset I am not able to replicate this behaviour, so I used the following configuration: - Press the 2.4GHz button: RFKILL (disable/enable every wireless interfaces) - Press the 5GHz button: Reset Signed-off-by: Davide Fioravanti <pantanastyle@gmail.com> |

To build your own firmware you need a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system. You need gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python3.5+, perl, make, find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers installed. 1. Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default 2. Run "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ 3. Run "make menuconfig" to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. 4. Run "make" to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system. Sunshine!
