Every model of wireless device should have at least one sample here. It is a plus to gather all builds of boot loaders for a given model.
- brick recovery,
- open source firmware compatibility testing.
Please send a pull request to add your own sample to the collection.
Use the folder corresponding to the chipset of your CPU. You can find this at various sites online, such as:
To make the filename unique, it should contain:
- the exact device model,
- the exact model version (+board revision),
- u-boot build date: strings *|grep U-Boot,
- +the specific region code if printed (EU, HU, INTL, ...),
- +your name,
- +your MAC (or at least a few bytes from the end).
For example, the following could be valid filenames:
AR9331/TL-WR740N_v4_2015-07-01T141146_bkil.binAR9331/TL-WR740N_v4.32_HU_U-Boot_1.1.4_2015-07-01T141146_bkil_11:22:33:44:55:66.bin
The bulk of the information lies in the model number and the others are contained in the file itself, so a shorter form might suffice in most cases. Although there could exist builds with hard coded flash chip IDs suited for given board revisions as well, so just to be on the safe side, please share as much information as possible.
You should add metadata including references, contact, and site of original publishing to your commit message.
