TL-WR802N V3 (EU) FIRMWARE

Disclaimer

Building and installing a firmware for an embedded device is always tricky and might end up on a bricked device. I'm not responsible for any damage caused because of using this code.

Build requirements

• Ubuntu 14.04 i386
• gcc 4.6.3 or higher
• GNU Make 3.81 or higher
• bison
• flex
• fakeroot and libfakeroot
• autoconf
• libtool
• Perl
• gawk or mawk

Build

This firmware was provided by TP-LINK and it has some compiled binaries that only run on Ubuntu 14.04 i386. If you don't use that system you can use a VM or the Docker image I've prepared. Instructions below:

Ubuntu 14.04 i386

Go to src/build folder and execute make.

$ cd /home/TP-LINK/TL-WR802NV3_eu/build
$ make

Docker

Go to the repository root directory and execute:

$ docker run --rm -v "$PWD/src:/home/user/src:rw" \
  -it iabadia/docker_tl-wr802nv3 \
  /bin/bash -c 'cd /home/user/src/build && make'

That will generate the following files under src/images/wr802nv3_eu:

• wr802nv3_eu_<version>_flash(<time-stamp>).bin
• wr802nv3_eu_<version>_up(<time-stamp>).bin
• wr802nv3_eu_<version>_up_boot(<time-stamp>).bin
