Xiaomi Mi Router 3 Pro (Release Candidate 1)
Pre-release
[Note This is not the latest release. Scroll down if you want to use the newer 5.0.2.0 wireless driver ]
There's a "pull request" somewhere in the pipeline to integrate MIR3P support to openwrt. This "release" includes changes that were requested during the review of of that PR.
Most importantly: Reworked the partition table. Turns out my "firmware = automatic kernel+ubi" scheme doesn't work for ubi (works for jffs2, fwiw). So now we're back to a hard-coded "kernel" partition (and of course "ubi" as well).
What does this mean? Well, if you want to install (from one of my previous builds) you can go ahead and do:
mtd write factory.bin firmware
since "firmware" exists on the previous builds. Going forward, however, there won't be a "firmware" partition anymore. (But then... "sysupgrade" now works, so that shouldn't matter).
Very importantly: people who were ending up in bootloops due to bad blocks should (hopefully) not experience that problem anymore.
Other changes:
Nothing very serious. Added nodes for the mt7615 devices in the .dts file. The installation files will now have the name "xiaomi_mir3p" (instead of just "mir3p"). sysupgrade works. mt7615 (still) works (with the same caveats as earlier. There should be no real change in functionality.
Please see previous releases. And please continue to test and provide feedback.
