The Comfast CF-E312A V2 is a 5 GHz radio with a built-in directional antenna, much like a Ubiquiti NanoStation M5. Specifiation: - SoC: AR9344 at 650 MHz - Flash: 16 MiB (W25Q128FVSG) - RAM: 64 MiB DDR2 (W9751G6KB) - Ethernet: 1 x WAN (100 Mbps) and 1 x LAN (100 Mbps) - Button: 1 x reset button, 1 x PoE pass-through switch - LED: 8 x LEDS (Power, LAN, WAN, Wireless, 4 signal LEDs) - UART: 1 x UART with header on PCB (GND, RX, TX, 3.3V) It is very similar to the CF-316N - similar chipset, etc. The major differences are: * It operates at 5 GHz, not 2.4 * All the LEDs are white * It has 4 signal LEDs Of note: the eth1 port has an optional PoE pass-through, controlled with a slider switch. Most of the changes are in the file target/linux/ar71xx/files/arch/mips/ath79/mach-cf-e316n-v2.c - the code for the E316N was copied and modified to support the additional LEDs, the LED colors, and a few changes in the GPIOs. Firmware can be flashed on these units by the following method: 1.) Apply power to the unit 2.) Immediately AFTER applying power, hold down the reset button 3.) The WAN, LAN, and wireless lights will flash - wait three seconds (three flashes) and then release the button. 4.) After a second, the lights will "flutter" quickly and the unit will be visible at 192.168.1.1. A web page will be available to enable quick and simple uploading and flashing of firmware. During the boot process, these units also look for a tftp server at 192.168.1.10. If one is present, the firmware can be uploaded as a file called "firmware-auto.bin" Signed-off-by: bmoffitt@bmoffitt.com <bmoffitt@ayrstone.com>

Hi @bmoffitt, I'm closing this one as you have sent the same patch to the lede-dev mailing list: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/845307/. Lets work on it in just one place. Cheers, |
