wall or pole mountable, and rated for outdoor use. It can only be
powered via PoE.

Specifications:
---------------
* CPU: Qualcomm IPQ6018 Quad core Cortex-A53
* RAM: 512 MB
* Storage: ESMT PSR1GA30DT 128MB NAND
* Ethernet:
  * Gigabit RJ45 port with PoE input
* WLAN:
  * 2.4GHz/5GHz
* LEDs:
  * Multi-color System LED (Green/Amber)
* Buttons:
  * 1x Reset
* UART: 4-pin unpopulated header
  * 1.8 V level, Pinout 1 - TX, 2 - RX, 3 - GND, 4 - 1.8V

Installation:
=============

Web UI method
-------------

Set up the device using the vendor's web UI. After that go to
Management->SSH and enable the "SSH Login" checkbox. Select "Save".
The connect to the machine via SSH:

    ssh -o hostkeyalgorithms=ssh-rsa <ip_of_device>

Disable signature verification:

    cliclientd stopcs

Rename the "-web-ui-factory" image to something less than 63
characters, maintaining the ".bin" suffix.
 * Go to System -> Firmware Update.
 * Under "New Firmware File", click "Browse" and select the image
 * Select "Update" and confirm by clicking "OK".

If the update fails, the web UI should show an error message.
Otherwise, the device should reboot into OpenWRT.

TFTP method
-----------

To flash via tftp, first place the initramfs image on the TFTP server.

    setenv serverip <ip of tftp server>
    setenv ipaddr <ip in same subnet as tftp server>
    tftpboot tplink_eap610-outdoor-initramfs-uImage.itb
    bootm

This should boot OpenWRT. Once booted, flash the sysupgrade.bin image
using either luci or the commandline.

The tplink2022 image format
============================

The vendor images of this device are packaged in a format that does
not match any previous tplink formats. In order for flashing to work
from the vendor's web UI, firmware updates need to be packaged in
this format. The `tplink-mkimage-2022.py` is provided for this
purpose.

This script can also analyze vendor images, and extract the required
"support" string. This string is checked by the vendor firmware, and
images with a missing or incorrect string are rejected.
