A deep modification of U-Boot 1.1.4 bootloader sources for MIPS-based routers with Qualcomm/Atheros SoCs, adding features like a web fail-safe recovery mode, network console, and writable environment variables. It supports devices from TP-Link, D-Link, Netgear, ZyXEL, and Belkin.

Use cases

  • recover a bricked router via web fail-safe mode
  • flash firmware on a TP-Link router with TFTP
  • access router bootloader over the network with netconsole
  • customize U-Boot environment variables on Atheros routers
  • install OpenWrt or DD-WRT on supported routers

When to avoid

  • the project is no longer maintained
  • your router uses a non-MIPS or unsupported SoC
  • you need a modern U-Boot with upstream support
