Support for Tp link CPE210 v2.0

Adding support for Freifunk is also one of my intentions with the CPE210. I also got version 2 by accident, because I didn't do any research about newer versions of the CPE210. According to the TP-Link website there is also a CPE210v3, which I have never seen. Maybe this will be the non-EU version?

I never tried to add LEDE support to a new device, but the commit for supporting CPE210v1 looks quite logical. Anyway I would be glad if someone experienced could provide us with some tips. One thing that could cause trouble is TP-Links SafeLoader.

Anybody made any progress?

I still be waiting the device.

v1 is based on the AR9344, v2 on the QCA953x (x=1?). Maybe more similar to the WR810N or EAP110?

Its QCA9533, which is pretty much the same as QCA9531.
There has been some progress but serial console does not work.

Anybody else had issues with writing to console?
I cant get it write,RX works without issues

Is anybody interested in helping?
I have managed to get flashing over WEB UI working, but unfortunately serial is not working after the kernel is loaded.

Unfortunately TP Link has yet to release GPL for V2.
GPL source that they have released for V2 now is the same one for V1 with configuration only for V1 so that is useless

Any interest on helping me?
It aint gonna fix itself.
Pretty much everything is ready(In theory) but still as soon as kernel starts loading serial output dies.
Even when I manually load kernel over tftp and boot it serial works till just after it is enabled in log.

Please tell me have you solved it already?

No, unfortunately, I cant get serial to work and without that I cant go any further

I also have Tp Link. Looking for a solution

There is a brand new post from someone that was able to post the serial logs
