The version inside the compat file determines, if a firmware supports a specific device. I have not yet fully understood, how this is checked, but it only seems to indicate which devices are supported by a specific version of the combined vendor firmware. Devices assume that subsequent versions, starting with the version that initially added support for a specific device, are always compatible. The first compat version that added support for the EP-R6 was '21001:7', but OpenWrt did use '21001:6' before. This is why the factory image could not be flashed using the vendor software, but only using TFTP. The compat version has been bumped by the vendor a few times, but more devices have been added since (e.g. ER-10X). Because OpenWrt currently only supports the ER-X, ER-X-SFP and EP-R6, the compat version is incremented to the version that first supported the EP-R6, which is '21001:7'. This allows the factory image to be flashed on EP-R6 without TFTP. Signed-off-by: Fabian Bläse <fabian@blaese.de> |
