Hi, I can't find any clues in the docs about which files to flash onto my device. I have git cloned chaos_calmer, configured and built it for my edimax router. I have found the bin/ramips/ directory with dozens of openwrt-ramips-rt305x*-factory.bin files. Which file do I use? I was expecting a single file which I could sent to the router using tftp. So I'm a bit confused! Sorry if this seems a dumb question but I'm not very familiar with installing linux images.

I went to LEDEs "Table of Hardware", and scrolled down to line 250: "Edimax 3g-6200n". On the right there is a "View/Edit data", that leads to a page (https://lede-project.org/toh/hwdata/edi … x_3g-6200n) with two links at the bottom: one to install LEDE on top of the original firmware, and another one to update a previous LEDE version.

Thank you. I didn't know about LEDE. But my hardware is not supported which is why I decided to build from scratch. I have an Edimax EW-7416APn-v2 "Range Extender". It is not listed in LEDE either.
After reading the LEDE home page, should I be using OpenWrt code now at all? Should I scrap my build and pull from LEDE instead?

What hardware specs does  Edimax EW-7416APn-v2 have, i.e. which SoC is used, how many MB flash / MB RAM and which flash/RAM chips are used?

Chipset: Ralink RT3052
CPU: 266MHz
Flash: I read that it has 4MB but the chip inside is MX29LV320 which is 32MB
RAM: 166MHz (6ns) 16MB SDRAM

- 32Mb = 4MB (mind the difference between b and B) = borderline
- 16MB = too little, 32MB min required

For further information regarding the problems arising from low flash/RAM, see
https://lede-project.org/meta/infobox/432_warning

Of course, silly me. 32M'bits'.
So I'm really waisting my time here. Thanks for the info tmo26. I'll stick Edimax in the bin and move on with my life!
