  • Must be flashable from vendor firmware
    • Web interface
    • TFTP
    • Other:
  • Must support upgrade mechanism
    • Must have working sysupgrade
      • Must keep/forget configuration (sysupgrade [-n], firstboot)
    • Gluon profile name matches autoupdater image name
      (lua -e 'print(require("platform_info").get_image_name())')
  • Reset/WPS/... button must return device into config mode
  • Primary MAC address should match address on device label (or packaging)
    (https://gluon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dev/hardware.html#hardware-support-in-packages)
    • When re-adding a device that was supported by an earlier version of Gluon, a
      factory reset must be performed before checking the primary MAC address, as
      the setting from the old version is not reset otherwise.

      No visible mac on the casing. I resued the mac address strategy from the W6m to make that consistent. The mac is the one saved for wan inside the device.
  • Wired network
    • should support all network ports on the device
    • must have correct port assignment (WAN/LAN)
      • if there are multiple ports but no WAN port:
        • the PoE input should be WAN, all other ports LAN
        • otherwise the first port should be declared as WAN, all other ports LAN
  • Wireless network (if applicable)
    • Association with AP must be possible on all radios
    • Association with 802.11s mesh must work on all radios
    • AP+mesh mode must work in parallel on all radios
  • LED mapping
    • Power/system LED
    • Radio LEDs
      • Should map to their respective radio
      • Should show activity
    • Switch port LEDs
      • Should map to their respective port (or switch, if only one led present)
      • Should show link state and activity
  • Outdoor devices only:
    • [ ] Added board name to is_outdoor_device function in package/gluon-core/luasrc/usr/lib/lua/gluon/platform.lua
  • Cellular devices only:
    • [ ] Added board name to is_cellular_device function in package/gluon-core/luasrc/usr/lib/lua/gluon/platform.lua
    • [ ] Added board name with modem setup function setup_ncm_qmi to package/gluon-core/luasrc/lib/gluon/upgrade/250-cellular
