* mtd: add logic for TP-Link ramips recovery magicDavid Bauer2019-01-261-0/+94
This adds an option to set the recovery flag of newer TP-Link MediaTek boards and remove it after a successful write. To make use of this feature, add the '-t' option to mtd-write. The '-t' option takes the mtd partition containing the recovery flag (usually 'romfile') as an argument. Make sure this partition is not flagged as read-only! Example: > mtd -t romfile write owrt.bin firmware This command writes the recovery-flag before it begins writing the image to the firmware partition. After the image-write has been successful, the recovery flag is removed. This way, the TP-Link web-recovery is automatically enabled on an unsucessful flash (e.g. power loss). This option is only available if the mtd package is compiled for the ramips target. Signed-off-by: David Bauer <mail@david-bauer.net>
