Hey Matheus,
Can you show me the size of your kernel and the rootfs images ?
The mktplinkfw tool defines some default limits for these sizes:
.id = "TL-WR1043NDv1",
.hw_id = HWID_TL_WR1043ND_V1,
.hw_rev = 1,
.fw_max_len = 0x7c0000,
.kernel_la = 0x80060000,
.kernel_ep = 0x80060000,
.rootfs_ofs = 0x140000,
So the maximum allowed kernel size (by default) is 0x140000 (1310720
bytes). We can change this offset to accommodate a bigger kernel, but it is
going to change a few other settings (like the flash mappings) and i also
want to check if it is going to fit in the flash.
Regards,
Luiz
