Add support for D-Link DIR-2055 A1 based on similarities to DIR-1960 A1,
as well as various DIR-8xx A1 models. Existing DIR-1960 A1 openwrt
"factory" firmware installs without modifications via the D-Link Recovery
GUI and has no known incompatibilities with the DIR-2055 A1.

Specifications:
Board: Not known
SoC: MediaTek MT7621 Family (MT7621AT)
RAM: 256 MB (Micron 9OK17 D9PTK, should be DDR3 MT41K128M16JT-125)
Flash: 128 MB (Winbond W29N01HVSINA)
WiFi: MediaTek MT7615 Family (MT7615N x2)
Switch: 1 WAN, 4 LAN (Gigabit)
Ports: 1 USB 3.0 (front)
Buttons: Reset, WiFi Toggle, WPS
LEDs: Power (white/orange), Internet (white/orange),
WiFi 2.4G (white), WiFi 5G (white)
Notes:
Only known difference vs. the DIR-1960 A1 is that the DIR-2055 A1
doesn't have a USB activity LED
Serial port:
Tested to be identical to various DIR-8xx A1 models with a similar
enclosure/pcb design:
Parameters: 57600, 8N1, 3.3V TTL no flow control
Location: J1 header (close to the Reset, WiFi and WPS buttons)
Pinout: 1 - VCC 2 - RXD 3 - TXD 4 - GND
Did not connect VCC when using
Installation:
D-Link Recovery GUI: power down the router, press and hold the reset
button, then re-plug it. Keep the reset button pressed until the power
LED starts flashing orange, manually assign a static IP address under
the 192.168.0.xxx subnet (e.g. 192.168.0.2) and go to
http://192.168.0.1
Some modern browsers may have problems flashing via the Recovery GUI,
if that occurs consider uploading the firmware through cURL:
curl -v -i -F "firmware=@file.bin" 192.168.0.1

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.
Sunshine!
Download
Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.
If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.
An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or macOS system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.7+ rsync subversion unzip which
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
maketo build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.

The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of
different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package
manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port
packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
