From 2cce634a9e63d25cd23ab30e86263eed3bce4f3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shiji Yang Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2025 17:30:29 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ramips: disable build TP-Link EAP235-Wall After investigating the EAP235-Wall u-boot GPL code, it was found that the u-boot of this device directly loads the kernel from the SPI NOR Flash direct access address. However, due to hardware limitation, MT7621 can only remap the first 4MiB Flash. Excluding some partitions before the kernel, this device can only boot kernels smaller than 0x360000. This means that unless you install a modified bootloader, the mainline OpenWrt will no longer work on this model.
