### What to know about the images built with the instructions below
This is the 3.18.9.0 release build. (Protocol 3 compatible, Sept 2018, major release.)
This is the active 'develop' branch with latest AREDN code.
At anytime a new change may be broken or break prior capabilities.
Major enhancements from prior 3.16.2.0 release:
The Amateur Radio community is encouraged to participate in loading the
images produced from a "nightly build" and run the AREDN firmware in a
variety of environments. Given new features may not yet be documented,
participants should already have a basic knowledge of Linux and Networking to
understand and provide useful feedback to the Developer submitting the
code.
* olsrd upgrade from 0.6.7 to 0.9.6.2
* OpenWrt upgrade from 14.07 (July 2014) to 18.06.1 (Aug 2018)
* added Mikrotik basebox 2 and 5
* added Mikrotik hAP lite 952Ui-5ac2nD
* added tp-link cp210 v1.1, v2.0, v3.0, and cpe510 v2.0
* added numerous Ubiquiti "XW" devices
* compatible with all prior AREDN and BBHN 3.1.0 networks (called version 3)
* major linux kernel upgrade from 3.10.49 (July 2014) to 4.9.120 (Aug 2018)
The goal of participation is to obtain confidence that new
features and the overall mesh node is stable. The more participation,
the earlier an issue is found, the faster an enhancement will be
turned into a release.
Known issues in this release:
Here is a summary of significant features added since 3.18.9.0
was releaed:
* Best practice: before firmware upgrade reboot to ensure sufficient RAM is available
* 32MB RAM devices have limited free RAM, installation of additional packages not recommended
* 32MB RAM devices with active tunnels may sustain high load with slow response
* Mikrotik hAP lite model is not yet functional on 5Ghz, is only configured for mesh RF on 2GHz
* Ubiquiti PowerBeam devices with 1GB ports may frequently drop links over
longer cat5 lengths. See work around at https://github.com/aredn/aredn_ar71xx/issues/165
* Locked to Openwrt 18.06.1
Please refer to https://gihub.com/aredn/aredn_ar71xx/issues
for a list of outstanding defects.
The following devices have a peculiar cat5 configuration due to a limitation in the Ethernet driver.
The 'Main" port is used for LAN devices only. The "Secondary" port is WAN and DtDLink usage
