TL-MR3020: The Bifferboard successor

[admin]

As bifferboards are going EOL a sucessor has to be found. For this we had the following items on our wish list

• cheap
• good world-wide availability
• easy to patch into a Meteoplug client
• WLAN would be great
• full developer access including kernel sources and cross-compile toolchain. Ok, this is my special whish not so important for you )

So I am proud to introduce the TL-MR3020 from TP-LINK, which fulfills all requested features and even has WLAN. Base of the Meteoplug port is Linux based free router operating system openwrt. They do support the MR3020 in an excellent way. Bringing the Meteoplug client port on top of this was quite straight forward. Many thanks to the openwrt team, which did a phantastic job on porting openwrt to the TL-MR3020.

So when you plan to buy HW for a Meteoplug solution, I strongly recommend to go with TL-MR3020. You will find more details here:
http://wiki.meteoplug.com/Hardware#TP-Link_TL-MR3020

A step by step description how to set it up, can be found here:

Documentation is available in English and German. I hope yu will like the new client as much as I do.

Boris,

Nice job on the OpenWRT port for meteoplug! I lke the use of the ram disc on /tmp/opt/home for the meteoplug software. Good idea to ruduce the wear on the flash-memory. The wget to reterive the meteoplug software is also nice. Meteoplug software will always be current that way.

I managed to use the OpenWRT toolchain crosscompiler to compile the binary for a gcc plugin that I have been using on meteohub for a while. It compiled on x86 Debian 6 with the crosscompiler for the MIPS processor on the MR3020 without modification. It runs under meteoplug on the OpenWRT ML3020 meteoplug just fine! A quick edit to /etc/rc.local copies it to the ram disc on system startup to /home/meteohub where meteoplug runs.

Again, great work!
Thanks, Fred

Please use English to to phrase your comments/questions. This is not a French forum.
If you need help in setting up your Meteoplug, you can ask for it in an appropriate manner.
Most didn't had any trouble in setting up the MR3020. I have one case where installing the
Meteoplug firmware was not working, as the original firmware did not allow to flash this.
What your 60 Euro problem is and why you feel ripped off and why in general you use such
bad language in expressing your technical problems is a miracle to me.
