5 E103-W20 for secondary development
5.1 Acquisition and compilation of secondary development SDK
The module is factory-burned with the basic firmware of openwrt version 14.07. We provide this version of the openwrt
SDK for developers to use. Since compiling the source code needs to download some foreign packages, it is easy to make
mistakes during the compiling process, and there may be some environmental problems, so we provide the configured
source code in the form of a virtual machine image, and the compilation can be successful directly.
（1）Compile the virtual machine on Baidu network disk(using vmware virtual machine)
Link: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1V-HEIY1E2oa41sJcs6Gbgw?pwd=ct04
Extraction code: ct04
（2）After downloading, there are two compressed files in 7zip format. After selecting these two files, use 7zip to
extract them to the current location.
(3) Use vmware to open ubuntu
Virtual machine username: luke password: luke
Virtual machine version 14.1.1
(4) When opening the virtual machine, the mouse may not be available. You can set it in vmware's
Edit->Preferences->Input->Mouse Optimized for Games to always

(5) The source code of Mtk Openwrt comes with the virtual machine, /home/luke/MtkOpenwrt, which already has
the default configuration and can be compiled directly
luke@ub:~$ cd MtkOpenwrt
luke@ub:~$ make V=s
(6) Openwrt configuration compilation

There is already a default configuration in the SDK, which meets the basic functions of routing. Customers can
also customize the configuration according to their own needs.
Command: make menuconfig

The WIFI driver is configured under MTK Properties-> Drivers --->kmod-mt7628

If you need STA function, you can choose: AP-Client Support
Notice:
Kmod-mt7628sta cannot be used, please do not select it, if you need sta function, please select ap-client support under
kmod-mt7628 driver
Use the command make V= s

The compilation results are saved in the bin/ramips/ directory
Generate firmware name: openwrt-ramips-mt7628-mt7628-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

5.2 Firmware burning
(1) Burn through the openwrt web page

①After the module is powered on, connect to the module's wifi, and then enter 192.168.10.1 in the browser to enter
the openwrt web configuration interface
②Enter the password root to log in, then enter the System-->Backup/Flash Firmware option, and select the file to
be updated at the Flash new firmware image.
③ After selecting, click Flash image
④ Enter the verification, click proceed to start burning

⑤Wait about a minute or so, the module indicator lights up and the programming is complete
(2) Use uboot to burn
Using uboot to burn requires the module to be connected to the network cable, and the module and the computer are
in the same network segment
①When the development board is powered on, enter "6" to enter the web page to burn
② Enter the IP address in the above picture in the browser, you can jump to the burning interface; here you can
choose to burn uboot, openwrt firmware, factory parameters

③ Here is an example of upgrading openwrt, first select the bin file we need to burn, then click update firmware to
start the upgrade , and close the webpage after the upgrade.

6 Frequently Asked Questions
6.1 The transmission distance is not ideal
 When there is a straight-line communication obstacle, the communication distance will be correspondingly attenuated;
 Temperature, humidity, and co-channel interference will increase the communication packet loss rate;
 The ground absorbs and reflects radio waves, and the test effect close to the ground is poor;
 Seawater has a strong ability to absorb radio waves, so the seaside test effect is poor;
 If there is a metal object near the antenna, or placed in a metal shell, the signal attenuation will be very serious;
 The power register is set incorrectly, and the air rate is set too high(the higher the air rate, the closer the distance);
 The low voltage of the power supply at room temperature is lower than the recommended value, and the lower the voltage, the
lower the output power;
 Poor matching of the antenna and the module or the quality of the antenna itself.
6.2 Modules are easily damaged
 Please check the power supply to ensure that it is between the recommended supply voltages, if exceeding the maximum value
will cause permanent damage to the module;
 Please check the stability of the power supply, the voltage should not fluctuate greatly and frequently;
 Please ensure anti-static operation during installation and use, and high-frequency components are electrostatically sensitive;
 Please ensure that the humidity during installation and use should not be too high, and some components are humidity-sensitive
devices;
 If there is no special requirement, it is not recommended to use it at too high or too low temperature.

Antennas play an important role in the communication process, and often inferior antennas will have a great impact on the
communication system. Therefore, our company recommends some antennas as antennas with excellent performance and reasonable
price for our wireless modules.
