?Hello,
As I need to modify the boot environment I need to upgrade the fairly old Uboot-1.1.4 that you find on those quite popular device TP-Link Archer C7 (version 5 in my case).
After investigations I found that you have a support for the AP152 that is the base of that router. I just changed few things to enable the proper boot address and Ethernet support.
U-Boot work well but twhen OpenWRT boot it crash with random characters on the console during the PIEe initialization.
Did I missed something ? (a variabe to set somewhere ?) I added debug info below.
Regards, MiNuS_89

Below the last line of the boot log from the console that show the issue.

---------
My U-Boot version: U-Boot 2022.04-rc4 (Mar 15 2022 - 16:56:25 +0100)
---------
I cross compiled it with the OpenWRT SDK: openwrt-sdk-21.02.2-ath79-generic_gcc-8.4.0_musl.Linux-x86_64
--------
I'm booting OpenWRT 21.02.2 and it boot correctly with the original U-Boot that I recovered a couple of time to investigate.
