Like in the last recent development cycles, I will once again be occasionally uploading alpha builds.

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/bj94sbhrh7e49/Test Builds

Once again, NO SUPPORT IS PROVIDED for these builds. I welcome any feedback posted in this thread, don't expect responses or immediate fix for any encountered issue. These are pre-beta, therefore they are known to be unfinished builds.

Make sure you read the Changelog before flashing.

If a model isn't available for download, then it's because it's either not working, or can't be compiled at this time. Do not ask for specific models, what's there are the only models available at that time.

Thanks for the update Merlin! There might be a typo in the title of this post. I think you meant 380.60 release.

Thanks I'll fix it.
 
So if I try this alpha, I won't be able to go back to 380.59 on my AC88U?
I realize that's the first thing the "read me" says but I guess I want to double check.

There's a number of posts on the forums indicating that people were able to flash previous versions by using firmware recovery mode. I never tried it myself, so I can't confirm if that works for all models, nor if it will keep working in the future.
 
I'm itching to install this on my RT-AC56U but I think I'll have to hold on for now. The lack of an easy downgrade path makes the whole thing very risky and I just can't afford an issue with the router at the moment as the connection is used for professional work.
 
So I tried compiling the firmware myself and failed. This is the error I am getting:

tcode.o is a prebuilt object from what I see, added with commit 9fe2a70 on github. As far as I can tell, there in no such file tcode.c anywhere in the sources so I am not sure what is going on exactly.

I am running it on my RT-AC5300 without any issues. It appears to be very stable.

Do you know Merlin if this new GPL fixes the QOS issue on SDK7 devices?
 
Updated from 380.59 to 380.60 on RT-AC68U , update process goes to 100%, reboot and after that on firmware version it displayed 380.59_0... So nothing happens, tried 2 times with same result.

L.E. Re-downloaded the firmware and flashed once again... Now it worked fine for me, Firmware version: 3.0.0.4.380.60_alpha2-g13cb349

Author: Eric Sauvageau <rmerl@lostrealm.ca>
Date:   Tue Apr 26 20:39:20 2016 -0400

    Updated RT-AC56U binary blobs from GPL 2695

commit ba017cf65f5a4196af9d7da16f6feb910203ff17

Date:   Wed Oct 7 17:27:45 2015 -0400

    Merge 9135 components for AC66 and AC56

The file should get copied at build time. If it tries to find the source file, then something must be interfering with the prebuild copy stage.

Hmm, the file is exactly where it is supposed to be, has the same gitlog as yours too. I'll start another build and check if it copied anywhere.

EDIT: seems it is copied at release/src/router/shared/prebuild along with private.o but the error persists it keeps looking for the .c file "make[5]: *** No rule to make target 'tcode.c', needed by 'tcode.o'. Stop"

Try removing the shared/ folder and checking out a fresh copy from Git.
