 Like several other Linksys devices, the EA3500 has a dual firmware layout: working and backup partitions. Unless you manually choose which partition by doing a manual uboot/tftp install, firmware flashes occur on the backup partition and the EA3500 shall reboot from the backup partition following from a firmware flash. The backup partition becomes the new working partition when the reboot was successful. The former working partition becomes the new backup partition. There is a useful Luci app that show which partition is currently booted: luci-app-advanced-reboot, see the [[https://github.com/openwrt/luci/blob/master/applications/luci-app-advanced-reboot/README.md | readme]] for more information. Like several other Linksys devices, the EA3500 has a dual firmware layout: working and backup partitions.

-As of LEDE 17.01 no special build is needed. However the LEDE 17.01 and later releases cannot directly be uploaded to the stock firmware.

 +Current snapshot (Oct 23 2019) factory image can be flashed from stock firmware's web interface.
  
 Note that the 17.01 does not have the kmod-gpio-button-hotplug package included by default, making it impossible to activate fail safe mode. It is therefore highly recommended to install kmod-gpio-button-hotplug. Later versions have this package included by default. Note that the 17.01 does not have the kmod-gpio-button-hotplug package included by default, making it impossible to activate fail safe mode.
