VONETS VHA300
Vonets VHA300 is a MT6720 SoC based 'baseboard' that is used in several other Vonets devices. It's the board that contains the SoC itself. Depending on the device, other option boards are added that determine the final function of a given device. (Homeplug, Smartplug, measure device, controller, dimmer, switch, etc.)
The Vonets VHA300 is not yet supported. There is no ready image available just yet. The manufacturer seems to be using OpenWRT by default for this device <yet to be confirmed>. This makes the VHA300 a good candidate to support.
Getting started with a new Device Page
- This is an empty template that suggests the information that should be present on a well-constructed Device Page. This means, that you have to fill it with life and information.
- There are several “fixme” tags with text on a light background (like this text) throughout this template. As you fill in the page, remove those tags so that people can judge its completeness.
- When there are no more “fixme” tags left, delete this one too, along with the
<WRAP>
that encloses it.
Keep the articles modular
- Please include only model specific information, omit bla,bla and put everything generic into separate articles
- If you have no time to write certain stuff, link to docs
- base-system should lead the way, do not explain this again
- DO NOT provide a complete howto here! Instead groom the general documentation.
Supported Versions
- The tables below are automatically generated, once the correct filters for Brand and Model are set.
- If the tables below show information other than
VONETS VHA300
, everything is OK and you can delete this text and the<WRAP>
that encloses it. - If the tables below contain “Nothing found”, it means that either
- the dataentry page for VONETS VHA300 is missing. Please create a new dataentry page first, then reload this page. The tables should then contain $something. If they do, delete this text and the
<WRAP>
that encloses it. - filters are not set correctly → Please edit this section and adjust the filters with the proper Brand and Model. Just try, it's easy. The tables should then contain $something. If they do, delete this text and the
<WRAP>
that encloses it.
- If the tables still contain “Nothing found”: Don't panic, calm down, take a deep breath and contact a wiki admin (tmomas) for help.

Installation
Flash Layout
Find out flash layout, then add the flash layout table here (copy, paste, modify the example).
Please check out the article Flash layout. It contains examples and explanations that describe how to document the flash layout.
OEM easy installation
The instructions below are for Broadcom devices and only serve as an example. Remove / modify them if they do not apply to this particular device!
This section deals with
- How you install OpenWrt from a device freshly opened
- The steps required such as reset to factory defaults if the device has already been configured
Note: Reset router to factory defaults if it has been previously configured.
- Browse to
http://192.168.1.1/Upgrade.asp
- Upload .bin file to router
- Wait for it to reboot
- Telnet to 192.168.1.1 and set a root password, or browse to
http://192.168.1.1
if LuCI is installed.

Upgrading OpenWrt
These are generic instructions. Update with your router's specifics.
LuCI Web Upgrade Process
- Browse to
http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/mini/system/upgrade/
LuCI Upgrade URL - Upload image file for sysupgrade to LuCI
- Wait for reboot
Terminal Upgrade Process
If you don't have a GUI (LuCI) available, you can alternatively upgrade via the command line. There are two command line methods for upgrading:
sysupgrade
mtd
Note: It is important that you put the firmware image into the ramdisk (/tmp) before you start flashing.
sysupgrade
- Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands:
cd /tmp wget http://http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/XXX/xxx.abc sysupgrade /tmp/xxx.abc
mtd
If sysupgrade
does not support this router, use mtd
.
- Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands:
cd /tmp wget http://http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/XXX/xxx.abc mtd write /tmp/xxx.abc linux && reboot
