+title: TP-Link SafeLoader partitions
+
+description: |
+ TP-Link home routers store various data on flash (e.g. bootloader,
+ flash layout, firmware, product info, configuration, calibration
+ data). That requires flash partitioning.
+
+ Flash space layout of TP-Link devices is stored on flash itself using
+ a custom ASCII-based format. That format was first found in TP-Link
+ devices with a custom SafeLoader bootloader. Later it was adapted to
+ CFE and U-Boot bootloaders.
+
+ Partitions specified in partitions table cover whole flash space. Some
+ contain static data that shouldn't get modified (device's MAC or WiFi
+ calibration data). Others are semi-static (like kernel). Finally some
+ partitions contain fully changeable content (like rootfs).
+
+ This binding describes partitioning method and defines offset of ASCII
+ based partitions table. That offset is picked at manufacturing process
+ and doesn't change.
