firmware: add custom IPQ wifi board definitions On the ath10k-devel ML Michael Kazior stated: "board-2 is a key-value store of actual board files. Some devices, notably qca61x4 hw3+ and qca4019 need distinct board files to be uploaded. Otherwise they fail in various ways." [0]. Later on Rajkumar Manoharan explained: "In QCA4019 platform, only radio specific calibration (pre-cal-data) is stored in flash. Board specific contents are read from board-2.bin. For each radio appropriate board data should be loaded. To fetch correct board data from board-2.bin bundle, pre-cal/radio specific caldata should be loaded first to get proper board id. |My understanding until now was that: | | * pre-cal data + board-2.bin info == actual calibration data Correct." [1]. The standard board-2.bin from the ath10k-firmware-qca4019 barely works on the RT-AC58U. Especially 5GHz clients fail to connect at all and if they do, they have very low throughput even right next to the router. Currently, the solution for this problem is to supply a custom board-2.bin for every device. To implement this feature, this method makes use of: Rafał Miłecki's "base-files: add support for overlaying rootfs content". This comes with a few limitations: 1. Since there can only be one board-2.bin at the right location, there can only one board overwrite installed at any time. (All packages CONFLICT with each other. It's also not possible to "builtin" multiple package.) 2. updating ath10k-firmware-qca4019 will also replace the board-2.bin. For this cases the user needs to manually reinstall the wifi-board package once the ath10k-firmware-qca4019 is updated. To create the individual board-2.bin: Use the ath10k-bdencoder utility from the qca-swiss-army-knife repository: <https://github.com/qca/qca-swiss-army-knife> The raw board.bin files have to be extracted from the vendor's source GPL.tar archieves.

ipq40xx: Add support for D-Link DAP-2610 Specifications ============== - SOC: IPQ4018 - RAM: DDR3 256MB - Flash: SPI NOR 16MB - WiFi: - 2.4GHz: IPQ4018, 2x2, front end SKY85303-11 - 5GHz: IPQ4018, 2x2, front end SKY85717-21 - Ethernet: 1x 10/100/1000Mbps, POE 802.3af - PHY: QCA8072 - UART: GND, blocked, 3.3V, RX, TX / 115200 8N1 - LED: 1x red / green - Button: 1x reset / factory default - U-Boot bootloader with tftp and "emergency web server" accessible using serial port. Installation ============ Flash factory image from D-Link web UI. Constraints in the D-Link web UI makes the factory image unnecessarily large. Flash again using sysupgrade from inside OpenWrt to reclaim some flash space. Return to stock D-Link firmware =============================== Partition layout is preserved, and it is possible to return to the stock firmware simply by downloading it from D-Link and writing it to the firmware partition. # mtd -r write dap2610-firmware.bin firmware Quirks ====== To be flashable from the D-Link http server, the firmware must be larger then 6MB, and the size in the firmware header must match the actual file size. Also, the boot loader verifies the checksum of the firmware before each boot, thus the jffs2 must be after the checksum covered part. This is solved in the factory image by having the rootfs at the very end of the image (without pad-rootfs). The sysupgrade image which does not have to be flashable from the D-Link web UI may be smaller, and the checksum in the firmware header only covers the kernel part of the image.

ipq40xx: add support for devolo Magic 2 WiFi next SOC: IPQ4018 / QCA Dakota CPU: Quad-Core ARMv7 Processor rev 5 (v71) Cortex-A7 DRAM: 256 MiB NOR: 32 MiB ETH: Qualcomm Atheros QCA8075 (2 ports) PLC: MaxLinear G.hn 88LX5152 WLAN1: Qualcomm Atheros QCA4018 2.4GHz 802.11bgn 2:2x2 WLAN2: Qualcomm Atheros QCA4018 5GHz 802.11a/n/ac 2:2x2 INPUT: RESET, WiFi, PLC Button LEDS: red/white home, white WiFi To modify a retail device to run OpenWRT firmware: 1) Setup a TFTP server on IP address 192.168.0.100 and copy the OpenWRT initramfs (initramfs-fit-uImage.itb) to the TFTP root as 'uploadfile'. 2) Power on the device while pressing the recessed reset button next to the Ethernet ports. This causes the bootloader to retrieve and start the initramfs. 3) Once the initramfs is booted, the device will come up with IP 192.168.1.1. You can then connect through SSH (allow some time for the first connection). 4) On the device shell, run 'fw_printenv' to show the U-boot environment. Backup this information since it contains device unique factory data. 5) Change the boot command to support booting OpenWRT: # fw_setenv bootcmd 'sf probe && sf read 0x84000000 0x180000 0x400000 && bootm' 6) Change directory to /tmp, download the sysupgrade (e.g. through wget) and install it with sysupgrade. The device will reboot into OpenWRT. Notice that there is currently no support for booting the G.hn chip. This requires userland software we lack the rights to share right now.

ipq806x: add Edgecore ECW5410 support This patch adds support for the Edgecore ECW5410 indoor AP. Specification: - SoC: Qualcomm Atheros IPQ8068 ARMv7 2x Cortex A-15 - RAM: 256MB(225 usable) DDR3 - NOR Flash: 16MB SPI NOR - NAND Flash: 128MB S34MS01G2 Parallel NAND - Ethernet: 2 x 1G via 2x AR8033 PHY-s connected directly to GMAC2 and GMAC3 via SGMII (802.3af POE IN on eth0) - USB: 1 x USB 3.0 SuperSpeed - WLAN: 2x QCA9994 AC Wawe 2 (1x 2GHz bgn, 1x 5GHz acn) - CC2540 BLE - UART console on RJ45 next to ethernet ports exposed. Its Cisco pin compatible, 115200 8n1 baud. Installation instructions: Through stock firmware or initramfs. 1.Connect to console 2. Login with root account, if password is unknown then interrupt the boot with f and reset it in failsafe. 3. Transfer factory image 4. Flash the image with ubiformat /dev/mtd1 -y -f <your factory image path> This will replace the rootfs2 with OpenWrt, if you are currently running from rootfs2 then simply change /dev/mtd1 to /dev/mtd0 Note Initramfs: 1. Connect to console 2. Transfer the image from TFTP server with tftpboot, or by using DHCP advertised image with dhcp command. 3. bootm 4. Run ubiformat /dev/mtd1 You need to interrupt the bootloader after rebooting and run: run altbootcmd This will switch your active rootfs partition to one you wrote to and boot from it. So if rootfs1 is active, then it will change it to rootfs2. This will format the rootfs2 partition, if your active partition is 2 then simply change /dev/mtd1 with /dev/mtd0 If you dont format the partition you will be writing too, then sysupgrade will find existing UBI rootfs and kernel volumes and update those. This will result in wrong ordering and OpenWrt will panic on boot. 5. Transfer sysupgrade image 6. Flash with sysupgrade -n. Note that sysupgrade will write the image to rootfs partition that is not currently in use. Signed-off-by: Robert Marko <robert.marko@sartura.hr>

ipq40xx: Add support for Linksys EA8300 (Dallas) The Linksys EA8300 is based on QCA4019 and QCA9888 and provides three, independent radios. NAND provides two, alternate kernel/firmware images with fail-over provided by the OEM U-Boot. Installation: "Factory" images may be installed directly through the OEM GUI. Hardware Highlights: * IPQ4019 at 717 MHz (4 CPUs) * 256 MB NAND (Winbond W29N02GV, 8-bit parallel) * 256 MB RAM * Three, fully-functional radios; `iw phy` reports (FCC/US, -CT): * 2.4 GHz radio at 30 dBm * 5 GHz radio on ch. 36-64 at 23 dBm * 5 GHz radio on ch. 100-144 at 23 dBm (DFS), 149-165 at 30 dBm #{ managed } <= 16, #{ AP, mesh point } <= 16, #{ IBSS } <= 1 * All two-stream, MCS 0-9 * 4x GigE LAN, 1x GigE Internet Ethernet jacks with port lights * USB3, single port on rear with LED * WPS and reset buttons * Four status lights on top * Serial pads internal (unpopulated) "Linksys Dallas WiFi AP router based on Qualcomm AP DK07.1-c1" Implementation Notes: The OEM flash layout is preserved at this time with 3 MB kernel and ~69 MB UBIFS for each firmware version. The sysdiag (1 MB) and syscfg (56 MB) partitions are untouched, available as read-only. Serial Connectivity: Serial connectivity is *not* required to flash. Serial may be accessed by opening the device and connecting a 3.3-V adapter using 115200, 8n1. U-Boot access is good, including the ability to load images over TFTP and either run or flash them. Looking at the top of the board, from the front of the unit, J3 can be found on the right edge of the board, near the rear | J3 | |-| | |O| | (3.3V seen, open-circuit) |O| | TXD |O| | RXD |O| | |O| | GND |-| | | Unimplemented: * serial1 "ttyQHS0" (serial0 works as console) * Bluetooth; Qualcomm CSR8811 (potentially conected to serial1) Other Notes: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Linksys_EA8300 states FCC docs also cover the Linksys EA8250.

ipq40xx: add support for P&W R619AC (aka G-DOCK 2.0) P&W R619AC is a IPQ4019 Dual-Band AC1200 router. It is made by P&W (p2w-tech.com) known as P&W R619AC but marketed and sold more popularly as G-DOCK 2.0. Specification: * SOC: Qualcomm Atheros IPQ4019 (717 MHz) * RAM: 512 MiB * Flash: 16 MiB (NOR) + 128 MiB (NAND) * Ethernet: 5 x 10/100/1000 (4 x LAN, 1 x WAN) * Wireless: - 2.4 GHz b/g/n Qualcomm Atheros IPQ4019 - 5 GHz a/n/ac Qualcomm Atheros IPQ4019 * USB: 1 x USB 3.0 * LED: 4 x LAN, 1 x WAN, 2 x WiFi, 1 x Power (All Blue LED) * Input: 1 x reset * 1 x MicroSD card slot * Serial console: 115200bps, pinheader J2 on PCB * Power: DC 12V 2A * 1 x Unpopulated mPCIe Slot (see below how to connect it) * 1 x Unpopulated Sim Card Slot Installation: 1. Access to tty console via UART serial 2. Enter failsafe mode and mount rootfs <https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/troubleshooting/failsafe_and_factory_reset> 3. Edit inittab to enable shell on tty console `sed -i 's/#ttyM/ttyM/' /etc/inittab` 4. Reboot and upload `-nand-factory.bin` to the router (using wget) 5. Use `sysupgrade` command to install Another installation method is to hijack the upgrade server domain of stock firmware, because it's using insecure http. This commit is based on @LGA1150(at GitHub)'s work <https://github.com/LGA1150/openwrt/commit/a4932c8d5a275d1fb4297bd20ec03f9270a45d1c> With some changes: 1. Added `qpic_bam` node in dts. I don't know much about this, but I observed other dtses have this node. 2. Removed `ldo` node under `sd_0_pinmux`, because `ldo` cause SD card not working. This fix is from <https://github.com/coolsnowwolf/lede/commit/51143b4c7571f717afe071db60bbb4db1532cbf2> 3. Removed the 32MB NOR variant. 4. Removed `cd-gpios` in `sdhci` node, because it's reported that it makes wlan2g led light up. 5. Added ethphy led config in dts. 6. Changed nand partition label from `rootfs` to `ubi`. About the 128MiB variant: The stock bootloader sets size of nand to 64MiB. But most of this devices have 128MiB nand. If you want to use all 128MiB, you need to modify the `MIBIB` data of bootloader. More details can be found on github: <https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/3691#issuecomment-818770060> For instructions on how to flash the MIBIB partition from u-boot console: <https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/3691#issuecomment-819138232> About the Mini PCIe slot: (from "ygleg") "The REFCLK signals on the Mini PCIe slot is not connected on this board out of the box. If you want to use the Mini PCIe slot on the board, you need to (preferably) solder two 0402 resistors: R436 (REFCLK+) and R444 (REFCLK-)..."

This causes the bootloader to retrieve and start the initramfs. 3) Once the initramfs is booted, the device will come up with IP 192.168.1.1. You can then connect through SSH (allow some time for the first connection). 4) On the device shell, run 'fw_printenv' to show the U-boot environment. Backup this information since it contains device unique factory data. 5) Change the boot command to support booting OpenWRT: # fw_setenv bootcmd 'sf probe && sf read 0x84000000 0x180000 0x400000 && bootm' 6) Change directory to /tmp, download the sysupgrade (e.g. through wget) and install it with sysupgrade. The device will reboot into OpenWRT. Notice that there is currently no support for booting the G.hn chip. This requires userland software we lack the rights to share right now.

Specification: - SoC: Qualcomm Atheros IPQ8068 ARMv7 2x Cortex A-15 - RAM: 256MB(225 usable) DDR3 - NOR Flash: 16MB SPI NOR - NAND Flash: 128MB S34MS01G2 Parallel NAND - Ethernet: 2 x 1G via 2x AR8033 PHY-s connected directly to GMAC2 and GMAC3 via SGMII (802.3af POE IN on eth0) - USB: 1 x USB 3.0 SuperSpeed - WLAN: 2x QCA9994 AC Wawe 2 (1x 2GHz bgn, 1x 5GHz acn) - CC2540 BLE - UART console on RJ45 next to ethernet ports exposed. Its Cisco pin compatible, 115200 8n1 baud. Installation instructions: Through stock firmware or initramfs. 1.Connect to console 2. Login with root account, if password is unknown then interrupt the boot with f and reset it in failsafe. 3. Transfer factory image 4. Flash the image with ubiformat /dev/mtd1 -y -f <your factory image path> This will replace the rootfs2 with OpenWrt, if you are currently running from rootfs2 then simply change /dev/mtd1 to /dev/mtd0 Note Initramfs: 1. Connect to console 2. Transfer the image from TFTP server with tftpboot, or by using DHCP advertised image with dhcp command. 3. bootm 4. Run ubiformat /dev/mtd1 You need to interrupt the bootloader after rebooting and run: run altbootcmd This will switch your active rootfs partition to one you wrote to and boot from it. So if rootfs1 is active, then it will change it to rootfs2. This will format the rootfs2 partition, if your active partition is 2 then simply change /dev/mtd1 with /dev/mtd0 If you dont format the partition you will be writing too, then sysupgrade will find existing UBI rootfs and kernel volumes and update those. This will result in wrong ordering and OpenWrt will panic on boot. 5. Transfer sysupgrade image 6. Flash with sysupgrade -n. Note that sysupgrade will write the image to rootfs partition that is not currently in use. Signed-off-by: Robert Marko <robert.marko@sartura.hr>

Edit inittab to enable shell on tty console `sed -i 's/#ttyM/ttyM/' /etc/inittab` 4. Reboot and upload `-nand-factory.bin` to the router (using wget) 5. Use `sysupgrade` command to install Another installation method is to hijack the upgrade server domain of stock firmware, because it's using insecure http. This commit is based on @LGA1150(at GitHub)'s work <https://github.com/LGA1150/openwrt/commit/a4932c8d5a275d1fb4297bd20ec03f9270a45d1c> With some changes: 1. Added `qpic_bam` node in dts. I don't know much about this, but I observed other dtses have this node. 2. Removed `ldo` node under `sd_0_pinmux`, because `ldo` cause SD card not working. This fix is from <https://github.com/coolsnowwolf/lede/commit/51143b4c7571f717afe071db60bbb4db1532cbf2> 3. Removed the 32MB NOR variant. 4. Removed `cd-gpios` in `sdhci` node, because it's reported that it makes wlan2g led light up. 5. Added ethphy led config in dts. 6. Changed nand partition label from `rootfs` to `ubi`. About the 128MiB variant: The stock bootloader sets size of nand to 64MiB. But most of this devices have 128MiB nand. If you want to use all 128MiB, you need to modify the `MIBIB` data of bootloader.

Click update, when warned that it is not a signed image proceed Return to stock firmware: 1. Set PC to fixed ip address 192.168.1.100 2. Push reset button and power on the device 3. Open u-boot HTTP recovery at http://192.168.1.1 4. Upload latest stock firmware and wait until the device is rebooted Note: The DTS expects OpenWrt to be running from the second rootfs partition. u-boot on these devices hot-patches the DTS so running from the first rootfs partition should also be possible. If you want to be save follow the instructions above. u-boot HTTP recovery restores the device so that when flashing OpenWrt from stock firmware it is flashed to the second rootfs partition and the DTS matches.

firmware: add custom IPQ wifi board definitions On the ath10k-devel ML Michael Kazior stated: "board-2 is a key-value store of actual board files. Some devices, notably qca61x4 hw3+ and qca4019 need distinct board files to be uploaded. Otherwise they fail in various ways." [0]. Later on Rajkumar Manoharan explained: "In QCA4019 platform, only radio specific calibration (pre-cal-data) is stored in flash. Board specific contents are read from board-2.bin. For each radio appropriate board data should be loaded. To fetch correct board data from board-2.bin bundle, pre-cal/radio specific caldata should be loaded first to get proper board id. |My understanding until now was that: | | * pre-cal data + board-2.bin info == actual calibration data Correct." [1]. The standard board-2.bin from the ath10k-firmware-qca4019 barely works on the RT-AC58U. Especially 5GHz clients fail to connect at all and if they do, they have very low throughput even right next to the router. Currently, the solution for this problem is to supply a custom board-2.bin for every device. To implement this feature, this method makes use of: Rafał Miłecki's "base-files: add support for overlaying rootfs content". This comes with a few limitations: 1. Since there can only be one board-2.bin at the right location, there can only one board overwrite installed at any time. (All packages CONFLICT with each other.
