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.

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 EZVIZ CS-W3-WD1200G EUP Hardware: SOC: Qualcomm IPQ4018 RAM: 128 MB Nanya NT5CC64M16GP-DI FLASH: 16 MB Macronix MX25L12805D ETH: Qualcomm QCA8075 (4 Gigabit ports, 3xLAN, 1xWAN) WLAN: Qualcomm IPQ4018 (2.4 & 5 Ghz) BUTTON: Shared WPS/Reset button LED: RGB Status/Power LED SERIAL: Header J8 (UART, Left side of board). Numbered from top to bottom: (1) GND, (2) TX, (3) RX, (4) VCC (White triangle next to it). 3.3v, 115200, 8N1 Tested/Working: * Ethernet * WiFi (2.4 and 5GHz) * Status LED * Reset Button (See note below) Implementation notes: * The shared WPS/Reset button is implemented as a Reset button * I could not find a original firmware image to reverse engineer, meaning currently it's not possible to flash OpenWrt through the Web GUI. Installation (Through Serial console & TFTP): 1. Set your PC to fixed IP 192.168.1.12, Netmask 255.255.255.0, and connect to one of the LAN ports 2. Rename the initramfs image to 'C0A8010B.img' and enable a TFTP server on your pc, to serve the image 2. Connect to the router through serial (See connection properties above) 3. Hit a key during startup, to pause startup 4. type `setenv serverip 192.168.1.12`, to set the tftp server address 5. type `tftpboot`, to load the image from the laptop through tftp 6. type `bootm` to run the loaded image from memory 6. (If you want to return to stock firmware later, create an full MTD backup, e.g. using instructions here https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/generic.backup#create_full_mtd_backup) 7. Transfer the 'sysupgrade' OpenWrt firmware image from PC to router, e.g.: `scp xxx-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/upgrade.bin` 8. Run sysupgrade to permanently install OpenWrt to flash: `sysupgrade -n /tmp/upgrade.bin` Revert to stock: To revert to stock, you need the MTD backup from step 6 above: 1. Unpack the MTD backup archive 2. Transfer the 'firmware' partition image to the router (e.g. mtd8_firmware.backup) 3. On the router, do `mtd write mtd8_firmware.backup firmware` Signed-off-by: Tom Brouwer <tombrouwer@outlook.com> [removed BOARD_NAME, OpenWRT->OpenWrt, changed LED device name to board name] Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@gmail.com>

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. According to the RF Test Report BT BR+EDR, "All models are identical except for the EA8300 supports 256QAM and the EA8250 disable 256QAM." Signed-off-by: Jeff Kletsky <git-commits@allycomm.com>

define Package/ipq-wifi-$(1)/description
The $(2) requires board-specific, reference ("cal") data
that is not yet present in the upstream wireless firmware distribution.
This package supplies board-2.bin file(s) that, in the interim,
overwrite those supplied by the ath10k-firmware-* packages.
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.

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 EZVIZ CS-W3-WD1200G EUP Hardware: SOC: Qualcomm IPQ4018 RAM: 128 MB Nanya NT5CC64M16GP-DI FLASH: 16 MB Macronix MX25L12805D ETH: Qualcomm QCA8075 (4 Gigabit ports, 3xLAN, 1xWAN) WLAN: Qualcomm IPQ4018 (2.4 & 5 Ghz) BUTTON: Shared WPS/Reset button LED: RGB Status/Power LED SERIAL: Header J8 (UART, Left side of board). Numbered from top to bottom: (1) GND, (2) TX, (3) RX, (4) VCC (White triangle next to it). 3.3v, 115200, 8N1 Tested/Working: * Ethernet * WiFi (2.4 and 5GHz) * Status LED * Reset Button (See note below) Implementation notes: * The shared WPS/Reset button is implemented as a Reset button * I could not find a original firmware image to reverse engineer, meaning currently it's not possible to flash OpenWrt through the Web GUI. Installation (Through Serial console & TFTP): 1. Set your PC to fixed IP 192.168.1.12, Netmask 255.255.255.0, and connect to one of the LAN ports 2. Rename the initramfs image to 'C0A8010B.img' and enable a TFTP server on your pc, to serve the image 2. Connect to the router through serial (See connection properties above) 3. Hit a key during startup, to pause startup 4. type `setenv serverip 192.168.1.12`, to set the tftp server address 5. type `tftpboot`, to load the image from the laptop through tftp 6. type `bootm` to run the loaded image from memory 6. (If you want to return to stock firmware later, create an full MTD backup, e.g. using instructions here https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/generic.backup#create_full_mtd_backup) 7. Transfer the 'sysupgrade' OpenWrt firmware image from PC to router, e.g.: `scp xxx-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/upgrade.bin` 8. Run sysupgrade to permanently install OpenWrt to flash: `sysupgrade -n /tmp/upgrade.bin` Revert to stock: To revert to stock, you need the MTD backup from step 6 above: 1. Unpack the MTD backup archive 2. Transfer the 'firmware' partition image to the router (e.g. mtd8_firmware.backup) 3. On the router, do `mtd write mtd8_firmware.backup firmware` Signed-off-by: Tom Brouwer <tombrouwer@outlook.com> [removed BOARD_NAME, OpenWRT->OpenWrt, changed LED device name to board name] Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@gmail.com>

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. According to the RF Test Report BT BR+EDR, "All models are identical except for the EA8300 supports 256QAM and the EA8250 disable 256QAM." Signed-off-by: Jeff Kletsky <git-commits@allycomm.com>
