Known issue:
- QCA9887 doesn't come up (possibly due to 1-lane PCIe phy not coming up or missing method to drive power),
hence the host PCIe controller is disabled in the DTS.
Flash instructions:
Download XMIR Patcher: https://github.com/openwrt-xiaomi/xmir-patcher
First flash a ubinized OpenWrt initramfs that will serve as the intermediate step, since
OpenWrt uses unified rootfs in order to fully utilize NAND and provide enough space for
packages, through either of the below two methods:
Installation via XMIR Patcher:
1. Load the initramfs image: openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-xiaomi_ax6000-initramfs-factory.ubi
Installation via ubiformat method, through SSH:
1. If needed, enable SSH using XMIR Patcher.
2. Copy the file openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-xiaomi_ax6000-initramfs-factory.ubi to the /tmp directory
3. Open an SSH shell to the router
4. Check which rootfs partition is your router booted in (0 = rootfs | 1 = rootfs_1):
nvram get flag_boot_rootfs
5. Find the rootfs and rootfs_1 mtd indexes respectively:
cat /proc/mtd
Please confirm if mtd18 and mtd19 are the correct indexes from above!
6. Use the command ubiformat to flash the opposite mtd with UBI image:
If nvram get flag_boot_rootfs returned 0:
ubiformat /dev/mtd19 -y -f /tmp/openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-xiaomi_ax6000-initramfs-factory.ubi && nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=1 && nvram set flag_last_success=1 && nvram commit
otherwise:
ubiformat /dev/mtd18 -y -f /tmp/openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-xiaomi_ax6000-initramfs-factory.ubi && nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=0 && nvram set flag_last_success=0 && nvram commit
7. Reboot the device by:
reboot
Continue in order to pernamently flash OpenWrt:
1. Upload the sysupgrade image to /tmp/ using SCP:
scp -O <path to image> root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
2. Open an SSH shell to 192.168.1.1 from a PC within the same subnet
3. Use sysupgrade to flash the sysupgrade image:
sysupgrade -n -v /tmp/openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-xiaomi_ax6000-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Device will reboot with OpenWrt, and then sysupgrade can be used to upgrade the device when desired.

Notes:
- This device has dual-boot feature and it's managed by the index in the
0:bootconfig and 0:bootconfig1 partitions.
- There are through-holes on PCB for USB 2.0, but it cannot be accessed
without disassembly of the housing. So it's not enabled in this
support.
- WN-DAX3000GR has the "bt_fw" volume in the firmware UBI in addition to
the volumes that will be removed in the section of ELECOM WRC-X3000GS2
in /lib/upgrade/platform.sh.
That volume is unnecessary for OpenWrt and add
`remove_oem_ubi_volume bt_fw` to remove that volume when sysupgrade.
(that function doesn't anything without errors if no specified volume)

Flash instructions:
1. On OEM firmware, login to the device (typically at http://192.168.1.1) and click 'CA'
in the bottom right corner -> Connectivity -> Manual Upgrade. Alternatively, browse to
http://<router IP>/fwupdate.html.
Upgrade firmware using openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mr5500-squashfs-factory.bin image.
Optionally install on second partition, after first boot check actual partition:
fw_printenv -n boot_part
and install firmware on second partition using command in case of 2:
mtd -r -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mr5500-squashfs-factory.bin kernel
and in case of 1:
mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mr5500-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel
2. Installation using serial connection from OEM firmware (default login: root, password: admin):
fw_printenv -n boot_part
In case of 2:
flash_erase /dev/mtd12 0 0
nandwrite -p /dev/mtd12 openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mr5500-squashfs-factory.bin
or in case of 1:
flash_erase /dev/mtd14 0 0
nandwrite -p /dev/mtd14 openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mr5500-squashfs-factory.bin
After first boot install firmware on second partition:
mtd -r -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mr5500-squashfs-factory.bin kernel
or:
mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mr5500-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel
3. Back to the OEM firmware.
Download firmware from OEM website:
MR5500: https://support.linksys.com/kb/article/207-en/
From serial or SSH:
fw_printenv boot_part
in case of 1:
mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write FW_MR5500_1.1.2.209598_prod.img alt_kernel
else in case of 2:
mtd -r -e kernel -n write FW_MR5500_1.1.2.209598_prod.img kernel
4. Boot from USB
This allows you loading an OpenWrt image into RAM and is meant for recovery scenarios only.
Enable loading image from USB in u-boot. From serial or SSH:
fw_setenv bootusb 'usb start && usbboot &loadaddr && bootm $loadaddr'
fw_setenv bootcmd 'run bootusb; if test $auto_recovery = no; then bootipq; elif test $boot_part = 1; then run bootpart1; else run bootpart2; fi'
Copy OpenWrt initramfs image to USB:
dd bs=1M if=openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mr5500-initramfs-uImage.itb of=/dev/sda

The SPNMX56 is an ISP-branded and distributed device similar to the MX5500
with the same Wifi chips (IPQ5018 for 2.4G and QCN9074 for 5G) but has an
additional QCA8081 PHY providing a 2.5gbps ethernet WAN port.
Speficiations:
* SoC: Qualcomm IPQ5018 (64-bit dual-core ARM Cortex-A53 @ 1.0Ghz)
* Memory: Winbond W634GU6NB-11 (512 MiB DDR3-933)
* Serial Port: 3v3 TTL 115200n8
* Wi-Fi: IPQ5018 (2x2 2.4 Ghz 802.11b/g/n/ax)
QCN9024 (4x4:4 5 Ghz 802.11an/ac/ax)
* Ethernet: IPQ5018 integrated virtual switch connected to an external
QCA8337 switch (3 Ports 10/100/1000 GBASE-T) and a
QCA8081 phy (up to 2.5 Gbps)
* Flash: Gigadevice GD5F2GM7RExxG (256 MiB)
* LEDs: 1x multi-color PWM LED
* Buttons: 1x WPS (GPIO 27 Active Low)
1x Reset (GPIO 28 Acive Low)
Flash instructions:
1. On OEM firmware, login to the device (typically at http://192.168.1.1)
and click 'CA' in the bottom right corner -> Connectivity ->
Manual Upgrade. Alternatively, browse to http://<router IP>/fwupdate.html
Upload openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_spnmx56-squashfs-factory.bin
Optionally flash 2nd partition, after first boot check actual partition:
fw_printenv -n boot_part
and install firmware on second partition using command in case of 2:
mtd -r -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_spnmx56-squashfs-factory.bin kernel
and in case of 1:
mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_spnmx56-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel
2. Installation using serial connection from OEM firmware
hit Enter once booted and enter credentials (login: root, password: admin)
fw_printenv -n boot_part
In case of 2:
flash_erase /dev/mtd12 0 0
nandwrite -p /dev/mtd12 openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_spnmx56-squashfs-factory.bin
or in case of 1:
flash_erase /dev/mtd14 0 0
nandwrite -p /dev/mtd14 openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_spnmx56-squashfs-factory.bin
After first boot install firmware on second partition:
mtd -r -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_spnmx56-squashfs-factory.bin kernel
or:
mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_spnmx56-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel
3. Back to the OEM firmware.
Download firmware from OEM website:
Firmware for this device cannot be searched for on the Linksys website.
Instead, we'd have to use serial to intercept the URL of the firmware
while it's trying to update. Firmware is ISP specific:
Toob (UK): http://download.linksys.com/updates/20241125t080737/FW_MX56TB_1.0.1.216218_prod.img
The intention is to collect URLs for different ISPs on a wiki page.
From serial or SSH:
fw_printenv boot_part
in case of 1:
mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write FW_MX56TB_1.0.1.216218_prod.img alt_kernel
else in case of 2:
mtd -r -e kernel -n write FW_MX56TB_1.0.1.216218_prod.img kernel
