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

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."

This package provides board-specific reference ("cal") data
on an interim basis until included in the upstream distros
While originally conceived for IPQ4019-based boards, similar needs
are appearing with three-radio devices. For some of these devices,
both a board-2.bin file needs to be supplied both for the IPQ4019
as well as for the other radio on the board.
This patch allows new or multiple overrides to be specified by:
* Adding board name to ALLWIFIBOARDS
* Placing file(s) in this directory named as
board-<devicename>.<qca4019|qca9888|qca9984>
* Adding
$(eval $(call generate-ipq-wifi-package,<device>,<display name>))
(along with suitable package selection for the board)
At this time, QCA4019, QCA9888, and QCA9984 are supported.
Extension to other chips should be straightforward.
The existing files, board-*.bin, are "grandfathered" as QCA4019.
The package name has been retained for compatability reasons.
At this time it DEPENDS:=@TARGET_ipq40xx, limiting its visibility.

Added basic support to get the device up and running for a sysupgrade
image only.
There is currently no way back to factory firmware, so this is a one-way
street to OpenWRT.
Install from factory condition is convoluted, and may brick your device:
1) Enable SSH and disable the CLI on the factory device from the web user
interface (Management->Advanced)
2) Reboot the device
3) Override the default, limited SSH shell:
a) Get into the ssh shell:
ssh admin@192.168.1.1 /bin/sh --login
b) Change the dropbear script to disable the limited shell. At the
empty command prompt type:
sed -i '/login_ssh/s/^/#/g’ dropbear
/etc/init.d/dropbear restart
exit
4) ssh in to a (now-) normal OpenWRT SSH session
5) Flash your built image
a) scp openwrt-ipq40xx-engenius_ens620ext-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
admin@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
b) ssh admin@192.168.1.1
c) sysupgrade -n
/tmp/openwrt-ipq40xx-engenius_ens620ext-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
6) After flash completes (it may say "Upgrade failed" followed by
"Upgrade completed") and device reboots, log in to newly flashed
system. Note you will now need to ssh as root rather than admin.

1. Load Ramdisk via U-Boot
To set up the flash memory environment, do the following:
a. As a preliminary step, ensure that the board console port is connected to the PC using these RS232 parameters:
* 115200bps
* 8N1
b. Confirm that the PC is connected to the board using one of the Ethernet ports. Set a static ip 192.168.99.8 for Ethernet that connects to board. The PC must have a TFTP server launched and listening on the interface to which the board is connected. At this stage power up the board and, after a few seconds, press 4 and then any key during the countdown.
U-BOOT> set serverip 192.168.99.8 && set ipaddr 192.168.99.9 && tftpboot 0x84000000 openwrt.itb && bootm
2. Load image via GUI
a. Upgrade EAP1300 to FW v3.5.3.2
In the GUI, System Manager > Firmware > Firmware Upgrade, to do upgrade.
b. Transfer to OpenWrt from EnGenius.
In Firmware Upgrade page, to upgrade yours openwrt-ipq40xx-engenius_eap1300-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin.
3. Revert to EnGenius EAP1300

Keep the ipq-wifi package in case new boards are added. It might take
some time till board-2.bins send upstream are merged.

Don't select the firmware with the board file, it prevents an easy use
of the -ct ath10k firmware. Select the firmware within the default
packages instead.
Remove the per device selection of the firmware now that it the
firmware is selected by default.

- 5 GHz WiFi (Correct MAC-address)
- Factory installation from WebIF
- Factory installation from tftp
- OpenWRT sysupgrade (Preserving and non-preserving)
- LEDs
- Buttons
Not Working:
- AP/Extender toggle-switch
Untested:
- Support on EX6100v2. They share the same GPL-Code and vendor-images.
The 6100v2 seems to lack one 5GHz stream and differs in the 5GHz
board-blob. I only own a EX6150v2, therefore i am only able to verify
functionality on this device.
Install via Web-Interface:
Upload the factory image to the device to the Netgear Web-Interface.
The device might asks you to confirm the update a second time due to
detecting the OpenWRT firmware as older. The device will automatically
reboot after the image is written to flash.
Install via TFTP:
Connect to the devices serial. Hit Enter-Key in bootloader to stop
autobooting. Command "fw_recovery" will start a tftp server, waiting for
a DNI image to be pushed.
Assign your computer the IP-address 192.168.1.10/24. Push image with
tftp -4 -v -m binary 192.168.1.1 -c put <OPENWRT_FACTORY>
Device will erase factory-partition first, then writes the pushed image
to flash and reboots.

WARNING: The serial port needs a TTL/RS-232 3V3 level converter!
The Serial setting is 115200-8-N-1. The board has a populated
1x4 0.1" header with half-height/low profile pins.
The pinout is: VCC (little white arrow), RX, TX, GND.
Flashing needs a serial adaptor, as well as patched ubootwrite utility
(needs Little-Endian support). And a modified u-boot (enabled Ethernet).
Meraki's original u-boot source can be found in:
<https://github.com/riptidewave93/meraki-uboot/tree/mr33-20170427>
Add images to do an installation via bootloader:
0. open up the MR33 and connect the serial console.
1. start the 2nd stage bootloader transfer from client pc:
# ubootwrite.py --write=mr33-uboot.bin
(The ubootwrite tool will interrupt the boot-process and hence
it needs to listen for cues. If the connection is bad (due to
the low-profile pins), the tool can fail multiple times and in
weird ways. If you are not sure, just use a terminal program
and see what the device is doing there.
2. power on the MR33 (with ethernet + serial cables attached)
Warning: Make sure you do this in a private LAN that has
no connection to the internet.
- let it upload the u-boot this can take 250-300 seconds -
3. use a tftp client (in binary mode!) on your PC to upload the sysupgrade.bin
(the u-boot is listening on 192.168.1.1)
# tftp 192.168.1.1
binary
put openwrt-ipq40xx-meraki_mr33-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
4. wait for it to reboot
5. connect to your MR33 via ssh on 192.168.1.1
For more detailed instructions, please take a look at the:
"Flashing Instructions for the MR33" PDF. This can be found
on the wiki: <https://openwrt.org/toh/meraki/mr33>
(A link to the mr33-uboot.bin + the modified ubootwrite is
also there)

Serial:
WARNING: The serial port needs a TTL/RS-232 3V3 level converter!
The Serial setting is 115200-8-N-1. The board has an unpopulated
1x4 0.1" header. The pinout (VDD, RX, GND, TX) is printed on the
PCB right next to the connector.
U-Boot Note: The ethernet driver isn't always reliable and can sometime
time out... Don't worry, just retry.
Access via the serial console is required. As well as a working
TFTP-server setup and the initramfs image. (If not provided, it
has to be built from the OpenWrt source. Make sure to enable
LZMA as the compression for the INITRAMFS!)
To install the image permanently, you have to do the following
steps in the listed order.
1. Open up the router.
There are four phillips screws hiding behind the four plastic
feets on the underside.
2. Connect the serial cable (See notes above)
3. Connect your router via one of the four LAN-ports (yellow)
to a PC which can set the IP-Address and ssh and scp from.
If possible set your PC's IPv4 Address to 192.168.1.70
(As this is the IP-Address the Router's bootloader expects
for the tftp server)
4. power up the router and enter the u-boot
choose option 1 to upload the initramfs image. And follow
through the ipv4 setup.
Wait for your router's status LED to stop blinking rapidly and
glow just blue. (The LAN LED should also be glowing blue).
3. Connect to the OpenWrt running in RAM
The default IPv4-Address of your router will be 192.168.1.1.
1. Copy over the openwrt-sysupgrade.bin image to your router's
temporary directory
# scp openwrt-sysupgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp
2. ssh from your PC into your router as root.
# ssh root@192.168.1.1
The default OpenWrt-Image won't ask for a password. Simply hit the Enter-Key.
Once connected...: run the following commands on your temporary installation
3. delete the "jffs2" ubi partition to make room for your new root partition
# ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 --name=jffs2
4. install OpenWrt on the NAND Flash.
# sysupgrade -v /tmp/openwrt-sysupgrade.bin
- This will will automatically reboot the router -

The BDFs for OpenMesh A42 were upstreamed [1] to the ath10k-firmware
repository and are now part of ath10k-firmware 2018-01-26. The
ipq-wifi-openmesh_a42 package can now be dropped because OpenWrt already
ships the QCA4019 board-2.bin from this version.

There are only artifacts for these boards in our tree and not even
partial support.
Drop teh stale files.
Signed-off-by: Mathias Kresin <dev@kresin.me>
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.
