| mtd8 | 15a80000 | 00040000 | "zyubi" |
The router boots BL2 which than loads FIP (u-boot).
U-boot has hardcoded a command to always launch Zloader "mtd read zloader 0x46000000" and than "bootm". Bootargs are deactivated.
Zloader is the zyxel booloader which allow to dual-boot ubi or ubi2, by default access to zloader is blocked.
Too zloader checks that the firmware contains a particolar file called zyfwinfo.
Additional details regarding Zloader can be found here:

Installation
------------
Keep in mind that openwrt can only run on the UBI partition, the openwrt firmware is not able to understand the zloader bootargs.
The procedure allows restoring the UBI partition with the Zyxel firmware and retains all the OEM functionalities.
1. Unlock Zloader (this will allow to swap manually between partitions UBI and UBI2):
- Attach a usb-ttl adapter to your computer and boot the router.
- While the router is booting at some point you will read the following: `Please press Enter to activate this console.`
- As soon as you read that press enter, type root and than press enter again (just do it, don't care about the logs scrolling).
- Most likely the router is still printing the boot log, leave it boot until it stops.
- If everything went ok you should have full root access "root@EX5601-T0:/#".
- Type the following command and press enter: "fw_setenv EngDebugFlag 0x1".
- Reboot the router.
- As soon as you read `Hit any key to stop autoboot:` press Enter.
- If everything went ok you should have the following prompt: "ZHAL>".
- You have successfully unlocked zloader access, this procedure must be done only once.
2. Check the current active partition:
- Boot the router and repeat the steps above to gain root access.
- Type the following command to check the current active image: "cat /proc/cmdline".
- If `rootubi=ubi` it means that the active partition is `mtd6`
- If `rootubi=ubi2` it means that the active partition is `mtd7`
- As mentioned earlier we need to flash openwrt into ubi/mtd6 and never overwrite ubi2/mtd7 to be able to fully roll-back.
- To activate and boot from mtd7 (ubi2) enter into ZHAL> command prompt and type the following commands:
atbt 1 # unlock write
atsw # swap boot partition
atsr # reboot the router
- After rebooting check again with "cat /proc/cmdline" that you are correctly booting from mtd7/ubi2
- If yes proceed with the installation guide. If not probably you don't have a firmware into ubi2 or you did something wrong.
3. Flashing:
- Download the sysupgrade file for the router from openwrt, than we need to add the zyfwinfo file into the sysupgrade tar.
Zloader only checks for the magic (which is a fixed value 'EXYZ') and the crc of the file itself (256bytes).
I created a script to create a valid zyfwinfo file but you can use anything that does exactly the same:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pameruoso/OpenWRT-Zyxel-EX5601-T0/main/gen_zyfwinfo.sh
- Add the zyfwinfo file into the sysupgrade tar.
- Enter via telnet or ssh into the router with admin credentials
- Enter the following commands to disable the firmware and model checks
"zycli fwidcheck off" and "zycli modelcheck off"
- Open the router web interface and in the update firmware page select the "restore default settings option"
- Select the sysupgrade file and click on upload.
- The router will flash and reboot itself into openwrt from UBI
4. Restoring and going back to Zyxel firmware.
- Use the ZHAL> command line to manually swap the boot parition to UBI2 with the following:
atbt 1 # unlock write
atsw # swap boot partition
atsr # reboot the router
- You will boot again the Zyxel firmware you have into UBI2 and you can flash the zyxel firmware to overwrite the UBI partition and openwrt.
Working features
----------------
3 gbit lan ports
Wifi
Zyxel partitioning for coexistance with Zloader and dual boot.
WAN SFP port (only after exporting pins 57 and 10. gpiobase411)
leds
reset button
serial interface
usb port
lan ethernet 2.5 gbit port (autosense)
wan ethernet 2.5 gbit port (autosense)
Not working
----------------
voip (missing drivers or proper zyxel platform software)
Swapping the wan ethernet/sfp xor port
----------------
The way to swap the wan port between sfp and ethernet is the following:
export the pins 57 and 10.
Pin 57 is used to probe if an sfp is present.
If pin 57 value is 0 it means that an sfp is present into the cage (cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio468/value).
If pin 57 value is 1 it means that no sfp is inserted into the cage.
In conclusion by default both 57 an 10 pins are by default 1, which means that the active port is the ethernet one.
After inserting an SFP pin 57 will become 0 and you have to manually change the value of pin 10 to 0 too.
This is totally scriptable of course.
Leds description
------------
All the leds are working out of the box but the leds managed by the 2 maxlinear phy (phy 5 lan, phy6 wan).
To activate the phy5 led (rj45 ethernet port led on the back of the router) you have to use mdio-tools.
To activate the phy6 led (led on the front of the router for 2.5gbit link) you have to use mdio-tools.
Example:
Set lan5 led to fast blink on 2500/1000, slow blink on 10/100:
mdio mdio-bus mmd 5:30 raw 0x0001 0x33FC
Set wan 2.5gbit led to constant on when wan is 2.5gbit:
mdio mdio-bus mmd 6:30 raw 0x0001 0x0080

We need to reset KERNEL_LOADADDR if we use it on a per-device base.

This variant uses xiaomi factory u-boot and modified u-boot-env &
bootcmd.
By modifying uboot-env, the xiaomi firmware recovery provided in
the vendor u-boot doesn't work anymore. It's possible to put
u-boot into a state where it refuese to take any serial input.
If the u-boot is in this state, users can't restore their
firmware without taking the flash off the board.
We now have a -stock variant where the vendor u-boot is used in
a way that xiaomi firmware recovery still works, and a -ubootmod
variant where we get rid of all xiaomi components, have more
usable space and no uart console lock. These two should cover all
use cases and we don't need this variant anymore.

This new layout is only bootable with OpenWrt U-Boot. It reuses the

Signed-off-by: Furong Xu <xfr@outlook.com>
In this implementation, the flash partition layout is adjusted to avoid
modifying the uboot environment of mtdparts. This ensures that the 30M
ubi_kernel partition remains aligned with the stock ubi partition, and
the kernel volume is placed in it. This allows the stock uboot to boot
from it without changing the mtdparts, which is useful for reverting back
to the stock firmware using Xiaomi Firmware Tools. In actual testing,
modifying mtdparts has been found to break Xiaomi Firmware Tools.
1. use ARTIFACTS to generate initramfs-factory.ubi for easy installation.
2. The NAND flash layout is changed to allow for reverting back to the
stock firmware.
3. Before performing sysupgrade, do some cleanup in platform_pre_upgrade
to ensure a clean installation of OpenWRT.
4. Setup the uboot env to ensure that the system always boot, which can
be helpful for users who may forget to do this before sysupgrade in
the initramfs.
New flash instructions:
1. Gain ssh access. Please refer to:
https://openwrt.org/toh/xiaomi/redmi_ax6000#installation)
2. Check which system current u-boot is loading from:
COMMAND: `cat /proc/cmdline`
sample OUTPUT: `console=ttyS0,115200n1 loglevel=8 firmware=1 uart_en=1`
if firmware=1, current system is ubi1
if firmware=0, current system is ubi0
3. Setup nvram and write the firmware:
If the current system is ubi1, please set it up so that the next time
it will boot from ubi, and write the firmware to ubi:
```
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set uart_en=1
nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=0
nvram set flag_last_success=0
nvram set flag_boot_success=1
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=0
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit

```
If the current system is ubi, please set it up so that the next time
it will boot from ubi1, and write the firmware to ubi1:
```
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set uart_en=1
nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=1
nvram set flag_last_success=1
nvram set flag_boot_success=1
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=0
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
ubiformat /dev/mtd9 -y -f /tmp/initramfs-factory.ubi
```
4. After rebooting, the system should now boot into the openwrt initramfs.
Flash the squashfs-sysupgrade.bin via using ssh or luci.
```
sysupgrade -n /tmp/squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
```
Done.
For existing users of the Redmi AX6000 running OpenWrt, here are the steps to

1. Flash initramfs-factory.ubi
```
mtd -r -e ubi write /tmp/initramfs-factory.ubi ubi

The Bananapi BPi-R3 is a development router board built around the
MediaTek Filogic 830 (MT7986A) SoC.
The board can boot either from microSD, SPI-NAND, SPI-NOR or eMMC.
Only either SPI-NAND or SPI-NOR can be used at the same time, also only
either microSD or eMMC can be used. The various storage options can be
selected using small SMD switches on the board.

but only the AX6S is widely installation-capable at this time.
SoC: MediaTek MT7622B
RAM: DDR3 256 MiB (ESMT M15T2G16128A)
Flash: SPI-NAND 128 MiB (ESMT F50L1G41LB or Gigadevice GD5F1GQ5xExxG)
WLAN: 2.4/5 GHz 4T4R
2.4 GHz: MediaTek MT7622B
5 GHz: MediaTek MT7915E
Ethernet: 4x 10/100/1000 Mbps
Switch: MediaTek MT7531B
LEDs/Keys: 2/2 (Internet + System LED, Mesh button + Reset pin)
UART: Marked J1 on board VCC RX GND TX, beginning from "1". 3.3v, 115200n8
Power: 12 VDC, 1.5 A
Notes:
U-Boot passes through the ethaddr from uboot-env partition,
but also has been known to reset it to a generic mac address
hardcoded in the bootloader.
However, bdata is also populated with the ethernet mac addresses,
but is also typically never written to. Thus this is used instead.
Installation:
1. Flash stock Xiaomi "closed beta" image labelled
'miwifi_rb03_firmware_stable_1.2.7_closedbeta.bin'.
(MD5: 5eedf1632ac97bb5a6bb072c08603ed7)
2. Calculate telnet password from serial number and login
3. Execute commands to prepare device
nvram set ssh_en=1
nvram set uart_en=1
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set flag_boot_success=1
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=0
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
4. Download and flash image
On computer:
python -m http.server
On router:
cd /tmp
wget http://<IP>:8000/factory.bin
mtd -r write factory.bin firmware
Device should reboot at this point.
Reverting to stock:
Stock Xiaomi recovery tftp that accepts their signed images,
with default ips of 192.168.31.1 + 192.168.31.100.
Stock image should be renamed to tftp server ip in hex (Eg. C0A81F64.img)
Triggered by holding reset pin on powerup.
A simple implementation of this would be via dnsmasq's
dhcp-boot option or using the vendor's (Windows only)

There are multiple ways to install OpenWrt on this device.
Boot ramdisk from U-Boot
----------------------------
This will load the image and not write it into the flash.
1. Stop boot menu with "space" key
2. Select "System Load Linux to SDRAM via TFTP."
3. Load this image:
openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-buffalo_wsr-2533dhp2-initramfs-kernel.bin
4. The system boots the image
Write to flash from U-Boot
-----------------------------
This will load the image over tftp and directly write it into the flash.
1. Stop boot menu with "space" key
2. Select "System Load Linux Kernel then write to Flash via TFTP."
3. Load this image:
openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-buffalo_wsr-2533dhp2-squashfs-factory-uboot.bin
4. The system writes this image into the flash and boots into it.
Write to flash from Web UI
-----------------------------
This will load the image over over the Web UI and write it into the flash
1. Open the Web UI
2. Go to "管理" -> "ファームウェア更新"
3. Select "ローカルファイル指定" and click "更新実行"
4. Load this image:
openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-buffalo_wsr-2533dhp2-squashfs-factory.bin
5. The system writes this image into the flash and boots into it.

**What's new**
* Bring support for the Bananapi BPi-R64 to the level desirable for
a nice hackable routerboard.
* Use ARM Trusted Firmware A from source. (goodbye binary preloader)
* Use Das U-Boot from source. (see previous commit)
* Assemble SD-card image using OpenWrt image-commands.
(no gen_sd_cruz_foo.sh added, this is not Raspbian)
* Updated kernel options to support root filesystem.
* Updated DTS to match OpenWrt LAN ports, known LEDs, buttons, ...
* Detect root device, handle sysupgrade, config restore, ...
* Wire up (known) LEDs and buttons in OpenWrt-fashion.
* Build one set of images from SD-card and eMMC.
* Hopefully provide a good example of how things can be done right
from scratch.
**Installation and images**
* Have an empty SD-card at hand
* Write stuff to the card, as root (card device is /dev/mmcblkX)
- write header, gpt, bl2, atf, u-boot and recovery kernel:
`cat *bpi-r64-boot-sdcard.img *bpi-r64-initramfs-recovery.fit > /dev/mmcblkX`
- rescan partitions:
`blockdev --rereadpt /dev/mmcblkX`
- write main system to production partition:
`cat *bpi-r64-squashfs-sysupgrade.fit > /dev/mmcblkXp5`
* Installation to eMMC works using SD-card bootloader via TFTP
When running OpenWrt of SD-card, issue this to trigger installation
to eMMC:
`fw_setenv bootcmd run emmc_init`
Be prepared to serve the content of bin/targets/mediatek/mt7622 on
TFTP server address 192.168.1.254.
**What's missing**
* The red LED is always on, probably a hardware bug.
* AHCI (probably needs DTS changes)
* Ship SD-card image ready with every needed for eMMC install.
* The eMMC has a second, currently unused boot partition. This would
be ideal to store the WiFi EEPROM and Ethernet MAC address(es).

The vendor flash layout of the Linksys E8450 is problematic as it uses
the SPI-NAND chip without any wear-leveling while at the same time
wasting a lot of space for padding.
Use an all-UBI layout instead, storing the kernel+dtb+squashfs in
uImage.FIT standard format in UBI volume 'fit', the read-write
overlay in UBI volume 'rootfs_data' as well as reduntant U-Boot
environments 'ubootenv' and 'ubootenv2', and a 'recovery'
kernel+dtb+initramfs uImage.FIT for dual-boot.
** WARNING **
THIS PROCEDURE CAN EASILY BRICK YOUR DEVICE PERMANENTLY IF NOT CARRIED
OUT VERY CAREFULLY AND EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED!
Step 0
* Configure your PC to have the static IPv4 address 192.168.1.254/24
* Provide bin/targets/mediatek/mt7622 via TFTP
Now continue EITHER with step 1A or 1B, depending on your preference
(and on having serial console wired up or not).
Step 1A (Using the vendor web interface (or non-UBI OpenWrt install))
In order to update to the new bootloader and UBI-based firmware,
use the web browser of your choice to open the routers web-interface
accessible on http://192.168.1.1
* Navigate to
'Configuration' -> 'Administration' -> 'Firmware Upgrade'
* Upload the file
openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-initramfs-recovery.itb
and proceed with the upgrade.
* Once OpenWrt comes up, use SCP to upload the new bootloader files to
/tmp on the router:
*-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-preloader.bin
*-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-bl31-uboot.fip
* Connect via SSH as you will now need to replace the bootloader in
the Flash.
ssh root@192.168.1.1
(the usual warnings)
* First of all, backup all the flash now:
for mtd in /dev/mtdblock*; do
dd if=$mtd of=/tmp/$(basename $mtd);
done
* Then use SCP to copy /tmp/mtdblock* from the router and keep them
safe. You will need them should you ever want to return to the
factory firmware!
* Now flow the uploaded files:
mtd -e /dev/mtd0 write /tmp/*linksys_e8450-ubi-preloader.bin /dev/mtd0
mtd -e /dev/mtd1 write /tmp/*linksys_e8450-ubi-bl31-uboot.fip /dev/mtd1
If and only if both writes look like the completed successfully
reboot the router. Now continue with step 2.
Step 1B (Using the vendor bootloader serial console)
* Use the serial to backup all /dev/mtd* devices before using the
stock firmware (you got root shell when connected to serial).
* Then reboot and select 'U-Boot Console' in the boot menu.
* Copy the following lines, one by one:
tftpboot 0x40080000 openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-preloader.bin
tftpboot 0x40100000 openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-bl31-uboot.fip
nand erase 0x0 0x180000
nand write 0x40080000 0x0 0x180000
reset
Now continue with step 2
Step 2
Once the new bootchain comes up, the loader will initialize UBI and the
ubootenv volumes. It will then of course fail to find any bootable
volume and hence resort to load kernel via TFTP from server
192.168.1.254 while giving itself the address 192.168.1.1
The requested file is called
openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-initramfs-recovery.itb
and your TFTP server should provide exactly that :)
It will be written to UBI as recovery image and booted.
You can then continue and flash the production OS image, either
by using sysupgrade in the booted initramfs recovery OS, or by using
the bootloader menu and TFTP.
That's it. Go ahead and mess around with a bootchain built almost
completely from source (only DRAM calibration blobs are fitted in bl2,
and the irreplacable on-chip ROM loader remains, of course).
And enjoy U-Boot built with many great features out-of-the-box.
You can access the bootloader environment from within OpenWrt using the
'fw_printenv' and 'fw_setenv' commands. Don't be afraid, once you got
the new bootchain installed the device should be fairly unbrickable
(holding reset button before and during power-on resets things and
allows reflashing recovery image via TFTP)
Special thanks to @dvn0 (Devan Carpenter) for providing amazingly fast
infra for test-builds, allowing for `make clean ; make -j$(nproc)` in

support for building seperate ramdisk to uImage.FIT with a dedicated
initrd blob checked and loaded by U-Boot instead of embedding the
cpio archive into the kernel itself.
This allows for having larger ramdisks, choosing ramdisk compression
independently of kernel compression (while only kernel is decompressed
by the bootloader) and for more easily replacing or modifying the
filesystem contained in an initramfs image.

Instead of adding those device tree sources using a patch, simply move
them to the newly created dts folder.

Use approach suggested by Adrian Schmutzler instead of introducing
another device variable.
Also revert the unnecessary white-space changes accidentally introduced
by the previous commit.

Use dedicated dts folder like on ramips to store device tree source
files for boards not already supported in vanilla Linux.
Doing so instead of having them in files-* has several advantages:
* we don't need to duplicate them for several kernel versions
* changes to a device tree don't trigger a complete kernel rebuild
* the files are more obvious to find

Opening the case
----------------
Opening the case is not a nice task, as itis glued together. Insert a
flat knife between the front and back casing below the ethernet port.
Open up a gap this way and insert a flat scredriver, remove the knife.
Work your way around the casing by applying force to seperate the front
and back casing. This losens the glue and opens the plastic clips. Be
gentle, as these clips are very cheap and break quickly.
Installation
------------
1. Connect to the booted device at 192.168.1.20 using username/password
"ubnt".
2. Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the device using SCP.
3. Check the mtd partition number for bs / kernel0 / kernel1
$ cat /proc/mtd
4. Set the bootselect flag to boot from kernel0
$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=1 of=/dev/mtdblock6
5. Write the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to both kernel0 as well as kernel1
$ dd if=openwrt.bin of=/dev/mtdblock8
$ dd if=openwrt.bin of=/dev/mtdblock9
6. Reboot the device. It should boot into OpenWrt.

The majority of our targets provide a default value for the variable
SUPPORTED_DEVICES, which is used in images to check against the
compatible on a running device:
SUPPORTED_DEVICES := $(subst _,$(comma),$(1))
At the moment, this is implemented in the Device/Default block of
the individual targets or even subtargets. However, since we
standardized device names and compatible in the recent past, almost
all targets are following the same scheme now:
device/image name: vendor_model
compatible: vendor,model
The equal redundant definitions are a symptom of this process.
Consequently, this patch moves the definition to image.mk making it
a global default. For the few targets not using the scheme above,
SUPPORTED_DEVICES will be defined to a different value in
Device/Default anyway, overwriting the default. In other words:
This change is supposed to be cosmetic.
This can be used as a global measure to get the current compatible
with: $(firstword $(SUPPORTED_DEVICES))
(Though this is not precisely an achievement of this commit.)

It turns out that 'echo -e' isn't portable; it doesn't work in the dash
builtin echo and Ubuntu users are complaining.
I can't even get octal (specified by POSIX) to work consistently because
those variants of 'echo' which *do* support -e don't seem to interpret
octalwithout it.
I could switch to /bin/echo but using -e with that isn't actually
portable *either* even though it works today.
For now just stick with bash, and use its builtin. We may end up using
something else entirely; perhaps perl.

This adds a full eMMC image including U-Boot, which means that the
kernel can inherit the true RAM size detected by the preloader.
As implemented in previous commits, sysupgrade to this image from
the legacy layout (and via that, from the vendor-installed image)
is supported.
Rename the legacy image for the 512MiB board, for clarity.

This actually covers fairly much all the MediaTek platforms; they
only have different images because they don't include the preloader
and U-Boot, and rely on preinstalled stuff from the vendor.
So this script can slowly take over the world as we complete the
support for various other platforms, starting with UniElec U7623…

Many MediaTek SoCs can be unbricked by using the SP Flash Tool from
http://spflashtool.com/ along with a "scatter list" file, which is
just a text file listing which image gets loaded where.
We use a trivial partition layout for the tool, with the whole eMMC
image as a single "partition", which means users just need to unzip
the sysupgrade image. Doing the real partition layout would be overly
complex and would require the individual partitions to be shipped
as artifacts — or users to extract them out of the sysupgrade image
just for the tool to put them adjacent to each other on the eMMC
anyway.
The tool does require a copy of the preloader in order to operate,
even when it isn't flashing the preloader to the eMMC boot region.
So drop that into the bin directory as an artifact too.

This board ships with an ancient 14.07-based OpenWrt using block2mtd, and
the MBR partition table contains nonsense.
It is possible to sysupgrade to an upstream OpenWrt image, but the
legacy layout of the OpenWrt images start at 0xA00 in the eMMC, with
a raw uImage. The legacy OpenWrt image doesn't "own" the beginning
of the device, including the MBR and U-Boot.
This means that when a user upgrades to upstream OpenWrt, it doesn't
boot because it can't find the right partitions. So hard-code them on
the kernel's command line using CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARTITION (for block).
Additionally, the vendor firmware doesn't cope with images larger than
about 36MiB, because it only overwrites the contents of its "firmware"
MTD partition. The current layout of the legacy image wastes a lot of
space, allowing over 32MiB for the kernel and another 10MiB for the FAT
recovery file system which is only created as 3MiB. So pull those in
to allow 4¾ MiB for the kernel, 3MiB for recovery, and then we have over
20MiB for the root file system.
This doesn't affect the new images which ship with a full eMMC image
including a different MBR layout and a partition for U-Boot, because
our modern U-Boot can actually pass the command line to the kernel, and
the built-in one doesn't get used anyway.
Tested by upgrading from vendor OpenWrt to the current legacy image,
from legacy to itself, to the previous legacy layout, and then to
finally the full-system image.
This commit probably wants backporting to 19.07, which also doesn't
install over the vendor OpenWrt and doesn't even have a full-system
installation option.

The current condition with part of the variables set dependent on
the subtarget in Device/Default isn't really nice to read and also
defeats the purpose of having a default node.
This removes the special settings for mt7623 and moves them to the
individual devices, which is not much of a problem as there are
actually just two of them and they partly use different settings
anyway.
While at it, slightly adjust the order of variables and wrap some
long lines.
