The reserved-memory regions are mostly undocumented by QCA and are named
very unspecific in the QSDK device trees. It was tried to clean them up by
commit 71ed9f10a3 ("ipq40xx: Use detailed reserved memory for A42") and
similar changes.
The features which require these regions were mostly unknown but
Senthilkumar N L <snlakshm@qti.qualcomm.com> and Sricharan Ramabadhran
<srichara@qti.qualcomm.com> provided some more insight in some of them:
* crash dump feature
- a couple of regions used when 'qca,scm_restart_reason' dt node has the
value 'dload_status' not set to 1
+ apps_bl <0x87000000 0x400000>
+ sbl <0x87400000 0x100000>
+ cnss_debug <0x87400000 0x100000>
+ cpu_context_dump <0x87b00000 0x080000>
- required driver not available in Linux
- safe to remove
* QSEE app execution
- region tz_apps <0x87b80000 0x280000>
- required driver not available in Linux
- safe to remove
* communication with TZ/QSEE
- region smem <0x87b80000 0x280000>
- driver changes not yet upstreamed
- must not be removed because any access can crash kernel/program
* trustzone (QSEE) private memory
- region tz <0x87e80000 0x180000>
- must not be removed because any access can crash kernel/program
Removing the unnecessary regions saves some kilobyte of reserved-memory and
cleans up the device tree:

- AVM FRITZ!Box 4040
- Compex WPJ428

The Serial setting is 115200-8-N-1.
Tested and working:
- Ethernet
- 2.4 GHz WiFi (Correct MAC-address)
- 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.

Installation instructions:
Since boards ship with old version of LEDE installation is simple.
Just use sysupgrade -n -F sysupgrade.bin
Syuspgrade needs to be forced since OpenWRT uses DT detection in recent
releases.
If you get error that FIT configuration is not found during boot it is
due to older U-boot used on your board.
That is because 8devices used custom FIT configuration partition name
as they internally had v1 and v2 boards.
Only v2 boards are sold so now they are shipping boards with never
U-boot using generic config@1 FIT partition name.
Also for old uboot it is possible to force loading config@1 by changing
uboot environment:
setenv boot5 'bootm 0x84000000#config@1’
saveenv

been removed by it when CONFIG_QCA_APPSBL_DLOAD is not enabled. This allows
to reduce the 16MB reserved memory region to only 4.5MB.

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

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 -
