Installation instructions for eMMC
----------------------------------
0. Set boot switch to boot from SPI-NAND (assuming stock rom or immortalwrt
running there).
1. Write GPT partition table to eMMC
Move openwrt-mediatek-filogic-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-emmc-gpt.bin to
the device /tmp using scp and write it to /dev/mmcblk0:
dd if=/tmp/openwrt-*-r3-mini-emmc-gpt.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0
2. Reboot (to reload partition table)
3. Write bootloader and OpenWrt images
Move files to the device /tmp using scp:
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-emmc-preloader.bin
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-emmc-bl31-uboot.fip
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-initramfs-recovery.itb
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb
Write them to the appropriate partitions:
echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro
dd if=/tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-emmc-preloader.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0boot0
dd if=/tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-emmc-bl31-uboot.fip of=/dev/mmcblk0p3
dd if=/tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-initramfs-recovery.itb of=/dev/mmcblk0p4
dd if=/tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb of=/dev/mmcblk0p5
sync
4. Remove the device from power, set boot switch to eMMC and boot into
OpenWrt. The device will come up with IP 192.168.1.1 and assume the
Ethernet port closer to the USB-C power connector as LAN port.
5. If you like to have Ethernet support inside U-Boot (eg. to boot via
TFTP) you also need to write the PHY firmware to /dev/mmcblk0boot1:
echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot1/force_ro
dd if=/lib/firmware/airoha/EthMD32.dm.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0boot1
dd if=/lib/firmware/airoha/EthMD32.DSP.bin bs=16384 seek=1 of=/dev/mmcblk0boot1
Installation instructions for NAND
----------------------------------
0. Set boot switch to boot from eMMC (assuming OpenWrt is installed there
by instructions above. Using stock rom or immortalwrt does NOT work!)
1. Write things to NAND
Move files to the device /tmp using scp:
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-snand-preloader.bin
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-snand-bl31-uboot.fip
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-initramfs-recovery.itb
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb
Write them to the appropriate locations:
mtd write /tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-snand-preloader.bin /dev/mtd0
ubidetach -m 1
ubiformat /dev/mtd1
ubiattach -m 1

Installation
------------
1. Decompress and write the sdcard image to a micro SD card and use that
to boot the R4 (both dip switches in upper position).
2. Use the bootloader menu accessible via the serial console to install
to SPI-NAND.
3. Switch to boot from SPI-NAND and install to eMMC.
Known issues
------------
- The RST button is hard-wired to the SoC reset and can't be read
from software. This can be changed by modifying the board (ie.
moving a 0-ohm resistor). However, in order to maintain compatibility
with the board as it comes from factory the button isn't used by
OpenWrt and the WPS button is used as factory/reset button instead.
- various small things still need to be fixed in DT

bootm 0x46000000
Load mtd-rw

Copy openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb to /tmp and create recovery partition.
If your recovery image is larger than 10MiB, size the recovery partition accordingly to make it fit.
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 2 -N recovery -s 10MiB
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_2 openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb

mtd write /tmp/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-bl31-uboot.fip fip
Now write the firmware:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb
To create a correct BL2, I had to add a profile for 'spim:4k+256' as I could not find a way to value the variable 'NAND_TYPE'.
Features and fixes from hitech95 tree has been squashed, I'm attaching his commit message:
The Power LED was not working correctly and not reacting
to the boot process and statuses.
The board has space (footprint) for an unpopulated Zigbee chip,
while we dont know the device model having this chip populated
we have to assure that the common dts doesnt enable
interfaces that share pins with such device.
In this instance the PCIe and the uart1 and uart2 are disabled.
Some of the control PCIE pins seems to be used for the Zigbee chip,
UART1 seems to be used as a flash port while UART2 should be the
main comunication interface of Zigbee chip.
The Zigbee chip should be a EFR32MG21. But the pins used for UART
seems to be not on standard PINS used by other adapters.
So it cannot run firmwares shared on the web.
But it should be possible to build a custom firmware with
the corrtect pinmux.
This commit also contains the following squashed commit from hitech95
- mediatek: fix sysupgrade for Zyxel EX7601-T0 ubootmod
Changes and fixes added in common board:
- added aliases for boot status leds.
- added aliases for the mac-label-device.
- added pin claims for core features (MDIO and UART 0)
- added default LEDs configuration (01_leds)
- added default network configuration (02_network)
- added missing kmod-usb3 module for USB3
- fixed LED names
- fixed reset pin for SLIC chip
- removed unused pinmux configurations and devices
- fix LAN (switch) port numbering
- using nvmem cells for wifi eeprom, dropping deprecated "mediatek,mtd-eeprom"
- proper factory partition and mac address handling
- cleaned up spi_nand sections and partition
Changes and fixxes added in stock layout:
- added NMBM, if u-boot has it, the kernel must be informed.

(ip 192.168.1.254, gateway 192.168.1.1)
2. Attach UART, pause at u-boot menu.
3. Select "Upgrade ATF BL2", then use preloader.bin
4. Select "Upgrade ATF FIP", then use bl31-uboot.fip
5. Download the initramfs image, and type "reset",
waiting for tftp recovery to complete.
6. After openwrt boots up, perform sysupgrade.
Note:
1. Since NMBM is disabled, we must back up all partitions.
2. Although we can upgrade new firmware in the stock firmware,
we need the special fit image signature of MediaTek and
dual boot (hack kernel) to make u-boot boot it. So just
abandon these hacks and flash it via the serial port.

- Flash: various options
- RAM: 256MB DDR3
- Ethernet: 4 x 10/100/1000 Mbps via MT7531AE switch
EITHER 1 x 10/100/1000 Mbps built-in PHY
OR 1 x 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps MaxLinear GPY211C
- Switch: MediaTek MT7531AE
- WiFi: MediaTek MT7976C
- Button: RST, WPS
**Flash instructions for SPIM-NAND:**
- write *mt7981-rfb-spim-nand-preloader.bin to 'BL2' partition
- write *mt7981-rfb-spim-nand-bl31-uboot.fip to 'FIP' partition
- erase 'ubi' partition
- reset board
- create ubootenv and ubootenv2 UBI volumes in U-Boot
- edit environment and set bootcmd, e.g.
setenv bootconf 'config-1#mt7981-rfb-spim-nand#mt7981-rfb-mxl-2p5g-phy-eth1'
setenv bootcmd 'ubi read $loadaddr fit; bootm $loadaddr#$bootconf'
- load initramfs image via TFTP:
setenv serverip 192.168.1.254
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
setenv bootfile openwrt-mediatek-filogic-mediatek_mt7981-rfb-initramfs.itb
saveenv ; saveenv
tftpboot
bootm $loadaddr#$bootconf
- Now use sysupgrade to write OpenWrt firmware to flash.
SNFI-NAND, SPIM-NOR and eMMC all work very similar, a bootable SD card image
is also being generated. However, as the board I've been provided only comes
with SPIM-NAND all other boot media are untested.

Enable building a factory image which can be flashed through the OEM
firmware's web interface. It seems that the web interface requires a
minimum file size of 10MiB, otherwise it will not accept the image.
The update image is a regular sysupgrade tarball packed in a Netgear
encrypted image. The Netgear encrypted image is the same as used in
WAX202 or WAX206, including the encryption keys and IV.
This adds a script which creates the rootfs_data volume on first
startup. This is required since the OEM firmware's sysupgrade scripts
do not create such a paritition. Note that any script ordered after
70_initramfs_test will not get executed on initramfs. Hence this new
script 75_rootfs_prepare won't create the rootfs_data volume when
using the recovery initramfs.
Also, this deletes the kernel_backup and rootfs_backup volumes in case
we have to create the rootfs_data volumes. This makes sure that
OpenWrt is the actual backup firmware instead of the stock firmware.

Telenor quirks
--------------
The operator specific firmware running on the Telenor branded
ZyXEL EX5700 includes U-Boot modifications affecting the OpenWrt
installation.
Notable changes to U-Boot include
- environment is stored in RAM and reset to defaults when power
cycled
- dual partition scheme with "nomimal" or "rescue" systems, falling
back to "rescue" unless the OS signals success in 3 attempts
- several runtime additions to the device-tree
Some of these modifications have side effects requiring workarounds
- U-Boot modifies /chosen/bootargs in an unsafe manner, and will crash
unless this node exists
- U-Boot verifies that the selected rootfs UBI volume exists, and
refuses to boot if it doesn't. The chosen "rootfs" volume must contain
a squashfs signature even for tftp or initramfs booting.
- U-Boot parses the "factoryparams" UBI volume, setting the "ethaddr"
variable to the label mac. But "factoryparams" does not always
exist. Instead there is a "RIP" volume containing all the factory
data. Copying the "RIP" volume to "factoryparams" will fix this
