Create new mediatek_filogic file and add entries for environment on
MMC, UBI and NOR for the Bananapi BPi-R3.
Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org>
The Bananapi BPi-R3 board can boot from eMMC, SD card, SPI-NAND and
SPI-NOR, depending on the position of switches controlling the BOOTSEL
bootstrap pins as we as hard-wired chip-select lines. The position of the
chip-select switch SW6 decides whether either SD card or eMMC can be
accessed, SW5 selects either SPI-NAND or SPI-NOR.
Generate U-Boot for all 4 boot options. The SD card version allows
installation to SPI-NAND and SPI-NOR (eMMC cannot be accessed
simultanously with the SD card), the SPI-NAND version allows installation
to eMMC.

General hardware info:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-Link DGS-1210-10MP is a switch with 8 ethernet ports and 2 SFP ports, all
ports Gbit capable. It is based on a RTL8380 SoC @ 500MHz, DRAM 128MB and
32MB flash. All ethernet ports are 802.3af/at PoE capable
with a total PoE power budget of 130W.
File info:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The dgs-1210-10mp is very similar to dgs-1210-10p so I used that as a start.
rtl838x.mk:
- Removed lua-rs232 package since it was a leftover from the old rtl83xx-poe
package.
- Updated the soc to 8380.
- Specified device variant: F.
- Installed the new realtek-poe package.
rtl8380_d-link_dgs-1210-10mp.dts:
- Moved dgs-1210 family common parts and non PoE related ports on rtl8231
to the new device tree dtsi files.
Serial connection:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The UART for the SoC (115200 8N1) is available close to the front panel next
to the LED/key card connector via unpopulated standard 0.1" pin header
marked j4. Pin1 is marked with arrow and square.
Pin 1: Vcc 3,3V
Pin 2: Tx
Pin 3: Rx
Pin 4: Gnd
Installation with TFTP from u-boot
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I originally used the install procedure:
'OpenWrt installation using the TFTP method and serial console access' found
in the device wiki for the dgs-1210-16.
< https://openwrt.org/toh/d-link/dgs-1210-16_g1#openwrt_installation_using
_the_tftp_method_and_serial_console_access >
About the realtek-poe package
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The realtek-poe package is installed but there isn't any automatic PoE config
setting at this time so for now the PoE config must be edited manually.
Original OEM hardware/firmware data at first installation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It has been installed, developed, and tested on a device with these OEM
hardware and firmware versions.
- U-boot: 2011.12.(2.1.5.67086)-Candidate1 (Jun 22 2020 - 15:03:58)
- Boot version: 1.01.001
- Firmware version: 6.20.007
- Hardware version: F1
Things to be done when support are developed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- realtek-poe has been included in OpenWrt but the automatic config handling
has not been solved yet so in the future there will probably be some minor
updates for this device to handle the poe config.
- LED link_act and poe are per function supposed to be connected to the PoE
system.
But some software development is also needed to make this LED work and
shift the LED array between act and poe indication and to shift the mode
lights with mode key.
- LED poe_max should probably be used as straight forward error output from
the realtek-poe package error handling. But no code has been written for
this.
- SFP is currently not hot pluggable. Development is under progress to get
working I2C communication with SFP and have them hot pluggable.
When any device in the dgs-1210 family gets this working, I expect it
should be possible to implement the same solution in this device.

Add support for the TP-Link SG2008P switch. This is an RTL8380 based
switch with 802.3af one the first four ports.
Specifications:
---------------
* SoC: Realtek RTL8380M
* Flash: 32 MiB SPI flash (Vendor varies)
* RAM: 256 MiB (Vendor varies)
* Ethernet: 8x 10/100/1000 Mbps with PoE on 4 ports
* Buttons: 1x "Reset" button on front panel
* Power: 53.5V DC barrel jack
* UART: 1x serial header, unpopulated
* PoE: 1x TI TPS23861 I2C PoE controller
Works:
------
- (8) RJ-45 ethernet ports
- Switch functions
- System LED
Not yet enabled:
----------------
- Power-over-Ethernet (driver works, but doesn't enable "auto" mode)
- PoE, Link/Act, PoE max and System LEDs
Install via web interface:
-------------------------
Not supported at this time.
Install via serial console/tftp:
--------------------------------
The footprints R27 (0201) and R28 (0402) are not populated. To enable
serial console, 50 ohm resistors should be soldered -- any value from
0 ohm to 50 ohm will work. R27 can be replaced by a solder bridge.
The u-boot firmware drops to a TP-Link specific "BOOTUTIL" shell at
38400 baud. There is no known way to exit out of this shell, and no
way to do anything useful.
Ideally, one would trick the bootloader into flashing the sysupgrade
image first. However, if the image exceeds 6MiB in size, it will not
work. The sysupgrade image can also be flashed. To install OpenWRT:
Prepare a tftp server with:
1. server address: 192.168.0.146
2. the image as: "uImage.img"
Power on device, and stop boot by pressing any key.
Once the shell is active:
1. Ground out the CLK (pin 16) of the ROM (U7)
2. Select option "3. Start"
3. Bootloader notes that "The kernel has been damaged!"
4. Release CLK as sson as bootloader thinks image is corrupted.
5. Bootloader enters automatic recovery -- details printed on console
6. Watch as the bootloader flashes and boots OpenWRT.
Blind install via tftp:
-----------------------
This method works when it's not feasible to install a serial header.
Prepare a tftp server with:
1. server address: 192.168.0.146
2. the image as: "uImage.img"
3. Watch network traffic (tcpdump or wireshark works)
4. Power on the device.
5. Wait 1-2 seconds then ground out the CLK (pin 16) of the ROM (U7)
6. When 192.168.0.30 makes tftp requests, release pin 16
7. Wait 2-3 minutes for device to auto-flash and boot OpenWRT

described there should work too.
- Set up a TFTP server; IP address has to be 192.168.99.8/24
- Copy the firmware (initramfs-kernel) to your TFTP server directory
renaming it to e.g. boot.bin
- Open AP's enclosure and locate UART header (there is a video online)
- Terminal connection parameters are 115200 8/N/1
- Connect TFTP server and AP via ethernet
- Power up AP and cancel autoboot when prompted
- Prompt shows 'ath> '
- Commands used to boot:
ath> tftpboot 0x81000000 boot.bin
ath> bootm 0x81000000
- Device should boot OpenWRT
- IP address after boot is 192.168.1.1/24
- Connect to device via browser
- Permanently flash using the web ui (flashing sysupgrade image)
- (BTW: the AP55 images seem to work too, only LEDs are not working)
Testing done:
- To be honest: Currently not so much testing done.
- Flashed onto two devices
- Devices are booting
- MAC addresses are correct
- LEDs are working
- Scanning for WLANs is working

TFTP + TTL Installation:
Although a TTL connection is required for installation, we do not need
to tear down it. We can find the TTL port from the cooling hole at the
bottom. It is located below LAN3 and the pins are defined as follows:
|LAN1|LAN2|LAN3|----|WAN|
--------------------
|GND|TX|RX|VCC|
1. Set tftp server IP to 192.168.124.99 and put initramfs firmware in
server's root directory, rename it to a simple name "initramfs.bin".
2. Plug in the power supply and wait for power on, connect the TTL cable
and open a TTL session, enter "reboot", then enter "Y" to confirm.
Finally push "0" to interruput boot while booting.
3. Execute command to install a initramfs system:
# tftp 0x80010000 192.168.124.99:initramfs.bin
# bootm 0x80010000
4. Backup nand flash by OpenWrt LuCI or dd instruction. We need those
partitions if we want to back to stock firmwre due to official
website does not provide download link.
# dd if=/dev/mtd1 of=/tmp/u-boot-env.bin
# dd if=/dev/mtd4 of=/tmp/firmware.bin
5. Edit u-boot env to ensure use default bootargs and first image slot:
# fw_setenv bootargs
# fw_setenv bootflag 0
6. Upgrade sysupgrade firmware.
7. About restore stock firmware: flash the "firmware" and "u-boot-env"
partitions that we backed up in step 4.
# mtd write /tmp/u-boot-env.bin u-boot-env
# mtd write /tmp/firmware.bin firmware
Additional Info:
The H3C stock firmware has a 160-byte firmware header that appears to
use a non-standard CRC32 verification algorithm. For this part of the
data, the u-boot does not check it so we can just directly replace it
with a placeholder.

instead of extended. This then leads to the usage of build host include
dirs, which are not available.
Fix it by extending `UBOOT_MAKE_FLAGS` variable like it was done in
commit 481339a042 ("uboot-imx: fix wrong make flags overriding").

Beeline SmartBox GIGA is a wireless WiFi 5 router manufactured by
Sercomm company.
Device specification
--------------------
SoC Type: MediaTek MT7621AT
RAM: 256 MiB, Nanya NT5CC128M16JR-EK
Flash: 128 MiB, Macronix MX30LF1G18AC
Wireless 2.4 GHz (MT7603EN): b/g/n, 2x2
Wireless 5 GHz (MT7613BE): a/n/ac, 2x2
Ethernet: 3 ports - 2xGbE (WAN, LAN1), 1xFE (LAN2)
USB ports: 1xUSB3.0
Button: 1 button (Reset/WPS)
PCB ID: DBE00B-1.6MM
LEDs: 1 RGB LED
Power: 12 VDC, 1.5 A
Connector type: barrel
Bootloader: U-Boot
Installation
-----------------
1. Downgrade stock (Beeline) firmware to v.1.0.02;
2. Give factory OpenWrt image a shorter name, e.g. 1001.img;
3. Upload and update the firmware via the original web interface.
Remark: You might need make the 3rd step twice if your running firmware
is booted from the Slot 1 (Sercomm0 bootflag). The stock firmware
reverses the bootflag (Sercomm0 / Sercomm1) on each firmware update.
Revert to stock
---------------
1. Change the bootflag to Sercomm1 in OpenWrt CLI and then reboot:
printf 1 | dd bs=1 seek=7 count=1 of=/dev/mtdblock3
2. Optional: Update with any stock (Beeline) firmware if you want to
overwrite OpenWrt in Slot 0 completely.

1. The following scripts are required for the build:
sercomm-crypto.py - already exists in OpenWrt
sercomm-partition-tag.py - already exists in OpenWrt
sercomm-payload.py - already exists in OpenWrt
sercomm-pid.py - new, the part of this pull request
sercomm-kernel-header.py - new, the part of this pull request
2. This device (same as other Sercomm S2,S3-based devices) requires
special LZMA and LOADADDR settings for successful boot:
LZMA_TEXT_START=0x82800000
KERNEL_LOADADDR=0x81001000
LOADADDR=0x80001000
3. This device (same as several other Sercomm-based devices - Beeline,
Netgear, Etisalat, Rostelecom) has partition map (mtd1) containing
real partition offsets, which may differ from device to device
depending on the number and location of bad blocks on NAND.
"fixed-partitions" is used if the partition map is not found or
corrupted. This behavour (it's the same as on stock firmware) is
provided by MTD_SERCOMM_PARTS module.

Add support for Methode euroDPU which is based on uDPU but does not
have a second SFP cage, instead of which a Maxlinear G.hn IC is used.
PHY mode is set to 1000Base-X despite Maxlinear IC being capable of
2500Base-X since until 5.15 support for mvebu is available trying to use
2500Base-X will cause buffer overruns for which the fix is not easily
backportable.
Installation instructions:
1. Boot the FIT initramfs image (openwrt-mvebu-cortexa53-methode_edpu-initramfs.itb)

uDPU DTS has pending upstream fixups, so backport those as well as split
the DTS into a DTSI and DTS in preparation for euroDPU support which
uses uDPU as the base.
Ethernet aliases have not yet been sent upstream but will be soon in order
for U-boot to set the correct MAC on both ethernet interfaces instead of
just one.
Since U-boot environment now has its own partition, update the envtools
config script to search for it instead.
Patch hardcoding PHY mode is also not applicable anymore, so drop it and
set in the uDPU DTS directly.

WG443223).
Device specification
--------------------
SoC Type: MediaTek MT7621AT
RAM: 128 MiB
Flash: 128 MiB (Winbond W29N01HV)
Wireless 2.4 GHz (MT7615DN): b/g/n, 2x2

Power: 12 VDC, 1 A
Connector type: Barrel
Bootloader: U-Boot (Ralink UBoot Version: 5.0.0.2)
OEM: Arcadyan WG430223
Installation
------------
1. Login to the router web interface (superadmin:serial number)
2. Navigate to Administration -> Miscellaneous -> Access control lists &
enable telnet & enable "Remote control from any IP address"
3. Connect to the router using telnet (default admin:admin)
4. Place *factory.trx on any web server (192.168.1.2 in this example)
5. Connect to the router using telnet shell (no password required)
6. Save MAC adresses to U-Boot environment:
uboot_env --set --name eth2macaddr --value $(ifconfig | grep eth2 | \
awk '{print $5}')
uboot_env --set --name eth3macaddr --value $(ifconfig | grep eth3 | \
awk '{print $5}')
uboot_env --set --name ra0macaddr --value $(ifconfig | grep ra0 | \
awk '{print $5}')
uboot_env --set --name rax0macaddr --value $(ifconfig | grep rax0 | \
awk '{print $5}')
7. Ensure that MACs were saved correctly:
uboot_env --get --name eth2macaddr
uboot_env --get --name eth3macaddr
uboot_env --get --name ra0macaddr
uboot_env --get --name rax0macaddr
8. Download and write the OpenWrt images:
cd /tmp
wget http://192.168.1.2/factory.trx
mtd_write erase /dev/mtd4
mtd_write write factory.trx /dev/mtd4
9. Set 1st boot partition and reboot:
uboot_env --set --name bootpartition --value 0
Back to Stock
-------------
1. Run in the OpenWrt shell:
fw_setenv bootpartition 1
reboot
2. Optional step. Upgrade the stock firmware with any version to
overwrite the OpenWrt in Slot 1.

[1]:
a. Label wasb't found neither in factory nor in other places.
b. MAC addresses are stored in encrypted partition "glbcfg". Encryption
key hasn't known yet. To ensure the correct MACs in OpenWrt, a hack
with saving of the MACs to u-boot-env during the installation was
applied.
c. Default Ralink ethernet MAC address (00:0C:43:28:80:A0) was found in
"Factory" 0xfff0. It's the same for all MTS WG430223 devices. OEM
firmware also uses this MAC when initialazes ethernet driver. In
OpenWrt we use it only as internal GMAC (eth0), all other MACs are
unique. Therefore, there is no any barriers to the operation of several
MTS WG430223 devices even within the same broadcast domain.

Notes
-----
There does not appear to be a way to trigger TFTP recovery without entering
U-Boot. The device must be opened to access the serial console in order to
first flash OpenWrt onto a device from factory.
The device has automatic recovery backed by a second set of partitions on
the larger of the two SPI flash ICs. Both the primary and secondary must
be flashed to prevent accidental rollback to "factory" after 3 failed boot
attempts.
Serial console

A serial console is available on the following pins of the populated J2
connector on the device mainboard (115200 8n1).

is included in the port to help rolling back this change if desired.
Installation:
- Requires serial access and a TFTP server.
- Fully boot stock, press ENTER, type in:
mtd erase /dev/mtd21
dd if=/dev/mtd22 bs=128K count=1 | mtd write - /dev/mtd21
umount /config && ubidetach -m 23 && mtd erase /dev/mtd23
- Reboot and interrupt U-Boot by pressing a key, type in:
set mtdids 'nand0=nand0'
set mtdparts 'mtdparts=nand0:155M@0x6500000(mtd_ubi)'
set bootcmd 'ubi part mtd_ubi && ubi read 0x44000000 kernel && bootm'
env save
- Setup TFTP server serving initramfs image as 'recovery.bin', type in:
set ipaddr 192.168.1.1
set serverip 192.168.1.2
tftpboot recovery.bin && bootm
- Use sysupgrade to install squashfs image.

We don't need to make sure that we want to have enabled
CONFIG_CMD_SETEXPR by default, since this is already done in U-boot [1].
This was actually needed only for clearfog board [2], which was added in
commit: da0005a6d08ae33d958a6d8a6c0c12dc07b5b2b8 ("uboot-mvebu: add
patch to enable setexpr for clearfog boards) and send to U-boot to fix
it properly. After a while, there was added support for Turris Omnia,
which uses setexpr as well [3], but for this board, there are no fixes
needed in U-boot and that's why we can remove this option here.
It is helpful with shell scripting. If some downstream distributions are
using it, they should correct it in defconfig for related boards.

There are two versions which are identical apart from the enclosure:
YunCore AX820: indoor ceiling mount AP with integrated antennas
YunCore HWAP-AX820: outdoor enclosure with external (N) connectors
Hardware specs:
SoC: MediaTek MT7621DAT
Flash: 16 MiB SPI NOR
RAM: 128MiB (DDR3, integrated)
WiFi: MT7905DAN+MT7975DN 2.4/5GHz 2T2R 802.11ax
Ethernet: 10/100/1000 Mbps x2 (WAN/PoE+LAN)
LED: Status (green)
Button: Reset
Power: 802.11af/at PoE; DC 12V,1A
Antennas: AX820(indoor): 4dBi internal; HWAP-AX820(outdoor): external
Flash instructions:
The "OpenWRT support" version of the AX820 comes with a LEDE-based
firmware with proprietary MTK drivers and a luci webinterface and
ssh accessible under 192.168.1.1 on LAN; user root, no password.
The sysupgrade.bin can be flashed using luci or sysupgrade via ssh,
you will have to force the upgrade due to a different factory name.
Remember: Do *not* preserve factory configuration!
MAC addresses as used by OEM firmware:
use address source
2g 44:D1:FA:*:0b Factory 0x0004 (label)
5g 46:D1:FA:*:0b LAA of 2g
lan 44:D1:FA:*:0c Factory 0xe000
wan 44:D1:FA:*:0d Factory 0xe000 + 1
The wan MAC can also be found in 0xe006 but is not used by OEM dtb.
Due to different MAC handling in mt76 the LAA derived from lan is used
for 2g to prevent duplicate MACs when creating multiple interfaces.

Installation
------------
OEM upgrade method:
* Log in to OEM management web interface
* Navigate to Maintenance > Firmware > Management
* If "Active Image" has the first option selected, OpenWrt will need to be
flashed to the "Active" partition. If the second option is selected,
OpenWrt will need to be flashed to the "Backup" partition.
* Navigate to Maintenance > Firmware > Upload
* Upload the openwrt-realtek-rtl838x-zyxel_gs1900-24hp-v1-initramfs-kernel.bin
file by your preferred method to the previously determined partition.
When prompted, select to boot from the newly flashed image, and reboot
the switch.
* Once OpenWrt has booted, scp the sysupgrade image to /tmp and flash it:
> sysupgrade /tmp/openwrt-realtek-rtl838x-zyxel_gs1900-24hp-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
U-Boot TFTP method:
* Configure your client with a static 192.168.1.x IP (e.g. 192.168.1.10).
* Set up a TFTP server on your client and make it serve the initramfs
image.
* Connect serial, power up the switch, interrupt U-boot by hitting the
space bar, and enable the network:
> rtk network on
* Since the GS1900-24HP v1 is a dual-partition device, you want to keep the
OEM firmware on the backup partition for the time being. OpenWrt can
only be installed in the first partition anyway (hardcoded in the
DTS). To ensure we are set to boot from the first partition, issue the
following commands:
> setsys bootpartition 0
> savesys
* Download the image onto the device and boot from it:
> tftpboot 0x81f00000 192.168.1.10:openwrt-realtek-rtl838x-zyxel_gs1900-24hp-v1-initramfs-kernel.bin
> bootm
* Once OpenWrt has booted, scp the sysupgrade image to /tmp and flash it:
> sysupgrade /tmp/openwrt-realtek-rtl838x-zyxel_gs1900-24hp-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

The Sophos AP100, AP100C, AP55, and AP55C are dual-band 802.11ac access
points based on the Qualcomm QCA9558 SoC. They share PCB designs with
several devices that already have partial or full support, most notably the
Devolo DVL1750i/e.
The AP100 and AP100C are hardware-identical to the AP55 and AP55C, however
the 55 models' ART does not contain calibration data for their third chain
despite it being present on the PCB.
Specifications common to all models:
- Qualcomm QCA9558 SoC @ 720 MHz (MIPS 74Kc Big-endian processor)
- 128 MB RAM
- 16 MB SPI flash
- 1x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port, 802.3af PoE-in
- Green and Red status LEDs sharing a single external light-pipe
- Reset button on PCB[1]
- Piezo beeper on PCB[2]
- Serial UART header on PCB
- Alternate power supply via 5.5x2.1mm DC jack @ 12 VDC
Unique to AP100 and AP100C:
- 3T3R 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n via SoC WMAC
- 3T3R 5.8GHz 802.11a/n/ac via QCA9880 (PCI Express)
AP55 and AP55C:
- 2T2R 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n via SoC WMAC
- 2T2R 5.8GHz 802.11a/n/ac via QCA9880 (PCI Express)
AP100 and AP55:
- External RJ45 serial console port[3]
- USB 2.0 Type A port, power controlled via GPIO 11
Flashing instructions:
This firmware can be flashed either via a compatible Sophos SG or XG
firewall appliance, which does not require disassembling the device, or via
the U-Boot console available on the internal UART header.
To flash via XG appliance:
- Register on Sophos' website for a no-cost Home Use XG firewall license
- Download and install the XG software on a compatible PC or virtual
machine, complete initial appliance setup, and enable SSH console access
- Connect the target AP device to the XG appliance's LAN interface
- Approve the AP from the XG Web UI and wait until it shows as Active
(this can take 3-5 minutes)
- Connect to the XG appliance over SSH and access the Advanced Console
(Menu option 5, then menu option 3)
- Run `sudo awetool` and select the menu option to connect to an AP via
SSH. When prompted to enable SSH on the target AP, select Yes.
- Wait 2-3 minutes, then select the AP from the awetool menu again. This
will connect you to a root shell on the target AP.
- Copy the firmware to /tmp/openwrt.bin on the target AP via SCP/TFTP/etc
- Run `mtd -r write /tmp/openwrt.bin astaro_image`
- When complete, the access point will reboot to OpenWRT.
To flash via U-Boot serial console:
- Configure a TFTP server on your PC, and set IP address 192.168.99.8 with
netmask 255.255.255.0
- Copy the firmware .bin to the TFTP server and rename to 'uImage_AP100C'
- Open the target AP's enclosure and locate the 4-pin 3.3V UART header [4]
- Connect the AP ethernet to your PC's ethernet port
- Connect a terminal to the UART at 115200 8/N/1 as usual
- Power on the AP and press a key to cancel autoboot when prompted
- Run the following commands at the U-Boot console:
- `tftpboot`
- `cp.b $fileaddr 0x9f070000 $filesize`
- `boot`
- The access point will boot to OpenWRT.
MAC addresses as verified by OEM firmware:
use address source
LAN label config 0x201a (label)
2g label + 1 art 0x1002 (also found at config 0x2004)
5g label + 9 art 0x5006
Increments confirmed across three AP55C, two AP55, and one AP100C.
These changes have been tested to function on both current master and
21.02.0 without any obvious issues.
[1] Button is present but does not alter state of any GPIO on SoC
[2] Buzzer and driver circuitry is present on PCB but is not connected to
any GPIO. Shorting an unpopulated resistor next to the driver circuitry
should connect the buzzer to GPIO 4, but this is unconfirmed.
[3] This external RJ45 serial port is disabled in the OEM firmware, but
works in OpenWRT without additional configuration, at least on my
three test units.
[4] On AP100/AP55 models the UART header is accessible after removing
the device's top cover. On AP100C/AP55C models, the PCB must be removed
for access; three screws secure it to the case.
Pin 1 is marked on the silkscreen. Pins from 1-4 are 3.3V, GND, TX, RX

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

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

Araknis AN-700-AP-I-AC is an indoor wireless access point with
1 Gb ethernet port, dual-band wireless,
internal antenna plates, and 802.3at PoE+
this board is a Senao device:
the hardware is equivalent to EnGenius EAP1750
the software is modified Senao SDK which is based on openwrt and uboot
including image checksum verification at boot time,
and a failsafe image that boots if checksum fails
**Specification:**
- QCA9558 SOC MIPS 74kc, 2.4 GHz WMAC, 3x3
- QCA9880 WLAN PCI card, 5 GHz, 3x3, 26dBm
- AR8035-A PHY RGMII GbE with PoE+ IN
- 40 MHz clock
- 16 MB FLASH MX25L12845EMI-10G
- 2x 64 MB RAM NT5TU32M16
- UART console J10, populated, RX shorted to ground
- 4 antennas 5 dBi, internal omni-directional plates
- 4 LEDs power, 2G, 5G, wps
- 1 button reset
NOTE: all 4 gpio controlled LEDS are viewed through the same lightguide
therefore, the power LED is off for default state
**MAC addresses:**
MAC address labeled as ETH
Only one Vendor MAC address in flash at art 0x0
eth0 ETH *:xb art 0x0
phy1 2.4G *:xc ---
phy0 5GHz *:xd ---
**Serial Access:**
the RX line on the board for UART is shorted to ground by resistor R176
therefore it must be removed to use the console
but it is not necessary to remove to view boot log
optionally, R175 can be replaced with a solder bridge short
the resistors R175 and R176 are next to the UART RX pin at J10
**Installation:**
Method 1: Firmware upgrade page:
(if you cannot access the APs webpage)
factory reset with the reset button
connect ethernet to a computer
OEM webpage at 192.168.20.253
username and password 'araknis'
make a new password, login again...
Navigate to 'File Management' page from left pane
Click Browse and select the factory.bin image
Upload and verify checksum
Click Continue to confirm
wait about 3 minutes
Method 2: Serial to load Failsafe webpage:
After connecting to serial console and rebooting...
Interrupt uboot with any key pressed rapidly
execute `run failsafe_boot` OR `bootm 0x9fd70000`
wait a minute
connect to ethernet and navigate to
192.168.20.253
Select the factory.bin image and upload
wait about 3 minutes
**Return to OEM:**
Method 1: Serial to load Failsafe webpage (above)
Method 2: delete a checksum from uboot-env
this will make uboot load the failsafe image at next boot
because it will fail the checksum verification of the image
ssh into openwrt and run
`fw_setenv rootfs_checksum 0`
reboot, wait a minute
connect to ethernet and navigate to
192.168.20.253
select OEM firmware image and click upgrade
Method 3: backup mtd partitions before upgrade
**TFTP recovery:**
Requires serial console, reset button does nothing
rename initramfs-kernel.bin to '0101A8C0.img'
make available on TFTP server at 192.168.1.101
power board, interrupt boot with serial console
execute `tftpboot` and `bootm 0x81000000`
NOTE: TFTP may not be reliable due to bugged bootloader
set MTU to 600 and try many times
**Format of OEM firmware image:**
The OEM software is built using SDKs from Senao
which is based on a heavily modified version
of Openwrt Kamikaze or Altitude Adjustment.
One of the many modifications is sysupgrade being performed by a custom script.
Images are verified through successful unpackaging, correct filenames
and size requirements for both kernel and rootfs files, and that they
start with the correct magic numbers (first 2 bytes) for the respective headers.
Newer Senao software requires more checks but their script
includes a way to skip them.
The OEM upgrade script is at
/etc/fwupgrade.sh
OKLI kernel loader is required because the OEM software
expects the kernel to be less than 1536k
and the OEM upgrade procedure would otherwise
overwrite part of the kernel when writing rootfs.
Note on PLL-data cells:
The default PLL register values will not work
because of the external AR8035 switch between
the SOC and the ethernet port.
For QCA955x series, the PLL registers for eth0 and eth1
can be see in the DTSI as 0x28 and 0x48 respectively.
Therefore the PLL registers can be read from uboot
for each link speed after attempting tftpboot
or another network action using that link speed
with `md 0x18050028 1` and `md 0x18050048 1`.
The clock delay required for RGMII can be applied at the PHY side,
using the at803x driver `phy-mode` setting through the DTS.
Therefore, the Ethernet Configuration registers for GMAC0
do not need the bits for RGMII delay on the MAC side.
This is possible due to fixes in at803x driver
since Linux 5.1 and 5.3

**Specification:**
- QCA9557 SOC MIPS 74kc, 2.4 GHz WMAC, 2x2
- QCA9882 WLAN PCI card 168c:003c, 5 GHz, 2x2, 26dBm
- AR8035-A PHY RGMII GbE with PoE+ IN
- 40 MHz clock
- 16 MB FLASH MX25L12845EMI-10G
- 2x 64 MB RAM NT5TU32M16
- UART console J10, populated, RX shorted to ground
- 4 antennas 5 dBi, internal omni-directional plates
- 4 LEDs power, 2G, 5G, wps
- 1 button reset
NOTE: all 4 gpio controlled LEDS are viewed through the same lightguide
therefore, the power LED is off for default state
**MAC addresses:**
MAC address labeled as ETH
Only one Vendor MAC address in flash at art 0x0
eth0 ETH *:e1 art 0x0
phy1 2.4G *:e2 ---
phy0 5GHz *:e3 ---
**Serial Access:**
the RX line on the board for UART is shorted to ground by resistor R176
therefore it must be removed to use the console
but it is not necessary to remove to view boot log
optionally, R175 can be replaced with a solder bridge short
the resistors R175 and R176 are next to the UART RX pin at J10
**Installation:**
Method 1: Firmware upgrade page:
(if you cannot access the APs webpage)
factory reset with the reset button
connect ethernet to a computer
OEM webpage at 192.168.20.253
username and password 'araknis'
make a new password, login again...
Navigate to 'File Management' page from left pane
Click Browse and select the factory.bin image
Upload and verify checksum
Click Continue to confirm
wait about 3 minutes
Method 2: Serial to load Failsafe webpage:
After connecting to serial console and rebooting...
Interrupt uboot with any key pressed rapidly
execute `run failsafe_boot` OR `bootm 0x9fd70000`
wait a minute
connect to ethernet and navigate to
192.168.20.253
Select the factory.bin image and upload
wait about 3 minutes
**Return to OEM:**
Method 1: Serial to load Failsafe webpage (above)
Method 2: delete a checksum from uboot-env
this will make uboot load the failsafe image at next boot
because it will fail the checksum verification of the image
ssh into openwrt and run
`fw_setenv rootfs_checksum 0`
reboot, wait a minute
connect to ethernet and navigate to
192.168.20.253
select OEM firmware image and click upgrade
Method 3: backup mtd partitions before upgrade
**TFTP recovery:**
Requires serial console, reset button does nothing
rename initramfs-kernel.bin to '0101A8C0.img'
make available on TFTP server at 192.168.1.101
power board, interrupt boot with serial console
execute `tftpboot` and `bootm 0x81000000`
NOTE: TFTP may not be reliable due to bugged bootloader
set MTU to 600 and try many times
**Format of OEM firmware image:**
The OEM software is built using SDKs from Senao
which is based on a heavily modified version
of Openwrt Kamikaze or Altitude Adjustment.
One of the many modifications is sysupgrade being performed by a custom script.
Images are verified through successful unpackaging, correct filenames
and size requirements for both kernel and rootfs files, and that they
start with the correct magic numbers (first 2 bytes) for the respective headers.
Newer Senao software requires more checks but their script
includes a way to skip them.
The OEM upgrade script is at
/etc/fwupgrade.sh
OKLI kernel loader is required because the OEM software
expects the kernel to be less than 1536k
and the OEM upgrade procedure would otherwise
overwrite part of the kernel when writing rootfs.
Note on PLL-data cells:
The default PLL register values will not work
because of the external AR8035 switch between
the SOC and the ethernet port.
For QCA955x series, the PLL registers for eth0 and eth1
can be see in the DTSI as 0x28 and 0x48 respectively.
Therefore the PLL registers can be read from uboot
for each link speed after attempting tftpboot
or another network action using that link speed
with `md 0x18050028 1` and `md 0x18050048 1`.
The clock delay required for RGMII can be applied at the PHY side,
using the at803x driver `phy-mode` setting through the DTS.
Therefore, the Ethernet Configuration registers for GMAC0
do not need the bits for RGMII delay on the MAC side.
This is possible due to fixes in at803x driver
since Linux 5.1 and 5.3

Installation
------------
OEM upgrade method:
* Log in to OEM management web interface
* Navigate to Maintenance > Firmware > Management
* If "Active Image" has the first option selected, OpenWrt will need to be
flashed to the "Active" partition. If the second option is selected,
OpenWrt will need to be flashed to the "Backup" partition.
* Navigate to Maintenance > Firmware > Upload
* Upload the openwrt-realtek-rtl838x-zyxel_gs1900-24-v1-initramfs-kernel.bin
file by your preferred method to the previously determined partition.
When prompted, select to boot from the newly flashed image, and reboot
the switch.
* Once OpenWrt has booted, scp the sysupgrade image to /tmp and flash it:
> sysupgrade /tmp/openwrt-realtek-rtl838x-zyxel_gs1900-24-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
U-Boot TFTP method:
* Configure your client with a static 192.168.1.x IP (e.g. 192.168.1.10).
* Set up a TFTP server on your client and make it serve the initramfs
image.
* Connect serial, power up the switch, interrupt U-boot by hitting the
space bar, and enable the network:
> rtk network on
> Since the GS1900-24 v1 is a dual-partition device, you want to keep the
OEM firmware on the backup partition for the time being. OpenWrt can
only be installed in the first partition anyway (hardcoded in the
DTS). To ensure we are set to boot from the first partition, issue the
following commands:
> setsys bootpartition 0
> savesys
* Download the image onto the device and boot from it:
> tftpboot 0x81f00000 192.168.1.10:openwrt-realtek-rtl838x-zyxel_gs1900-24-v1-initramfs-kernel.bin
> bootm
* Once OpenWrt has booted, scp the sysupgrade image to /tmp and flash it:
> sysupgrade /tmp/openwrt-realtek-rtl838x-zyxel_gs1900-24-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

ZTE MF286A and MF286R are indoor LTE category 6/7 CPE router with simultaneous
dual-band 802.11ac plus 802.11n Wi-Fi radios and quad-port gigabit
Ethernet switch, FXS and external USB 2.0 port.
Hardware highlights:
- CPU: QCA9563 SoC at 775MHz,
- RAM: 128MB DDR2,
- NOR Flash: MX25L1606E 2MB SPI Flash, for U-boot only,
- NAND Flash: W25N01GV 128MB SPI NAND-Flash, for all other data,
- Wi-Fi 5GHz: QCA9886 2x2 MIMO 802.11ac Wave2 radio,
- WI-Fi 2.4GHz: QCA9563 3x3 MIMO 802.11n radio,
- Switch: QCA8337v2 4-port gigabit Ethernet, with single SGMII CPU port,
- WWAN:
[MF286A] MDM9230-based category 6 internal LTE modem
[MF286R] PXA1826-based category 7 internal LTE modem
in extended mini-PCIE form factor, with 3 internal antennas and
2 external antenna connections, single mini-SIM slot.
- FXS: one external ATA port (handled entirely by modem part) with two
physical connections in parallel,
- USB: Single external USB 2.0 port,
- Switches: power switch, WPS, Wi-Fi and reset buttons,
- LEDs: Wi-Fi, Test (internal). Rest of LEDs (Phone, WWAN, Battery,
Signal state) handled entirely by modem. 4 link status LEDs handled by
the switch on the backside.
- Battery: 3Ah 1-cell Li-Ion replaceable battery, with charging and
monitoring handled by modem.
- Label MAC device: eth0
The device shares many components with previous model, MF286, differing
mostly by a Wave2 5GHz radio, flash layout and internal LED color.
In case of MF286A, the modem is the same as in MF286. MF286R uses a
different modem based on Marvell PXA1826 chip.
Internal modem of MF286A is supported via uqmi, MF286R modem isn't fully
supported, but it is expected to use comgt-ncm for connection, as it
uses standard 3GPP AT commands for connection establishment.
Console connection: connector X2 is the console port, with the following
pinout, starting from pin 1, which is the topmost pin when the board is
upright:
- VCC (3.3V). Do not use unless you need to source power for the
converer from it.
- TX
- RX
- GND
Default port configuration in U-boot as well as in stock firmware is
115200-8-N-1.
Installation:
Due to different flash layout from stock firmware, sysupgrade from
within stock firmware is impossible, despite it's based on QSDK which
itself is based on OpenWrt.
STEP 0: Stock firmware update:
As installing OpenWrt cuts you off from official firmware updates for
the modem part, it is recommended to update the stock firmware to latest
version before installation, to have built-in modem at the latest firmware
version.
STEP 1: gaining root shell:
Method 1:
This works if busybox has telnetd compiled in the binary.
If this does not work, try method 2.
Using well-known exploit to start telnetd on your router - works
only if Busybox on stock firmware has telnetd included:
- Open stock firmware web interface
- Navigate to "URL filtering" section by going to "Advanced settings",
then "Firewall" and finally "URL filter".
- Add an entry ending with "&&telnetd&&", for example
"http://hostname/&&telnetd&&".
- telnetd will immediately listen on port 4719.
- After connecting to telnetd use "admin/admin" as credentials.
Method 2:
This works if busybox does not have telnetd compiled in. Notably, this
is the case in DNA.fi firmware.
If this does not work, try method 3.
- Set IP of your computer to 192.168.0.22. (or appropriate subnet if
changed)
- Have a TFTP server running at that address
- Download MIPS build of busybox including telnetd, for example from:
https://busybox.net/downloads/binaries/1.21.1/busybox-mips
and put it in it's root directory. Rename it as "telnetd".
- As previously, login to router's web UI and navigate to "URL
filtering"
- Using "Inspect" feature, extend "maxlength" property of the input
field named "addURLFilter", so it looks like this:
<input type="text" name="addURLFilter" id="addURLFilter" maxlength="332"
class="required form-control">
- Stay on the page - do not navigate anywhere
- Enter "http://aa&zte_debug.sh 192.168.0.22 telnetd" as a filter.
- Save the settings. This will download the telnetd binary over tftp and
execute it. You should be able to log in at port 23, using
"admin/admin" as credentials.
Method 3:
If the above doesn't work, use the serial console - it exposes root shell
directly without need for login. Some stock firmwares, notably one from
finnish DNA operator lack telnetd in their builds.
STEP 2: Backing up original software:
As the stock firmware may be customized by the carrier and is not
officially available in the Internet, IT IS IMPERATIVE to back up the
stock firmware, if you ever plan to returning to stock firmware.
It is highly recommended to perform backup using both methods, to avoid
hassle of reassembling firmware images in future, if a restore is
needed.
Method 1: after booting OpenWrt initramfs image via TFTP:
PLEASE NOTE: YOU CANNOT DO THIS IF USING INTERMEDIATE FIRMWARE FOR INSTALLATION.
- Dump stock firmware located on stock kernel and ubi partitions:
ssh root@192.168.1.1: cat /dev/mtd4 > mtd4_kernel.bin
ssh root@192.168.1.1: cat /dev/mtd9 > mtd9_ubi.bin
And keep them in a safe place, should a restore be needed in future.
Method 2: using stock firmware:
- Connect an external USB drive formatted with FAT or ext4 to the USB
port.
- The drive will be auto-mounted to /var/usb_disk
- Check the flash layout of the device:
cat /proc/mtd
It should show the following:
mtd0: 000a0000 00010000 "u-boot"
mtd1: 00020000 00010000 "u-boot-env"
mtd2: 00140000 00010000 "reserved1"
mtd3: 000a0000 00020000 "fota-flag"
mtd4: 00080000 00020000 "art"
mtd5: 00080000 00020000 "mac"
mtd6: 000c0000 00020000 "reserved2"
mtd7: 00400000 00020000 "cfg-param"
mtd8: 00400000 00020000 "log"
mtd9: 000a0000 00020000 "oops"
mtd10: 00500000 00020000 "reserved3"
mtd11: 00800000 00020000 "web"
mtd12: 00300000 00020000 "kernel"
mtd13: 01a00000 00020000 "rootfs"
mtd14: 01900000 00020000 "data"
mtd15: 03200000 00020000 "fota"
mtd16: 01d00000 00020000 "firmware"
Differences might indicate that this is NOT a MF286A device but
one of other variants.
- Copy over all MTD partitions, for example by executing the following:
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15; do cat /dev/mtd$i > \
/var/usb_disk/mtd$i; done
"Firmware" partition can be skipped, it is a concatenation
of "kernel" and "rootfs".
- If the count of MTD partitions is different, this might indicate that
this is not a MF286A device, but one of its other variants.
- (optionally) rename the files according to MTD partition names from
/proc/mtd
- Unmount the filesystem:
umount /var/usb_disk; sync
and then remove the drive.
- Store the files in safe place if you ever plan to return to stock
firmware. This is especially important, because stock firmware for
this device is not available officially, and is usually customized by
the mobile providers.
STEP 3: Booting initramfs image:
Method 1: using serial console (RECOMMENDED):
- Have TFTP server running, exposing the OpenWrt initramfs image, and
set your computer's IP address as 192.168.0.22. This is the default
expected by U-boot. You may wish to change that, and alter later
commands accordingly.
- Connect the serial console if you haven't done so already,
- Interrupt boot sequence by pressing any key in U-boot when prompted
- Use the following commands to boot OpenWrt initramfs through TFTP:
setenv serverip 192.168.0.22
setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.1
tftpboot 0x81000000 openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286a-initramfs-kernel.bin
bootm 0x81000000
(Replace server IP and router IP as needed). There is no emergency
TFTP boot sequence triggered by buttons, contrary to MF283+.
- When OpenWrt initramfs finishes booting, proceed to actual
installation.
Method 2: using initramfs image as temporary boot kernel
This exploits the fact, that kernel and rootfs MTD devices are
consecutive on NAND flash, so from within stock image, an initramfs can
be written to this area and booted by U-boot on next reboot, because it
uses "nboot" command which isn't limited by kernel partition size.
- Download the initramfs-kernel.bin image
- After backing up the previous MTD contents, write the images to the
"firmware" MTD device, which conveniently concatenates "kernel" and
"rootfs" partitions that can fit the initramfs image:
nandwrite -p /dev/<firmware-mtd> \
/var/usb_disk/openwrt-ath79-zte_mf286a-initramfs-kernel.bin
- If write is OK, reboot the device, it will reboot to OpenWrt
initramfs:
reboot -f
- After rebooting, SSH into the device and use sysupgrade to perform
proper installation.
Method 3: using built-in TFTP recovery (LAST RESORT):
- With that method, ensure you have complete backup of system's NAND
flash first. It involves deliberately erasing the kernel.
- Download "-initramfs-kernel.bin" image for the device.
- Prepare the recovery image by prepending 8MB of zeroes to the image,
and name it root_uImage:
dd if=/dev/zero of=padding.bin bs=8M count=1
cat padding.bin openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286a-initramfs-kernel.bin >
root_uImage
- Set up a TFTP server at 192.0.0.1/8. Router will use random address
from that range.
- Put the previously generated "root_uImage" into TFTP server root
directory.
- Deliberately erase "kernel" partition" using stock firmware after
taking backup. THIS IS POINT OF NO RETURN.
- Restart the device. U-boot will attempt flashing the recovery
initramfs image, which will let you perform actual installation using
sysupgrade. This might take a considerable time, sometimes the router
doesn't establish Ethernet link properly right after booting. Be
patient.
- After U-boot finishes flashing, the LEDs of switch ports will all
light up. At this moment, perform power-on reset, and wait for OpenWrt
initramfs to finish booting. Then proceed to actual installation.
STEP 4: Actual installation:
- Set your computer IP to 192.168.1.22/24
- scp the sysupgrade image to the device:
scp openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin \
root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
- ssh into the device and execute sysupgrade:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
- Wait for router to reboot to full OpenWrt.
STEP 5: WAN connection establishment
Since the router is equipped with LTE modem as its main WAN interface, it
might be useful to connect to the Internet right away after
installation. To do so, please put the following entries in
/etc/config/network, replacing the specific configuration entries with
one needed for your ISP:
config interface 'wan'
option proto 'qmi'
option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0'
option auth '<auth>' # As required, usually 'none'
option pincode '<pin>' # If required by SIM
option apn '<apn>' # As required by ISP
option pdptype '<pdp>' # Typically 'ipv4', or 'ipv4v6' or 'ipv6'
For example, the following works for most polish ISPs
config interface 'wan'
option proto 'qmi'
option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0'
option auth 'none'
option apn 'internet'
option pdptype 'ipv4'
The required minimum is:
config interface 'wan'
option proto 'qmi'
option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0'
In this case, the modem will use last configured APN from stock
firmware - this should work out of the box, unless your SIM requires
PIN which can't be switched off.
If you have build with LuCI, installing luci-proto-qmi helps with this
task.
Restoring the stock firmware:
Preparation:
If you took your backup using stock firmware, you will need to
reassemble the partitions into images to be restored onto the flash. The
layout might differ from ISP to ISP, this example is based on generic stock
firmware
The only partitions you really care about are "web", "kernel", and
"rootfs". These are required to restore the stock firmware through
factory TFTP recovery.
Because kernel partition was enlarged, compared to stock
firmware, the kernel and rootfs MTDs don't align anymore, and you need
to carve out required data if you only have backup from stock FW:
- Prepare kernel image
cat mtd12_kernel.bin mtd13_rootfs.bin > owrt_kernel.bin
truncate -s 4M owrt_kernel_restore.bin
- Cut off first 1MB from rootfs
dd if=mtd13_rootfs.bin of=owrt_rootfs.bin bs=1M skip=1
- Prepare image to write to "ubi" meta-partition:
cat mtd6_reserved2.bi mtd7_cfg-param.bin mtd8_log.bin mtd9_oops.bin \
mtd10_reserved3.bin mtd11_web.bin owrt_rootfs.bin > \
owrt_ubi_ubi_restore.bin
You can skip the "fota" partition altogether,
it is used only for stock firmware update purposes and can be overwritten
safely anyway. The same is true for "data" partition which on my device
was found to be unused at all. Restoring mtd5_cfg-param.bin will restore
the stock firmware configuration you had before.
Method 1: Using initramfs:
This method is recmmended if you took your backup from within OpenWrt
initramfs, as the reassembly is not needed.
- Boot to initramfs as in step 3:
- Completely detach ubi0 partition using ubidetach /dev/ubi0_0
- Look up the kernel and ubi partitions in /proc/mtd
- Copy over the stock kernel image using scp to /tmp
- Erase kernel and restore stock kernel:
(scp mtd4_kernel.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/)
mtd write <kernel_mtd> mtd4_kernel.bin
rm mtd4_kernel.bin
- Copy over the stock partition backups one-by-one using scp to /tmp, and
restore them individually. Otherwise you might run out of space in
tmpfs:
(scp mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/)
mtd write <ubiconcat0_mtd> mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin
rm mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin
(scp mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/)
mtd write <ubiconcat1_mtd> mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin
rm mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin
- If the write was correct, force a device reboot with
reboot -f
Method 2: Using live OpenWrt system (NOT RECOMMENDED):
- Prepare a USB flash drive contatining MTD backup files
- Ensure you have kmod-usb-storage and filesystem driver installed for
your drive
- Mount your flash drive
mkdir /tmp/usb
mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/usb
- Remount your UBI volume at /overlay to R/O
mount -o remount,ro /overlay
- Write back the kernel and ubi partitions from USB drive
cd /tmp/usb
mtd write mtd4_kernel.bin /dev/<kernel_mtd>
mtd write mtd9_ubi.bin /dev/<kernel_ubi>
- If everything went well, force a device reboot with
reboot -f
Last image may be truncated a bit due to lack of space in RAM, but this will happen over "fota"
MTD partition which may be safely erased after reboot anyway.
Method 3: using built-in TFTP recovery:
This method is recommended if you took backups using stock firmware.
- Assemble a recovery rootfs image from backup of stock partitions by
concatenating "web", "kernel", "rootfs" images dumped from the device,
as "root_uImage"
- Use it in place of "root_uImage" recovery initramfs image as in the
TFTP pre-installation method.
Quirks and known issuesa
- It was observed, that CH340-based USB-UART converters output garbage
during U-boot phase of system boot. At least CP2102 is known to work
properly.
- Kernel partition size is increased to 4MB compared to stock 3MB, to
accomodate future kernel updates - at this moment OpenWrt 5.10 kernel
image is at 2.5MB which is dangerously close to the limit. This has no
effect on booting the system - but keep that in mind when reassembling
an image to restore stock firmware.
- uqmi seems to be unable to change APN manually, so please use the one
you used before in stock firmware first. If you need to change it,
please use protocok '3g' to establish connection once, or use the
following command to change APN (and optionally IP type) manually:
echo -ne 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","<apn>' > /dev/ttyUSB0
- The only usable LED as a "system LED" is the blue debug LED hidden
inside the case. All other LEDs are controlled by modem, on which the
router part has some influence only on Wi-Fi LED.
- Wi-Fi LED currently doesn't work while under OpenWrt, despite having
correct GPIO mapping. All other LEDs are controlled by modem,
including this one in stock firmware. GPIO19, mapped there only acts
as a gate, while the actual signal source seems to be 5GHz Wi-Fi
radio, however it seems it is not the LED exposed by ath10k as
ath10k-phy0.
- GPIO5 used for modem reset is a suicide switch, causing a hardware
reset of whole board, not only the modem. It is attached to
gpio-restart driver, to restart the modem on reboot as well, to ensure
QMI connectivity after reboot, which tends to fail otherwise.
- Modem, as in MF283+, exposes root shell over ADB - while not needed
for OpenWrt operation at all - have fun lurking around.
The same modem module is used as in older MF286.
