Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 4 is 4 port Octeon Cavium 7130 powered router.
It has internal power supply and needs c13 power cord.
There are three 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45/Copper ports and
one 1000 Mbps SFP port connected directly to a SoC.
SoC:
Octeon Cavium 7130 (Cavium 3)
Clocked at 1000Mhz
Memory:
1 GiB (SK hynix H5TQ4G63CFR-RDC × 2)
DDR3, clocked at 533 Mhz (1066Mhz effective)
Flash:
- mtd:
8 MiB (Macronix MX25L6408EMI-12G)
used for uboot/eeprom
- emmc:
4 GiB (SanDisk SDIN7DP2-4G)
used for kernel+rootfs
Leds: 1x for power status (white/blue, controllable)
and 4x for ethernet and sfp ports (no control over them)
Buttons: 1x Reset (from SOC)
Serial: 1x RJ45 port on front panel. 115200 baud, 8N1 (from SoC)
USB: 1x USB3.0 on front panel (from SoC)
MII: 1x QSGMII from SoC is used
PHY: 1x Vitesse VSC8504 of which 4x ports is used
All physical port numbers are properly mapped inside OS and
named by lanX instead of ethX.
There is also special purpose four(4) loopX ports available.
That loopX ports are currently hardcoded by linux kernel
and exact use case of them is currently unknown. We leave them
to the linux kernel and octeon board defaults.
All four (4) physical ports are connected to the same QSGMII.
vsc8504 is used for phys and only 4, 5, 6 and 7 phys are used.
Phy mapping:
- Phy5 is connected to physical eth0 port
- Phy6 is connected to physical eth1 port
- Phy7 is connected to physical eth2 port
- Phy4 is connected to physical eth3 port
Why this device needs external dts:
- faster boot time since need to initialize less device tree nodes.
- to add actual indication with LED about boot/failure/upgrade.
i.e. user could know when to enter failsafe mode or if upgrade is done
- reset button support so user can reset their device in case off failure
- sfp port indication in dmesg with information about sfp module
it also indicates when module inserted or removed
Octeon quirks:
- There is no port status available before it interface brought up
- SFP port can not be tied to actual phy due to octeon-ethernet state
and currently we can only get reports a about SFP state in dmesg
How to flash the firmware:
- copy openwrt-octeon-ubnt_edgerouter-4-initramfs-kernel.bin and
openwrt-octeon-ubnt_edgerouter-4-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar to
USB flash drive that is formatted to vfat/fat32
- connect USB flash drive to edgerouter 4 front USB port
- connect serial cable using front RJ45 port (115200 baud, 8N1)
- connect power to cable to edgerouter 4
- connect terminal to the console to see uboot boot process
- interrupt boot by pressing button(s) on your keyboard to log in to the uboot
- detect usb connected flash drives by typing to the console:
usb start
- after drive is detected load initramfs+kernel to the memory by typing:
fatload usb 0:1 0x20000000 openwrt-octeon-ubnt_edgerouter-4-initramfs-kernel.bin
- after initramfs+kernel is loaded to the memory load it by typing:
bootoctlinux 0 numcores=4 endbootargs mem=0
- boot process should finish and you will be greeted with console after pressing enter
- create directory to mount usb flash drive to by typing:
mkdir /tmp/sda
- mount flash drive to that directory by typing:
mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/sda
- flash firmware to router internal storage by typing:
sysupgrade /tmp/sda/openwrt-octeon-ubnt_edgerouter-4-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar
- device will reboot and after it gets up you will have edgerouter 4 running openwrt

All octeon devices use the same or a very similar way to backup
and restore configuration.
We expect to have more devices added and in order to stop
repeating ourselves move the logic to a separate function.
While at it, add a few checks.

Itus Networks Shield - 1Ghz dual-core mips64 / Cavium Octeon 3 SoC,
1Gb RAM, 4Gb eMMC,3 GbE 10/100/1000 ports
Information regarding device can be found:
https://deviwiki.com/wiki/Itus_Networks_Shield_Pro
Installing OpenWrt on Itus Networks Shield:
1) Boot Shield
2) On device: mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /mnt
3) scp openwrt-octeon-itus,shield-router-initramfs-kernel.bin to
/mnt/ItusrouterImage
3a) Optionally: scp openwrt-octeon-itus,shield-router-initramfs-kernel.bin
to /mnt/ItusgatewayImage to allow you to have an emergency recovery
boot in the GATEWAY slot - this slot will have no permament storage and
is used for emergency recovery only when booted in the (G)ateway
position
4) On device: umount /mnt
5) reboot
Once booted, run the sysupgrade via cli or luCi on the
openwrt-octeon-itus,shield-router-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar file the mode
you are running.
Once rebooted, the system installation is complete. Your storage partition
for the mode is inialized and set.

[cut out sysupgrade-* changes, move a few lines,
drop case CVMX_BOARD_TYPE_ITUS_SHIELD]
Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler <freifunk@adrianschmutzler.de>
So far, the sysupgrade-* folder used during upgrade in octeon was
hardcoded to contain the board name. Therefore, changing board name
or BOARD_NAME variable in image/Makefile might have broken upgrade.
Improve this by adding a step to determine the folder name via
a wildcard, as it is done for generic nand_upgrade_tar() in
lib/upgrade/nand.sh.
While this still does not remove the problem for existing devices
(which still have the old script), it will entirely remove the
issue on newly added devices on this platform.

This drops the shebang from all target files for /lib and
/etc/uci-defaults folders, as these are sourced and the shebang
is useless.
While at it, fix the executable flag on a few of these files.
This does not touch ar71xx, as this target is just used for
backporting now and applying cosmetic changes would just complicate
things.

Do not parse /tmp/sysinfo/board_name, /proc/cpuinfo or the device tree
compatible string directly. Always use the board_name function to get
the board name.
The admswconfig package still reads /proc/cpuinfo directly. The code
looks somehow broken and the whole adm5120 which uses this package
looks unmaintained. Leave it as it is for now.
Signed-off-by: Mathias Kresin <dev@kresin.me>
For targets using the generic board detection and board specific
settings in diag.sh, the board name is still unset at the time the
set_state() provided by diag.sh is called by 10_indicate_preinit.
Change the execution order to ensure the boardname is populated before
required the first time. Do the target specific board detection as
early as possible, directly followed by the generic one to allow a
seamless switch to the generic function for populating /tmp/sysinfo/.
