7e89421a7c ramips: add support for Zbtlink ZBT-WG1602
Zbtlink ZBT-WG1602 is a Wi-Fi router intendent to use with WWAN
(UMTS/LTE/3G/4G) modems. The router board offsers a couple of miniPCIe
slots with USB and SIM only and another one pure miniPCIe slot as well
as five Gigabit Ethernet ports (4xLAN + WAN).

Specification:

* SoC: MT7621A
* RAM: 256/512 MiB
* Flash: 16/32 MiB (SPI NOR)
* external watchdog (looks like Torexsemi XC6131B)
* Eth: 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet x5 ports (4xLAN + WAN)
* WLAN 2GHz: MT7603EN (.11n, MIMO 2x2)
* WLAN 5GHz: MT7612EN (.11ac, MIMO 2x2)
* WLAN Ants: detachable x2, shared by 2GHz & 5GHz radios
* miniPCIe: 2x slots with USB&SIM + 1x slot with regular PCIe bus
* WWAN Ants: detachable x4
* External storage: microSD (SDXC) slot
* USB: 2.0 Type-A port
* LED: 11 (5 per Eth phy, 3 SoC controlled, 2 WLAN 2/5 controlled, 1
       power indicator)
* Button: 1 (reset)
* UART: console (115200 baud)
* Power: DC jack (12 V / 2.5 A)

Additional HW information:

* SoC USB port #1 is shared by internal miniPCIe slot and external
  Type-A USB port, USB D+/D- lines are toggled between ports using a
  GPIO controlled DPDT switch.
* Power of the USB enabled miniPCIe slots can be individually controlled
  using dedicated GPIO lines.
* Vendor firmware feeds the external watchdog with 1s pulses. GPIO
  watchdog driver is able to either generate a 1us pulses or toggle the
  output line. 1us is not enough for the external watchod timer, so
  the line toggling driver mode is utilized.

Installation:

Vendor's firmware is OpenWrt (LEDE) based, so the sysupgrade image can
be directly used to install OpenWrt. Firmware must be upgraded using the
'force' and 'do not save configuration' command line options (or
correspondig web interface checkboxes) since the vendor firmware is from
the pre-DSA era.

eb00fb8f71 ramips: add support for HiLink HLK-7621A evaluation board
Specifications:
- SoC: MediaTek MT7621AT
- RAM: 256 MB (DDR3)
- Flash: 32 MB SPI NOR 44MHz
- Switch: 1 WAN, 4 LAN (Gigabit)
- LEDs: 1 WAN, 4 LAN (controlled by PHY)
- USB Ports: 1 x USB2, 1 x USB3
- WLAN: 1 x 2.4, 5 GHz 866Mbps (MT7612E)
- Button: 1 button (reset)
- UART Serial: UART1 as console : 57600 baud
- Power: 12VDC, 1A

Installation:
Update openWRT firmware using internal GNUBEE uboot:
https://github.com/gnubee-git/GnuBee-MT7621-uboot

By HTTP: Initial uboot address is http://10.10.10.123, your address
needs to be 10.10.10.x, and mask 255.255.255.0.
By TFTP: Uboot is in client mode, the address of the firmware must
be tftp://10.10.10.3/uboot.bin

Recovery:
Manufacturer provides MTK OpenWrt 14.07 source code, compile then
flash it by uboot.
HLK-7621A is a stamp hole package module for embedded development,
users have to design IO boards to use it.

MAC addresses:
- u-boot-env contains a placeholder address:
  > mtd_get_mac_ascii u-boot-env ethaddr
  03:17:73🆎cd:ef
- phy0 gets a valid-looking address:
  > cat /sys/class/ieee80211/phy0/macaddress
  f8:62:aa:**:**:a8
- Calibration data for &pcie2 contains a valid address, however the
  zeros in the right half look like it's not real:
  8c:88:2b:00:00:1b
- Since it's an evaluation board and there is no solid information
  about the MAC address assignment, the ethernet MAC address is left random.

3c97fb4346 ramips: add support for Xiaomi MiWifi 3C
This commit adds support for Xiaomi MiWiFi 3C device.

Xiaomi MiWifi 3C has almost the same system architecture
as the Xiaomi Mi WiFi Nano, which is already officially
supported by OpenWrt.

The differences are:

 - Numbers of antennas (4 instead of 2). The antenna management
   is done via the µC. There is no configuration needed in the
   software code.
 - LAN port assignments are different. LAN1 and WAN are
   interchanged.

OpenWrt Wiki: https://openwrt.org/toh/xiaomi/mir3c

OpenWrt developers forum page:
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/support-for-xiaomi-mi-3c

Specifications:

 - CPU: MediaTek MT7628AN (575MHz)
 - Flash: 16MB
 - RAM: 64MB DDR2
 - 2.4 GHz: IEEE 802.11b/g/n with Integrated LNA and PA
 - Antennas: 4x external single band antennas
 - WAN: 1x 10/100M
 - LAN: 2x 10/100M
 - LED: 1x amber/blue/red. Programmable
 - Button: Reset

MAC addresses as verified by OEM firmware:

use address source
LAN *:92 factory 0x28
WAN *:92 factory 0x28
2g *:93 factory 0x4

OEM firmware uses VLAN's to create the network interface for WAN and LAN.

Bootloader info:
The stock bootloader uses a "Dual ROM Partition System".
OS1 is a deep copy of OS2.
The bootloader start OS2 by default.
To force start OS1 it is needed to set "flag_try_sys2_failed=1".

How to install:
1- Use OpenWRTInvasion to gain telnet, ssh and ftp access.
   https://github.com/acecilia/OpenWRTInvasion
   (IP: 192.168.31.1 - Username: root - Password: root)
2- Connect to router using telnet or ssh.
3- Backup all partitions. Use command  "dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=/tmp/mtd0".
   Copy /tmp/mtd0 to computer using ftp.
4- Copy openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-xiaomi_miwifi-3c-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
   to /tmp in router using ftp.
5- Enable UART access and change start image for OS1.
```
nvram set uart_en=1
nvram set flag_last_success=1
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=1
nvram commit
```
6- Installing Openwrt on OS1 and free OS2.
```
mtd erase OS1
mtd erase OS2
mtd -r write /tmp/openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-xiaomi_miwifi-3c-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin OS1
```

Limitations: For the first install the image size needs to be less
than 7733248 bits.

c12ef2f760 ramips: add support for TP-Link RE305 v3
Specs (same as in v1):
- MT7628AN (575 MHz)
- 64MB RAM
- 8MB of flash (SPI NOR)
- 1x 10/100Mbps Ethernet (MT7628AN built-in switch with vlan)
- 1x 2.4GHz wifi (MT7628AN)
- 1x 5Ghz wifi (MT7612E)
- 4x LEDs (5 GPIO-controlled)
- 1x reset button
- 1x WPS button

The only and important difference between v1 & v3 is in flash memory
layout, so pls don't interchange these 2 builds!

Installation through web-ui (on OEM factory firmware):
1. Visit http://tplinkrepeater.net or the configured IP address of
   your RE305 v3 (default 192.168.0.254).
2. Log in with the password you've set during initial setup of the
   RE305 (there is no default password).
3. Go to Settings -> System Tools -> Firmware upgrade
4. Click Browse and select the OpenWRT image with factory.bin suffix
   (not sysupgrade.bin)
5. A window with a progress bar will appear. Wait until it completes.
6. The RE305 will reboot into OpenWRT and serve DHCP requests on the
   ethernet port.
7. Connect an RJ45 cable from the RE305 to your computer and access
   LuCI at http://192.168.1.1/ to configure (or use ssh).

Disassembly:
Just unscrew 4 screws in the corners & take off the back cover.
Serial is exposed to the right side of the main board (in the middle)
and marked with TX/RX/3V3/GND, but the holes are filled with solder.

Installation through serial:
1. connect trough serial (1n8, baudrate=57600)
2. setup the TFTP server and connect it via ethernet
   (ipaddr=192.168.0.254 of device, serverip=192.168.0.184 - your pc)
3. boot from a initramfs image first (choose 1 in the bootloader
   options)
4. test it a bit with that, then proceed to run sysupgrade build

MAC addresses as verified by OEM firmware:

  use  OpenWrt  address  reference
  LAN  eth0     *:d2     label
  2g   wlan0    *:d1     label - 1
  5g   wlan1    *:d0     label - 2

  The label MAC address can be found in config 0x2008.

Hardware
--------
MediaTek MT7621AT
16M SPI-NOR Macronix MX25L12835FMI
Microchip PD69104B1 4-Channel PoE-PSE controller
TI TPS2373 PoE-PD controller

PoE-Controller
--------------

By default, the PoE outputs do not work with OpenWrt. To make them output
power, install the "poemgr" package from the packages feed.
This package can control the PD69104B1 PSE controller.

Installation
------------

1. Connect to the booted device at 192.168.1.20 using username/password
   "ubnt" via SSH.

2. Add the uboot-envtools configuration file /etc/fw_env.config with the
   following content

   $ echo "/dev/mtd1 0x0 0x1000 0x10000 1" > /etc/fw_env.config

3. Update the bootloader environment.

   $ fw_setenv boot_openwrt "fdt addr \$(fdtcontroladdr);
     fdt rm /signature; bootubnt"
   $ fw_setenv bootcmd "run boot_openwrt"

4. Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the device using SCP.

5. Check the mtd partition number for bs / kernel0 / kernel1

   $ cat /proc/mtd

6. Set the bootselect flag to boot from kernel0

   $ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=1 of=/dev/mtdblock4

7. Write the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to both kernel0 as well as kernel1

   $ dd if=openwrt.bin of=/dev/mtdblock6
   $ dd if=openwrt.bin of=/dev/mtdblock7

8. Reboot the device. It should boot into OpenWrt.

Restore to UniFi
----------------

To restore the vendor firmware, follow the Ubiquiti UniFi TFTP
recovery guide for access points. The process is the same for
the Flex switch.

MAC addresses

factory partition only contains one (binary) MAC address in 0x4.
u-boot-env contains four (ascii) MAC addresses, of which two appear
to be valid.

  factory     0x4       **:**:**:**:b9:84  binary
  u-boot-env  ethaddr   **:**:**:**:b9:84  ascii
  u-boot-env  wanaddr   **:**:**:**:b9:85  ascii
  u-boot-env  wlanaddr  00:AA:BB:CC:DD:12  ascii
  u-boot-env  iNICaddr  00:AA:BB:CC:DD:22  ascii

The factory firmware only assigns ethaddr. Thus, we take the
binary value which we can use directly in DTS.

Additional information
OEM firmware shell password is: SitecomSenao
useful for creating backup of original firmware.
There is also another revision of this device (v1 001), based on RT3352 SoC

80e70be0ab ramips: add new flash layout support to Phicomm K2
Descriptions:
Phicomm K2 (PSG1218) got a new "permanent_config" partition after
update firmware to v22.5. This partition located in front of the
firmware partition, same as The Phicomm K2P and K2G. Due to this
change the new bootloader can't load previous firmware any more.
This commit is aimed at add support for Phicomm K2 which official
firmware version is 22.5.x or newer. For which runs old firmware
version, just update OpenWrt that has a prefix of "k2-v22.4".
For uniform naming, this commit also changed the model name
PSG1218 to a more recognizable name K2, refer to Phicomm K2G,
K2P K2T.

OpenWrt selection table:
official firmware version           OpenWrt
v22.4.x.x or older              phicomm_k2-v22.4
v22.5.x.x or newer              phicomm_k2-v22.5

Installation:
Same as Phicomm K2G, K2P, PSG1208.
a. TFTP + U-Boot
b. Open telnet by some web page vulnerability (Search Baidu by key
   words "K2 telnet"), and then we can upload firmware image to
   /tmp and write it to firmware partition with mtd instruction.

Specifications:
* SoC: MT7621AT
* RAM: 256MB
* Flash: 128MB NAND flash
* WiFi: MT7615DN (2.4GHz+5Ghz) with DBDC
* LAN: 5x1000M
* Firmware layout is Uboot with extra 96 bytes in header
* Base PCB is DIR-1360 REV1.0
* LEDs Power Blue+Orange,Wan Blue+Orange,WPS Blue,"2.4G"Blue, "5G" Blue,
  USB Blue

MAC addresses on OEM firmware:

lan      factory 0xe000   f4:*:*:a8:*:65  (label)
wan      factory 0xe006   f4:*:*:a8:*:68
2.4 GHz  [not on flash]   f6:*:*:c8:*:66
5.0 GHz  factory 0x4      f4:*:*:a8:*:66

The increment of the 4th byte for the 2.4g address appears to vary.
Reported cases:

       5g                 2.4g         increment
 f4:XX:XX:a8:XX:66  f6:XX:XX:c8:XX:66  +0x20
 x0:xx:xx:68:xx:xx  x2:xx:xx:48:xx:xx  -0x20
 x4:xx:xx:6a:xx:xx  x6:xx:xx:4a:xx:xx  -0x20

Since increment is inconsistent and there is no obvious pattern
in swapping bytes, and the 2.4g address has local bit set anyway,
it seems safer to use the LAN address with flipped byte here in
order to prevent collisions between OpenWrt devices and OEM devices
for this interface. This way we at least use an address as base
that is definitely owned by the device at hand.

Flashing instruction:

The Dlink "Emergency Room" cannot be accessed through the reset
button on this device. You can either use console or use the
encrypted factory image availble in the openwrt forum.

Once the encrypted image is flashed throuh the stock Dlink web
interface, the sysupgrade images can be used.

Header pins needs to be soldered near the WPS and Wifi buttons.

The layout for the pins is (VCC,RX,TX,GND). No need to connect the VCC.

the settings are:

Bps/Par/Bits          : 57600 8N1
Hardware Flow Control : No
Software Flow Control : No

Connect your client computer to LAN1 of the device
Set your client IP address manually to 192.168.0.101 / 255.255.255.0.
Call the recovery page or tftp for the device at http://192.168.0.1
Use the provided emergency web GUI to upload and flash a new firmware to
the device

At the time of adding support the wireless config needs to be set up by
editing the wireless config file:

 * Setting the country code is mandatory, otherwise the router loses
   connectivity at the next reboot. This is mandatory and can be done
   from luci. After setting the country code the router boots correctly.
   A reset with the reset button will fix the issue and the user has to
   reconfigure.

 * This is minor since the 5g interface does not come up online although
   it is not set as disabled. 2 options here:

   1- Either run the "wifi" command. Can be added from LUCI in system -
      startup - local startup and just add wifi above "exit 0".

   2- Or add the serialize option in the wireless config file as shown
      below. This one would work and bring both interfaces automatically
      at every boot:

      config wifi-device 'radio0'
          option serialize '1'

      config wifi-device 'radio1'
          option serialize '1'

0c721434ea ramips: add support for Linksys EA8100 v2
Specifications:
- SoC: MT7621AT
- RAM: 256MB
- Flash: 128MB NAND
- Ethernet: 5 Gigabit ports
- WiFi: 2.4G/5G MT7615N
- USB: 1 USB 3.0, 1 USB 2.0

This device is very similar to the EA7300 v1/v2, EA7500 v2, and EA8100 v1.

Installation:

Upload the generated factory image through the factory web interface.

(following part taken from EA7300 v2 commit message:)

This might fail due to the A/B nature of this device. When flashing, OEM
firmware writes over the non-booted partition. If booted from 'A',
flashing over 'B' won't work. To get around this, you should flash the
OEM image over itself. This will then boot the router from 'B' and
allow you to flash OpenWRT without problems.

Reverting to factory firmware:

Hard-reset the router three times to force it to boot from 'B.' This is
where the stock firmware resides. To remove any traces of OpenWRT from
your router simply flash the OEM image at this point.

With thanks to Tom Wizetek (@wizetek) for testing.

The LED ring is a ring of 24x ws2812b connect to a generic GPIO (unsupported).
There is a small LED which is only visible when the device is open which
will be used as LED until the ws2812b is supported.
The board has also a micro sdcard/tfcard slot (untested).
The Nordic nRF52832 exposes SWD over a 5pin header (GND, VCC, SWD, SWC, RST).
The vendor uses an older OpenWrt version, sysupgrade can be used via
serial or ssh.

MediaTek MT7905+7975 2x2T2R DBDC bgnax / acax
RGB LED
WPS + RESET Button
UART on compute module (silkscreened / 115200n8)

The router itself is just a board with Power / USB / RJ-45 connectors
and DC/DC converters. The SoC and WiFi components are on a
daughterboard which connect using two M.2 connectors.

The compute module has the model number "T-CB1800K-DM2 V02" printed on
it. The main baord has "T-MB5EU V01" printed on it. This information
might be useful, as it's highly likely either of these two will be
reused in similar designs.

The router itself is sold as Tenbay T-MB5EU directly from the OEM as
well as "KuWFI AX1800 Smart WiFi 6 Eouter" on Amazon.de for ~50€ in a
slightly different case.

Installation
------------

A Tool for creating a factory image for the Vendor Web Interface can be
found here: https://github.com/blocktrron/t-mb5eu-v01-factory-creator/

As the OEM Firmware is just a modified LEDE 17.01, you can also access
failsafe mode via UART while the OS boots, by connecting to UART
and pressing "f" when prompted. The Router is reachable at
192.168.1.1 via root without password.

Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image via scp and apply with sysupgrade
using the -n and -F flags.

Alternatively, the board can be flashed by attaching to the UART
console, interrupting the boot process by keeping "0" pressed while
attaching power.

Serve the OpenWrt initramfs using a TFTP server with address
192.168.1.66. Rename the initramfs to ax1800.bin.

Attach your TFTP server to one of the LAN ports. Execute the following
commands.

 $ setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.67
 $ setenv serverip 192.168.1.66
 $ tftpboot 0x84000000 ax1800.bin
 $ bootm

Wait for the device to boot. Then transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image
to the device using SCP and apply sysupgrade.

solution in code. It looks, that some buffer for kernel have 2MB size.

To avoid bricked devices, this commit introduces 2048k limit kernel
size for all jboot routers.

a3d8c1295e ramips: Add support for SERCOMM NA502
The SERCOMM NA502 is a smart home gateway manufactured by SERCOMM and sold
under different brands (among others, A1 Telekom Austria SmartHome
Gateway). It has multi-protocol radio support in addition to LAN and WiFi.

Note: BLE is currently unsupported.

Specifications
--------------

  - MT7621ST 880MHz, Single-Core, Dual-Thread
  - MT7603EN 2.4GHz WiFi
  - MT7662EN 5GHz WiFi + BLE
  - 128MiB NAND
  - 256MiB DDR3 RAM
  - SD3503 ZWave Controller
  - EM357 Zigbee Coordinator

MAC address assignment
----------------------

LAN MAC is read from the config partition, WiFi 2.4GHz is LAN+2 and matches
the OEM firmware. WiFi 5GHz with LAN+1 is an educated guess since the
OEM firmware does not enable 5GHz WiFi.

Installation
------------
Attach serial console, then boot the initramfs image via TFTP.
Once inside OpenWrt, run sysupgrade -n with the sysupgrade file.

Attention: The device has a dual-firmware design. We overwrite kernel2,
since kernel1 contains an automatic recovery image.

If you get NAND ECC errors and are stuck with bad eraseblocks, try to
erase the mtd partition first with

mtd unlock ubi
mtd erase ubi

This should only be needed once.

SoC: MediaTek MT7620a @ 580MHz
RAM: 64M
FLASH: 8MB
WiFi: SoC-integrated: MediaTek MT7620a bgn
WiFi: MediaTek MT7612EN nac
GbE: 2x (RTL8211F)
BTN: - WPS

UART: UART is present as Pads with through-holes on the PCB. They are
located next to the reset button and are labelled Vcc/TX/RX/GND as
appropriate. Use 3.3V, 57600-8N1.

Installation
------------

Using the webcmd interface
--------------------------

Warning: Do not update to the latest Wavlink firmware (version
20201201) as this removes the webcmd console and you will need to
use the serial port instead.

You will need to have built uboot/sqauashfs image for this device,
and you will need to provide an HTTP service where the image can
be downloaded from that is accessible by the device.
You cannot use the device manufacturers firmware upgrade interface
as it rejects the OpenWrt image.

1. Log into the device's admin portal. This is necessary to
   authenticate you as a user in order to be able to access the
   webcmd interface.
2. Navigate to http://<device-ip>/webcmd.shtml - you can access
   the console directly through this page, or you may wish to
   launch the installed `telnetd` and use telnet instead.
   * Using telnet is recommended since it provides a more
     convenient shell interface that the web form.
   * Launch telnetd from the form with the command `telnetd`.
   * Check the port that telnetd is running on using
     `netstat -antp|grep telnetd`, it is likely to be 2323.
   * Connect to the target using `telnet`. The username should
     be `admin2860`, and the password is your admin password.
3. On the target use `curl` to download the image.
   e.g.  `curl -L -O http://<some-other-lan-ip>/openwrt-ramips-mt7620-\
          wavlink_wl-wn579x3-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin`.
   Check the hash using `md5sum`.
4. Use the mtd_write command to flash the image.
   * The flash partition should be mtd4, but check
     /sys/class/mtd/mtd4/name first. The partition should be
     called 'Kernel'.
   * To flash use the following command:
     `mtd_write -r -e /dev/mtd<n> write <image-file> /dev/mtd<n>`
     Where mtd<n> is the Kernel partition, and <image-file> is
     the OpenWrt image previously downloaded.
   * The command above will erase, flash and then reboot the
     device. Once it reboots it will be running OpenWrt.

Connect via ssh to the device at 192.168.1.1 on the LAN port.
The WAN port will be configured via DHCP.

Using the serial port
---------------------

The device uses uboot like many other MT7260a based boards. To
use this interface, you will need to connect to the serial
interface, and provide a TFTP server. At boot follow the
bootloader menu and select option 2 to erase/flash the image.
Provide the address and filename details for the tftp server.
The bootloader will do the rest.

Once the image is flashed, the board will boot into OpenWrt. The
console is available over the serial port.

4a9f389ed2 ramips: split Youku YK1 to YK-L1 and YK-L1c
Device specifications:
* Model: Youku YK-L1/L1c
* CPU: MT7620A
* RAM: 128 MiB
* Flash: 32 MiB (YK-L1)/ 16 MiB (YK-L1c)
* LAN: 2* 10M/100M Ports
* WAN: 1* 10M/100M Port
* USB: 1* USB2.0
* SD: 1* MicroSD socket
* UART: 1* TTL, Baudrate 57600

Descriptions:
  Previous supported device YOUKU yk1 is actually Youku YK-L1. Though they look
  really different, the only hardware difference between the two models is flash
  size, YK-L1 has 32 MiB flash but YK-L1c has 16MiB. It seems that YK-L1c can
  compatible with YK-L1's firmware but it's better to split it to different models.

  It is easy to identify the models by looking at the label on the bottom of the
  device. The label has the model number "YK-L1" or "YK-L1c". Due to different flash
  sizes, YK-L1c that using previous YK-L1's firmware needs to apply "force update"
  to install compatible firmware, so please backup config file before system upgrade.

b232680f84 ramips: add support for Linksys EA8100 v1
Specifications:
- SoC: MT7621AT
- RAM: 256MB
- Flash: 128MB NAND
- Ethernet: 5 Gigabit ports
- WiFi: 2.4G/5G MT7615N
- USB: 1 USB 3.0, 1 USB 2.0

This device is very similar to the EA7300 v1/v2 and EA7500 v2.

Installation:

Upload the generated factory image through the factory web interface.

(following part taken from EA7300 v2 commit message:)

This might fail due to the A/B nature of this device. When flashing, OEM
firmware writes over the non-booted partition. If booted from 'A',
flashing over 'B' won't work. To get around this, you should flash the
OEM image over itself. This will then boot the router from 'B' and
allow you to flash OpenWRT without problems.

Reverting to factory firmware:

Hard-reset the router three times to force it to boot from 'B.' This is
where the stock firmware resides. To remove any traces of OpenWRT from
your router simply flash the OEM image at this point.

With thanks to Leon Poon (@LeonPoon) for the initial bringup.

6d23e474ad ramips: add support for Amped Wireless ALLY router and extender
Amped Wireless ALLY is a whole-home WiFi kit, with a router (model
ALLY-R1900K) and an Extender (model ALLY-00X19K).  Both are devices are
11ac and based on MediaTek MT7621AT and MT7615N chips.  The units are
nearly identical, except the Extender lacks a USB port and has a single
Ethernet port.

Specification:
- SoC: MediaTek MT7621AT (2C/4T) @ 880MHz
- RAM: 128MB DDR3 (Nanya NT5CC64M16GP-DI)
- FLASH: 128MB NAND (Winbond W29N01GVSIAA)
- WiFi: 2.4/5 GHz 4T4R
  - 2.4GHz MediaTek MT7615N bgn
  - 5GHz MediaTek MT7615N nac
- Switch: SoC integrated Gigabit Switch
- USB: 1x USB3 (Router only)
- BTN: Reset, WPS
- LED: single RGB
- UART:  through-hole on PCB.
   J1: pin1 (square pad, towards rear)=3.3V, pin2=RX,
   pin3=GND, pin4=TX.  Settings: 57600/8N1.

Note regarding dual system partitions
-------------------------------------

The vendor firmware and boot loader use a dual partition scheme.  The boot
partition is decided by the bootImage U-boot environment variable: 0 for
the 1st partition, 1 for the 2nd.

OpenWrt does not support this scheme and will always use the first OS
partition.  It will set bootImage to 0 during installation, making sure
the first partition is selected by the boot loader.

Also, because we can't be sure which partition is active to begin with, a
2-step flash process is used.  We first flash an initramfs image, then
follow with a regular sysupgrade.

Installation:

Router (ALLY-R1900K)
1) Install the flashable initramfs image via the OEM web-interface.
  (Alternatively, you can use the TFTP recovery method below.)
  You can use WiFi or Ethernet.
  The direct URL is:  http://192.168.3.1/07_06_00_firmware.html
  a. No login is needed, and you'll be in their setup wizard.
  b. You might get a warning about not being connected to the Internet.
  c. Towards the bottom of the page will be a section entitled "Or
  Manually Upgrade Firmware from a File:" where you can manually choose
  and upload a firmware file.
  d: Click "Choose File", select the OpenWRT "initramfs" image and click
  "Upload."
2) The Router will flash the OpenWrt initramfs image and reboot.  After
  booting, LuCI will be available on 192.168.1.1.
3) Log into LuCI as root; there is no password.
4) Optional (but recommended) is to backup the OEM firmware before
  continuing; see process below.
5) Complete the Installation by flashing a full OpenWRT image.  Note:
  you may use the sysupgrade command line tool in lieu of the UI if
  you prefer.
  a.  Choose System -> Backup/Flash Firmware.
  b.  Click "Flash Image..." under "Flash new firmware image"
  c.  Click "Browse..." and then select the sysupgrade file.
  d.  Click Upload to upload the sysupgrade file.
  e.  Important:  uncheck "Keep settings and retain the current
      configuration" for this initial installation.
  f.  Click "Continue" to flash the firmware.
  g.  The device will reboot and OpenWRT is installed.

Extender (ALLY-00X19K)
1) This device requires a TFTP recovery procedure to do an initial load
  of OpenWRT.  Start by configuring a computer as a TFTP client:
  a. Install a TFTP client (server not necessary)
  b. Configure an Ethernet interface to 192.168.1.x/24; don't use .1 or .6
  c. Connect the Ethernet to the sole Ethernet port on the X19K.
2) Put the ALLY Extender in TFTP recovery mode.
  a. Do this by pressing and holding the reset button on the bottom while
  connecting the power.
  b. As soon as the LED lights up green (roughly 2-3 seconds), release
  the button.
3) Start the TFTP transfer of the Initramfs image from your setup machine.
For example, from Linux:
tftp -v -m binary 192.168.1.6 69 -c put initramfs.bin
4) The Extender will flash the OpenWrt initramfs image and reboot.  After
booting, LuCI will be available on 192.168.1.1.
5) Log into LuCI as root; there is no password.
6) Optional (but recommended) is to backup the OEM firmware before
  continuing; see process below.
7) Complete the Installation by flashing a full OpenWRT image.  Note: you
may use the sysupgrade command line tool in lieu of the UI if you prefer.
  a.  Choose System -> Backup/Flash Firmware.
  b.  Click "Flash Image..." under "Flash new firmware image"
  c.  Click "Browse..." and then select the sysupgrade file.
  d.  Click Upload to upload the sysupgrade file.
  e.  Important:  uncheck "Keep settings and retain the current
      configuration" for this initial installation.
  f.  Click "Continue" to flash the firmware.
  g.  The device will reboot and OpenWRT is installed.

Backup the OEM Firmware:
-----------------------

There isn't any downloadable firmware for the ALLY devices on the Amped
Wireless web site. Reverting back to the OEM firmware is not possible
unless we have a backup of the original OEM firmware.

The OEM firmware may be stored on either /dev/mtd3 ("firmware") or
/dev/mtd6 ("oem").  We can't be sure which was overwritten with the
initramfs image, so backup both partitions to be safe.

  1) Once logged into LuCI, navigate to System -> Backup/Flash Firmware.
  2) Under "Save mtdblock contents," first select "firmware" and click
  "Save mtdblock" to download the image.
  3) Repeat the process, but select "oem" from the pull-down menu.

Revert to the OEM Firmware:
--------------------------
* U-boot TFTP:
  Follow the TFTP recovery steps for the Extender, and use the
  backup image.

* OpenWrt "Flash Firmware" interface:
  Upload the backup image and select "Force update"
  before continuing.

* Buttons: Reset, WPS.
* UART: Serial console (115200 8n1), J1(GND:3)
* USB: One USB2 port.

Installation:
------------

Install the OpenWrt factory image for C6U is from the
TP-Link web interface.

1) Go to "Advanced/System Tools/Firmware Update".
2) Click "Browse" and upload the OpenWrt factory image:
openwrt-ramips-mt7621-tplink_archer-c6u-v1-squashfs-factory.bin.
3) Click the "Upgrade" button, and select "Yes" when prompted.

Recovery to stock firmware:
--------------------------

The C6U bootloader has a failsafe mode that provides a web
interface (running at 192.168.0.1) for reverting back to the
stock TP-Link firmware. The failsafe interface is triggered
from the serial console or on failed kernel boot. Unfortunately,
there's no key combination that enables the failsafe mode. This
gives us two options for recovery:

1) Recover using the serial console (J1 header).
The recovery interface can be selected by hitting 'x' when
prompted on boot.

2) Trigger the bootloader failsafe mode.
A more dangerous option is force the bootloader into
recovery mode by erasing the OpenWrt partition from the
OpenWrt's shell - e.g "mtd erase firmware". Please be
careful, since erasing the wrong partition can brick
your device.

While these were only warnings and the package still compiled sucessfully,
I also observed that some package even fail to build because of this.

After applying this commit, the variable $(MKHASH) is introduced. This
variable points to $(STAGING_DIR_HOST)/bin/mkhash, which is always the
correct path.

2449a63208 ramips: mt7621: Add support for ZyXEL NR7101
The ZyXEL NR7101 is an 802.3at PoE powered 5G outdoor (IP68) CPE
with integrated directional 5G/LTE antennas.

Specifications:

 - SoC: MediaTek MT7621AT
 - RAM: 256 MB
 - Flash: 128 MB MB NAND (MX30LF1G18AC)
 - WiFi: MediaTek MT7603E
 - Switch: 1 LAN port (Gigabiti)
 - 5G/LTE: Quectel RG502Q-EA connected by USB3 to SoC
 - SIM: 2 micro-SIM slots under transparent cover
 - Buttons: Reset, WLAN under same cover
 - LEDs: Multicolour green/red/yellow under same cover (visible)
 - Power: 802.3at PoE via LAN port

The device is built as an outdoor ethernet to 5G/LTE bridge or
router. The Wifi interface is intended for installation and/or
temporary management purposes only.

UART Serial:

57600N1
Located on populated 5 pin header J5:

 [o] GND
 [ ] key - no pin
 [o] RX
 [o] TX
 [o] 3.3V Vcc

Remove the SIM/button/LED cover, the WLAN button and 12 screws
holding the back plate and antenna cover together. The GPS antenna
is fixed to the cover, so be careful with the cable.  Remove 4
screws fixing the antenna board to the main board, again being
careful with the cables.

A bluetooth TTL adapter is recommended for permanent console
access, to keep the router water and dustproof. The 3.3V pin is
able to power such an adapter.

MAC addresses:

OpenWrt OEM   Address          Found as
lan     eth2  08:26:97:*:*:BC  Factory 0xe000 (hex), label
wlan0   ra0   08:26:97:*:*:BD  Factory 0x4 (hex)
wwan0   usb0  random

WARNING!!

ISP managed firmware might at any time update itself to a version
where all known workarounds have been disabled.  Never boot an ISP
managed firmware with a SIM in any of the slots if you intend to use
the router with OpenWrt. The bootloader lock can only be disabled with
root access to running firmware. The flash chip is physically
inaccessible without soldering.

Installation from OEM web GUI:

- Log in as "supervisor" on https://172.17.1.1/
- Upload OpenWrt initramfs-recovery.bin image on the
  Maintenance -> Firmware page
- Wait for OpenWrt to boot and ssh to root@192.168.1.1
- (optional) Copy OpenWrt to the recovery partition. See below
- Sysupgrade to the OpenWrt sysupgrade image and reboot

Installation from OEM ssh:

- Log in as "root" on 172.17.1.1 port 22022
- scp OpenWrt initramfs-recovery.bin image to 172.17.1.1:/tmp
- Prepare bootloader config by running:
    nvram setro uboot DebugFlag 0x1
    nvram setro uboot CheckBypass 0
    nvram commit
- Run "mtd_write -w write initramfs-recovery.bin Kernel" and reboot
- Wait for OpenWrt to boot and ssh to root@192.168.1.1
- (optional) Copy OpenWrt to the recovery partition. See below
- Sysupgrade to the OpenWrt sysupgrade image and reboot

Copying OpenWrt to the recovery partition:

- Verify that you are running a working OpenWrt recovery image
  from flash
- ssh to root@192.168.1.1 and run:
    fw_setenv CheckBypass 0
    mtd -r erase Kernel2
- Wait while the bootloader mirrors Image1 to Image2

NOTE: This should only be done after successfully booting the OpenWrt
  recovery image from the primary partition during installation.  Do
  not do this after having sysupgraded OpenWrt!  Reinstalling the
  recovery image on normal upgrades is not required or recommended.

Installation from Z-Loader:

- Halt boot by pressing Escape on console
- Set up a tftp server to serve the OpenWrt initramfs-recovery.bin
  image at 10.10.10.3
- Type "ATNR 1,initramfs-recovery.bin" at the "ZLB>" prompt
- Wait for OpenWrt to boot and ssh to root@192.168.1.1
- Sysupgrade to the OpenWrt sysupgrade image

NOTE: ATNR will write the recovery image to both primary and recovery
  partitions in one go.

Booting from RAM:

- Halt boot by pressing Escape on console
- Type "ATGU" at the "ZLB>" prompt to enter the U-Boot menu
- Press "4" to select "4: Entr boot command line interface."
- Set up a tftp server to serve the OpenWrt initramfs-recovery.bin
  image at 10.10.10.3
- Load it using "tftpboot 0x88000000 initramfs-recovery.bin"
- Boot with "bootm  0x8800017C" to skip the 380 (0x17C) bytes ZyXEL
  header

This method can also be used to RAM boot OEM firmware. The warning
regarding OEM applies!  Never boot an unknown OEM firmware, or any OEM
firmware with a SIM in any slot.

NOTE: U-Boot configuration is incomplete (on some devices?). You may
  have to configure a working mac address before running tftp using
   "setenv eth0addr <mac>"

Unlocking the bootloader:

If you are unebale to halt boot, then the bootloader is locked.

The OEM firmware locks the bootloader on every boot by setting
DebugFlag to 0.  Setting it to 1 is therefore only temporary
when OEM firmware is installed.

- Run "nvram setro uboot DebugFlag 0x1; nvram commit" in OEM firmware
- Run "fw_setenv DebugFlag 0x1" in OpenWrt

  NOTE:
    OpenWrt does this automatically on first boot if necessary

  NOTE2:
    Setting the flag to 0x1 avoids the reset to 0 in known OEM
    versions, but this might change.

  WARNING:
    Writing anything to flash while the bootloader is locked is
    considered extremely risky. Errors might cause a permanent
    brick!

Enabling management access from LAN:

Temporary workaround to allow installing OpenWrt if OEM firmware
has disabled LAN management:

- Connect to console
- Log in as "root"
- Run "iptables -I INPUT -i br0 -j ACCEPT"

Notes on the OEM/bootloader dual partition scheme

The dual partition scheme on this device uses Image2 as a recovery
image only. The device will always boot from Image1, but the
bootloader might copy Image2 to Image1 under specific conditions. This
scheme prevents repurposing of the space occupied by Image2 in any
useful way.

Validation of primary and recovery images is controlled by the
variables CheckBypass, Image1Stable, and Image1Try.

The bootloader sets CheckBypass to 0 and reboots if Image1 fails
validation.

If CheckBypass is 0 and Image1 is invalid then Image2 is copied to
Image1.

If CheckBypass is 0 and Image2 is invalid, then Image1 is copied to
Image2.

If CheckBypass is 1 then all tests are skipped and Image1 is booted
unconditionally.  CheckBypass is set to 1 after each successful
validation of Image1.

Image1Try is incremented if Image1Stable is 0, and Image2 is copied to
Image1 if Image1Try is 3 or larger.  But the bootloader only tests
Image1Try if CheckBypass is 0, which is impossible unless the booted
image sets it to 0 before failing.

The system is therefore not resilient against runtime errors like
failure to mount the rootfs, unless the kernel image sets CheckBypass
to 0 before failing. This is not yet implemented in OpenWrt.

Setting Image1Stable to 1 prevents the bootloader from updating
Image1Try on every boot, saving unnecessary writes to the environment
partition.

Keeping an OpenWrt initramfs recovery as Image2 is recommended
primarily to avoid unwanted OEM firmware boots on failure. Ref the
warning above. It enables console-less recovery in case of some
failures to boot from Image1.
