* AR9342, 16 MiB Flash, 64 MiB RAM, 802.11n 2T2R, 2.4 GHz
* 1x Gigabit Ethernet (AR8035), 802.3af PoE
Installation:
* OEM Web UI is at 192.168.1.2
login as `admin` with password `1234`
* Flash factory-AABJ.bin
The string `AABJ` needs to be present within the file name of the uploaded
image to be accepted by the OEM Web-based updater, the factory image is
named accordingly to save the user from the hassle of manual renaming.
TFTP Recovery:
* Open the case, connect to TTL UART port (this is the official method
described by Zyxel, the reset button is useless during power-on)
* Extract factory image (.tar.bz2), serve `vmlinux_mi124_f1e.lzma.uImage`
and `mi124_f1e-jffs2` via tftp at 192.168.1.10
* Interrupt uboot countdown, execute commands
`run lk`
`run lf`
to flash the kernel / filesystem accordingly

has to be uploaded to the PLC controller at every system start
the PLC functionality is managed by the script /etc/init.d/plc_basic,
a very basic script based on the the one from Netadair (netadair dot de)

Additional notes:
the pairing buttons have to have pressed for at least half a second,
it doesn't matter on which plc device (master or slave) first
it is possible to pair the devices without the button-pairing requirement
simply by pressing reset on the slave device. This will default to the
firmware settings, which is also how the plc_basic script is setting up
the master device, i.e. configuring it to firmware defaults
the PL-E56P slave PLC has its dedicated 4MByte SPI, thus it is capable
to store all firmware currently available. Note that some other
slave devices are not guarantied to have the capacity for the newer
~1MByte firmware blobs!
To have a good overlook about the slave device, here are its specs:
same QCA7500 PLC controller, same w631gg6kb-15 128MB RAM,

The bootloader on this board hid the partition containig MAC addresses
and prevented adding this space to FIS directory, therefore those had to
be stored in RedBoot configuration as aliases to be able to assigne them
to proper interfaces. Now that fixed partition size are used instead of
redboot-fis parser, the partition containig MAC addresses could be
specified, and with marking it as nvmem cell, we can assign them without
userspace involvement.

This commit adds support for the TP-Link Deco M4R (it can also be M4,
TP-Link uses both names) v1 and v2. It is similar hardware-wise to the
Archer C6 v2. Software-wise it is very different. V2 has a bit different
layout from V1 but the chips are the same and the OEM firmware is the same
for both versions.
Specifications:
SoC: QCA9563-AL3A
RAM: Zentel A3R1GE40JBF
Wireless 2.4GHz: QCA9563-AL3A (main SoC)
Wireless 5GHz: QCA9886
Ethernet Switch: QCA8337N-AL3C
Flash: 16 MB SPI NOR
Flashing:
The device's bootloader only accepts images that are signed using
TP-Link's RSA key, therefore this way of flashing is not possible. The
device has a web GUI that should be accessible after setting up the device
using the app (it requires the app to set it up first because the web GUI
asks for the TP-Link account password) but for unknown reasons, the web
GUI also refuses custom images.
There is a debug firmware image that has been shared on the device's
OpenWrt forum thread that has telnet unlocked, which the bootloader will
accept because it is signed. It can be used to transfer an OpenWrt image
file over to the device and then be used with mtd to flash the device.
Pre-requisites:
- Debug firmware.
- A way of transferring the file to the router, you can use an FTP server
as an example.
- Set a static IP of 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0 on your computer.
- OpenWrt image.
Installation:
- Unplug your router and turn it upside down. Using a long and thin object
like a SIM unlock tool, press and hold the reset button on the router and
replug it. Keep holding it until the LED flashes yellow.
- Open 192.168.0.1. You should see the bootloader recovery's webpage.
Choose the debug firmware that you downloaded and flash it. Wait until the
router reboots (at this stage you can remove the static IP).
- Open a terminal window and connect to the router via telnet (the primary
router should have a 192.168.0.1 IP address, secondary routers are
different).
- Transfer the file over to the router, you can use curl to download it
from the internet (use the insecure flag and make sure your source accepts
insecure downloads) or from an FTP server.
- The router's default mtd partition scheme has kernel and rootfs
separated. We can use dd to split the OpenWrt image file and flash it with
mtd:
dd if=openwrt.bin of=kernel.bin skip=0 count=8192 bs=256
dd if=openwrt.bin of=rootfs.bin skip=8192 bs=256
- Once the images are ready, you have to flash the device using mtd
(make sure to flash the correct partitions or you may be left with a
hard bricked router):
mtd write kernel.bin kernel
mtd write rootfs.bin rootfs
- Flashing is done, reboot the device now.

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:

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

These devices only have 6MiB available for firmware, which is not
enough for recent release images, so move these to the tiny target.
Note for users sysupgrading from the previous ath79-generic snapshot
images:
The tiny target kernel has a 4Kb flash erase block size instead
of the generic target's 64kb. This means the JFFS2 overlay partition
containing settings must be reformatted with the new block size or else
there will be data corruption.
To do this, backup your settings before upgrading, then during the
sysupgrade, de-select "Keep Settings". On the CLI, use "sysupgrade -n".
If you forget to do this and your system becomes unstable after
upgrading, you can do this to format the partition and recover:
* Reboot
* Press RESET when Power LED blinks during boot to enter Failsafe mode
* SSH to 192.168.1.1
* Run "firstboot" and reboot

**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

TP-Link Archer A9 v6 (FCCID: TE7A9V6) is an AC1900 Wave-2 gigabit home
router based on a combination of Qualcomm QCN5502 (most likely a 4x4:4
version of the QCA9563 WiSOC), QCA9984 and QCA8337N.
The vendor's firmware content reveals that the same device might be
available on the US market under name 'Archer C90 v6'. Due to lack of
access to such hardware, support introduced in this commit was tested
only on the EU version (sold under 'Archer A9 v6' name).
Based on the information on the PL version of the vendor website, this
device has been already phased out and is no longer available.
Specifications:
- Qualcomm QCN5502 (775 MHz)
- 128 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 16 MB of flash (SPI NOR)
- 5x Gbps Ethernet (Qualcomm QCA8337N over SGMII)
- Wi-Fi:
- 802.11b/g/n on 2.4 GHz: Qualcomm QCN5502* in 4x4:4 mode
- 802.11a/n/ac on 5 GHz: Qualcomm QCA9984 in 3x3:3 mode
- 3x non-detachable, dual-band external antennas (~3.5 dBi for 5 GHz,
~2.2 dBi for 2.4 GHz, IPEX/U.FL connectors)
- 1x internal PCB antenna for 2.4 GHz (~1.8 dBi)
- 1x USB 2.0 Type-A
- 11x LED (4x connected to QCA8337N, 7x connected to QCN5502)
- 2x button (reset, WPS)
- UART (4-pin, 2.54 mm pitch) header on PCB (not populated)
- 1x mechanical power switch
- 1x DC jack (12 V)
*) unsupported due to missing support for QCN550x in ath9k
UART system serial console notice:
The RX signal of the main SOC's UART on this device is shared with the
WPS button's GPIO. The first-stage U-Boot by default disables the RX,
resulting in a non-functional UART input.
If you press and keep 'ENTER' on the serial console during early
boot-up, the first-stage U-Boot will enable RX input.
Vendor firmware allows password-less access to the system over serial.
Flash instruction (vendor GUI):
1. It is recommended to first upgrade vendor firmware to the latest
version (1.1.1 Build 20210315 rel.40637 at the time of writing).
2. Use the 'factory' image directly in the vendor's GUI.
Flash instruction (TFTP based recovery in second-stage U-Boot):
1. Rename 'factory' image to 'ArcherA9v6_tp_recovery.bin'
2. Setup a TFTP server on your PC with IP 192.168.0.66/24.
3. Press and hold the reset button for ~5 sec while turning on power.
4. The device will download image, flash it and reboot.
Flash instruction (web based recovery in first-stage U-Boot):
1. Use 'CTRL+C' during power-up to enable CLI in first-stage U-Boot.
2. Connect a PC with IP set to 192.168.0.1 to one of the LAN ports.
3. Issue 'httpd' command and visit http://192.168.0.1 in browser.
4. Use the 'factory' image.
If you would like to restore vendor's firmware, follow one of the
recovery methods described above.

The device itself requires the mtdparts from the uboot arguments to
properly boot the flashed image and to support dual-boot (primary +
recovery image). Unfortunately, the name of the mtd device in mtdparts is
still using the legacy name "ar7240-nor0" which must be supplied using the
Linux-specfic DT parameter linux,mtd-name to overwrite the generic name
"spi0.0".
Flashing instructions:
======================
Various methods can be used to install the actual image on the flash.
Two easy ones are:
ap51-flash
----------
The tool ap51-flash (https://github.com/ap51-flash/ap51-flash) should be
used to transfer the image to the u-boot when the device boots up.
initramfs from TFTP
-------------------
The serial console must be used to access the u-boot shell during bootup.
It can then be used to first boot up the initramfs image from a TFTP server
(here with the IP 192.168.1.21):
setenv serverip 192.168.1.21
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
tftpboot 0c00000 <filename-of-initramfs-kernel>.bin && bootm $fileaddr
The actual sysupgrade image can then be transferred (on the LAN port) to the
device via
scp <filename-of-squashfs-sysupgrade>.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
On the device, the sysupgrade must then be started using
sysupgrade -n /tmp/<filename-of-squashfs-sysupgrade>.bin

Flashing instructions:
======================
Various methods can be used to install the actual image on the flash.
Two easy ones are:
ap51-flash
----------
The tool ap51-flash (https://github.com/ap51-flash/ap51-flash) should be
used to transfer the image to the u-boot when the device boots up.
initramfs from TFTP
-------------------
The serial console must be used to access the u-boot shell during bootup.
It can then be used to first boot up the initramfs image from a TFTP server
(here with the IP 192.168.1.21):
setenv serverip 192.168.1.21
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
tftpboot 0c00000 <filename-of-initramfs-kernel>.bin && bootm $fileaddr
The actual sysupgrade image can then be transferred (on the LAN port) to the
device via
scp <filename-of-squashfs-sysupgrade>.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
On the device, the sysupgrade must then be started using
sysupgrade -n /tmp/<filename-of-squashfs-sysupgrade>.bin

Obtain SSH Access
1. Download and flash the firmware version 1.3.8 (China).
2. Login to the router web interface and get the value of `stok=` from the
URL
3. Open a new tab and go to the following URL (replace <STOK> with the stok
value gained above; line breaks are only for easier handling, please put
together all four lines into a single URL without any spaces):
http://192.168.31.1/cgi-bin/luci/;stok=<STOK>/api/misystem/set_config_iotdev
?bssid=any&user_id=any&ssid=-h%0Anvram%20set%20ssh_en%3D1%0Anvram%20commit

g%27%20%2Fetc%2Finit.d%2Fdropbear%0A%2Fetc%2Finit.d%2Fdropbear%20start%0A
4. Wait 30-60 seconds (this is the time required to generate keys for the
SSH server on the router).
Create Full Backup
1. Obtain SSH Access.
2. Create backup of all flash (on router):
dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=/tmp/ALL.backup
3. Copy backup to PC (on PC):
scp root@192.168.31.1:/tmp/ALL.backup ./
Tip: backup of the original firmware, taken three times, increases the
chances of recovery :)
Calculate The Password
* Locally using shell (replace "12345/E0QM98765" with your router's serial
number):
On Linux
printf "%s6d2df50a-250f-4a30-a5e6-d44fb0960aa0" "12345/E0QM98765" | \
md5sum - | head -c8 && echo
On macOS
printf "%s6d2df50a-250f-4a30-a5e6-d44fb0960aa0" "12345/E0QM98765" | \
md5 | head -c8
* Locally using python script (replace "12345/E0QM98765" with your
router's serial number):
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eisaev/ax3600-files/master/scripts/calc_passwd.py
python3.7 -c 'from calc_passwd import calc_passwd; print(calc_passwd("12345/E0QM98765"))'

Debricking (lite)
If you have a healthy bootloader, you can use recovery via TFTP using
programs like TinyPXE on Windows or dnsmasq on Linux. To switch the router
to TFTP recovery mode, hold down the reset button, connect the power
supply, and release the button after about 10 seconds. The router must be
connected directly to the PC via the LAN port.
Debricking
You will need a full dump of your flash, a CH341 programmer, and a clip
for in-circuit programming.
Install OpenWRT
1. Obtain SSH Access.
2. Create script (on router):
echo '#!/bin/sh' > /tmp/flash_fw.sh
echo >> /tmp/flash_fw.sh
echo '. /bin/boardupgrade.sh' >> /tmp/flash_fw.sh
echo >> /tmp/flash_fw.sh
echo 'board_prepare_upgrade' >> /tmp/flash_fw.sh
echo 'mtd erase rootfs_data' >> /tmp/flash_fw.sh
echo 'mtd write /tmp/openwrt.bin firmware' >> /tmp/flash_fw.sh
echo 'sleep 3' >> /tmp/flash_fw.sh
echo 'reboot' >> /tmp/flash_fw.sh
echo >> /tmp/flash_fw.sh
chmod +x /tmp/flash_fw.sh
3. Copy `openwrt-ath79-generic-xiaomi_aiot-ac2350-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin`
to the router (on PC):
scp openwrt-ath79-generic-xiaomi_aiot-ac2350-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin \
root@192.168.31.1:/tmp/openwrt.bin
4. Flash OpenWRT (on router):
/bin/ash /tmp/flash_fw.sh &
5. SSH connection will be interrupted - this is normal.
6. Wait for the indicator to turn blue.

This patch adds support for the Ubiquiti PowerBeam M (XW), e.g. PBE-M5-400,
a 802.11n wireless with a feed+dish form factor. This device was previously
supported by the ar71xx loco-m-xw firmware.
Specifications:
- Atheros AR9342 SoC
- 64 MB RAM
- 8 MB SPI flash
- 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port, 24 Vdc PoE-in
- Power and LAN green LEDs
- 4x RSSI LEDs (red, orange, green, green)
- UART (115200 8N1)
Flashing via stock GUI:
- Downgrade to AirOS v5.5.x (latest available is 5.5.10-u2) first (see
https://openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/powerbeam installation instructions)
- Upload the factory image via AirOS web GUI.
Flashing via TFTP:
- Use a pointy tool (e.g., unbent paperclip) to keep the
reset button pressed.
- Power on the device (keep reset button pressed).
- Keep pressing until LEDs flash alternatively LED1+LED3 =>
LED2+LED4 => LED1+LED3, etc.
- Release reset button.
- The device starts a TFTP server at 192.168.1.20.
- Set a static IP on the computer (e.g., 192.168.1.21/24).
- Upload via tftp the factory image:
$ tftp 192.168.1.20

This commit adds support for the Teltonika RUT230 v1, a Atheros AR9331
based router with a Quectel UC20 UMTS modem.
Hardware
--------
Atheros AR9331
16 MB SPI-NOR XTX XT25F128B
64M DDR2 memory
Atheros AR9331 1T1R 802.11bgn Wireless
Boootloader: pepe2k U-Boot mod
Hardware-Revision
-----------------
There are two board revisions of the RUT230, a v0 and v1.
A HW version is silkscreened on the top of the PCBs front side as well
as shown in the Teltonika UI. However, this looks to be a different
identifier, as the GPl dump shows this silkscreened / UI shown version
are internally treated identically.
Th following mapping has been obtained from the latest GPl dump.
HW Ver 01 - 04 --> v0
HW Ver > 05 --> v1
My board was a HW Ver 09 and is treated as a v1.
Installation
------------
While attaching power, hold down the reset button and release it after
the signal LEDs flashed 3 times.
Attach your Computer with the devices LAN port and assign yourself the
IPv4 address 192.168.1.10/24. Open a web browser, navigate to
192.168.1.1. Upload the OpenWrt factory image.
The device will install OpenWrt and automatically reboots afterwards.
You can use the smae procedure with the stock firmware to return back to
the vendor firmware.
