TP-Link and ASUS OnHub devices are very similar, sharing many of the
same characteristics and much of their Device Tree. They both run a
version of ChromeOS for their factory firmware, and so installation
instructions look very similar to Google Wifi [1].
Things I've tested, and are working:
* Ethernet
* WiFi (2.4 and 5 GHz)
* LEDs
* USB
* eMMC
* Serial console (if you wire it up yourself)
* 2x CPU
* Speaker
== Installation instructions summary ==
1. Flash *-factory.bin to a USB drive (e.g., with `dd`)
2. Insert USB drive, to boot OpenWrt from USB
3. Copy the same *-factory.bin over to device, and flash it to eMMC to
make OpenWrt permanent
== Developer mode, booting from USB (Step 2) ==
To enter Developer Mode and boot OpenWrt from a USB stick:
1. Unplug power
2. Gain access to the "developer switch" through the bottom of the
device
3. Hold down the "reset switch" (near the USB port / power plug)
4. Plug power back in
5. The LED on the device should turn white, then blink orange, then
red. Release the reset switch.
6. Insert USB drive with OpenWrt factory.bin
7. Press the hidden developer switch under the device to boot to USB;
you should see some activity lights (if you have any) on your USB
drive
8. Depending on your configuration, the router's LED(s) should come on.
You're now running OpenWrt off a USB stick.
These instructions are derived from:
https://www.exploitee.rs/index.php/Rooting_The_Google_OnHub#Enabling_%22Developer_Mode%22_on_the_OnHubhttps://www.exploitee.rs/index.php/Asus_OnHub#Enabling_%22Developer_Mode%22_on_the_OnHub
~~Finding the developer switch:~~ for TP-Link, the developer switch is
on the bottom of the device, underneath some of the rubber padding and a
screw. For ASUS, remove the entire base, via 4 screws under the rubber
feet. See the Exploitee instructions for more info and photos.
== Making OpenWrt permanent (on eMMC) (Step 3) ==
Once you're running OpenWrt via USB:
1. Connect Ethernet to the LAN port; router's LAN address should be at
192.168.1.1
2. Connect another system to the router's LAN, and copy the factory.bin
image over, via SCP and SSH:
scp -O openwrt-ipq806x-chromium-tplink_onhub-squashfs-factory.bin root@192.168.1.1:
ssh root@192.168.1.1 -C "dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 seek=7552991 of=/dev/mmcblk0 count=33 && \
dd if=/root/openwrt-ipq806x-chromium-tplink_onhub-squashfs-factory.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0"
3. Reboot and remove the USB drive.
== Developer mode beep ==
Note that every time you boot the OnHub in developer mode, the device
will play a loud "beep" after a few seconds. This is described in the
Chromium docs [2], and is intended to make it clear that the device is
not running Google software. It is nontrivial to completely disable this
beep, although it's possible to "acknowledge" developer mode (and skip
the beep) by using a USB keyboard to press CTRL+D every time you boot.

Similar to commit 4d8b42d8a7 ("ipq40xx: point to externally compiled
dtbs in recipes").
Currently, we patch our DTS files into the kernel source tree, so the
kernel build process will produce DTBs for us. The kernel-to-DTS
dependency can cause buildroot to perform excessive rebuilds of the
kernel though, which slows down device development iteration.
Buildroot also compiles DTBs on its own, to
$(KDIR)/image-$(DEVICE_DTS).dtb. With small adjustments, we can leverage
this, and stop patching DTS files into the kernel Makefile at the same
time.

It was tested that cache scaling currently cause instability problem.
This is probably caused by a latent misconfiguration that cause the L2
cache to be sourced from the wrong source and runs at an unstable freq
compared to the original QSDK fw.
To improve stability while the problem is bisected, disable the devfreq
drivers with minimal perf penality.

Zyxel NGB6817 is the only router that use mmc for rootfs. Upstream
kernel dtsi have mmc-ddr-1_8v enabled for sddc1. This is wrong as mmc on
ipq806x is supplied by a fixed 3.3v regulator and can't operate at 1.8v.
This cause the sddc1 to malfunction and cause kernel panic.
In old 5.15 version this was disabled but it was put in addition to many
other changes so it was dropped silently. Restore this patch to fix
working condition of such router.
