Like with some other ipq40xx devices, the kernel image size for the WPJ428
is limited in stock u-boot. For that reason, the current release doesn't
include an image for the board.
By switching to the zImage format, the kernel image size is reduced which
re-enables the build process. The image boots and behaved normally through
a few days of testing.
Before the switch to kernel version 6.1, it was possible to reduce the
image size by enough when disabling UBIFS and its otherwise unneeded
dependencies.

console and it is TDB how to solder one. Possibly J12 is UART with
pin1 = 3.3V, pin2 = GND, pin3 = TXD, pin4 = RXD.
- Settings: 115200 8N1
Installation With Serial Console
--------------------------------
1. Attach to the Console port. Power up the device and press the s key
to interrupt autoboot.
2. The default username / password to the bootloader is admin / new2day
3. Check uboot variables using printenv, and update if necessary:
$ setenv AP_MODE 0
$ setenv WATCHDOG_COUNT 0
$ setenv WATCHDOG_LIMIT 0
$ setenv AP_PERSONALITY identifi
$ setenv serverip <SERVER_IPADDR>
$ setenv ipaddr <UNIQUE_IPADDR>
$ setenv MOSTRECENTKERNEL 0; ## OpenWRT only uses the primary image
$ saveenv
$ saveenv ## 2nd time to write the secondary copy
4. On the TFTP server located at <SERVER_IPADDR>, download the OpenWrt
initramfs image. Rename and serve it as vmlinux.gz.uImage.3912
5. TFTP boot the OpenWrt initramfs image from the AP serial console:
$ run boot_net
6. Wait for OpenWrt to start. Internet port sw-eth5 is assiged to LAN
bridge and sw-eth4 (if available) is assigned to WAN. The LAN port
will use default IP address 192.168.1.1 and run a DHCP server.
If you already have a working DHCP server or already have 192.168.1.1
on your network you MUST DISCONNECT the LAN cable from your active
network immediately after the power/status LED turns green!
At this point, you need to temporarily reconfigure the AP to have
a way to transfer the OpenWRT sysupgrade image to it.
Reconfigure the newly converted OpenWRT AP using serial console or
plug in a PC to a sw-eth5 as a separate network. Note -- the LAN/WAN
port assignments were designed to make it possible to convert to
OpenWRT without serial console and using a common firmware
image for many AP models -- they may not make the most sense when
fully deployed.
7. Download and transfer the sysupgrade image to the device using e.g.
SCP.
8. Install OpenWrt to the device using "sysupgrade"
$ sysupgrade -n /path/to/openwrt.bin
9. After it boots up again, as in step 6, connect to AP and reconfigure
for final deployment.
This build supports APs in the AP391x series and similar such as WiNG
AP7662.
Ethernet devices within OpenWRT are named "sw-eth1" thru "sw-eth5".
Mapping from OpenWRT internal naming to external naming on the case is
as follows:
```
|sw-eth1|sw-eth2|sw-eth3|sw-eth4|sw-eth5
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP3917 | | | | GE2 | GE1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP7662 | | | | GE2 | GE1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP3916 | | | | CAM* | GE1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP3915 | | | | | GE1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP3912 | | P1 | P2 | P3 | LAN1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
```
By default sw-eth4 is mapped to WAN. All others are assigned to the
LAN.
CAM* - On AP3916, sw-eth4 is the camera's interface. You should
reconfigure this to be on LAN after OpenWRT boots from flash.
Installation Without Serial Console
-----------------------------------
The main premise is to set u-boot environment variables using the
Extreme Networks firmware's rdwr_boot_cfg program.
$ rdwr_boot_cfg
Utility to manipulate the boot ROM config blocks
All errors are written to the sytem log file (/tmp/log/ap.log)
```
Usage: rdwr_boot_cfg <read_all|read_var|read_var_f|write_var|rm_var> ...
read_all read the entire active block
read_var <var> read a single variable from the active block
read_var_f <var> read a single variable from the active block
(formatted)
write_var <var=val> write a single variable/value pair to both
blocks
rm_var <var> delete a single variable from both blocks
```
WARNING: Be very sure you have set the u-boot environment correctly.
If not, it can only be fixed by attaching serial console!
Be aware that the Extreme Networks shell environment will automatically
reboot every 5 minutes if there is no controller present.
Read and understand these steps fully before attempting. It is easy
to make mistakes!
1. Place the OpenWRT initramfs on the TFTP server and name it as
vmlinux.gz.uImage.3912
2. Boot up to Extreme Networks WING-Campus mode OS. Port GE1/LAN1
will be a DHCP **client**. Find out the IP address from your DHCP
server and SSH in. Default user/passwd is admin/new2day or
admin/admin123.
If it is booting to WING-Distributed mode, use this command to
convert to Campus mode.
$ operational-mode centralized
3. Upon bootup you have about 5mins to changed these u-boot variables
if necessary using the rdwr_boot_cfg command in Linux shell:
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var AP_MODE=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var MOSTRECENTKERNEL=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var WATCHDOG_COUNT=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var WATCHDOG_LIMIT=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var AP_PERSONALITY=identifi
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var serverip=<SERVER_IPADDR>
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var ipaddr=<UNIQUE_IPADDR>
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var bootcmd="run boot_net"
4. Reboot AP.
5. Connect PC with ethernet to GE1/LAN1 port. You should get a
DHCP address in the 192.168.1.x range and should be able to
SSH to the new OpenWRT TFTP recovery/installation shell.
6. At this point, u-boot is still set to TFTP boot, so you have to
replace the TFTP image with the original Extreme Networks image so
that you can change the u-boot environment.
See the instructions for Extracting Extreme Networks firmware
image.
DON'T REBOOT YET!
7. Next you must follow steps 6 thru 8 from the Installation with serial
console. After which you should have OpenWRT installed to primary
flash firmware.
8. Now Reboot. This time it will boot using TFTP into Extreme Networks
image. You may need to reconnect cables at this point -- GE1/LAN1
will be a DHCP **client** and you can SSH in -- just like step 2.
Get the IP address from you own DHCP server.
9. Set u-boot env as follows:
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var MOSTRECENTKERNEL=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var WATCHDOG_COUNT=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var bootcmd="run boot_flash"
10. Reboot AP. This time it should be into OpenWRT. GE1/LAN1 will be
a DHCP **server** and have static IP 192.168.1.1 -- just like step 5.
11. SSH into the LAN port and reconfigure to final configuration. Don't
make any changes that prevent you from SSH or Luci access!
Restoring Extreme Networks firmware
-----------------------------------
Assuming you have the original Extreme Networks image:
1. Login to OpenWRT shell
2. scp the Extreme Networks packaged firmware image file AP391x-*.img to
/tmp
3. Extract the firmware uimage file:
$ tar xjf AP391x-*.img vmlinux.gz.uImage
4. Force run sysupgrade:
$ sysupgrade -F /tmp/AP391x-*.img /
5. Restore the u-boot varable(s):
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var WATCHDOG_LIMIT=3
USB 2.0 Port on AP3915e

Enable this by setting LED "eth:amber_or_usb_enable" to ALWAYS ON.

The ZTE MF282 Plus is a LTE router used (exclusively?) by the network
operator "3". It is very similar to the MF286/MF287 but in the form factor
of the MF282.
Specifications
==============
SoC: IPQ4019
RAM: 256MiB
Flash: 8MiB SPI-NOR + 128MiB SPI-NAND
LAN: 1x GBit LAN
LTE: ZTE Cat6
WiFi: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac SoC-integrated
MAC addresses
=============
LAN: from config
WiFi 1: from config + 1
WiFi 2: from config + 2
Installation
============
Option 1 - TFTP
---------------
TFTP installation using UART is preferred. Disassemble the device and
connect serial. Put the initramfs image as openwrt.bin to your TFTP server
and configure a static IP of 192.168.1.100. Load the initramfs image by
typing:
setenv serverip 192.168.1.100
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
tftpboot 0x84000000 openwrt.bin
bootm 0x84000000
From this intiramfs boot you can take a backup of the currently installed
partitions as no vendor firmware is available for download:
ubiattach -m9
cat /dev/ubi0_0 > /tmp/ubi0_0
cat /dev/ubi0_1 > /tmp/ubi0_1
Copy the files /tmp/ubi0_0 and /tmp/ubi0_1 somewhere save.
Once booted, transfer the sysupgrade image and run sysupgrade. You might
have to delete the stock volumes first:
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
Option 2 - From stock firmware
------------------------------
The installation from stock requires an exploit first. The exploit consists
of a backup file that forces the firmware to download telnetd via TFTP from
192.168.0.22 and run it. Once exploited, you can connect via telnet and
login as admin:admin.
The exploit will be available at the device wiki page.
Once inside the stock firmware, you can transfer the -factory.bin file to
/tmp by using "scp" from the stock frmware or "tftp".
ZTE has blocked writing to the NAND. Fortunately, it's easy to allow write
access - you need to read from one file in /proc. Once done, you need to
erase the UBI partition and flash OpenWrt. Before performing the operation,
make sure that mtd9 is the partition labelled "rootfs" by calling
"cat /proc/mtd".
Complete commands:
cd /tmp
tftp -g -r factory.bin 192.168.0.22
cat /proc/driver/sensor_id
flash_erase /dev/mtd9 0 0
dd if=/tmp/factory.bin of=/dev/mtdblock9 bs=131072
Afterwards, reboot your device and you should have a working OpenWrt
installation.

=============
Option 1 - via UART
-------------------
Boot an OpenWrt initramfs image via TFTP as for the initial installation.
Transfer the two backed-up files to your box to /tmp.
Then, run the following commands - replace $kernel_length and $rootfs_size
by the size of ubi0_0 and ubi0_1 in bytes.
ubiattach -m 9
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs_data

ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs -s $rootfs_size
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_0 /tmp/ubi0_0
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_1 /tmp/ubi0_1
Option 2 - from within OpenWrt
------------------------------
This option requires to flash an initramfs version first so that access
to the flash is possible. This can be achieved by sysupgrading to the
recovery.bin version and rebooting. Once rebooted, you are again in a
default OpenWrt installation, but no partition is mounted.
Follow the commands from Option 1 to flash back to stock.
LTE Modem
=========
The LTE modem is similar to the MF286R, it provides an RNDIS interface
and an AT interface.
Other Notes
===========
There is one GPIO Switch "Power button blocker" which, if enabled, does not
trigger a reset of the SoC if the modem reboots. If disabled, the SoC is
rebooted along with the modem. The modem can be rebooted via the exported
GPIO "modem-reset" in /sys/class/gpio.

DK01 and DK04 board support has been in a form of 2 patches that we have
been carrying for a long time.
Both of the patches contain weird changes, dont follow any DT syntax and I
honestly doubt they are even valid.
DK01 and DK04 also have not been converted to DSA even after a long time
and I doubt that anybody in the community even has these boards as they are
QCA reference boards that are not even obtainable anymore.
Since patches for these 2 boards have been just causing us pain when trying
to update the kernel to a new major release or even point releases lets
remove the support for these boards, and if there are users they can easily
be reinstated.

It seems that the Meraki bootloader does not respect the kernel ARM booting
specification[1] that requires that address where DTB is located needs to
be 64-bit aligned and often places the DTB on a non 64-bit aligned address
and then kernel fails to find the DTB magic and fails to boot.
Even worse, there is no prints until early printk is enabled and then its
visible that kernel is trying to find the ATAG-s as DTB was not found or
is invalid.
Unifi 6 devices had the same issue and it can be solved by passing the
load adress as part of the FIT image.
It seems that the vendor was aware of the issue and is always relocating
the DTB to 0x89000000, so lets just do the same.
Now that booting is reliable, reenable default images for the Meraki MR33

something that the ath10k driver supports.
Until this feature either gets implemented - which is
very unlikely -, or the upstream boardfile is mended
(both, the original submitter and ath10k-firmware

and use its own bespoke boardfile. This unfortunately

After migrating to kernel 5.15, upgrading causes the units to become
soft-bricked, hanging forever at the kernel startup.
Kernel size limitation of 4000000 bytes is suspected here, but this is
not fully confirmed.
Disable the images to protect users from inadvertent bricking of units,
because recovery of those is painful with Cisco's U-boot, until the root
cause is found and fixed.

Currently, e2600ac-c1 cannot be built as the kernel is larger than the defined KERNEL_SIZE,
however, there is no bootloader limit for the kernel size so remove KERNEL_SIZE completely.

- The three WiFis were fully tested and are configured with the same settings as in the vendor firmware.
- The specific board files were submitted to the ATH10k mailing list but I'm still waiting for a reply. They can be removed once they are approved upstream.
- Two ethernet ports are accessible on the device. By default one is configured as WAN and the other one is LAN. They are fully working.
Bluetooth:
========
- Fully working with the following caveats:
- RFKILL need to be enabled in the kernel.
- An older version of bluez is needed as bccmd is needed to configure the chip.
Zigbee:
======
- The spidev device is available in the /dev directory.
- GPIOs are configured the same way as in the vendor firmware.
- Tests are on-going. I am working on getting access to the Silicon Labs stack to validate that it is fully working.
Installation:
=========
The squash-factory image can be installed via the Linksys Web UI:
1. Open "http://192.168.1.1/ca" (Change the IP with the IP of your device).
2. Login with your admin password.
3. To enter into the support mode, click on the "CA" link and the bottom of the page.
4. Open the "Connectivity" menu and upload the squash-factory image with the "Choose file" button.
5. Click start. Ignore all the prompts and warnings by click "yes" in all the popups.
The device uses a dual partition mechanism. The device automatically revert to the previous partition after 3 failed boot attempts.
If you want to force the previous firmware to load, you can turn off and then turn on the device for 2 seconds, 3 times in a row.
It can also be done via TFTP:
1. Setup a local TFTP server and configure its IP to 192.168.1.100.
2. Rename your image to "nodes_v2.img" and put it to the TFTP root of your server.
3. Connect to the device through the serial console.
4. Power on device and press enter when prompted to drop into U-Boot.
5. Flash the partition of your choice by typing "run flashimg" or "run flashimg2".
6. Once flashed, enter "reset" to reboot the device.

Bootloader: U-Boot
On board ZWave and Zigbee (EFR32 MG1P232GG..) modules ( not supported by orginal software )
Installation
1.Open MF18A case by ungluing rubber pad under the router and unscrew screws, and connect to serial console port,
with the following pinout, starting from pin 1, which is the topmost pin when the board is upright (reset button on the bottom) :
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.
2.Place OpenWrt initramfs image for the device on a TFTP in the server's root. This example uses Server IP: 192.168.0.2
3.Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port (WAN/LAN1).
4.Power on MF18A , stop in u-Boot (using ESC button) and run u-Boot commands:
setenv serverip 192.168.0.2
setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.1
set fdt_high 0x85000000
tftpboot 0x84000000 openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-zte_mf18a-initramfs-fit-zImage.itb
bootm 0x84000000
5.Please make backup of original partitions, if you think about revert to stock, specially mtd8 (Web UI) and mtd9 (rootFS). Use /tmp as temporary storage and do:
WEB PARITION
cat /dev/mtd8 > /tmp/mtd8.bin
scp /tmp/mtd8.bin root@YOURSERVERIP:/
rm /tmp/mtd8.bin
ROOT PARITION
cat /dev/mtd9 > /tmp/mtd9.bin
scp /tmp/mtd9.bin root@YOURSERVERIP:/
rm /tmp/mtd9.bin
If you are sure ,that you want to flash openwrt, from uBoot, before bootm, clean rootfs partition with command:
nand erase 0x1800000 0x1D00000
6.Login via ssh or serial and remove stock partitions (default IP 192.168.1.1):
ubiattach -m 9 # it could return error if ubi was attached before or rootfs part was erased before
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs # it could return error if rootfs part was erased before
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs_data # some devices doesn't have it
7. Install image via :
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-zte_mf18a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
previously wgeting bin. Sometimes it could print ubi attach error, but please ignore it if process goes forward.
Back to Stock (!!! need original dump taken from initramfs !!!) -------------
Place mtd8.bin and mtd9.bin initramfs image for the device on a TFTP in the server's root. This example uses Server IP: 192.168.0.2
Connect serial console (115200,8n1) to serial console connector .
Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port (WAN/LAN1).
rename mtd8.bin to web.img and mtd9.bin to root_uImage_s
Stop in u-Boot (using ESC button) and run u-Boot commands:
This will erase Web and RootFS:
nand erase 0x1000000 0x800000
nand erase 0x1800000 0x1D00000
This will restore RootFS:
tftpboot 0x84000000 root_uImage_s
nand erase 0x1800000 0x1D00000
nand write 0x84000000 0x1800000 0x1D00000
This will restore Web Interface:
tftpboot 0x84000000 web.img
nand erase 0x1000000 0x800000
nand write 0x84000000 0x1000000 0x800000

Update the board name defined in DTS to match online documentation and the
name encoded into factory firmware. This helps supports flashing firmware
factory images using 'sysupgrade'.
Original WHW01 device definition assumes the rootfs IMAGE_SIZE is 33 MB
instead of the correct 74 MB, and defines factory images which include
extra adjustments/padding that do not match OEM factory images and may
cause problems flashing. Update image size and build recipe to fix these.
Suggested-by: Wyatt Martin <wawowl@gmail.com>
Signed-off-by: Tony Ambardar <itugrok@yahoo.com>
Raise the kernel size from 3 MB to 5 MB for EA6350v3, EA8300 and MR8300,
and correspondingly reduce the rootfs size by 2 MB:
* modify partition definitions in related .dts files
* modify device kernel/image sizes in generic.mk
Update to compat-version 2.0 to force factory image usage on sysupgrade,
noting the current version 1.1 is an unreleased update for DSA migration.
Also update the compat-version message, explaining the need to run one of
the following console commands to update U-Boot's kernel-size variable
before flashing the OpenWrt factory image.
fw_setenv kernsize 500000 # (OpenWrt command line)
setenv kernsize 500000 ; saveenv # (U-Boot serial console)
Finally, re-enable the 3 devices.
