Installation
------------
1. Place OpenWrt initramfs image for the device on a TFTP
in the server's root. This example uses Server IP: 192.168.0.2
2. Connect serial console (115200,8n1) to serial connector
GND (which is right next to the thing with MF289F MIMO-V1.0), RX, TX
(refer to this image: https://ibb.co/31Gngpr).
3. Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port (WAN/LAN1).
4. 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
tftp openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-zte_mf289f-initramfs-fit-zImage.itb
bootm $loadaddr
5. Please make backup of original partitions, if you think about revert to
stock, specially mtd16 (Web UI) and mtd17 (rootFS).
Use /tmp as temporary storage and do:
WEB PARITION
--------------------------------------
cat /dev/mtd16 > /tmp/mtd16.bin
scp /tmp/mtd16.bin root@YOURSERVERIP:/
rm /tmp/mtd16.bin
ROOT PARITION
--------------------------------------
cat /dev/mtd17 > /tmp/mtd17.bin
scp /tmp/mtd17.bin root@YOURSERVERIP:/
rm /tmp/mtd17.bin
6. Login via ssh or serial and remove stock partitions
(default IP 192.168.0.1):
# this can return an error, if ubi was attached before
# or rootfs part was erased before.
ubiattach -m 17
# it could return error if rootfs part was erased before
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs
# some devices doesn't have it
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs_data
7. download and install image via sysupgrade -n
(either use wget/scp to copy the mf289f's squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
to the device's /tmp directory)
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-...-zte_mf289f-squashfs-sysupgrade.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 !!!)
-------------
1. Place mtd16.bin and mtd17.bin initramfs image
for the device on a TFTP in the server's root.
This example uses Server IP: 192.168.0.2
2. Connect serial console (115200,8n1) to serial console
connector (refer to the pin-out from above).
3. Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port (WAN/LAN1).
4. rename mtd16.bin to web.img and mtd17.bin to root_uImage_s
5. Stop in u-Boot (using ESC button) and run u-Boot commands:
This will erase RootFS+Web:
nand erase 0x1000000 0x800000
nand erase 0x1800000 0x1D00000
This will restore RootFS:
tftpboot 0x84000000 ${dir}root_uImage_s
nand erase 0x1800000 0x1D00000
nand write $fileaddr 0x1800000 $filesize
This will restore Web Interface:
tftpboot 0x84000000 ${dir}web.img
nand erase 0x1000000 0x800000
nand write $fileaddr 0x1000000 $filesize
After first boot on stock firwmare, do a factory reset.
Push reset button for 5 seconds so all parameters will
be reverted to the one printed on label on bottom of the router

- Power : 12 VDC, 2.5 A
Flash instruction using initramfs image:
1. Prepare TFTP server with the IP address 192.168.132.100 and place the
initramfs image to TFTP directory with the name "C0A88401.img"
2. Boot NCP-HG100/Cellular and interrupt after the message
"Hit any key to stop autoboot: 2"
3. Perform the following commands and set bootcmd to allow booting from
eMMC
setenv bootcmd "mmc read 0x84000000 0x2e22 0x4000 && bootm 0x84000000"
saveenv
4. Perform the following command to load/boot the OpenWrt initramfs image
tftpboot && bootm
5. On the initramfs image, perform sysupgrade with the sysupgrade image
(if needed, backup eMMC partitions by dd command and download to
other place before performing sysupgrade)
6. Wait for ~120 seconds to complete flashing
Known issues:
- There are no drivers for audio-related chips/functions in Linux Kernel
and OpenWrt, they cannot be used.
- There is no driver for MINI54FDE Micro-Controller Unit, customized for
this device by the firmware in the MCU. This chip controls the
following functions, but they cannot be controlled in OpenWrt.
- RGB LED
- Fan
this fan is controlled automatically by MCU by default, without
driver
- Thermal Sensors (2x)
- Currently, there is no driver or tool for CY8C4014LQI and cannot be
controlled. It cannot be exited from "booting mode" and moved to "normal
op mode" after booting. And also, the 4x buttons (mic mute, vol down,
vol up, alexa trigger) connected to the IC cannot be controlled.
- it can be exited from "booting mode" by installing and executing
i2cset command:
opkg update
opkg install i2c-tools
i2cset -y 1 0x14 0xf 1
- There is a connection issue on the control by uqmi for the WWAN module.
But modemmanager can be used without any issues and the use of it is
recommended.
- With the F2FS format, too many errors are reported on erasing eMMC
partition "rootfs_data" while booting:

Note:
- The primary uart is shared for debug console and Z-Wave chip. The
function is switched by GPIO15 (Linux: 427).
value:
1: debug console
0: Z-Wave
- NCP-HG100/Cellular has 2x os-image pairs in eMMC.
- 0:HLOS, rootfs
- 0:HLOS_1, rootfs_1
In OpenWrt, the first image pair is used.
- "bootipq" command in U-Boot requires authentication with signed-image
by default. To boot unsigned image of OpenWrt, use "mmc read" and
"bootm" command instead.
- This support is for "Cellular" variant of NCP-HG100 and not tested on
"WLAN" (non-cellular) variant.
- The board files of ipq-wifi may also be used in "WLAN" variant of
NCP-HG100, but unconfirmed and add files as for "Cellular" variant.
- "NET" LED is used to indicate WWAN status in stock firmware.
- There is no MAC address information in the label on the case, use the
address included in UUID in the label as "label-MAC" instead.
- The "CLOUD" LEDs are partially used for indication of system status in
stock firmware, use they as status LEDs in OpenWrt instead of RGB LED
connected to the MCU.

The image build process was modifying the generated IMAGE_KERNEL to
append rootfs information (crc). This caused:
- sysupgrade & factory images to contain 2 times the root.squashfs
information due to both modifying the same IMAGE_KERNEL.
- the generated imagebuilder to contain an erroneous IMAGE_KERNEL that
contained references to an unexisting root.squashfs (the one from
previous cause). The RTL30VW wasn't therefore able to boot the
generated images as they contained checksums from non existing rootfs.
This commit makes sure to use a temporary IMAGE_KERNEL to append the
rootfs information for both factory and sysupgrade images.

Pakedge WR-1 is a dual-band wireless router.
Specification
SoC: Qualcomm Atheros IPQ4018
RAM: 256 MB DDR3
Flash: 32 MB SPI NOR
WIFI: 2.4 GHz 2T2R integrated
5 GHz 2T2R integrated
Ethernet: 5x 10/100/1000 Mbps QCA8075
USB: 1x 2.0
LEDS: 8x (3 GPIO controlled, 5 connected to switch)
Buttons: 1x GPIO controlled
UART: pin header J5
1. 3.3V, 2. GND, 3. TX, 4. RX
baud: 115200, parity: none, flow control: none
Installation
1. Rename initramfs image to:
openwrt-ipq806x-qcom-ipq40xx-ap.dk01.1-c1-fit-uImage-initramfs.itb
and copy it to USB flash drive with FAT32 file system.
2. Connect USB flash drive to the router and apply power while pressing
reset button. Hold the button, on the lates bootloader version, when
Power and WiFi-5 LEDs will start blinking release it. For the older
bootloader holding it for 15 seconds should suffice.
3. Now the router boots the initramfs image, at some point (close to one
minute) the Power LED will start blinking, when stops, router is fully
booted.
4. Connect to one of LAN ports and use SSH to open the shell at
192.168.1.1.
5. ATTENTION! now backup the mtd8 and mtd9 partitions, it's necessary if,
at some point, You want to go back to original firmware. The firmware
provided by manufacturer on its site is encrypted and U-Boot accepts
only decrypted factory images, so there's no way to restore original
firmware.
6. If the backup is prepared, transfer the sysupgrade image to the router
and use 'sysupgrade' command to flash it.
7. After successful flashing router will reboot. At some point the Power
LED will start blinking, wait till it stops, then router is ready for
configuration.

Adjusting dts will cause a rebuild of whole kernel as the buildroot
considers this a part of kernel source. It's a royal PITA when trying to
prepare support for new device, since this takes a lot of time on slower
systems. As it stands, buildroot itself, with own rule, also compiles
dtbs and the results are $(KDIR)/image-$(DEVICE_DTS).dtb. With setting
DEVICE_DTS_DIR to directory holding the device dts (similarly to some
other targets), buildroot doesn't consider changed dts as part of kernel
source and rebuilds only dtb. This really speeds up development. And
since the kernel built dts are no longer used, drop the paches adding
dtses to its build.

The MikroTik wAP ac (RBwAPG-5HacD2HnD) is a dual-band dual-radio
802.11ac wireless access point with integrated antenna and two Ethernet
ports in a weatherproof enclosure. See
https://mikrotik.com/product/wap_ac for more information.
Important: this is the new ipq40xx-based wAP ac, not the older
ath79-based wAP ac (RBwAPG-5HacT2HnD), already supported in OpenWrt.

- Ethernet: Built-in IPQ4018 (SoC, QCA8075), 2x 1000/100/10Mb/s ports,
one with 802.3af/at PoE in
Installation:
Boot the initramfs image via TFTP, then flash the sysupgrade image using
sysupgrade. Details at https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/common.
Notes:
This preserves the MAC addresses of the physical Ethernet ports:
- eth0 corresponds to the physical port labeled ETH1 and has the base
MAC address. This port can be used to power the device.
- eth1 corresponds to the physical port labeled ETH2 and has a MAC
address one greater than the base.
MAC addresses are set from /lib/preinit/05_set_iface_mac_ipq40xx.sh
rather than /etc/board.d/02_network so that they are in effect for
preinit. This should likely be done for other MikroTik devices and
possibly other non-MikroTik devices as well.
As this device has 2 physical ports, they are each connected to their
respective PHYs, allowing the link status to be visible to software.
Since they are not marked on the case with any role (such as LAN or
WAN), both are bridged to the lan network by default, although this can
easily be changed if needed.

"I see that variant has a space in it, does that work it correctly? My
original idea was that spaces would not be allowed, but didn't realise
to add a check for that."
Is this an easy change? Because the original author (Tim Davis) noted:
"You may substitute the & and space with something else saner if they
prove to be problematic."

Linux MTD requires the parent partition be writable for a child
partition to be allowed write permission.
In order for soft_config to be writeable (and modifiable via sysfs),
the parent RouterBoot partition must be writeable

The Meraki MR74 is part of the "Insect" series. This device is
essentially an outdoor variant of the MR33 with identical hardware, but
requiring a config@3 DTS option to be set to allow booting with the
stock u-boot.
The install procedure is replicated from the MR33, with the exception
being that the MR74 sysupgrade image must be used.

Linux' upstream MTD-Maintainer Miquèl Raynal noted:
|Reverting seems the safest option here, not knowing how many devices
|have these damaged/counterfeit chips. If it is just a couple and only on
|Fritzboxes, as suggested in the Github issue this patch could be
|carried through OpenWrt and that would seem more future proof IMHO.
This patch follows up with the first patch. It actually
moves the patches out of target/linux/generic/pending into
the ipq40xx's patch heap and adds a little note what happend.

This patch adds support for Linksys WHW01 v1 ("Velop") [FCC ID Q87-03331].
Specification
-------------
SOC: Qualcomm IPQ4018
WiFi 1: Qualcomm QCA4019 IEEE 802.11b/g/n
WiFi 2: Qualcomm QCA4019 IEEE 802.11a/n/ac
Bluetooth: Qualcomm CSR8811 (A12U)
Ethernet: Qualcomm QCA8072 (2-port)
SPI Flash 1: Mactronix MX25L1605D (2MB)
SPI Flash 2: Winbond W25M02GV (256MB)
DRAM: Nanya NT5CC128M16IP-DI (256MB)
LED Controller: NXP PCA963x (I2C)
Buttons: Single reset button (GPIO).
Notes
-----
There does not appear to be a way to trigger TFTP recovery without entering
U-Boot. The device must be opened to access the serial console in order to
first flash OpenWrt onto a device from factory.
The device has automatic recovery backed by a second set of partitions on
the larger of the two SPI flash ICs. Both the primary and secondary must
be flashed to prevent accidental rollback to "factory" after 3 failed boot
attempts.
Serial console
--------------
A serial console is available on the following pins of the populated J2
connector on the device mainboard (115200 8n1).
(<-- Top of PCB / Device)

Installation instructions
-------------------------
1. Setup TFTP server with server IP set to 192.168.1.236.
2. Copy compiled `...squashfs-factory.bin` to `nodes-jr.img` in tftp root.
3. Connect to console using pinout detailed in the serial console section.
4. Power on device and press enter when prompted to drop into U-Boot.
5. Flash first partition device via `run flashimg`.
6. Once complete, reset device and allow to power up completely.
7. Once comfortable with device upgrade reboot and drop back into U-Boot.
8. Flash the second partition (recovery) via `run flashimg2`.
Revert to "factory"
-------------------
1. Download latest firmware update from vendor support site.
2. Copy extracted `.img` file to `nodes-jr.img` in tftp root.
3. Connect to console using pinout detailed in the serial console section.
4. Power on device and press enter when prompted to drop into U-Boot.
5. Flash first partition device via `run flashimg`.
6. Once complete, reset device and allow to power up completely.
7. Once comfortable with device upgrade reboot and drop back into U-Boot.
8. Flash the second partition (recovery) via `run flashimg2`.

Aruba deploys a BDF in the root filesystem, however this matches the one
used for the DK04 reference board.
The board-specific BDFs are built into the kernel. The AP-365 shows
sinificant degraded performance with increased range when used with the
reference BDF.
Replace the BDF with the one extracted from Arubas kernel.

Avoid shipping ath10k board file in Mikrotik initram images
Most will only ever need to use these initram images once—to initially
load OpenWrt, but fix these images for more consistent Wi-Fi performance
between the initram and installed squashfs images.
OpenWrt BUILDBOT config ignores -cut packages in the initram images build.
This results in BUILDBOT initram images including the linux-firmware
qca4019 board-2.bin, and (initram image booted) Mikrotik devices loading
a generic BDF, rather than the intended BDF data loaded
from NOR as an api 1 board_file.
buildbot snapshot booted as initram image:
cat /etc/openwrt_version

Since MikroTik subtarget now uses dynamic BDF loading its crucial that it
doesnt include the board-2.bin at all which is provided by the
ath10k-board-qca4019 package.
So to resolve this dont include the ath10k-board-qca4019 package on the
MikroTik subtarget.

Since we now provide the BDF-s for MikroTik IPQ40xx devices on the fly,
there is noneed to include package and ship them like we do now.
This also resolves the performance issues that happen as MikroTik
changes the boards and ships them under the same revision but they
actually ship with and require a different BDF.

Some revisions of the FRITZ!7530 use a Toshiba NAND with 8 bit ECC in
contrast to the Macronix NAND with 4 bit ECC. This removes the hardcoded
ECC strength and step size as set in qcom-ipq4019.dtsi, thus relying on the
kernel NAND detection routines to correclty set up the ECC parameters.

them in different subdirectory in kernel tree. But now kernel 5.4 is

Also apply commit ab7e53e5cc ("ipq40xx: 5.10: fix ar40xx driver") to
5.15 driver.
The commit fixes the data corruption on TX packets. Packets are
transmitted, but their contents are replaced with zeros. This error is
caused by the lack of guard (50 ms) intervals between calibration phases.
This error is treated by adding mdelay(50) to the calibration function
code. In the original qca-ssda code, these mdelays were existing, but in
the ar41xx.c they are gone.
