The vendor U-Boot on the Cudy M3000 and the Yuncore AX835 assign random
mac addresses on boot and set the 'local-mac-address' property which
prevents Openwrt from assigning the correct address from evmem.
This patch removes the alias for ethernet0 so that U-Boot doesn't add the
property, removes the workaround from 02_network, and adds back the nvmem
definition for the M3000.

Solder on UART:
- remove rubber ring on the bottom
- remove screws
- pull up the cylinder, maybe help by push on an ethernet socket with a screwdriver
- remove the (3) screws holding the board in the frame
- remove the board from the frame to get to the screws for the silver, flat heat shield
- remove the (3) screws holding the heat shield
- solder UART pins to the back of the board
- make sure to have the pins point out on side with the black, finned heat spread
- the markings for the pins are going to be below the silver heat shield
- Vcc is not needed
If you don't intend on using the UART outside of the installation process, you might not
want to solder:
- carefully scrape off the thin layer of epoxy on the holes (not the copper)
- place your pin header with the UART attached in the holes
- the pins, starting with the one closest to the socket:
- Vcc (not required)
- GND
- RX
- TX
- either wedge the header or hold it with your fingers so that the pins stay in contact with the board
Installation (UART):
- attach an Ethernet cable to the 1Gbps port (black) on the router
- hold the reset button while powering the router
- press CTRL-C or wait for the timeout to get to the U-Boot prompt
- prepare a TFTP server on the network to supply ..-initramfs-kernel.bin
- use 'tftpboot' in the U-Boot shell to pull the image
- boot the image using 'bootm'
- push the ..-sysupgrade to the router using your preferred method
- perform the upgrade with 'sysupgrade -n'
There is a recovery mechanism that involves fetching a file called 'recovery.bin' but that is not understood yet.

(cherry picked from commit 20e4a18feb)
Specification:
- MT7981 CPU using 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi (both AX)
- MT7531 switch
- 512MB RAM
- 128MB NAND flash with two UBI partitions with identical size
- 1 multi color LED (red, green, blue, white) connected via GCA230718
- 3 buttons (WPS, reset, LED on/off)
- 1 1Gbit WAN port
- 4 1Gbit LAN ports
Disassembly:
- There are four screws at the bottom: 2 under the rubber feets, 2 under the label.
- After removing the screws, the white plastic part can be shifted out of the blue part.
- Be careful because the antennas are mounted on the side and the top of the white part.
Serial Interface
- The serial interface can be connected to the 4 pin holes on the side of the board.
- Pins (from front to rear):
- 3.3V
- RX
- TX
- GND
- Settings: 115200, 8N1
MAC addresses:
- WAN MAC is stored in partition "Odm" at offset 0x81
- LAN (as printed on the device) is WAN MAC + 1
- WLAN MAC (2.4 GHz) is WAN MAC + 2
- WLAN MAC (5GHz) is WAN MAC + 3
Flashing via Recovery Web Interface:
- The recovery web interface always flashes to the currently active partition.
- If OpenWrt is flahsed to the second partition, it will not boot.
- Ensure that you have an OEM image available (encrypted and decrypted version). Decryption is described in the end.
- Set your IP address to 192.168.200.10, subnetmask 255.255.255.0
- Press the reset button while powering on the device
- Keep the reset button pressed until the LED blinks red
- Open a Chromium based and goto http://192.168.200.1 (recovery web interface)
- Download openwrt-mediatek-filogic-dlink_aquila-pro-ai-m30-a1-squashfs-recovery.bin
- The recovery web interface always reports successful flashing, even if it fails
- After flashing, the recovery web interface will try to forward the browser to 192.168.0.1 (can be ignored)
- If OpenWrt was flashed to the first partition, OpenWrt will boot (The status LED will start blinking white and stay white in the end). In this case you're done and can use OpenWrt.
- If OpenWrt was flashed to the second partition, OpenWrt won't boot (The status LED will stay red forever). In this case, the following steps are reuqired:
- Start the web recovery interface again and flash the **decrypted OEM image**. This will be flashed to the second partition as well. The OEM firmware web interface is afterwards accessible via http://192.168.200.1.
- Now flash the **encrypted OEM image** via OEM firmware web interface. In this case, the new firmware is flashed to the first partition. After flashing and the following reboot, the OEM firmware web interface should still be accessible via http://192.168.200.1.
- Start the web recovery interface again and flash the OpenWrt recovery image. Now it will be flashed to the first partition, OpenWrt will boot correctly afterwards and is accessible via 192.168.1.1.
Flashing via U-Boot:
- Open the case, connect to the UART console
- Set your IP address to 192.168.200.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Connect to one of the LAN interfaces of the router
- Run a tftp server which provides openwrt-mediatek-filogic-dlink_aquila-pro-ai-m30-a1-initramfs-kernel.bin.
- Power on the device and select "7. Load image" in the U-Boot menu
- Enter image file, tftp server IP and device IP (if they differ from the default).
- TFTP download to RAM will start. After a few seconds OpenWrt initramfs should start
- The initramfs is accessible via 192.168.1.1, change your IP address accordingly (or use multiple IP addresses on your interface)
- Perform a sysupgrade using openwrt-mediatek-filogic-dlink_aquila-pro-ai-m30-a1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
- Reboot the device. OpenWrt should start from flash now
Revert back to stock using the Recovery Web Interface:
- Set your IP address to 192.168.200.2, subnetmask 255.255.255.0
- Press the reset button while powering on the device
- Keep the reset button pressed until the LED blinks red
- Open a Chromium based and goto http://192.168.200.1 (recovery web interface)
- Flash a decrypted firmware image from D-Link. Decrypting an firmware image is described below.
Decrypting a D-Link firmware image:
- Download https://github.com/RolandoMagico/firmware-utils/blob/M32/src/m32-firmware-util.c
- Compile a binary from the downloaded file, e.g. gcc m32-firmware-util.c -lcrypto -o m32-firmware-util
- Run ./m32-firmware-util M30 --DecryptFactoryImage <OriginalFirmware> <OutputFile>
- Example for firmware M30A1_FW101B05: ./m32-firmware-util M30 --DecryptFactoryImage M30A1_FW101B05\(0725091522\).bin M30A1_FW101B05\(0725091522\)_decrypted.bin
Flashing via OEM web interface is not possible, as it will change the active partition and OpenWrt is only running on the first UBI partition.
Controlling the LEDs:
- The LEDs are controlled by a chip called "GCA230718" which is connected to the main CPU via I2C (address 0x40)
- I didn't find any documentation or driver for it, so the information below is purely based on my investigations
- If there is already I driver for it, please tell me. Maybe I didn't search enough
- I implemented a kernel module (leds-gca230718) to access the LEDs via DTS
- The LED controller supports PWM for brightness control and ramp control for smooth blinking. This is not implemented in the driver
- The LED controller supports toggling (on -> off -> on -> off) where the brightness of the LEDs can be set individually for each on cycle
- Until now, only simple active/inactive control is implemented (like when the LEDs would have been connected via GPIO)
- Controlling the LEDs requires three sequences sent to the chip. Each sequence consists of
- A reset command (0x81 0xE4) written to register 0x00
- A control command (for example 0x0C 0x02 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xFF 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xFF 0x87 written to register 0x03)
- The reset command is always the same
- In the control command
- byte 0 is always the same
- byte 1 (0x02 in the example above) must be changed in every sequence: 0x02 -> 0x01 -> 0x03)
- byte 2 is set to 0x01 which disables toggling. 0x02 would be LED toggling without ramp control, 0x03 would be toggling with ramp control
- byte 3 to 6 define the brightness values for the LEDs (R,G,B,W) for the first on cycle when toggling
- byte 7 defines the toggling frequency (if toggling enabled)
- byte 8 to 11 define the brightness values for the LEDs (R,G,B,W) for the second on cycle when toggling
- byte 12 is constant 0x87
Comparison to M32/R32:
- The algorithms for decrypting the OEM firmware are the same for M30/M32/R32, only the keys differ
- The keys are available in the GPL sources for the M32
- The M32/R32 contained raw data in the firmware images (kernel, rootfs), the R30 uses a sysupgrade tar instead
- Creation of the recovery image is quite similar, only the header start string changes. So mostly takeover from M32/R32 for that.
- Turned out that the bytes at offset 0x0E and 0x0F in the recovery image header are the checksum over the data area
- This checksum was not checked in the recovery web interface of M32/R32 devices, but is now active in R30
- I adapted the recovery image creation to also calculate the checksum over the data area
- The recovery image header for M30 contains addresses which don't match the memory layout in the DTS. The same addresses are also present in the OEM images
- The recovery web interface either calculates the correct addresses from it or has it's own logic to determine where which information must be written

It can be used if no backup of the Kernel1 partition is reuqired.
Flahsing via OEM web interface is currently not possible, the OEM images are encrypted. Creating images is only possible manually at the moment.
The support for the M32/R32 already includes support for flashing from the OEM web interface:
- The device tree contains both partitions (Kernel1 and Kernel2) with conditions to select the correct one based on the kernel command line
- The U-Boot variable "boot_part" is set accordingly during startup to finish the partition swap after flashing from the OEM web interface
- OpenWrt sysupgrade flashing always uses the partition where it was initially flashed to (no partition swap)

Installation:
The installation must be done via TFTP by disassembling the router. On other occasions Cudy has distributed intermediate firmware to make installation easier, and so I recommend checking the Wiki for this device if there is a more convenient solution than the one below.
To install using TFTP:
1. Connect to UART.
2. With the router off, press the RESET button. While the router is turning on, the button should continue to be pressed for at least 5 seconds.
3. A u-boot shell will automatically open.
4. Connect to LAN and set your IP to 192.168.1.88/24. Configure a TFTP server and an OpenWrt initramfs-kernel.bin firmware file.
5. Run these steps in u-boot using the name of your file.
setenv bootfile initramfs-kernel.bin
tftpboot
bootm
6. If you can reach LuCI or SSH now, just use the sysupgrade image with the 'Keep settings' option turned off.

Features and fixes from hitech95 tree has been squashed, I'm attaching his commit message:
The Power LED was not working correctly and not reacting
to the boot process and statuses.
The board has space (footprint) for an unpopulated Zigbee chip,
while we dont know the device model having this chip populated
we have to assure that the common dts doesnt enable
interfaces that share pins with such device.
In this instance the PCIe and the uart1 and uart2 are disabled.
Some of the control PCIE pins seems to be used for the Zigbee chip,
UART1 seems to be used as a flash port while UART2 should be the
main comunication interface of Zigbee chip.
The Zigbee chip should be a EFR32MG21. But the pins used for UART
seems to be not on standard PINS used by other adapters.
So it cannot run firmwares shared on the web.
But it should be possible to build a custom firmware with
the corrtect pinmux.
This commit also contains the following squashed commit from hitech95
- mediatek: fix sysupgrade for Zyxel EX7601-T0 ubootmod
Changes and fixes added in common board:
- added aliases for boot status leds.
- added aliases for the mac-label-device.
- added pin claims for core features (MDIO and UART 0)
- added default LEDs configuration (01_leds)
- added default network configuration (02_network)
- added missing kmod-usb3 module for USB3
- fixed LED names
- fixed reset pin for SLIC chip
- removed unused pinmux configurations and devices
- fix LAN (switch) port numbering

("mediatek: GL-MT6000: Add missing LED state definitions")
As the only LED is using white in the stock firmware when the device is
running and blue for the bootloader I suggest following changes:
- Using blue for the BL and preinit+failsafe
- White for normal operation (like the original FW) and sysupgrade
With this changes it's clear by looking to the LED in which operation
mode the device is and a possible BL stuck can be seen easily.

Hardware specification:
SoC: MediaTek MT7981B 2x A53
Flash: Winbond 128MB
RAM: DDR3 256MB
Ethernet: 4x 10/100/1000 Mbps
Switch: MediaTek MT7531AE
WiFi: MediaTek MT7976C
Button: Reset
Power: DC 12V 1A
Flash instructions:
1. Connect to your PC via the Gigabit port of the router,
set a static ip on the ethernet interface of your PC.
(ip 192.168.1.254, gateway 192.168.1.1)
2. Attach UART, pause at u-boot menu.
3. Select "Upgrade ATF BL2", then use preloader.bin
4. Select "Upgrade ATF FIP", then use bl31-uboot.fip
5. Download the initramfs image, and type "reset",
waiting for tftp recovery to complete.
6. After openwrt boots up, perform sysupgrade.
Note:
1. Since NMBM is disabled, we must back up all partitions.
2. Although we can upgrade new firmware in the stock firmware,
we need the special fit image signature of MediaTek and
dual boot (hack kernel) to make u-boot boot it. So just
abandon these hacks and flash it via the serial port.

Telenor quirks
--------------
The operator specific firmware running on the Telenor branded
ZyXEL EX5700 includes U-Boot modifications affecting the OpenWrt
installation.
Notable changes to U-Boot include
- environment is stored in RAM and reset to defaults when power
cycled
- dual partition scheme with "nomimal" or "rescue" systems, falling
back to "rescue" unless the OS signals success in 3 attempts
- several runtime additions to the device-tree
Some of these modifications have side effects requiring workarounds
- U-Boot modifies /chosen/bootargs in an unsafe manner, and will crash
unless this node exists
- U-Boot verifies that the selected rootfs UBI volume exists, and
refuses to boot if it doesn't. The chosen "rootfs" volume must contain
a squashfs signature even for tftp or initramfs booting.
- U-Boot parses the "factoryparams" UBI volume, setting the "ethaddr"
variable to the label mac. But "factoryparams" does not always
exist. Instead there is a "RIP" volume containing all the factory
data. Copying the "RIP" volume to "factoryparams" will fix this

Aquantia AQR112 2500M/1000M/100M/10M PHY used in both v1 and v2. Add
build for this variant so we can support Ethernet with the PHY.
