Specification:
- MT7629 CPU
- MT7531 switch
- MT7761N and MT7762N wifi
- 256 MB RAM
- 128 MB NAND flash with dual-boot partitions
- 2 buttons: WPS and reset
- 1 WAN port (1G)
- 4 LAN ports (1G)
- 1 USB port
Limitations (same as other MT7629/MT7761N/MT7762N devices):
- Wifi is not working
- Second core is not working (kernel error message "CPU1: failed to come online")
Disassembly:
- There are two screws under the front rubber feet and two under the label on the bottom (in the corners towards the back, you should be able to feel them).
Serial Interface:
- UART pin header is already soldered on the board. Pinning from front to back:
1 - VCC
2 - TX
3 - RX
4 - n/a
5 - GND
GPIO:
- 1 white LED, connected to GPIO 52
- 1 reset button, connected to GPIO 60
- 1 WPS button, connected to GPIO 58
MAC Adresses:
- The MAC address printed on the device label is used for LAN and WAN
- The MAC address is stored in the devinfo partition in ASCII format (hw_mac_addr=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee)
- 2.4 GHz wifi uses MAC of the device label + 1
- 5 GHz wifi uses MAC of the device label + 2
Flashing:
- OpenWrt is only runnig in the first partition of dual boot
- To ensure to be able to go back to the factory image, flash the last OEM firmware via OEM web interface. This will ensure that the OEM firmware is present on both partitions
- Because of dual boot partitions, flashing via OEM interface is not supported
- Start a TFTP server and provide the initramfs image. Default settings:
- Router IP: 192.168.1.1
- TFTP server IP: 192.168.1.100
- TFTP file name: 7531.bin
- Open the device, connect UART and select " 1. System Load Linux to SDRAM via TFTP." during startup
- Adapt the settings to your environment, if required
- After initramfs is booted, flash the sysupgrade image
Return to OEM firmware:
- Run the following commands in OpenWrt to switch to the second partition
fw_setenv boot_part 2
fw_setenv bootimage 2
- Reboot the device. OEM firmware will start up again

Initially APK would sign packages and package index and verify
signatures individually. With the latest change, all packages inside a
trusted index are automatically trusted.
This is important within the OpenWrt eco-system since signing the index
happens on another machine than the package creation.

Currently, the apk utility lacks accessible help documentation, making
it cumbersome for human users:
apk-tools 3.0.0_pre20240519, compiled for x86_64.
ERROR: This apk-tools has been built without help
This absence of help forces users to delve into the apk's build
directory to understand its functionality. To enhance usability, we will
enable the help feature for the host build. The host environment can
accommodate the 3% increase in binary size for the added convenience.
On Ubuntu 22.04, x86_64 platform, the apk size increases by 17,816 bytes
(from 594,144 to 611,960 bytes), a 2.99% increase. This is a reasonable
trade-off for improved ergonomics.
Additionally fix the Lua host build dependency as apk-tools uses during
the build Lua to convert SCDOC manpages to apk-tools help messages.

We simply grep for "src/". So no need for "\/".
Furthermore, since grep-3.8 this creates warnings.
As written in the grep-3.8 announcement:
Regular expressions with stray backslashes now cause warnings, as
their unspecified behavior can lead to unexpected results.
For example, '\a' and 'a' are not always equivalent
<https://bugs.gnu.org/39678>.
Fixes a warning during the first boot:

mDNS broadcast can't accept empty TXT record and would fail
registration.
Current procd_add_mdns_service checks only if the first passed arg is
empty but don't make any verification on the other args permittins
insertion of empty values in TXT record.
Example:
procd_add_mdns "blah" \
"tcp" "50" \
"1" \
"" \
"3"
Produce:
{ "blah_50": { "service": "_blah._tcp.local", "port": 50, "txt": [ "1", "", "3" ] } }
The middle empty TXT record should never be included as it's empty.
This can happen with scripts that make fragile parsing and include
variables even if they are empty.
Prevent this and make the TXT record more solid by checking every
provided TXT record and include only the non-empty ones.
The fixed JSON is the following:
{ "blah_50": { "service": "_blah._tcp.local", "port": 50, "txt": [ "1", "3" ] } }

APK (Alpine Package Keeper) is the package manager of Alpine Linux and
has multiple advantages over OPKG. While Alpine uses APK version 2, this
commit adds version 3 with a heavily optimised database structure and
additional feature making it suitable for OpenWrt.
This commit will be followed by many more to add APK build capabilities
to the OpenWrt build system, firstly enabling side by side builds of APK
and OPKG packages, later replacing OPKG entirely.

Different from OPKG, APK uses a deterministic version schema which chips
the version into chunks and compares them individually. This enforces a
certain schema which was previously entirely flexible.
- Releases are added at the very and end prefixed with an `r` like
`1.2.3-r3`.
- Hashes are prefixed with a `~` like `1.2.3~abc123`.
- Dates become semantic versions, like `2024.04.01`
- Extra tags are possible like `_git`, `_alpha` and more.

* RGB system led
* Buttons: 1x Soft reset 1x WPS
* Power: 12V DC Jack
Installation instructions:
Open Linksys Web UI - http://192.168.1.1/ca or http://10.65.1.1/ca depending on your setup.
Login with your admin password. The default password can be found on a sticker under the device.
To enter into the support mode, click on the “CA” link and the bottom of the page.
Open the “Connectivity” menu and upload the squash-factory image with the “Choose file” button.
Click start. Ignore all the prompts and warnings by click “yes” in all the popups.
The Wifi radios are turned off by default. To configure the router, you will need to connect your computer to the LAN port of the device.
Then you would need to write openwrt to the other partition for it to work
- First Check booted partition
fw_printenv -n boot_part
- Then install Openwrt to the other partition if booted in slot 1:
mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx4200v(X)-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel
- If in slot 2:
mtd -r -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx4200v(X)-squashfs-factory.bin kernel
Replace (X) with your model version either 1 or 2
