The USB port on the device is (in contrast to other Aruba boards) real
USB. The AP uses a CP2101 USB TTY converter on the board.
Console baudrate is 9600 8n1.
To enable a full list of commands in the U-Boot "help" command, execute
the literal "diag" command.
Installation
------------
1. Get the OpenWrt initramfs image. Rename it to ipq40xx.ari and put it
into the TFTP server root directory. Configure the TFTP server to
be reachable at 192.168.1.75/24. Connect the machine running the TFTP
server to the ethernet port of the access point.
2. Connect to the serial console. Interrupt autobooting by pressing
Enter when prompted.
3. Configure the bootargs and bootcmd for OpenWrt.
$ setenv bootargs_openwrt "setenv bootargs console=ttyMSM1,9600n8"
$ setenv nandboot_openwrt "run bootargs_openwrt; ubi part aos1;
ubi read 0x85000000 kernel; bootm 0x85000000"
$ setenv ramboot_openwrt "run bootargs_openwrt;
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.105; setenv serverip 192.168.1.75;
netget; set fdt_high 0x87000000; bootm"
$ setenv bootcmd "run nandboot_openwrt"
$ saveenv
4. Load OpenWrt into RAM:
$ run ramboot_openwrt
5. After OpenWrt booted, transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the
/tmp folder on the device.
6. Flash OpenWrt:
Make sure you use the mtd partition with the label "ubi" here!
$ ubidetach -p /dev/mtd1
$ ubiformat /dev/mtd1
$ sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-sysupgrade.bin
To go back to the stock firmware, simply reset the bootcmd in the
bootloader to the original value:
$ setenv bootcmd "boot"
$ saveenv

Certain SFP modules (most notably Nokia GPON ones) first check
connectivity on 1000base-x, and switch to 2500base-x afterwards. This
is considered a quirk so the phylink switches the interface to
2500base-x as well.
However, after power-cycling the uDPU device, network interface/SFP module
will not work correctly until the module is re-seated. This patch
resolves this issue by forcing the interface to be brought up in
2500base-x mode by default.

As evidenced here[1] the device MAC address can be stored at a random
offset in the hard_config partition. Rely on sysfs to update the MAC
address correctly.
Adjust config so that WAN is base MAC and LAN is base MAC +1 to better
match label and vendor OS.

This commit takes advantages of base-files 220 which introduces routines
to perform caldata loading directly via the kernel sysfs loader helper.
This has the benefits of not wasting flash space to store caldata.
Memory footprint is reduced to the bare minimum: for devices that don't
need MAC patching, the caldata is loaded directly, for devices that do
need MAC patching, the caldata is extracted to /tmp, patched and then
loaded.

As evidenced here[1] the device MAC address can be stored at a random
offset in the hard_config partition. Rely on sysfs to update the MAC
address correctly.
To match sticker and vendor OS behavior, WAN MAC is set to the device
base MAC and LAN MAC is incremented from that.
Note: this will trigger a harmless kernel message during boot:
ag71xx 19000000.eth: invalid MAC address, using random address
There is no clean workaround to prevent this message from being emitted.

Some newer MikroTik RouterBOARD devices use a new encoding scheme
for their WLAN calibration data. This patch provides support for
decoding this new scheme.
Signed-off-by: Thibaut VARÈNE <hacks@slashdirt.org>
This driver exposes the data encoded in the "hard_config" flash segment
of MikroTik RouterBOARDs devices. It presents the data in a sysfs folder
named "hard_config". The WLAN calibration data is available on demand via
the 'wlan_data' sysfs file in that folder.
This driver permanently allocates a chunk of RAM as large as the
"hard_config" MTD partition (typically 4KB), although it is technically
possible to operate entirely from the MTD device without using a local
buffer (except when requesting WLAN calibration data), at the cost of a
performance penalty.
This driver does not reuse any of the existing code previously found in
routerboot.c.
This driver has been successfully tested on BE (ath79) and LE (ipq40xx
and ramips) hardware.

This driver provides an OF MTD parser to properly assign the RouterBoot
partitions on the flash. This parser builds from the "fixed-partitions"
one (see ofpart.c), but it can handle dynamic partitions as found on
routerboot devices.
The parent node must contain the following:
compatible = "mikrotik,routerboot-partitions";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
Children routerbootpart DTS nodes are defined as follows:
For fixed partitions
node-name@unit-address {
reg = <prop-encoded-array>;
label = <string>;
read-only;
lock;
};
All properties but reg are optional.
For dynamic partitions:
node-name {
size = <prop-encoded-array>;
label = <string>;
read-only;
lock;
};
size property is mandatory unless the next partition is a fixed one or
a "well-known" one (matched from the strings defined below) in which case
it can be omitted or set to 0; other properties are optional.
By default dynamic partitions are appended after the preceding one, except
for "well-known" ones which are automatically located on flash.
Well-known partitions (matched via label or node-name):
- "hard_config"
- "soft_config"
- "dtb_config"
This parser requires the DTS to list partitions in ascending order as
expected on the MTD device.
This parser has been successfully tested on BE (ath79) and LE (ipq40xx
and ramips) hardware.

Samba 3.6 is completely unsupported, in addition to having tons of patches
It also causes kernel panics on some platforms when sendfile is enabled.

Samba 4 is an alternative available in the packages repo.
cifsd is a lightweight alternative available in the packages repo. It is
