with 6.1, the kernel no longer fitted into the 16 MiB and
kicking down the can and increasing KERNEL_SIZE to 20 MiB
didn't help as the device failed to boot.
Using 'kernel-bin | gzip | uimage gzip' didn't work since the
uboot does not have enough heap to decompress these big kernels.
And finally playing around with uboot was more a hassle than
converting this device to take the simpleImage-boot-route in
the future.
Note: The device now takes even longer on the first boot-up after
the flash due to JFFS2 initializing all the remaining flash.
Be prepared to wait up to 10 minutes before the green status LED
stops blinking and will shine a solid green!
(On the plus site: the device now has ~10 MiB of additional
space for rootfs+rootfs_data).
Note2: This patch includes a kernel patch refresh.

The system-mamory size was page-aligned prior to this commit, only
enabling to use 192MB of system memory of the 256 available.
This was due to the system-memory being manually shrinked to reserve the
upper 1MB for the second-core bootpage in the loader as well as the OS.
Fix this properly in the loader and in Linux using reserved-memory
definitions. This enables the device to use 250MB of system memory.

The following adds the Aerohive BR200-WP router to OpenWrt under
the mpc85xx/p1010 subtarget.
Hardware:
- SoC: Freescale P1011
- NOR: Intel JS28F512M29EWH 64MB
- Memory: 2x Nanya NT5TU64M16GG-AC 128MB (Total of 256MB)
- 2.4GHz WiFi: Atheros AR9390-AL1A
- Eth1: Atheros AR8035-A PoE
- 2x LEDs
- 1x Button
- PoE PSE
Flashing:
1. Hook into UART (9600 baud) and enter U-Boot. You may need to enter a
password of administrator or AhNf?d@ta06 if prompted.
2. Once in U-Boot, tftp boot the initramfs image:
dhcp; setenv serverip 192.168.1.3;
tftpboot 0x2004000 openwrt-mpc85xx-p1010-aerohive_br200-wp-initramfs-kernel.bin;
bootm 0x2004000;
3. Once booted, scp over the sysupgrade file and sysupgrade the device
to flash LEDE to the NOR.

Installation
------------
1. Grab the OpenWrt initramfs, rename it to ap3715.bin. Place it in
the root directory of a TFTP server and serve it at
192.168.1.66/24.
2. Connect to the serial port and boot the AP. Stop autoboot in U-Boot
by pressing Enter when prompted. Credentials are identical to the one
in the APs interface. By default it is admin / new2day.
3. Alter the bootcmd in U-Boot:
$ setenv ramboot_openwrt "setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1;
setenv serverip 192.168.1.66; tftpboot 0x2000000 ap3715.bin; bootm"
$ setenv boot_openwrt "sf probe 0; sf read 0x2000000 0x140000 0x1000000;
bootm 0x2000000"
$ setenv bootcmd "run boot_openwrt"
$ saveenv
4. Boot the initramfs image
$ run ramboot_openwrt
5. Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the AP using SCP. Install
using sysupgrade.
$ sysupgrade -n <path-to-sysupgrade.bin>

The boot-procedure for the Extreme WS-AP3825I is vfragile to put it
mildly. It does not relocate the FDT properly. It currently exercises
every step manually as well as coming with a pre-padded dtb.
Use the PowerPC bootwrapper code for legacy platforms with a pre-filles
DTS instead. We still need to ship a fit image to not break the fdt
resize / relocate instructions on existing boards. This does not require
adapting the U-Boot bootcommand.

SERIAL: Cisco RJ-45 (115200 8N1)

Installation
------------
1. Patch U-Boot by dumping the content of the SPI-Flash using a SPI
programmer. The SHA1 hash for the U-Boot password is currently
unknown.
A tool for patching U-Boot is available at
https://github.com/blocktrron/t10-uboot-patcher/
You can also patch the unknown password yourself. The SHA1 hash is
E597301A1D89FF3F6D318DBF4DBA0A5ABC5ECBEA
2. Interrupt the bootmenu by pressing CTRL+C. A password prompt appears.
The patched password is '1234' (without quotation marks)
3. Download the OpenWrt initramfs image. Copy it to a TFTP server
reachable at 10.0.1.13/24 and rename it to uImage.
4. Connect the TFTP server to ethernet port 0 of the Watchguard T10.
5. Download and boot the initramfs image by entering "tftpboot; bootm;"
in U-Boot.
6. After OpenWrt booted, create a UBI volume on the old data partition.
The "ubi" mtd partition should be mtd7, check this using
$ cat /proc/mtd
Create a UBI partition by executing
$ ubiformat /dev/mtd7 -y
7. Increase the loadable kernel-size of U-Boot by executing
$ fw_setenv SysAKernSize 800000
8. Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the Watchguard T10 using
scp. Install the image by using sysupgrade:
$ sysupgrade -n <path-to-sysupgrade>
Note: The LAN ports of the T10 are 1 & 2 while 0 is WAN. You might
have to change the ethernet-port.
9. OpenWrt should now boot from the internal NAND. Enjoy.
