TP-Link Archer C20 v5 is a router with 5-port FE switch and
non-detachable antennas. It's based on MediaTek MT7628N+MT7610EN.
Specification:
- MediaTek MT7628N/N (580 Mhz)
- 64 MB of RAM
- 8 MB of FLASH
- 2T2R 2.4 GHz and 1T1R 5 GHz
- 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 3x external, non-detachable antennas
- UART (J1) header on PCB (115200 8n1)
- 7x LED (GPIO-controlled*), 2x button, power input switch
* WAN LED in this devices is a dual-color, dual-leads type which isn't
(fully) supported by gpio-leds driver. This type of LED requires both
GPIOs state change at the same time to select color or turn it off.
For now, we support/use only the green part of the LED.
Create Factory image
--------------------
As all installation methods require a U-Boot to be integrated into the
Image (and we do not ship one with the image) we are not able to create
an image in the OpenWRT build-process.
Download a TP-Link image from their Website and a OpenWRT sysupgrade
image for the device and build yourself a factory image like following:
TP-Link image: tpl.bin
OpenWRT sysupgrade image: owrt.bin
> dd if=tpl.bin of=boot.bin bs=131584 count=1
> cat owrt.bin >> boot.bin
Installing via Web-UI
---------------------
Upload the boot.bin via TP-Links firmware upgrade tool in the
web-interface.
Installing via Recovery
-----------------------
Activate Web-Recovery by beginning the upgrade Process with a
Firmware-Image from TP-Link. After starting the Firmware Upgrade,
wait ~3 seconds (When update status is switching to 0%), then
disconnect the power supply from the device. Upgrade flag (which
activates Web-Recovery) is written before the OS-image is touched and
removed after write is succesfull, so this procedure should be safe.
Plug the power back in. It will come up in Recovery-Mode on 192.168.0.1.
When active, all LEDs but the WPS LED are off.
Remeber to assign yourself a static IP-address as DHCP is not active in
this mode.
The boot.bin can now be uploaded and flashed using the web-recovery.
Installing via TFTP
-------------------
Prepare an image like following (Filenames from factory image steps
apply here)
> dd if=/dev/zero of=tp_recovery.bin bs=196608 count=1
> dd if=tpl.bin of=tmp.bin bs=131584 count=1
> dd if=tmp.bin of=boot.bin bs=512 skip=1
> cat boot.bin >> tp_recovery.bin
> cat owrt.bin >> tp_recovery.bin
Place tp_recovery.bin in root directory of TFTP server and listen on
192.168.0.66/24.
Connect router LAN ports with your computer and power up the router
while pressing the reset button. The router will download the image via
tftp and after ~1 Minute reboot into OpenWRT.
U-Boot CLI
----------
U-Boot CLI can be activated by holding down '4' on bootup.
Dual U-Boot
-----------
This is TP-Link MediaTek device with a split-uboot feature design like
a TP-Link Archer C50 v4. The first (factory-uboot) provides recovery via
TFTP and HTTP, jumping straight into the second (firmware-uboot) if no
recovery needs to be performed. The firmware-uboot unpacks and executed
the kernel.
Web-Recovery
------------
TP-Link integrated a new Web-Recovery like the one on the Archer C7v4 /
TL-WR1043v5 / Archer C50v4. Stock-firmware sets a flag in the "romfile"
partition before beginning to write and removes it afterwards. If the
router boots with this flag set, bootloader will automatically start
Web-recovery and listens on 192.168.0.1. This way, the vendor-firmware
or an OpenWRT factory image can be written.
By doing the same while performing sysupgrade, we can take advantage of
the Web-recovery in OpenWRT.
It is important to note that Web-Recovery is only based on this flag. It
can't detect e.g. a crashing kernel or other means. Once activated it
won't boot the OS before a recovery action (either via TFTP or HTTP) is
performed. This recovery-mode is indicated by an illuminated WPS-LED on
boot.

[adjust some node names for LEDs in DTS]

This harmonizes the line wrapping in image Makefile device
definitions, as those are frequently copy-pasted and are a common
subject of review comments. Having the treatment unifying should
reduce the cases where adjustment is necessary afterwards.
Harmonization is achieved by consistently (read "strictly")
applying certain rules:
- Never put more than 80 characters into one line
- Fill lines up (do not break after 40 chars because of ...)
- Use one tab for indent after wrapping by "\"
- Only break after pipe "|" for IMAGE variables

There are frequent examples of the ralink_default_fw_size_xxx
variables being used to "roughly" set flash size without caring
about the actual size of the firmware partition.
To discourage this behavior, this patch removes the variables and
just sets IMAGE_SIZE by its numeric value for each target.
Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler <freifunk@adrianschmutzler.de>
Currently, ramips target defines 0x7b0000 as default IMAGE_SIZE
for all devices in ramips target, i.e. this will be set if a
device does not specify IMAGE_SIZE itself.
From 92 devices using that default due to a "missing" IMAGE_SIZE,
14 were incorrect by a small amount (i.e. still "8M" flash) and
12 were completely off ("16M", "4M", ...).
This patch thus removes the _default_ IMAGE_SIZE and defines
IMAGE_SIZE for each device individually. This should indicate to
people supporting new devices that this parameter has to be cared
about.
For the present code, this patch is cosmetical.
Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler <freifunk@adrianschmutzler.de>
In ramips, there are the following predefined values for IMAGE_SIZE
ralink_default_fw_size_4M 3866624 3776k 0x3B0000
ralink_default_fw_size_8M 8060928 7872k 0x7B0000
ralink_default_fw_size_16M 16121856 15744k 0xF60000
ralink_default_fw_size_32M 33226752 32448k 0x1FB0000
Out of those, the "16M" value is obviously odd, as it provides more
room for the remaining partitions than the tree others.
Of the devices in all subtargets, there are actually > 50 that have
a firmware partition with 0xFB0000 size, while only 5 (!) have
0xF60000. From the former, many are set to
ralink_default_fw_size_16M anyway, although it is wrong at the
present point.
Consequently, it makes sense to change ralink_default_fw_size_16M
to 0xFB0000, and to update IMAGE_SIZE for the 5 devices with
0xF60000.

If in the future these firmwares will not be available anymore,
you have to find the new XOR key.
1) Download the original FW from the Cudy website.
(For example WR1000_EU_92.122.2.4987.201806261618.bin)
2) Remove the header.

You can use OpenWrt's tools/firmware-utils/src/xorimage.c tool for this:
xorimage -i WR1000..bin.mod -o stock-firmware.bin -x -p 7B767..
Or, you can use this tool (CHANGE THE XOR KEY ACCORDINGLY!):
https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/#recipe=XOR(%7B'option':'Hex','string':''%7D,'',false)
4) Check the resulting decrypted image.
Check if bytes from 0x20 to 0x3f are:
4C 69 6E 75 78 20 4B 65 72 6E 65 6C 20 49 6D 61 67 65 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Alternatively, you can use u-boot's tool dumpimage tool to check
if the decryption was successful. It should look like:

5) Flash it via forced firmware upgrade and don't "Keep Settings"
CLI: sysupgrade -F -n stock-firmware.bin
LuCI: make sure to click on the "Keep settings" checkbox
to disable it. You'll need to do this !TWICE! because
on the first try, LuCI will refuse the image and reset

> dd if=/dev/zero of=tp_recovery.bin bs=196608 count=1
> dd if=tpl.bin of=tmp.bin bs=131584 count=1
> dd if=tmp.bin of=boot.bin bs=512 skip=1
> cat boot.bin >> tp_recovery.bin
> cat owrt.bin >> tp_recovery.bin
Place tp_recovery.bin in root directory of TFTP server and listen on
192.168.0.66/24.
Connect router LAN ports with your computer and power up the router
while pressing the reset button. The router will download the image via
tftp and after ~1 Minute reboot into OpenWRT.
U-Boot CLI
----------
U-Boot CLI can be activated by holding down '4' on bootup.
Dual U-Boot
-----------
This is the first TP-Link MediaTek device to feature a split-uboot
design. The first (factory-uboot) provides recovery via TFTP and HTTP,
jumping straight into the second (firmware-uboot) if no recovery needs
to be performed. The firmware-uboot unpacks and executed the kernel.
Web-Recovery
------------
TP-Link integrated a new Web-Recovery like the one on the Archer C7v4 /
TL-WR1043v5. Stock-firmware sets a flag in the "romfile" partition
before beginning to write and removes it afterwards. If the router boots
with this flag set, bootloader will automatically start Web-recovery and
listens on 192.168.0.1. This way, the vendor-firmware or an OpenWRT
factory image can be written.
By doing the same while performing sysupgrade, we can take advantage of
the Web-recovery in OpenWRT.
It is important to note that Web-Recovery is only based on this flag. It
can't detect e.g. a crashing kernel or other means. Once activated it
won't boot the OS before a recovery action (either via TFTP or HTTP) is
performed. This recovery-mode is indicated by an illuminated WPS-LED on
boot.

Move the zip compression into a build recipe. Pad the image using the
existing build recipes as well to remove duplicate functionality
Change the code to append header and footer in two steps. Allow to use a
fixed filename as the netgear update image does.
Use a fixed timestamp within the zip archive to make the images
reproducible.
Due to the changes we are now compatible to the gnu89 c standard used by
default on the buildbots and we don't need to force a more recent
standard anymore.
Beside all changes, the footer still looks wrong in compare to the
netgear update image.

The line that produces factory image was accidentally left by me while
testing before inital commit.
I came to the conclusion that flashing from OEM firmware does not work
(seems to share this behavior with other tplinks based on mt7628).
I have not done any further analysis, as I was unable to open the
case and attach a serial port (too much glue). Maybe i will try once
more.
So the way to do initial flashing (or un-bricking) is to use the
tftp-recover image. It is possible to revert to OEM firmware with tftp
recovery; in this case the first 512 bytes the image file need to be
cut off.

UniElec U7628-01 is a router platform board based on MediaTek MT7628AN.
The device has the following specifications:
- MT7628AN (580MHz)
- 64/128/256 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 8/16 MB of flash (SPI NOR)
- 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (MT7628 built-in switch)
- 1x 2T2R 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (MT7628)
- 1x miniPCIe slot (with PCIe and USB 2.0 buses)
- 1x miniSIM slot
- 1x microSD slot
- 1x USB 2.0 port
- 7x single-color LEDs (GPIO-controlled)
- 1x bi-color LED (green GPIO-controlled, red -> LED_WLAN# in miniPCIe)
- 1x reset button
- 1x UART header (4-pins)
- 1x SDXC/GPIO header (10-pins, connected with microSD slot)
- 1x DC jack for main power (12 V)
The following has been tested and is working:
- Ethernet switch
- miniPCIe slot (tested with modem and Wi-Fi card)
- miniSIM slot
- sysupgrade
- reset button
- USB 2.0 port*
Due to a missing driver (MMC over GPIO) this is not supported:
- microSD card reader
* Warning:
USB buses in miniPCIe and regular A-type socket are connected together,
without any proper analog switch or USB HUB.
Installation:
This board might come with a different firmware versions (MediaTek SDK,
PandoraBox, Padavan, etc.). If your board comes with PandoraBox, you can
install LEDE using sysupgrade. Just SSH to the router and perform forced
sysupgrade (due to a board name mismatch). The default IP of this board
should be: 192.168.1.1 and username/password: root/admin. In case of a
different firmware, you can use web based recovery described below.
Use the following command to perform the sysupgrade (for the 128MB
RAM/16MB flash version):
sysupgrade -n -F lede-ramips-mt76x8-u7628-01-128M-16M-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Recovery:
This board contains a Chinese, closed-source bootloader called Breed
(Boot and Recovery Environment for Embedded Devices). Breed supports web
recovery and to enter it, you keep the reset button pressed for around
5 seconds during boot. Your machine will be assigned an IP through DHCP
and the router will use IP address 192.168.1.1. The recovery website is
in Chinese, but is easy to use. Click on the second item in the list to
access the recovery page, then the second item on the next page is where
you select the firmware. In order to start the recovery, you click the
button at the bottom.
SDXC/GPIO header (J3):
1. SDXC_D3 / I2C_SCLK
2. SDXC_D2 / I2C_SD
3. SDXC_D1 / I2S_DI
4. SDXC_D0 / I2S_WS
5. SDXC_CMD / I2S_CLK
6. SDXC_CLK / GPIO0
7. SDXC_CD / UART_RXD1
8. UART_TXD1
9. 3V3
10. GND
Other notes:
1. The board is available with different amounts of RAM and flash. We
have only added support for the 128/16 MB configuration, as that seems
to be the default. However, all the required infrastructure is in place
for making support for the other configurations easy.

TP-Link TL-WR840N v5 is simple N300 router with 5-port FE switch and
non-detachable antennas, based on MediaTek MT7628NN (aka MT7628N) WiSoC.
Specification:
- MT7628N/N (580 MHz)
- 64 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 4 MB of FLASH
- 2T2R 2.4 GHz
- 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 2x external, non-detachable antennas
- UART (J1) header on PCB (115200 8n1)
- 1x LED (GPIO-controlled), 1x button
* LED in TL-WR840N v5 is a dual-color, dual-leads type which isn't
(fully) supported by gpio-leds driver. This type of LED requires both
GPIOs state change at the same time to select color or turn it off.
For now, we support/use only the green part of the LED.
Orange LED is registered so you can later use it for your own purposes.
Flash instruction:
Unlike TL-WR840N v4 flashing through WEB UI works in v5.
1. Download lede-ramips-mt76x8-tl-wr840n-v5-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin image.
2. Go to 192.168.0.1
3. Flash the sysupgrade image through Firmware upgrade section of WEB UI.
4. Wait until green LED stops flashing and use the router.
Notes:
TFTP recovery is broken since TP-Link reused bootloader code for v4 and
that does not take into account only 4 MB of flash and bricks the device.
So do not use TFTP Recovery or you will have to rewrite SPI flash.
They fixed it in later GPL code,but it is unknown which version of
bootloader you have.
After manually compiling and flashing bootloader from GPL sources TFTP
recovery works properly.

The tplink 841n v13 requires an tplink v2 image header in
front of an initramfs image.
To boot an initramfs image:
- break the uboot by holding the '4' key
- setup your tftp server 192.168.0.255
- tftp 81000000 lede-ramips-mt76x8-tl-wr841n-v13-initramfs-kernel.bin

This patch adds all the board-specific values currently hardcoded
in mktplinkfw2.c back to the respective device declarations in the
makefiles.
The rationale is to avoid modifying the source code every time a
new board or board variant is added.
