Netgear WAX218 is a 802.11ax AP claiming AX3600 support. It is wall
or ceiling mountable. It can be powered via PoE, or a 12 V adapter.
The board has footprints for 2.54mm UART headers. They're difficult to
solder because the GND is connected to a large copper plane. Only try
soldering if you are very skilled. Otherwise, use pogo pins.

Installation:
=============
Web UI method
-------------
Flashing OpenWRT using the vendor's Web UI is problematic on this
device. The u-boot mechanism for communicating the active rootfs is
antiquated and unreliable. Instead of setting the kernel commandline,
it relies on patching the DTS partitions of the nand node. The way
partitions are patched is incompatible with newer kernels.
Newer kernels use the SMEM partition table, which puts "rootfs" on
mtd12. The vendor's Web UI will flash to either mtd12 or mtd14. One
reliable way to boot from mtd14 and avoid boot loops is to use an
initramfs image.
1. In the factory web UI, navigate to System Manager -> Firmware.
2. In the "Local Firmware Upgrade" section, click Browse
3. Navigate and select the 'web-ui-factory.fit' image
4. Click "Upload"
5. On the following page, click on "Proceed"
The flash proceeds at this point and the system will reboot
automatically to OpenWRT.
6. Flash the 'nand-sysupgrade.bin' using Luci or the commandline
SSH method
----------
Enable SSH using the CLI or Web UI. The root account is locked out to
ssh, and the admin account defaults to Netgear's CLI application.
So we need to get creative:
First, make sure the device boots from the second firmware partition:
ssh -okexalgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 admin@<ipaddr> \
/usr/sbin/fw_setenv active_fw 1
Then reboot the device, and run the update:
scp -O -o kexalgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 \
-o hostkeyalgorithms=ssh-rsa \
netgear_wax218-squashfs-nand-factory.ubi \
admin@<ipaddr>:/tmp/openwrt.ubi
ssh -okexalgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 admin@<ipaddr> \
/usr/sbin/ubiformat /dev/mtd12 -f /tmp/openwrt.ubi
ssh -okexalgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 admin@<ipaddr> \
/usr/sbin/fw_setenv active_fw 0
Now reboot the device, and it should boot into a ready-to-use OpenWRT.

Hardware
--------
SoC: Qualcomm IPQ8065
RAM: 512 MB DDR3
Flash: 256 MB NAND (Macronix MX30UF2G18AC) (split into 2x128MB)
4 MB SPI-NOR (Macronix MX25U3235F)
WLAN: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9984 - 2.4Ghz
Qualcomm Atheros QCA9984 - 5Ghz

Serial: 115200bps, near the Ethernet transformers, labeled 9X.
Connections from the arrow to the 9X text:
[NC] - [TXD] - [GND] - [RXD] - [NC]
Installation
------------
0. Connect to the device
Plug your computer into LAN2 (1000Mbps connection required).
If you use the LAN1/POE port, set your computer to force a 100Mbps link.
Connect to the device via TTL (Serial) 115200n8.
Locate the header (or solder pads) labeled 9X,
near the Ethernet jacks/transformers.
There should be an arrow on the other side of the header marking.
The connections should go like this:
(from the arrow to the 9X text): NC - TXD - GND - RXD - NC
1. Prepare for installation
While the AP is powering up, interrupt the startup process.
MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR CURRENT PARTITION!
If you see: "Current Partition is : partB" or
"Need to switch partition from partA to partB",
you have to force the device into partA mode, before continuing.
This can be done by changing the PKRstCnt to 5 and resetting the device.
setenv PKRstCnt 5
saveenv
reset
After you interrupt the startup process again,
you should see: Need to switch partition from partB to partA
You can now continue to the next step.
If you see: "Current Partition is : partA",
you can continue to the next step.
2. Prevent partition switching.
To prevent the device from switching partitions,
we are going to modify the startup command.
set bootcmd "setenv PKRstCnt 0; saveenv; bootipq"
setenv
3. First boot
Now, we have to boot the OpenWrt intifs.
The easiest way to do this is by using Tiny PXE.
You can also use the normal U-Boot tftp method.
Run "bootp" this will get an IP from the DHCP server
and possibly the firmware image.
If it doesn't download the firmware image, run "tftpboot".
Now run "bootm" to run the image.
You might see:
"ERROR: new format image overwritten - must RESET the board to recover"
this means that the image you are trying to load is too big.
Use a smaller image for the initial boot.
4. Install OpenWrt from initfs
Once you are booted into OpenWrt,
transfer the OpenWrt upgrade image and
use sysupgrade to install OpenWrt to the device.

• 1x USB 3.0
• 1 gpio-controlled dual color led (blue/red)
• Buttons: 1x soft reset / 1x WPS
• Power: 12V DC jack
A poulated serial header is onboard (J1004)
the connector size is a 4-pin 2.0 mm JST PH.
RX/TX is working, u-boot bootwait is active, secure boot is enabled.
Notes:
- Serial is completely deactivated in the stock firmware image.
- This commit adds only single partition support, that means
sysupgrade is upgrading the current rootfs partition.
- Installation can be done by serial connection or
SSH access on OEM firmware
Installation Instructions:
Most part of the installation is performed from an initramfs image
running OpenWrt, and there are two options to boot it.
Boot initramfs option 1: Using serial connection (3.3V)
1. Stop auto boot to get to U-boot shell
2. Transfer initramfs image to device
(openwrt-ipq807x-generic-dynalink_dl-wrx36-initramfs-uImage.itb)
Tested using TFTP and a FAT-formatted USB flash drive.
3. Boot the initramfs image
# bootm
Boot initramfs option 2: From SSH access on OEM firmware
1. Copy the initramfs image to a FAT-formatted flash drive
(tested on single-partition drive) and connect it to device USB port.
2. Change boot command so it loads the initramfs image on next boot
Fallback to OEM firmware is provided.
# fw_setenv bootcmd 'usb start && fatload usb 0:1 0x44000000 openwrt-ipq807x-generic-dynalink_dl-wrx36-initramfs-uImage.itb && bootm 0x44000000; bootipq'
3. Reboot the device to boot the initramfs
# reboot
Install OpenWrt from initramfs image:
1. Use SCP (or other way) to transfer OpenWrt factory image
2. Connect to device using SSH (on a LAN port)
3. Check MTD partition table.
rootfs and rootfs_1 should be mtd18 and mtd20
depending on current OEM slot.
# cat /proc/mtd
4. Do a ubiformat to both rootfs partitions:
# ubiformat /dev/mtd18 -y -f /path_to/factory_image
# ubiformat /dev/mtd20 -y -f /path_to/factory_image
5. Set U-boot env variable: mtdids
# fw_setenv mtdids 'nand0=nand0'
6. Get offset of mtd18 to determine current OEM slot
- If current OEM slot is 1, offset is 16777216 (0x1000000)
- If current OEM slot is 2, offset is 127926272 (0x7a00000)
# cat /sys/class/mtd/mtd18/offset
7. Set U-boot env variable: mtdparts
If current OEM slot is 1, run:
# fw_setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=nand0:0x6100000@0x1000000(fs),0x6100000@0x7a00000(fs_1)'
If current OEM slot is 2, run:
# fw_setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=nand0:0x6100000@0x7a00000(fs),0x6100000@0x1000000(fs_1)'
8. Set U-boot env variable: bootcmd
# fw_setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs console=ttyMSM0,115200n8 ubi.mtd=rootfs rootfstype=squashfs rootwait; ubi part fs; ubi read 0x44000000 kernel; bootm 0x44000000#config@rt5010w-d350-rev0'
9. Reboot the device
# reboot

Installation instructions:
Obtaining SSH access is mandatory
https://openwrt.org/inbox/toh/xiaomi/ax9000#obtain_ssh_access
Installation is done by the ubiformat method, through SSH:
1. Open an SSH shell to the router
2. Copy the file openwrt-ipq807x-generic-xiaomi_ax9000-initramfs-factory.ubi to the /tmp directory
3. Check which rootfs partition is your router booted in (0 = rootfs | 1 = rootfs_1):
nvram get flag_boot_rootfs
4. Find the rootfs and rootfs_1 mtd indexes respectively:
cat /proc/mtd
Please confirm if mtd21 and mtd22 are the correct indexes from above!
5. Use the command ubiformat to flash the opposite mtd with UBI image:
If nvram get flag_boot_rootfs returned 0:
ubiformat /dev/mtd22 -y -f /tmp/openwrt-ipq807x-generic-xiaomi_ax9000-initramfs-factory.ubi && nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=1 && nvram set flag_last_success=1 && nvram commit
otherwise:
ubiformat /dev/mtd21 -y -f /tmp/openwrt-ipq807x-generic-xiaomi_ax9000-initramfs-factory.ubi && nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=0 && nvram set flag_last_success=0 && nvram commit
6. Reboot the device by:
reboot
Previous commands flashed an ubinized OpenWrt initramfs that will serve as the intermediate step
since OpenWrt uses unified rootfs in order to fully utilize NAND and provide enough space for packages.
Continue in order to pernamently flash OpenWrt:
7. SSH into OpenWrt from one of the LAN ports
8. Copy the file openwrt-ipq807x-generic-xiaomi_ax9000-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin to the /tmp directory
9. Sysupgrade the device:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ipq807x-generic-xiaomi_ax9000-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Device will reboot with OpenWrt, and then sysupgrade can be used to upgrade the device when desired.

QNAP 301w is a AX WIFI router with 4 1G and 2 10G ports.
Specifications:
• CPU: Qualcomm IPQ8072A Quad core Cortex-A53 2.2GHz
• RAM: 1024MB of DDR3
• Storage: 4GB eMMC (contains kernel and rootfs) / 8MB NOR
(contains art and u-boot-env)
• Ethernet: 4x 1G RJ45 ports + 2 10G ports (Aquantia AQR113C)
• WLAN:
2.4GHz: Qualcomm QCN5024 4x4 (40 MHz) 802.11b/g/n/ax 1174 Mbps PHY rate
5GHz: Qualcomm QCN5054 4x4 (80 MHz) or 2x2 (160 MHz) 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax 2402 PHY rate
• LEDs:
7 x GPIO-controlled dual color LEDs + 2 GPIO-controlled single color LEDs
• Buttons: 1x soft reset / 1x WPS
• Power: 12V DC jack
A poulated serial header is onboard.
RX/TX is working, bootwait is active, secure boot is not enabled.
SSH can be activated in the stock firmware, hold WPS button til the second beep
(yes the router has a buzzer)
SSH is available on port 22200, login with user admin and
password "mac address of the router".
Installation Instructions:
• obtain serial access (https://openwrt.org/inbox/toh/qnap/301w#serial)
• stop auto boot
• setenv serverip 192.168.10.1
• setenv ipaddr 192.168.10.10
• tftpboot the initramfs image
(openwrt-ipq807x-generic-qnap_301w-initramfs-fit-uImage.itb)
• bootm
• make sure that current_entry is set to "0":
"fw_printenv -n current_entry" should be print "0". If not,
do "fw_setenv current_entry 0"
• copy openwrt-ipq807x-generic-qnap_301w-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
to the device to /tmp folder
• sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ipq807x-generic-qnap_301w-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
this flashes openwrt to the first kernel and rootfs partition (mmcblk0p1 / mmcblk0p4)
• reboot
Note: this leaves the second kernel / rootfs parition untouched. So if you want
to go back to stock, stop u-boot autoboot, "setenv current_entry 1" ,
"saveenv", "bootipq".
Stock firmware should start from the second partition.
Then do a firmwareupgrade in the stock gui, that should overwrite the openwrt
in the first partitions
Make 10G Aquantia phy's work:
The aquantia phy's need a firmware to work. This can either be loaded
in linux with a userspace tool or in u-boot.
I was not successfull to load the firmware in linux (aq-fw-download) but luckily there is
aq_load_fw available in u-boot. But first the right firmware needs to write
to the 0:ETHPHYFW mtd partition (it is empty on my device)
Grab the ethphy firmware image from:
https://github.com/kirdesde/nbg7815_gpl/blob/master/target/linux/ipq/ipq807x_64/prebuilt_images/AQR_ethphyfw.mbn
and scp that to openwrt.
Check the 0:ETHPHYFW partition number:
cat /proc/mtd|grep "0:ETHPHYFW", should be mtd10.
Backup the 0:ETHPHYFW partition:
dd if=/dev/mtd10 of=/tmp/ethphyfw.backup, scp ethphyfw.backup to a save place.
Write the new firmware image to the 0:ETHPHYFW partition:
"mtd erase /dev/mtd10", "mtd -n write AQR_ethphyfw.mbn /dev/mtd10".
Reboot to u-boot.
Check if aq_load_fw is working:
"aq_load_fw 0", that checks the firmware and if successfull,
loads iram and dram to one of the aquantia phy's.
If that worked, add the aq_load_fw to the bootcmd:
setenv bootcmd "aq_load_fw 0 && aq_load_fw 8 && bootipq"
"saveenv"
"reset"
Board reboots and the firmware load to both phy's should start and
then openwrt boots.
Check if the 10G ports work.
Note: lan port labeled "10G-2" is configured as WAN port as per default.
All other port are in the br-lan. This can be changed in the network config.

SOC: Qualcomm IPQ4019
WiFi 1: QCA4019 IEEE 802.11b/g/n
WiFi 2: QCA4019 IEEE 802.11a/n/ac
WiFi 3: QCA8888 IEEE 802.11a/n/ac
Bluetooth: Qualcomm CSR8811 (A12U)
Zigbee: Silicon Labs EM3581 NCP + Skyworks SE2432L
Ethernet: Qualcomm Atheros QCA8072 (2-port)

RAM (NAND): SK hynix H5TC4G63CFR-PBA (512MB)
LED Controller: NXP PCA9633 (I2C)
Buttons: Single reset button (GPIO).
- The three WiFis were fully tested and are configured with the same settings as in the vendor firmware.
- The specific board files were submitted to the ATH10k mailing list but I'm still waiting for a reply. They can be removed once they are approved upstream.
- Two ethernet ports are accessible on the device. By default one is configured as WAN and the other one is LAN. They are fully working.
Bluetooth:
========
- Fully working with the following caveats:
- RFKILL need to be enabled in the kernel.
- An older version of bluez is needed as bccmd is needed to configure the chip.
Zigbee:
======
- The spidev device is available in the /dev directory.
- GPIOs are configured the same way as in the vendor firmware.
- Tests are on-going. I am working on getting access to the Silicon Labs stack to validate that it is fully working.
Installation:
=========
The squash-factory image can be installed via the Linksys Web UI:
1. Open "http://192.168.1.1/ca" (Change the IP with the IP of your device).
2. Login with your admin password.
3. To enter into the support mode, click on the "CA" link and the bottom of the page.
4. Open the "Connectivity" menu and upload the squash-factory image with the "Choose file" button.
5. Click start. Ignore all the prompts and warnings by click "yes" in all the popups.
The device uses a dual partition mechanism. The device automatically revert to the previous partition after 3 failed boot attempts.
If you want to force the previous firmware to load, you can turn off and then turn on the device for 2 seconds, 3 times in a row.
It can also be done via TFTP:
1. Setup a local TFTP server and configure its IP to 192.168.1.100.
2. Rename your image to "nodes_v2.img" and put it to the TFTP root of your server.
3. Connect to the device through the serial console.
4. Power on device and press enter when prompted to drop into U-Boot.
5. Flash the partition of your choice by typing "run flashimg" or "run flashimg2".
6. Once flashed, enter "reset" to reboot the device.

It has been brought to my attention that recently added WCN6855 firmware
is broken as it is getting stripped during building due to being 2 ELF
binaries.
I am sure WCN6750 and any other ELF binaries are having the same issue,
so since stripping firmware binaries is clearly unwanted disable it.

According to commit 6f6c2fb321, AP6335 module used in PICO-PI-IMX7D works
only with firmware from `linux-firmware`. However, firmware from
`cypress-firmware` suite is directly from the chip company (Infineon) and
is actually newer.
Instead of dropping the firmware from Infineon, create a package named
`brcmfmac-firmware-4339-sdio`, and keep the Infineon version of
`cypress-firmware-4339-sdio` around.
This gives us devs the option to choose. Also, it means that
- packages `brcmfmac-firmware-*` uniformly come from `linux-firmware`
- packages `cypress-firmware-*` uniformly come from `cypress-firmware`
so hopefully brings more clarity.

Instead of moving these firmware files to `brcm` subdirectory and changing

and use symbolic links to provide compatibility with Broadcom FullMAC

This gives more context to where the firmware comes from.

PROVIDES for these packages will cause ambiguity and circular dependency
in planned changes.
For example, if there is a package `brcmfmac-firmware-43455-sdio-rpi-cm4`
that depends on `brcmfmac-firmware-43455-sdio-rpi-4b`, there is no way to
tell which one of below packages the system will go for.
- package named `brcmfmac-firmware-43455-sdio-rpi-4b`
- package named `cypress-nvram-43455-sdio-rpi-4b` that PROVIDES
`brcmfmac-firmware-43455-sdio-rpi-4b`
When ambiguity is unacceptable, PROVIDES (aliases) shall be removed and
packages shall only be used through their exact name.
So remove PROVIDES and keep only CONFLICTS.

Back to Stock (!!! need original dump taken from initramfs !!!)
-------------
1. Place mtd16.bin and mtd17.bin initramfs image
for the device on a TFTP in the server's root.
This example uses Server IP: 192.168.0.2
2. Connect serial console (115200,8n1) to serial console
connector (refer to the pin-out from above).
3. Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port (WAN/LAN1).
4. rename mtd16.bin to web.img and mtd17.bin to root_uImage_s
5. Stop in u-Boot (using ESC button) and run u-Boot commands:
This will erase RootFS+Web:
nand erase 0x1000000 0x800000
nand erase 0x1800000 0x1D00000
This will restore RootFS:
tftpboot 0x84000000 ${dir}root_uImage_s
nand erase 0x1800000 0x1D00000
nand write $fileaddr 0x1800000 $filesize
This will restore Web Interface:
tftpboot 0x84000000 ${dir}web.img
nand erase 0x1000000 0x800000
nand write $fileaddr 0x1000000 $filesize
After first boot on stock firwmare, do a factory reset.
Push reset button for 5 seconds so all parameters will
be reverted to the one printed on label on bottom of the router

- Power : 12 VDC, 2.5 A
Flash instruction using initramfs image:
1. Prepare TFTP server with the IP address 192.168.132.100 and place the
initramfs image to TFTP directory with the name "C0A88401.img"
2. Boot NCP-HG100/Cellular and interrupt after the message
"Hit any key to stop autoboot: 2"
3. Perform the following commands and set bootcmd to allow booting from
eMMC
setenv bootcmd "mmc read 0x84000000 0x2e22 0x4000 && bootm 0x84000000"
saveenv
4. Perform the following command to load/boot the OpenWrt initramfs image
tftpboot && bootm
5. On the initramfs image, perform sysupgrade with the sysupgrade image
(if needed, backup eMMC partitions by dd command and download to
other place before performing sysupgrade)
6. Wait for ~120 seconds to complete flashing
Known issues:
- There are no drivers for audio-related chips/functions in Linux Kernel
and OpenWrt, they cannot be used.
- There is no driver for MINI54FDE Micro-Controller Unit, customized for
this device by the firmware in the MCU. This chip controls the
following functions, but they cannot be controlled in OpenWrt.
- RGB LED
- Fan
this fan is controlled automatically by MCU by default, without
driver
- Thermal Sensors (2x)
- Currently, there is no driver or tool for CY8C4014LQI and cannot be
controlled. It cannot be exited from "booting mode" and moved to "normal
op mode" after booting. And also, the 4x buttons (mic mute, vol down,
vol up, alexa trigger) connected to the IC cannot be controlled.
- it can be exited from "booting mode" by installing and executing
i2cset command:
opkg update
opkg install i2c-tools
i2cset -y 1 0x14 0xf 1
- There is a connection issue on the control by uqmi for the WWAN module.
But modemmanager can be used without any issues and the use of it is
recommended.
- With the F2FS format, too many errors are reported on erasing eMMC
partition "rootfs_data" while booting:

So, this support uses ext4 format instead which has no errors.
Note:
- The primary uart is shared for debug console and Z-Wave chip. The
function is switched by GPIO15 (Linux: 427).
value:
1: debug console
0: Z-Wave
- NCP-HG100/Cellular has 2x os-image pairs in eMMC.
- 0:HLOS, rootfs
- 0:HLOS_1, rootfs_1
In OpenWrt, the first image pair is used.
- "bootipq" command in U-Boot requires authentication with signed-image
by default. To boot unsigned image of OpenWrt, use "mmc read" and
"bootm" command instead.
- This support is for "Cellular" variant of NCP-HG100 and not tested on
"WLAN" (non-cellular) variant.
- The board files of ipq-wifi may also be used in "WLAN" variant of
NCP-HG100, but unconfirmed and add files as for "Cellular" variant.
- "NET" LED is used to indicate WWAN status in stock firmware.
- There is no MAC address information in the label on the case, use the
address included in UUID in the label as "label-MAC" instead.
- The "CLOUD" LEDs are partially used for indication of system status in
stock firmware, use they as status LEDs in OpenWrt instead of RGB LED
connected to the MCU.
