Specification:
- MT7981 CPU using 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi (both AX)
- MT7531 switch
- 512MB RAM
- 128MB NAND flash with two UBI partitions with identical size
- 1 multi color LED (red, green, blue, white) connected via GCA230718
- 3 buttons (WPS, reset, LED on/off)
- 1 1Gbit WAN port
- 4 1Gbit LAN ports
Disassembly:
- There are four screws at the bottom: 2 under the rubber feets, 2 under the label.
- After removing the screws, the white plastic part can be shifted out of the blue part.
- Be careful because the antennas are mounted on the side and the top of the white part.
Serial Interface
- The serial interface can be connected to the 4 pin holes on the side of the board.
- Pins (from front to rear):
- 3.3V
- RX
- TX
- GND
- Settings: 115200, 8N1
MAC addresses:
- WAN MAC is stored in partition "Odm" at offset 0x81
- LAN (as printed on the device) is WAN MAC + 1
- WLAN MAC (2.4 GHz) is WAN MAC + 2
- WLAN MAC (5GHz) is WAN MAC + 3
Flashing via Recovery Web Interface:
- The recovery web interface always flashes to the currently active partition.
- If OpenWrt is flahsed to the second partition, it will not boot.
- Ensure that you have an OEM image available (encrypted and decrypted version). Decryption is described in the end.
- Set your IP address to 192.168.200.10, subnetmask 255.255.255.0
- Press the reset button while powering on the device
- Keep the reset button pressed until the LED blinks red
- Open a Chromium based and goto http://192.168.200.1 (recovery web interface)
- Download openwrt-mediatek-filogic-dlink_aquila-pro-ai-m30-a1-squashfs-recovery.bin
- The recovery web interface always reports successful flashing, even if it fails
- After flashing, the recovery web interface will try to forward the browser to 192.168.0.1 (can be ignored)
- If OpenWrt was flashed to the first partition, OpenWrt will boot (The status LED will start blinking white and stay white in the end). In this case you're done and can use OpenWrt.
- If OpenWrt was flashed to the second partition, OpenWrt won't boot (The status LED will stay red forever). In this case, the following steps are reuqired:
- Start the web recovery interface again and flash the **decrypted OEM image**. This will be flashed to the second partition as well. The OEM firmware web interface is afterwards accessible via http://192.168.200.1.
- Now flash the **encrypted OEM image** via OEM firmware web interface. In this case, the new firmware is flashed to the first partition. After flashing and the following reboot, the OEM firmware web interface should still be accessible via http://192.168.200.1.
- Start the web recovery interface again and flash the OpenWrt recovery image. Now it will be flashed to the first partition, OpenWrt will boot correctly afterwards and is accessible via 192.168.1.1.
Flashing via U-Boot:
- Open the case, connect to the UART console
- Set your IP address to 192.168.200.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Connect to one of the LAN interfaces of the router
- Run a tftp server which provides openwrt-mediatek-filogic-dlink_aquila-pro-ai-m30-a1-initramfs-kernel.bin.
- Power on the device and select "7. Load image" in the U-Boot menu
- Enter image file, tftp server IP and device IP (if they differ from the default).
- TFTP download to RAM will start. After a few seconds OpenWrt initramfs should start
- The initramfs is accessible via 192.168.1.1, change your IP address accordingly (or use multiple IP addresses on your interface)
- Perform a sysupgrade using openwrt-mediatek-filogic-dlink_aquila-pro-ai-m30-a1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
- Reboot the device. OpenWrt should start from flash now
Revert back to stock using the Recovery Web Interface:
- Set your IP address to 192.168.200.2, subnetmask 255.255.255.0
- Press the reset button while powering on the device
- Keep the reset button pressed until the LED blinks red
- Open a Chromium based and goto http://192.168.200.1 (recovery web interface)
- Flash a decrypted firmware image from D-Link. Decrypting an firmware image is described below.
Decrypting a D-Link firmware image:
- Download https://github.com/RolandoMagico/firmware-utils/blob/M32/src/m32-firmware-util.c
- Compile a binary from the downloaded file, e.g. gcc m32-firmware-util.c -lcrypto -o m32-firmware-util
- Run ./m32-firmware-util M30 --DecryptFactoryImage <OriginalFirmware> <OutputFile>
- Example for firmware M30A1_FW101B05: ./m32-firmware-util M30 --DecryptFactoryImage M30A1_FW101B05\(0725091522\).bin M30A1_FW101B05\(0725091522\)_decrypted.bin
Flashing via OEM web interface is not possible, as it will change the active partition and OpenWrt is only running on the first UBI partition.
Controlling the LEDs:
- The LEDs are controlled by a chip called "GCA230718" which is connected to the main CPU via I2C (address 0x40)
- I didn't find any documentation or driver for it, so the information below is purely based on my investigations
- If there is already I driver for it, please tell me. Maybe I didn't search enough
- I implemented a kernel module (leds-gca230718) to access the LEDs via DTS
- The LED controller supports PWM for brightness control and ramp control for smooth blinking. This is not implemented in the driver
- The LED controller supports toggling (on -> off -> on -> off) where the brightness of the LEDs can be set individually for each on cycle
- Until now, only simple active/inactive control is implemented (like when the LEDs would have been connected via GPIO)
- Controlling the LEDs requires three sequences sent to the chip. Each sequence consists of
- A reset command (0x81 0xE4) written to register 0x00
- A control command (for example 0x0C 0x02 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xFF 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xFF 0x87 written to register 0x03)
- The reset command is always the same
- In the control command
- byte 0 is always the same
- byte 1 (0x02 in the example above) must be changed in every sequence: 0x02 -> 0x01 -> 0x03)
- byte 2 is set to 0x01 which disables toggling. 0x02 would be LED toggling without ramp control, 0x03 would be toggling with ramp control
- byte 3 to 6 define the brightness values for the LEDs (R,G,B,W) for the first on cycle when toggling
- byte 7 defines the toggling frequency (if toggling enabled)
- byte 8 to 11 define the brightness values for the LEDs (R,G,B,W) for the second on cycle when toggling
- byte 12 is constant 0x87
Comparison to M32/R32:
- The algorithms for decrypting the OEM firmware are the same for M30/M32/R32, only the keys differ
- The keys are available in the GPL sources for the M32
- The M32/R32 contained raw data in the firmware images (kernel, rootfs), the R30 uses a sysupgrade tar instead
- Creation of the recovery image is quite similar, only the header start string changes. So mostly takeover from M32/R32 for that.
- Turned out that the bytes at offset 0x0E and 0x0F in the recovery image header are the checksum over the data area
- This checksum was not checked in the recovery web interface of M32/R32 devices, but is now active in R30
- I adapted the recovery image creation to also calculate the checksum over the data area
- The recovery image header for M30 contains addresses which don't match the memory layout in the DTS. The same addresses are also present in the OEM images
- The recovery web interface either calculates the correct addresses from it or has it's own logic to determine where which information must be written

When building MT7629 with ALL_KMODS then we get prompted for

The vendor u-boot knows nothing about UBI, and we used to have a
fixed-size kernel partition for vendor u-boot and UBI for rootfs.
However, that fixed partition becomes too small eventually, and
expanding it requires complicated procedure.
This commit changed the flash layout and added a second u-boot
where the kernel supposed to be.
Now the vendor u-boot chainloads our mainline u-boot, and our
u-boot reads kernel+rootfs from UBI, verifies it, and boot
into OpenWrt.
There are two possible ways to convert from the old fw:
Flash the factory image using mtd (provided by @rany2):
mount -o remount,ro /
mount -o remount,ro /overlay
cd /tmp
dd if=factory.bin bs=1M count=4 | mtd write - kernel
dd if=factory.bin bs=1M skip=4 | mtd -r write - ubi
Or, flash the 2nd u-boot via mtd and upload the firmware
to the 2nd u-boot using tftp:
1. prepare a tftp server at 192.168.1.254 to serve the
sysupgrade image:
openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-xiaomi_redmi-router-ax6s-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb
2. upload the ubi-loader.itb to OpenWrt /tmp, and flash it to
the old kernel partition:
mtd -r write openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-xiaomi_redmi-router-ax6s-ubi-loader.itb
3. The router should reboot and flash the sysupgrade image via TFTP.
Procedure for flashing from vendor firmware shouldn't change.

Power: 12V Type-C PD
Installation instructions for eMMC
----------------------------------
0. Set boot switch to boot from SPI-NAND (assuming stock rom or immortalwrt
running there).
1. Write GPT partition table to eMMC
Move openwrt-mediatek-filogic-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-emmc-gpt.bin to
the device /tmp using scp and write it to /dev/mmcblk0:
dd if=/tmp/openwrt-*-r3-mini-emmc-gpt.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0
2. Reboot (to reload partition table)
3. Write bootloader and OpenWrt images
Move files to the device /tmp using scp:
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-emmc-preloader.bin
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-emmc-bl31-uboot.fip
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-initramfs-recovery.itb
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb
Write them to the appropriate partitions:
echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro
dd if=/tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-emmc-preloader.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0boot0
dd if=/tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-emmc-bl31-uboot.fip of=/dev/mmcblk0p3
dd if=/tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-initramfs-recovery.itb of=/dev/mmcblk0p4
dd if=/tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb of=/dev/mmcblk0p5
sync
4. Remove the device from power, set boot switch to eMMC and boot into
OpenWrt. The device will come up with IP 192.168.1.1 and assume the
Ethernet port closer to the USB-C power connector as LAN port.
5. If you like to have Ethernet support inside U-Boot (eg. to boot via
TFTP) you also need to write the PHY firmware to /dev/mmcblk0boot1:
echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot1/force_ro
dd if=/lib/firmware/airoha/EthMD32.dm.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0boot1
dd if=/lib/firmware/airoha/EthMD32.DSP.bin bs=16384 seek=1 of=/dev/mmcblk0boot1
Installation instructions for NAND
----------------------------------
0. Set boot switch to boot from eMMC (assuming OpenWrt is installed there
by instructions above. Using stock rom or immortalwrt does NOT work!)
1. Write things to NAND
Move files to the device /tmp using scp:
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-snand-preloader.bin
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-snand-bl31-uboot.fip
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-initramfs-recovery.itb
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb
Write them to the appropriate locations:
mtd write /tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-snand-preloader.bin /dev/mtd0
ubidetach -m 1
ubiformat /dev/mtd1
ubiattach -m 1
volsize=$(wc -c < /tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-snand-bl31-uboot.fip)
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N fip -n 0 -s $volsize -t static
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_0 /tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-snand-bl31-uboot.fip
cd /lib/firmware/airoha
cat EthMD32.dm.bin EthMD32.DSP.bin > /tmp/en8811h-fw.bin
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N en8811h-firmware -n 1 -s 147456 -t static
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_1 /tmp/en8811h-fw.bin
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 2 -N ubootenv -s 126976
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 3 -N ubootenv2 -s 126976
volsize=$(wc -c < /tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-initramfs-recovery.itb)
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 4 -N recovery -s $volsize
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_4 /tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-initramfs-recovery.itb
volsize=$(wc -c < /tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb)
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 4 -N recovery -s $volsize
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_4 /tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb
3. Remove the device from power, set boot switch to NAND, power up and
boot into OpenWrt.
Partially based on immortalwrt support for the R3 mini, big thanks for
doing the ground work!

Move fip and factory into UBI static volumes.
Use fitblk instead of partition parser.
!! RUN INSTALLER FIRST !!
Existing users of previous OpenWrt releases or snapshot builds will
have to **re-run the updated installer** before upgrading to firmware
after this commit.
DO NOT flash or run even just the initramfs image unless you have
run the updated installer which moves the content of the 'factory'
partition into a UBI volume.
tl;dr: DON'T USE YET!

Add environment settings for the BananaPi BPI-R4 router board which
can boot from (and store its bootloader environment on) micro SD card,
SPI-NAND and eMMC.
Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org>
Hardware
--------
SOC: MediaTek MT7988A (4x Cortex-A73)
RAM: 4 GiB DDR4
Flash: 128 MiB Winbond SPI-NAND
MMC: 8 GiB eMMC *or* microSD (cannot be used both)
ETH: 4x 1GE (1x WAN, 3x LAN)
2x SFP+ (10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G)
USB: on-board USB 3.2 4-port hub
1x USB 3.2 port (type A connector)
1x M.2 for 4G/5G modem
2x mPCIe for additional modems
WiFi: optional MediaTek MT7996 Wi-Fi 7 module
(using 2x PCIe gen3 x2 on the mPCIe slots and 12V power)
Installation
------------
1. Decompress and write the sdcard image to a micro SD card and use that
to boot the R4 (both dip switches in upper position).
2. Use the bootloader menu accessible via the serial console to install
to SPI-NAND.
3. Switch to boot from SPI-NAND and install to eMMC.
Known issues
------------
- The RST button is hard-wired to the SoC reset and can't be read
from software. This can be changed by modifying the board (ie.
moving a 0-ohm resistor). However, in order to maintain compatibility
with the board as it comes from factory the button isn't used by
OpenWrt and the WPS button is used as factory/reset button instead.
- various small things still need to be fixed in DT

In order to allow gradually migrating the boards currently using the
uImage.FIT partition (deprecated/rejected) parser to the new fitblk
driver, skip the partition parser code in case the new fitblk driver
(which serves the same purpose) is used.
As an indicator for the use of the new fitblk driver, check if the
/chosen/rootdisk property is present in the Device Tree.

The partition parser approach has been rejected upstream, it will be
replaced by a small block driver which is the solution suggestion by
upstream maintainers.
As the partition parser has only been used by the mediatek target, as
a first step, move it there.
