Pakedge WR-1 is a dual-band wireless router.
Specification
SoC: Qualcomm Atheros IPQ4018
RAM: 256 MB DDR3
Flash: 32 MB SPI NOR
WIFI: 2.4 GHz 2T2R integrated
5 GHz 2T2R integrated
Ethernet: 5x 10/100/1000 Mbps QCA8075
USB: 1x 2.0
LEDS: 8x (3 GPIO controlled, 5 connected to switch)
Buttons: 1x GPIO controlled
UART: pin header J5
1. 3.3V, 2. GND, 3. TX, 4. RX
baud: 115200, parity: none, flow control: none
Installation
1. Rename initramfs image to:
openwrt-ipq806x-qcom-ipq40xx-ap.dk01.1-c1-fit-uImage-initramfs.itb
and copy it to USB flash drive with FAT32 file system.
2. Connect USB flash drive to the router and apply power while pressing
reset button. Hold the button, on the lates bootloader version, when
Power and WiFi-5 LEDs will start blinking release it. For the older
bootloader holding it for 15 seconds should suffice.
3. Now the router boots the initramfs image, at some point (close to one
minute) the Power LED will start blinking, when stops, router is fully
booted.
4. Connect to one of LAN ports and use SSH to open the shell at
192.168.1.1.
5. ATTENTION! now backup the mtd8 and mtd9 partitions, it's necessary if,
at some point, You want to go back to original firmware. The firmware
provided by manufacturer on its site is encrypted and U-Boot accepts
only decrypted factory images, so there's no way to restore original
firmware.
6. If the backup is prepared, transfer the sysupgrade image to the router
and use 'sysupgrade' command to flash it.
7. After successful flashing router will reboot. At some point the Power
LED will start blinking, wait till it stops, then router is ready for
configuration.
Additional information
U-Boot command line is password protected. Password is unknown.

Devices using GPT usually have FAT filesystem on boot partition and
that's where the intermediary backup of system configuration is stored
on sysupgrade. Automatic restoring of OpenWrt configuration after
sysupgrade will be inhibited if the driver is not loaded and file system
type is not specified in mount command.

The patch 921-mt7986-add-mmc-support.patch introduced by commit
dabcaac443 ("mediatek: add mt7986 soc support to the target") has never
been applied in a way that it would have any effect as it actually
created a file target/linux/generic/patches-5.15/... in the kernel tree
and was probably a patch intended to be applied to openwrt.git instead
of being put into kernel patches folder as a file.
As an upstream commit from vanilla Linux also adding support for MT7986
to the mtk-sd driver has already been included we can remove that old
patch.

There are two feature currently altered by the multicast_to_unicast option.
1. bridge level multicast_to_unicast via IGMP snooping
2. hostapd/mac80211 config multicast_to_unicast setting
The hostapd/mac80211 setting has the side effect of converting *all* multicast
or broadcast traffic into per-station duplicated unicast traffic, which can
in some cases break expectations of various protocols.
It also has been observed to cause ARP lookup failure between stations
connected to the same interface.
The bridge level feature is much more useful, since it only covers actual
multicast traffic managed by IGMP, and it implicitly defaults to 1 already.
Renaming the hostapd/mac80211 option to multicast_to_unicast_all should avoid
unintentionally enabling this feature

It shouldn't be needed anymore as we've now `scripts/xxdi.pl`, which

Dependency on xxd was added in commit c4dd2441e7 ("tools: add xxd
(from vim)") as U-Boot requires xxd to create the default environment
from an external file.
Later in commit 2b94aac7a1 ("tools: xxd: use more convenient source
tarball"), xxd from another source was used instead, but that source is
currently unavailable, so let's fix it by using simple xxdi.pl Perl
script instead.

So it can serve as a standalone drop in replacement for xxd utility used
currently mostly in U-Boot packages with `xxd -i` mode which outputs C
include file style, with aim for byte to byte identical output, so the
eventual difference in the generated output is easily spottable.

xxdi.pl is a Perl script that implements vim's 'xxd -i' mode so that
packages do not have to use all of vim just to get this functionality.

Devices with SMALL_FLASH enabled have "SQUASHFS_BLOCK_SIZE=1024" in
their config. This significantly increases the cache memory required by
squashfs [0]. This commit enables low_mem leading to a much better
performance because the SQUASHFS_BLOCK_SIZE is reduced to 256.
Example Nanostation M5 (XM):
The image size increases by 128 KiB. However, the memory statisitcs look
much better:

Installation
------------
1. Attach to the Console port. Power up the device and press the s key
to interrupt autoboot.
2. The default username / password to the bootloader is admin / new2day
3. Update the bootcommand to allow loading OpenWrt.
$ setenv ramboot_openwrt "setenv serverip 192.168.1.66;
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1; tftpboot 0x86000000 openwrt-3915.bin;
bootm"
$ setenv boot_openwrt "sf probe;
sf read 0x88000000 0x280000 0xc00000; bootm 0x88000000"
$ setenv bootcmd "run boot_openwrt"
$ saveenv
4. Download the OpenWrt initramfs image. Serve it using a TFTP server as
"openwrt-3915.bin" at 192.1681.66.
5. Download & boot the OpenWrt initramfs image on the access point.
$ run ramboot_openwrt
6. Wait for OpenWrt to start.
7. Download and transfer the sysupgrade image to the device using e.g.
SCP.
8. Install OpenWrt to the device using "sysupgrade"
$ sysupgrade -n /path/to/openwrt.bin

Adjusting dts will cause a rebuild of whole kernel as the buildroot
considers this a part of kernel source. It's a royal PITA when trying to
prepare support for new device, since this takes a lot of time on slower
systems. As it stands, buildroot itself, with own rule, also compiles
dtbs and the results are $(KDIR)/image-$(DEVICE_DTS).dtb. With setting
DEVICE_DTS_DIR to directory holding the device dts (similarly to some
other targets), buildroot doesn't consider changed dts as part of kernel
source and rebuilds only dtb. This really speeds up development. And
since the kernel built dts are no longer used, drop the paches adding
dtses to its build.
