Specify firmware partition format by compatible string.
formats in ramips:
- denx,uimage
- tplink,firmware
- seama
It's unlikely but the firmware splitting might not work any longer for
the following boards, due to a custom header:
- EX2700: two uImage headers
- BR-6478AC-V2: edimax-header
- 3G-6200N: edimax-header
- 3G-6200NL: edimax-header
- BR-6475ND: edimax-header
- TEW-638APB-V2: umedia-header
- RT-N56U: mkrtn56uimg
But it rather looks like the uImage splitter is fine with the extra
header.
The following dts are not touched, due to lack of a compatible string in
the matching firmware splitter submodule:
- CONFIG_MTD_SPLIT_JIMAGE_FW
DWR-116-A1.dts
DWR-118-A2.dts
DWR-512-B.dts
DWR-921-C1.dts
LR-25G001.dts
- CONFIG_MTD_SPLIT_TRX_FW
WCR-1166DS.dts
WSR-1166.dts
- CONFIG_MTD_SPLIT_MINOR_FW
RBM11G.dts
RBM33G.dts
- CONFIG_MTD_SPLIT_LZMA_FW
AR670W.dts
- CONFIG_MTD_SPLIT_WRGG_FW
DAP-1522-A1.dts

Starting with kernel 4.4, the use of partitions as direct subnodes of the
mtd device is discouraged and only supported for backward compatiblity
reasons.

The ZBT WE1026-5G
(http://www.zbtlink.com/products/router/WE1026-5G.html) is the follow-up
to the ZBT WE1026 and is based on MT7620. For the previous WE1026, the
ZBT WE826 image could be used. However, as the name implies, the -5G
comes equipped with a 5GHz wifi radio. As the WE826 only has a 2.4GHz
radio, the addition of 5GHz means that a separate image is needed for
the WE1026-5G. I suspect that this image will also work on the previous
WE1026, but I don't have a device to test with.
The WE1026-5G has following specifications:
* CPU: MT7620A
* 1x 10/100Mbps Ethernet.
* 16 MB Flash.
* 64 MB RAM.
* 1x USB 2.0 port.
* 1x mini-PCIe slots.
* 1x SIM slots.
* 1x 2.4Ghz WIFI.
* 1x 5GHz wifi (MT7612)
* 1x button.
* 3x controllable LEDs.
Works:
* Wifi.
* Switch.
* mini-PCIe slot. Only tested with a USB device (a modem).
* SIM slot.
* Sysupgrade.
* Button (reset).
Not working:
* The 5GHz WIFI LED is completely dead. I suspect the issue is the same
as on other devices with Mediatek 5Ghz wifi-cards/chips. The LED is
controlled by the driver, and mt76 (currently) does not support this.
Not tested:
* SD card reader.
Notes:
* The modem (labeled 3G/4G) and power LEDs are controlled by the
hardware.
* There is a 32MB version of this device available, but I do not have
access to it. I have therefor only added support for the 16MB version,
but added all the required infrastructure to make adding support for the
32MB version easy.
Installation:
The router comes pre-installed with OpenWRT, including a variant of
Luci. The initial firmware install can be done through this UI,
following normal procedure. I.e., access the UI and update the firmware
using the sysupgrade-image. Remember to select that you do not want to
keep existing settings.
Recovery:
If you brick the device, the WE1026-5G supports recovery using HTTP. Keep the
reset button pressed for ~5sec when booting to start the web server. Set the
address of the network interface on your machine to 192.168.1.2/24, and
point your browser to 192.168.1.1 to access the recovery UI. From the
recovery UI you can upload a firmware image.
