Installation
------------
Using the webcmd interface
--------------------------
Warning: Do not update to the latest Wavlink firmware (version
20201201) as this removes the webcmd console and you will need to
use the serial port instead.
You will need to have built uboot/sqauashfs image for this device,
and you will need to provide an HTTP service where the image can
be downloaded from that is accessible by the device.
You cannot use the device manufacturers firmware upgrade interface
as it rejects the OpenWrt image.
1. Log into the device's admin portal. This is necessary to
authenticate you as a user in order to be able to access the
webcmd interface.
2. Navigate to http://<device-ip>/webcmd.shtml - you can access
the console directly through this page, or you may wish to
launch the installed `telnetd` and use telnet instead.
* Using telnet is recommended since it provides a more
convenient shell interface that the web form.
* Launch telnetd from the form with the command `telnetd`.
* Check the port that telnetd is running on using
`netstat -antp|grep telnetd`, it is likely to be 2323.
* Connect to the target using `telnet`. The username should
be `admin2860`, and the password is your admin password.
3. On the target use `curl` to download the image.
e.g. `curl -L -O http://<some-other-lan-ip>/openwrt-ramips-mt7620-\
wavlink_wl-wn579x3-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin`.
Check the hash using `md5sum`.
4. Use the mtd_write command to flash the image.
* The flash partition should be mtd4, but check
/sys/class/mtd/mtd4/name first. The partition should be
called 'Kernel'.
* To flash use the following command:
`mtd_write -r -e /dev/mtd<n> write <image-file> /dev/mtd<n>`
Where mtd<n> is the Kernel partition, and <image-file> is
the OpenWrt image previously downloaded.
* The command above will erase, flash and then reboot the
device. Once it reboots it will be running OpenWrt.
Connect via ssh to the device at 192.168.1.1 on the LAN port.
The WAN port will be configured via DHCP.
Using the serial port
---------------------
The device uses uboot like many other MT7260a based boards. To
use this interface, you will need to connect to the serial
interface, and provide a TFTP server. At boot follow the
bootloader menu and select option 2 to erase/flash the image.
Provide the address and filename details for the tftp server.
The bootloader will do the rest.
Once the image is flashed, the board will boot into OpenWrt. The
console is available over the serial port.

* UART: 1* TTL, Baudrate 57600
Descriptions:
Previous supported device YOUKU yk1 is actually Youku YK-L1. Though they look
really different, the only hardware difference between the two models is flash
size, YK-L1 has 32 MiB flash but YK-L1c has 16MiB. It seems that YK-L1c can
compatible with YK-L1's firmware but it's better to split it to different models.
It is easy to identify the models by looking at the label on the bottom of the
device. The label has the model number "YK-L1" or "YK-L1c". Due to different flash
sizes, YK-L1c that using previous YK-L1's firmware needs to apply "force update"
to install compatible firmware, so please backup config file before system upgrade.

Youku YK-L1 has a huge storage space up to 32 MB. It is better to
use a higher spi clock to read or write serial nor flash chips.
Youku YK-L1 has Winbond w25q256fvfg on board that can support
104 MHz spi clock so 48 MHz is safe enough.
The real frequency can only be sysclk(580MHz ) /3 /(2^n) so 80 MHz
defined in dts file will set only 48 MHz in spi bus.

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME [1]:
- This is a kernel driver for SSD connected to PCI or PCIe bus [1].
By default, it is enabled for targets "ipq807x", "rockchip/armv8"
and "x86/64".
With miniPCIe adapter, there is a possibility to connect NVMe disk
to Turris Omnia (cortex-a9), Turris MOX (cortex-a53).
It allows to boot system from NVMe disk, because of that it can not
be kmod package as you can not access the disk to be able to boot from
it.
CONFIG_NVME_CORE [2]:
- This is selected by CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME
It does not need to be explicitly enabled, but it is done for "ipq807",

[rebased for config-5.4]
These devices only have 6MiB available for firmware, which is not
enough for recent release images, so move these to the tiny target.
Note for users sysupgrading from the previous ath79-generic snapshot
images:
The tiny target kernel has a 4Kb flash erase block size instead
of the generic target's 64kb. This means the JFFS2 overlay partition
containing settings must be reformatted with the new block size or else
there will be data corruption.
To do this, backup your settings before upgrading, then during the
sysupgrade, de-select "Keep Settings". On the CLI, use "sysupgrade -n".
If you forget to do this and your system becomes unstable after
upgrading, you can do this to format the partition and recover:
* Reboot
* Press RESET when Power LED blinks during boot to enter Failsafe mode
* SSH to 192.168.1.1
* Run "firstboot" and reboot

(cherry picked from commit cf20f1bb5f)
The following devices have a Winbond W25Q256FV flash chip,
which does not have the RESET pin enabled by default,
and otherwise would require setting a bit in a status register.
Before moving to Linux 5.4, we had the patch:
0053-mtd-spi-nor-add-w25q256-3b-mode-switch.patch
which kept specific flash chips with explicit 3-byte and 4-byte address modes
to stay in 3-byte address mode while idle (after an erase or write)
by using a custom flag SPI_NOR_4B_READ_OP that was part of the patch.
this was obsoleted by the patch:
481-mtd-spi-nor-rework-broken-flash-reset-support.patch
which uses the newer upstream flag SNOR_F_BROKEN_RESET
for devices with a flash chip that cannot be hardware reset with RESET pin
and therefore must be left in 3-byte address mode when idle.
The new patch requires that the DTS of affected devices
have the property "broken-flash-reset", which was not yet added for most of them.
This commit adds the property for remaining affected devices in ramips target,
specifically because of the flash chip model.
However, it is possible that there are other devices
where the flash chip uses an explicit 4-byte address mode
and the RESET pin is not connected to the SOC on the board,
and those DTS would also need this property.

a20-olinuxino-lime2 is currently having hard time with link detection of
certain 1000Mbit partners due to usage of generic PHY driver, probably
due to following missing workaround introduced in upstream in commit
3aed3e2a143c ("net: phy: micrel: add Asym Pause workaround"):
The Micrel KSZ9031 PHY may fail to establish a link when the Asymmetric
Pause capability is set. This issue is described in a Silicon Errata
(DS80000691D or DS80000692D), which advises to always disable the
capability. This patch implements the workaround by defining a KSZ9031
specific get_feature callback to force the Asymmetric Pause capability
bit to be cleared.
This fixes issues where the link would not come up at boot time, or when
the Asym Pause bit was set later on.
As a20-olinuxino-lime2 has Micrel KSZ9031RNXCC-TR Gigabit PHY since
revision H, so we need to use Micrel PHY driver on those devices.

Don't download all of vim just to build xxd. Use a tight tarball
containing only xxd sources instead.

U-Boot requires xxd to create the default environment from an external
file as done in uboot-mediatek.
Build xxd (only, not the rest of vim) as part of tools to make sure it
is present on the buildhost.

OpenWrt uses a lot of (b)ash scripts for initial setup. This isn't the
best solution as they almost never consider syncing files / data. Still
this is what we have and we need to try living with it.
Without proper syncing OpenWrt can easily get into an inconsistent state
on power cut. It's because:
1. Actual (flash) inode and data writes are not synchronized
2. Data writeback can take up to 30 seconds (dirty_expire_centisecs)
3. ubifs adds extra 5 seconds (dirty_writeback_centisecs) "delay"
Some possible cases (examples) for new files:
1. Power cut during 5 seconds after write() can result in all data loss
2. Power cut happening between 5 and 35 seconds after write() can result
in empty file (inode flushed after 5 seconds, data flush queued)
Above affects e.g. uci-defaults. After executing some migration script
it may get deleted (whited out) without generated data getting actually
written. Power cut will result in missing data and deleted file.
There are three ways of dealing with that:
1. Rewriting all user-space init to proper C with syncs
2. Trying bash hacks (like creating tmp files & moving them)
3. Adding sync and hoping for no power cut during critical section
This change introduces the last solution that is the simplest. It
reduces time during which things may go wrong from ~35 seconds to
probably less than a second. Of course it applies only to IO operations
performed before /etc/init.d/boot . It's probably the stage when the
most new files get created.
All later changes are usually done using smarter C apps (e.g. busybox or
uci) that creates tmp files and uses rename() that is expected to be
atomic.

New BCM4908 devices come with U-Boot instead of CFE. Firmwares for such
devices has to include U-Boot.

This driver is needed to boot from CompactFlash on the Siemens Futro S400.
The device has an AMD NX1500 CPU, which seems to be unsupported by the
geode subtarget, so it must use legacy.

1. Create "rootfs_data" dynamicaly
U-Boot firmware images can contain only 2 UBI volumes: bootfs (container
with U-Boot + kernel + DTBs) and rootfs (e.g. squashfs). There is no way
to include "rootfs_data" UBI volume or make firmware file tell U-Boot to
create one.
For that reason "rootfs_data" needs to be created dynamically. Use
preinit script to handle that. Fire it right before "mount_root" one.
2. Relate "rootfs_data" to flashed firmware
As already explained flashing new firmware with U-Boot will do nothing
to the "rootfs_data". It could result in new firmware reusing old
"rootfs_data" overlay UBI volume and its file. Users expect a clean
state after flashing firmware (even if flashing the same one).
Solve that by reading flash counter of running firmware and storing it
in "rootfs_data" UBI volume. Every mismatch will result in wiping old
data.
