To create a correct BL2, I had to add a profile for 'spim:4k+256' as I could not find a way to value the variable 'NAND_TYPE'.
Features and fixes from hitech95 tree has been squashed, I'm attaching his commit message:
The Power LED was not working correctly and not reacting
to the boot process and statuses.
The board has space (footprint) for an unpopulated Zigbee chip,
while we dont know the device model having this chip populated
we have to assure that the common dts doesnt enable
interfaces that share pins with such device.
In this instance the PCIe and the uart1 and uart2 are disabled.
Some of the control PCIE pins seems to be used for the Zigbee chip,
UART1 seems to be used as a flash port while UART2 should be the
main comunication interface of Zigbee chip.
The Zigbee chip should be a EFR32MG21. But the pins used for UART
seems to be not on standard PINS used by other adapters.
So it cannot run firmwares shared on the web.
But it should be possible to build a custom firmware with
the corrtect pinmux.
This commit also contains the following squashed commit from hitech95
- mediatek: fix sysupgrade for Zyxel EX7601-T0 ubootmod
Changes and fixes added in common board:
- added aliases for boot status leds.
- added aliases for the mac-label-device.
- added pin claims for core features (MDIO and UART 0)
- added default LEDs configuration (01_leds)
- added default network configuration (02_network)
- added missing kmod-usb3 module for USB3
- fixed LED names
- fixed reset pin for SLIC chip
- removed unused pinmux configurations and devices
- fix LAN (switch) port numbering
- using nvmem cells for wifi eeprom, dropping deprecated "mediatek,mtd-eeprom"
- proper factory partition and mac address handling
- cleaned up spi_nand sections and partition
Changes and fixxes added in stock layout:
- added NMBM, if u-boot has it, the kernel must be informed.

Acelink EW-7886CAX is an MT7986A (AKA Filogic 830) based access point.
It has 512 MiB of RAM, one 2.5 Gbps PoE (802.3at) Ethernet port and
on-SoC Wi-Fi. There is no printed MAC label (on my unit).
My unit came with Mediatek's firmware (based on OpenWrt 21.02)
installed. It was possible to simply upgrade using OpenWrt's sysupgrade
tool.
Another verified upgrade method is using U-Boot (requires UART). During
every boot there is "U-Boot Boot Menu". Selecting option "2. Upgrade
firmware" allows using U-Boot's tftp client to load and flash factory
image.

6. After openwrt boots up, perform sysupgrade.
Note:
1. Since NMBM is disabled, we must back up all partitions.
2. Although we can upgrade new firmware in the stock firmware,
we need the special fit image signature of MediaTek and

Telenor quirks
--------------
The operator specific firmware running on the Telenor branded
ZyXEL EX5700 includes U-Boot modifications affecting the OpenWrt
installation.
Notable changes to U-Boot include
- environment is stored in RAM and reset to defaults when power
cycled
- dual partition scheme with "nomimal" or "rescue" systems, falling
back to "rescue" unless the OS signals success in 3 attempts
- several runtime additions to the device-tree
Some of these modifications have side effects requiring workarounds
- U-Boot modifies /chosen/bootargs in an unsafe manner, and will crash
unless this node exists
- U-Boot verifies that the selected rootfs UBI volume exists, and
refuses to boot if it doesn't. The chosen "rootfs" volume must contain
a squashfs signature even for tftp or initramfs booting.
- U-Boot parses the "factoryparams" UBI volume, setting the "ethaddr"
variable to the label mac. But "factoryparams" does not always
exist. Instead there is a "RIP" volume containing all the factory
data. Copying the "RIP" volume to "factoryparams" will fix this

6. Cut off the power and re-engage, wait for TFTP recovery to complete.
7. After OpenWrt has booted, erase UBI volumes:
ubidetach -p /dev/mtd0
ubiformat -y /dev/mtd0
ubiattach -p /dev/mtd0
8. Create new ubootenv volumes:
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 0 -N ubootenv -s 128KiB
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 1 -N ubootenv2 -s 128KiB
9. Additionally, if you want to have NAND recovery boot feature:
(Don't worry! You will always have TFTP recovery boot feature.)
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 2 -N recovery -s 20MiB
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_2 openwrt-mediatek-filogic-cmcc_rax3000m-initramfs-recovery.itb
10. Perform sysupgrade.

Add build for the MTK3943 reference board for MT7981B+MT7976C.
**Hardware specification:**
- SoC: MediaTek MT7981B 2x A53
- Flash: various options
- RAM: 256MB DDR3
- Ethernet: 4 x 10/100/1000 Mbps via MT7531AE switch
EITHER 1 x 10/100/1000 Mbps built-in PHY
OR 1 x 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps MaxLinear GPY211C
- Switch: MediaTek MT7531AE
- WiFi: MediaTek MT7976C
- Button: RST, WPS
**Flash instructions for SPIM-NAND:**
- write *mt7981-rfb-spim-nand-preloader.bin to 'BL2' partition
- write *mt7981-rfb-spim-nand-bl31-uboot.fip to 'FIP' partition
- erase 'ubi' partition
- reset board
- create ubootenv and ubootenv2 UBI volumes in U-Boot
- edit environment and set bootcmd, e.g.
setenv bootconf 'config-1#mt7981-rfb-spim-nand#mt7981-rfb-mxl-2p5g-phy-eth1'
setenv bootcmd 'ubi read $loadaddr fit; bootm $loadaddr#$bootconf'
- load initramfs image via TFTP:
setenv serverip 192.168.1.254
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
setenv bootfile openwrt-mediatek-filogic-mediatek_mt7981-rfb-initramfs.itb
saveenv ; saveenv
tftpboot
bootm $loadaddr#$bootconf
- Now use sysupgrade to write OpenWrt firmware to flash.
SNFI-NAND, SPIM-NOR and eMMC all work very similar, a bootable SD card image
is also being generated. However, as the board I've been provided only comes
with SPIM-NAND all other boot media are untested.

mtd9: 02200000 00020000 "ubi1"
mtd12: 00040000 00020000 "KF"
```
Use these commands blow to backup your stock partitions.
```
nanddump -f /tmp/BL2.bin /dev/mtd1
nanddump -f /tmp/Nvram.bin /dev/mtd2
nanddump -f /tmp/Bdata.bin /dev/mtd3
nanddump -f /tmp/Factory.bin /dev/mtd4
nanddump -f /tmp/FIP.bin /dev/mtd5
nanddump -f /tmp/ubi.bin /dev/mtd8
nanddump -f /tmp/KF.bin /dev/mtd12
```
Then, transfer them to your computer via scp, netcat, tftp
or others and keep them in a safe place.
3. Setup Nvram
Get the current stock: `cat /proc/cmdline`
If you find `firmware=0` or `mtd=ubi`, use these commands:
```
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set uart_en=1
nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=1
nvram set flag_last_success=1
nvram set flag_boot_success=1
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=0
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
```
If you find `firmware=1` or `mtd=ubi1`, use these commands:
```
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set uart_en=1
nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=0
nvram set flag_last_success=0
nvram set flag_boot_success=1
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=0
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
```
4. Flash stock-initramfs-factory.ubi
If you find `firmware=0` or `mtd=ubi`:
`ubiformat /dev/mtd9 -y -f /tmp/stock-initramfs-factory.ubi`
If you find `firmware=1` or `mtd=ubi1`:
`ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y -f /tmp/stock-initramfs-factory.ubi`
Then reboot your router, it should boot to the openwrt
initramfs system now.
5. Setup uboot-env
Now it will be setup automatically in upgrade process,
you can skip this step.
If your `fw_setenv` did not work, you need run this command:
`echo "/dev/mtd1 0x0 0x10000 0x20000" > /etc/fw_env.config`
Then setup uboot-env:
```
fw_setenv boot_wait on
fw_setenv uart_en 1
fw_setenv flag_boot_rootfs 0
fw_setenv flag_last_success 1
fw_setenv flag_boot_success 1
fw_setenv flag_try_sys1_failed 8
fw_setenv flag_try_sys2_failed 8
fw_setenv mtdparts "nmbm0:1024k(bl2),256k(Nvram),256k(Bdata),
2048k(factory),2048k(fip),256k(crash),256k(crash_log),
34816k(ubi),34816k(ubi1),32768k(overlay),12288k(data),256k(KF)"
```
6. Flash stock-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Use shell command:
`sysupgrade -n /tmp/stock-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin`
Or go to luci web.
If you need to change to Openwrt U-Boot layout, do next. If you
do not need, please ignore it.
Change to OpenWrt U-Boot:
1. Flash ubootmod-initramfs-factory.ubi
Check mtd partitions: `cat /proc/mtd`
```
mtd7: 00040000 00020000 "KF"
mtd8: 02200000 00020000 "ubi_kernel"
mtd9: 04e00000 00020000 "ubi"
```
Run following command:
`ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y -f /tmp/ubootmod-initramfs-factory.ubi`
Then reboot your router, it should boot to the openwrt initramfs
system now.
2. Check mtd again
```
mtd7: 00040000 00020000 "KF"
mtd8: 07000000 00020000 "ubi"
```
Make sure mtd8 is ubi.
3. Install kmod-mtd-rw
Run command: `opkg update && opkg install kmod-mtd-rw`
Or get it in openwrt server, or build it yourself, then install
it manually
Then run this command:
`insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/mtd-rw.ko i_want_a_brick=1`
4. Clean up pstore
Run Command: `rm -f /sys/fs/pstore/*`
5. Format ubi and create new ubootenv volume
```
ubidetach -p /dev/mtd8; ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y; ubiattach -p /dev/mtd8
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 0 -N ubootenv -s 128KiB
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 1 -N ubootenv2 -s 128KiB
```
6. (Optional) Add recovery boot feature.
```
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 2 -N recovery -s 10MiB
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_2 /tmp/ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb
```
7. Flash Openwrt U-Boot
```
mtd write /tmp/ubootmod-preloader.bin BL2
mtd write /tmp/ubootmod-bl31-uboot.fip FIP
```
6. Flash ubootmod-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb
Use shell command:
`sysupgrade -n /tmp/ubootmod-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb`
Or go to luci web.
Now everything is done, Enjoy!
Go Back to stock from Openwrt U-Boot:
1. Force flash ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb
Use shell command:
`sysupgrade -F -n /tmp/ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb`
Or go to luci web.
Then it should boot to the openwrt initramfs system now.
2. Format ubi and Nvram
```
ubidetach -p /dev/mtd8; ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y; ubiattach -p /dev/mtd8
mtd erase Nvram
```
3. Install kmod-mtd-rw
Run command: `opkg update && opkg install kmod-mtd-rw`
Or get it in openwrt server, or build it yourself, then install
it manually
Then run this command:
`insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/mtd-rw.ko i_want_a_brick=1`
4. Flash stock U-Boot and ubi
```
mtd write /tmp/BL2.bin BL2
mtd write /tmp/FIP.bin FIP
mtd write /tmp/ubi.bin ubi
```
Then reboot your router, waiting it finished rollback in minutes.
Go Back to stock from stock layout Openwrt:
Just run command: `ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y -f /tmp/ubi.bin`
Then reboot your router, waiting it finished rollback in minutes.
Notes:
1. Openwrt U-Boot and ubootmod openwrt did not enable NMBM.

Installation Web-UI
-------------------
Upload the Factory image using the devices Web-Interface.
As the device uses a dual-image partition layout, OpenWrt can only
installed on Slot A. This requires the current active image prior
flashing the device to be on Slot B.
In case this is not the case, OpenWrt will boot only one time, returning
to the ZyXEL firmware the second boot.
If this happens, first install a ZyXEL firmware upgrade of any version
and install OpenWrt after that.
Installation TFTP / Recovery
----------------------------
This installation routine is especially useful in case of a bricked
device.
Attach to the UART console header of the device. Interrupt the boot
procedure by pressing Enter.
The bootloader has a reduced command-set available from CLI, but more
commands can be executed by abusing the atns command.
Boot a OpenWrt initramfs image available on a TFTP server at
192.168.1.66. Rename the image to nwa50axpro-openwrt-initramfs.bin.
$ atnf nwa50axpro-openwrt-initramfs.bin
$ atna 192.168.1.88
$ atns "192.168.1.66; tftpboot; setenv fdt_high 0xffffffffffffffff;
bootm"
Upon booting, set the booted image to the correct slot:
$ zyxel-bootconfig /dev/mtd9 get-status
$ zyxel-bootconfig /dev/mtd9 set-image-status 0 valid
$ zyxel-bootconfig /dev/mtd9 set-active-image 0
Copy the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the device using scp.
Write the sysupgrade image to NAND using sysupgrade.
$ sysupgrade -n image.bin

5. Run 'sysupgrade -n' with the sysupgrade OpenWrt image
Installation (without UART)
---------------------------
1. Login as root via SSH (router IP, port 20001, password - your web
interface password)
2. Open for editing /etc/hotplug.d/iface/65-iptv (e.g., using WinSCP and
SSH settings from the p.1)
3. Add a newline after "#!/bin/sh":
telnetd -l /bin/login.sh
4. Save "65-iptv" file
5. Toggle "IPTV/VLAN Enable" checkbox in the router web interface and
save
6. Make sure that telnetd is running:
netstat -ltunp | grep 23
7. Login via telnet to router IP, port 23 (no username and password are
required)
8 Upload OpenWrt "initramfs-kernel.bin" to the "/tmp" folder of the
router (e.g., using WinSCP and SSH settings from the p.1)
9. Stock busybox doesn't contain ubiupdatevol command. Hence, we need to
download and upload the full version of busybox to the router. For
example, from here:
https://github.com/xerta555/Busybox-Binaries/raw/master/busybox-arm64
Upload busybox-arm64 to the /tmp dir of the router and run:
in the telnet shell:
cd /tmp
chmod a+x busybox-arm64
10. Check "initramfs-kernel.bin" size:
du -h initramfs-kernel.bin
11. Delete old and create new "kernel" volume with appropriate size
(greater than "initramfs-kernel.bin" size):
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 1 -N kernel -s 9MiB
12. Write OpenWrt "initramfs-kernel.bin" to the flash:
./busybox-arm64 ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_1 /tmp/initramfs-kernel.bin
13. u-boot-env can be empty so lets create it (or overwrite it if it
already exists) with the necessary values:
fw_setenv baudrate 115200
fw_setenv bootargs "ubi.mtd=ubi0 console=ttyS0,115200n1 loglevel=8 earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0x11002000 init=/etc/preinit"
fw_setenv fdtcontroladdr 5ffc0e70
fw_setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
fw_setenv loadaddr 0x46000000
fw_setenv mtdids "spi-nand0=spi-nand0"
fw_setenv mtdparts "spi-nand0:2M(boot),1M(u-boot-env),50M(ubi0),50M(ubi1),8M(userconfig),4M(tp_data)"
fw_setenv netmask 255.255.255.0
fw_setenv serverip 192.168.1.2
fw_setenv stderr serial@11002000
fw_setenv stdin serial@11002000
fw_setenv stdout serial@11002000
fw_setenv tp_boot_idx 0
14. Reboot to OpenWrt initramfs:
reboot
15. Login as root via SSH (IP 192.168.1.1, port 22)
16. Upload OpenWrt sysupgrade.bin image to the /tmp dir of the router
17. Run sysupgrade:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/sysupgrade.bin

(cherry picked from commit 984786a2f7)
If the board comes up with OpenWrt that means that the bootloader is
recent enough and knows about the new device tree overlays.
Using /etc/board.d/ is not enough in this case because it doesn't
overwrite existing configuration which may exist (and is fine to exist)
if the user updated with 'sysupgrade -F *.itb' and has kept
configuration. They would still need to manually set compat_version
even though the fact that the bootloader env has been updated can be
implied by the fact that the system has started.
Hence we can always set compat_version=1.1 for those two boards using
uci-defaults.

The router boots BL2 which than loads FIP (u-boot).
U-boot has hardcoded a command to always launch Zloader "mtd read zloader 0x46000000" and than "bootm". Bootargs are deactivated.
Zloader is the zyxel booloader which allow to dual-boot ubi or ubi2, by default access to zloader is blocked.
Too zloader checks that the firmware contains a particolar file called zyfwinfo.
Additional details regarding Zloader can be found here:

Installation
------------
Keep in mind that openwrt can only run on the UBI partition, the openwrt firmware is not able to understand the zloader bootargs.
The procedure allows restoring the UBI partition with the Zyxel firmware and retains all the OEM functionalities.
1. Unlock Zloader (this will allow to swap manually between partitions UBI and UBI2):
- Attach a usb-ttl adapter to your computer and boot the router.
- While the router is booting at some point you will read the following: `Please press Enter to activate this console.`
- As soon as you read that press enter, type root and than press enter again (just do it, don't care about the logs scrolling).
- Most likely the router is still printing the boot log, leave it boot until it stops.
- If everything went ok you should have full root access "root@EX5601-T0:/#".
- Type the following command and press enter: "fw_setenv EngDebugFlag 0x1".
- Reboot the router.
- As soon as you read `Hit any key to stop autoboot:` press Enter.
- If everything went ok you should have the following prompt: "ZHAL>".
- You have successfully unlocked zloader access, this procedure must be done only once.
2. Check the current active partition:
- Boot the router and repeat the steps above to gain root access.
- Type the following command to check the current active image: "cat /proc/cmdline".
- If `rootubi=ubi` it means that the active partition is `mtd6`
- If `rootubi=ubi2` it means that the active partition is `mtd7`
- As mentioned earlier we need to flash openwrt into ubi/mtd6 and never overwrite ubi2/mtd7 to be able to fully roll-back.
- To activate and boot from mtd7 (ubi2) enter into ZHAL> command prompt and type the following commands:
atbt 1 # unlock write
atsw # swap boot partition
atsr # reboot the router
- After rebooting check again with "cat /proc/cmdline" that you are correctly booting from mtd7/ubi2
- If yes proceed with the installation guide. If not probably you don't have a firmware into ubi2 or you did something wrong.
3. Flashing:
- Download the sysupgrade file for the router from openwrt, than we need to add the zyfwinfo file into the sysupgrade tar.
Zloader only checks for the magic (which is a fixed value 'EXYZ') and the crc of the file itself (256bytes).
I created a script to create a valid zyfwinfo file but you can use anything that does exactly the same:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pameruoso/OpenWRT-Zyxel-EX5601-T0/main/gen_zyfwinfo.sh
- Add the zyfwinfo file into the sysupgrade tar.
- Enter via telnet or ssh into the router with admin credentials
- Enter the following commands to disable the firmware and model checks
"zycli fwidcheck off" and "zycli modelcheck off"
- Open the router web interface and in the update firmware page select the "restore default settings option"
- Select the sysupgrade file and click on upload.
- The router will flash and reboot itself into openwrt from UBI
4. Restoring and going back to Zyxel firmware.
- Use the ZHAL> command line to manually swap the boot parition to UBI2 with the following:
atbt 1 # unlock write
atsw # swap boot partition
atsr # reboot the router
- You will boot again the Zyxel firmware you have into UBI2 and you can flash the zyxel firmware to overwrite the UBI partition and openwrt.
Working features
----------------
3 gbit lan ports
Wifi
Zyxel partitioning for coexistance with Zloader and dual boot.
WAN SFP port (only after exporting pins 57 and 10. gpiobase411)
leds
reset button
serial interface
usb port
lan ethernet 2.5 gbit port (autosense)
wan ethernet 2.5 gbit port (autosense)
Not working
----------------
voip (missing drivers or proper zyxel platform software)
Swapping the wan ethernet/sfp xor port
----------------
The way to swap the wan port between sfp and ethernet is the following:
export the pins 57 and 10.
Pin 57 is used to probe if an sfp is present.
If pin 57 value is 0 it means that an sfp is present into the cage (cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio468/value).
If pin 57 value is 1 it means that no sfp is inserted into the cage.
In conclusion by default both 57 an 10 pins are by default 1, which means that the active port is the ethernet one.
After inserting an SFP pin 57 will become 0 and you have to manually change the value of pin 10 to 0 too.
This is totally scriptable of course.
Leds description
------------
All the leds are working out of the box but the leds managed by the 2 maxlinear phy (phy 5 lan, phy6 wan).
To activate the phy5 led (rj45 ethernet port led on the back of the router) you have to use mdio-tools.
To activate the phy6 led (led on the front of the router for 2.5gbit link) you have to use mdio-tools.
Example:
Set lan5 led to fast blink on 2500/1000, slow blink on 10/100:
mdio mdio-bus mmd 5:30 raw 0x0001 0x33FC
Set wan 2.5gbit led to constant on when wan is 2.5gbit:
mdio mdio-bus mmd 6:30 raw 0x0001 0x0080

This variant uses xiaomi factory u-boot and modified u-boot-env &
bootcmd.
By modifying uboot-env, the xiaomi firmware recovery provided in
the vendor u-boot doesn't work anymore. It's possible to put
u-boot into a state where it refuese to take any serial input.
If the u-boot is in this state, users can't restore their
firmware without taking the flash off the board.
We now have a -stock variant where the vendor u-boot is used in
a way that xiaomi firmware recovery still works, and a -ubootmod
variant where we get rid of all xiaomi components, have more
usable space and no uart console lock. These two should cover all
use cases and we don't need this variant anymore.
Drop this redmi-ax6000 variant. Existing users of this variant
should perform a u-boot mod or restore to the -stock layout.

In this implementation, the flash partition layout is adjusted to avoid
modifying the uboot environment of mtdparts. This ensures that the 30M
ubi_kernel partition remains aligned with the stock ubi partition, and
the kernel volume is placed in it. This allows the stock uboot to boot
from it without changing the mtdparts, which is useful for reverting back
to the stock firmware using Xiaomi Firmware Tools. In actual testing,
modifying mtdparts has been found to break Xiaomi Firmware Tools.
1. use ARTIFACTS to generate initramfs-factory.ubi for easy installation.
2. The NAND flash layout is changed to allow for reverting back to the
stock firmware.
3. Before performing sysupgrade, do some cleanup in platform_pre_upgrade
to ensure a clean installation of OpenWRT.
4. Setup the uboot env to ensure that the system always boot, which can
be helpful for users who may forget to do this before sysupgrade in
the initramfs.
New flash instructions:
1. Gain ssh access. Please refer to:
https://openwrt.org/toh/xiaomi/redmi_ax6000#installation)
2. Check which system current u-boot is loading from:
COMMAND: `cat /proc/cmdline`
sample OUTPUT: `console=ttyS0,115200n1 loglevel=8 firmware=1 uart_en=1`
if firmware=1, current system is ubi1
if firmware=0, current system is ubi0
3. Setup nvram and write the firmware:
If the current system is ubi1, please set it up so that the next time
it will boot from ubi, and write the firmware to ubi:
```
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set uart_en=1
nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=0
nvram set flag_last_success=0
nvram set flag_boot_success=1
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=0
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y -f /tmp/initramfs-factory.ubi
```
If the current system is ubi, please set it up so that the next time
it will boot from ubi1, and write the firmware to ubi1:
```
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set uart_en=1
nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=1
nvram set flag_last_success=1
nvram set flag_boot_success=1

nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
ubiformat /dev/mtd9 -y -f /tmp/initramfs-factory.ubi
```
4. After rebooting, the system should now boot into the openwrt initramfs.
Flash the squashfs-sysupgrade.bin via using ssh or luci.
```
sysupgrade -n /tmp/squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
```
Done.

switch to this new layout:
1. Flash initramfs-factory.ubi
```
mtd -r -e ubi write /tmp/initramfs-factory.ubi ubi
