The EnGenius EAP1300 and EAP1300EXT use identical boards and firmware
(as flashed) from the vendor.
As with the EAP1300, the EAP1300EXT requires a specific firmware version
to flash OpenWRT. Unfortunately, the required firmware is truncated on
the vendor's website.
A working file can be created as follows:
```
curl \
https://www.engeniustech.com/wp_firmware/eap1300-all-v3.5.3.5_c1.9.04.bin \
| perl -pe 's/\x09EAP1300_A/\x0cEAP1300EXT_A/' \
> eap1300ext-all-v3.5.3.5_c1.9.04.bin
```
The file should have sha256:
`58a1197a426139a12b03fd432334e677124cbe3384349bd7337f2ee71f1dcfd4`.
Please see commit 2b4ac79 for further
details.
The vendor firmware must be decrypted before it can be flashed from
OpenWRT. A tool able to do that is available from:

All NETGEAR EX6150v2 validate the rootfs for which OpenWrt places a
fakeheader at the position, where the bootloader expects it.
Some EX6150v2 bootloaders do however make a broken assumption about
where the rootfs starts. This is due to them calculating the rootfs
start not based upon the kernel-length but the string-offset of the
FIT-image.
We have to be compatible with both this broken as well as the valid
calculation. So we do relocate the FDT string section to a
block-boundary and enlarge the FIT image to end at this boundary +
BLOCKSIZE / 2. This way, both the broken as well as correct calculations
do expect the rootfs-header at the same position.
It is worth noting, that this is a rare edge-case in which only happens
if the image-length as well as the start of the string-section are not
placed in the same erase-block. This is an edge-case which happens very
rarely (thus it was not spotted prior).

Like with some other ipq40xx devices, the kernel image size for the WPJ428
is limited in stock u-boot. For that reason, the current release doesn't
include an image for the board.
By switching to the zImage format, the kernel image size is reduced which
re-enables the build process. The image boots and behaved normally through
a few days of testing.
Before the switch to kernel version 6.1, it was possible to reduce the
image size by enough when disabling UBIFS and its otherwise unneeded
dependencies.

The ZTE MF287 Pro is a LTE router used (exclusively?) by the network
operator "3". It is very similar to the MF287+, but the hardware layout
and partition layout have changed quite a bit.
Specifications
==============
SoC: IPQ4018
RAM: 256MiB
Flash: 8MiB SPI-NOR + 128MiB SPI-NAND
LAN: 4x GBit LAN
LTE: ZTE Cat12
WiFi: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac SoC-integrated
USB: 1x 2.0
MAC addresses
=============
LAN: from config + 2
WiFi 1: from config
WiFi 2: from config + 1
Installation
============
Option 1 - TFTP
---------------
TFTP installation using UART is preferred. Disassemble the device and
connect serial. Put the initramfs image as openwrt.bin to your TFTP server
and configure a static IP of 192.168.1.100. Load the initramfs image by
typing:
setenv serverip 192.168.1.100
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
tftpboot 0x82000000 openwrt.bin
bootm 0x82000000
From this intiramfs boot you can take a backup of the currently installed
partitions as no vendor firmware is available for download:
ubiattach -m17
cat /dev/ubi0_0 > /tmp/ubi0_0
cat /dev/ubi0_1 > /tmp/ubi0_1
Copy the files /tmp/ubi0_0 and /tmp/ubi0_1 somewhere save.
Once booted, transfer the sysupgrade image and run sysupgrade. You might
have to delete the stock volumes first:
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
Option 2 - From stock firmware
------------------------------
The installation from stock requires an exploit first. The exploit consists
of a backup file that forces the firmware to download telnetd via TFTP from
192.168.0.22 and run it. Once exploited, you can connect via telnet and
login as admin:admin.
The exploit will be available at the device wiki page.
Once inside the stock firmware, you can transfer the -factory.bin file to
/tmp by using "scp" from the stock frmware or "tftp".
ZTE has blocked writing to the NAND. Fortunately, it's easy to allow write
access - you need to read from one file in /proc. Once done, you need to
erase the UBI partition and flash OpenWrt. Before performing the operation,
make sure that mtd13 is the partition labelled "rootfs" by calling
"cat /proc/mtd".
Complete commands:
cd /tmp
tftp -g -r factory.bin 192.168.0.22
cat /proc/driver/sensor_id
flash_erase /dev/mtd17 0 0
dd if=/tmp/factory.bin of=/dev/mtdblock17 bs=131072
Afterwards, reboot your device and you should have a working OpenWrt
installation.
Restore Stock
=============
Option 1 - via UART
-------------------
Boot an OpenWrt initramfs image via TFTP as for the initial installation.
Transfer the two backed-up files to your box to /tmp.
Then, run the following commands - replace $kernel_length and $rootfs_size
by the size of ubi0_0 and ubi0_1 in bytes.
ubiattach -m 17
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs_data
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel -s $kernel_length
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs -s $rootfs_size
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_0 /tmp/ubi0_0
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_1 /tmp/ubi0_1
Option 2 - from within OpenWrt
------------------------------
This option requires to flash an initramfs version first so that access
to the flash is possible. This can be achieved by sysupgrading to the
recovery.bin version and rebooting. Once rebooted, you are again in a
default OpenWrt installation, but no partition is mounted.
Follow the commands from Option 1 to flash back to stock.
LTE Modem
=========
The LTE modem is similar to other ZTE devices and controls some more LEDs
and battery management.
Configuring the connection using uqmi works properly, the modem
provides three serial ports and a QMI CDC ethernet interface.
Other Notes
===========
Contrary to the stock firmware, the USB port on the back can be used.
There is one GPIO Switch "Power button blocker" which, if enabled, does not
trigger a reset of the SoC if the modem reboots. If disabled, the SoC is
rebooted along with the modem. The modem can be rebooted via the exported
GPIO "modem-reset" in /sys/class/gpio.

It seems that the Meraki bootloader does not respect the kernel ARM booting
specification[1] that requires that address where DTB is located needs to
be 64-bit aligned and often places the DTB on a non 64-bit aligned address
and then kernel fails to find the DTB magic and fails to boot.
Even worse, there is no prints until early printk is enabled and then its
visible that kernel is trying to find the ATAG-s as DTB was not found or
is invalid.
Unifi 6 devices had the same issue and it can be solved by passing the
load adress as part of the FIT image.
It seems that the vendor was aware of the issue and is always relocating
the DTB to 0x89000000, so lets just do the same.
Now that booting is reliable, reenable default images for the Meraki MR33
and MR74 devices.

The upstream board-2.bin file in the linux-firmware.git
repository for the QCA4019 contains a packed board-2.bin
for this device for both 2.4G and 5G wifis. This isn't
something that the ath10k driver supports.
Until this feature either gets implemented - which is
very unlikely -, or the upstream boardfile is mended
(both, the original submitter and ath10k-firmware
custodian have been notified). OpenWrt will go back
and use its own bespoke boardfile. This unfortunately
means that 2.4G and on some revisions the 5G WiFi is
not available in the initramfs image for this device.

The squash-factory image can be installed via the Linksys Web UI:
1. Open "http://192.168.1.1/ca" (Change the IP with the IP of your device).
2. Login with your admin password.
3. To enter into the support mode, click on the "CA" link and the bottom of the page.
4. Open the "Connectivity" menu and upload the squash-factory image with the "Choose file" button.
5. Click start. Ignore all the prompts and warnings by click "yes" in all the popups.
The device uses a dual partition mechanism. The device automatically revert to the previous partition after 3 failed boot attempts.
If you want to force the previous firmware to load, you can turn off and then turn on the device for 2 seconds, 3 times in a row.
It can also be done via TFTP:
1. Setup a local TFTP server and configure its IP to 192.168.1.100.
2. Rename your image to "nodes_v2.img" and put it to the TFTP root of your server.
3. Connect to the device through the serial console.
4. Power on device and press enter when prompted to drop into U-Boot.
5. Flash the partition of your choice by typing "run flashimg" or "run flashimg2".
6. Once flashed, enter "reset" to reboot the device.

VCC (3.3V). Do not use unless you need to source power for the converer from it.
TX
RX
GND
Default port configuration in U-boot as well as in stock firmware is 115200-8-N-1.
2.Place OpenWrt initramfs image for the device on a TFTP in the server's root. This example uses Server IP: 192.168.0.2
3.Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port (WAN/LAN1).
4.Power on MF18A , stop in u-Boot (using ESC button) and run u-Boot commands:
setenv serverip 192.168.0.2
setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.1
set fdt_high 0x85000000
tftpboot 0x84000000 openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-zte_mf18a-initramfs-fit-zImage.itb
bootm 0x84000000
5.Please make backup of original partitions, if you think about revert to stock, specially mtd8 (Web UI) and mtd9 (rootFS). Use /tmp as temporary storage and do:
WEB PARITION
cat /dev/mtd8 > /tmp/mtd8.bin
scp /tmp/mtd8.bin root@YOURSERVERIP:/
rm /tmp/mtd8.bin
ROOT PARITION
cat /dev/mtd9 > /tmp/mtd9.bin
scp /tmp/mtd9.bin root@YOURSERVERIP:/
rm /tmp/mtd9.bin
If you are sure ,that you want to flash openwrt, from uBoot, before bootm, clean rootfs partition with command:
nand erase 0x1800000 0x1D00000
6.Login via ssh or serial and remove stock partitions (default IP 192.168.1.1):
ubiattach -m 9 # it could return error if ubi was attached before or rootfs part was erased before
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs # it could return error if rootfs part was erased before
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs_data # some devices doesn't have it
7. Install image via :
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-zte_mf18a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
previously wgeting bin. Sometimes it could print ubi attach error, but please ignore it if process goes forward.
Back to Stock (!!! need original dump taken from initramfs !!!) -------------
Place mtd8.bin and mtd9.bin initramfs image for the device on a TFTP in the server's root. This example uses Server IP: 192.168.0.2
Connect serial console (115200,8n1) to serial console connector .
Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port (WAN/LAN1).
rename mtd8.bin to web.img and mtd9.bin to root_uImage_s
Stop in u-Boot (using ESC button) and run u-Boot commands:
This will erase Web and RootFS:
nand erase 0x1000000 0x800000
nand erase 0x1800000 0x1D00000
This will restore RootFS:
tftpboot 0x84000000 root_uImage_s
nand erase 0x1800000 0x1D00000
nand write 0x84000000 0x1800000 0x1D00000
This will restore Web Interface:
tftpboot 0x84000000 web.img
nand erase 0x1000000 0x800000
nand write 0x84000000 0x1000000 0x800000
After first boot on stock firwmare, do a factory reset. Push reset button for 5 seconds so all parameters will be reverted to the one printed on label on bottom of the router

Update the board name defined in DTS to match online documentation and the
name encoded into factory firmware. This helps supports flashing firmware
factory images using 'sysupgrade'.
Original WHW01 device definition assumes the rootfs IMAGE_SIZE is 33 MB
instead of the correct 74 MB, and defines factory images which include
extra adjustments/padding that do not match OEM factory images and may
cause problems flashing. Update image size and build recipe to fix these.
Suggested-by: Wyatt Martin <wawowl@gmail.com>
Signed-off-by: Tony Ambardar <itugrok@yahoo.com>
Raise the kernel size from 3 MB to 5 MB for EA6350v3, EA8300 and MR8300,
and correspondingly reduce the rootfs size by 2 MB:
* modify partition definitions in related .dts files
* modify device kernel/image sizes in generic.mk
Update to compat-version 2.0 to force factory image usage on sysupgrade,
noting the current version 1.1 is an unreleased update for DSA migration.
Also update the compat-version message, explaining the need to run one of
the following console commands to update U-Boot's kernel-size variable
before flashing the OpenWrt factory image.
fw_setenv kernsize 500000 # (OpenWrt command line)
setenv kernsize 500000 ; saveenv # (U-Boot serial console)
Finally, re-enable the 3 devices.

The type of those images is already distinguishable by the '.itb'
extension, there is no need for an additional '-fit' string in the
filenames. Remove it to behave more like other targets.
Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org>
Only on the ipq40xx subtarget different filenames were used for NAND-
based devices. This is unneeded, confusing and breaks downstream tools
such as luci-app-attendedsysupgrade and auc.
Remove the 'nand-' string from image filenames to fix that.
