This is sold as a dual-band 802.11ac range extender. It has a sliding
switch for Extender mode or Access Point mode, a WPS button, a recessed
Reset button, a hard-power button, and a multitude of LED's, some
multiplexed via an NXP 74AHC164D chip. The internal serial header pinout is
Vcc, Tx, Rx, GND, with GND closest to the corner of the board. You may
connect at 115200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
Specification:
- System-On-Chip: QCA9558
- CPU/Speed: 720 MHz
- Flash-Chip: Winbond 25Q128FVSG
- Flash size: 16 MiB
- RAM: 128 MiB
- Wireless No1: QCA9558 on-chip 2.4GHz 802.11bgn, 3x3

- PHY: Atheros AR8035-A
Installation:
If you can get to the stock firmware's firmware upgrade option, just feed
it the factory.img and boot as usual. As an alternative, TFTP the
factory.img to the bootloader.

--------
SOC: QCA9558
RAM: 128M DDR2
Flash: 16MiB SPI-NOR
ETH: QCA8337N: 2x 10/100/1000 PoE and PoE pass-through
WiFi2: QCA9558 (bgn) 2T2R
WiFi5: 2x mPCIE with AR9582 (an) 2T2R
BTN: 1x Reset
GPIO: multiple GPIO on header, PoE passthrough enable
UART: 3.3V 115200 8N1 header on the board
WDG: ATTiny13 watchdog
JTAG: header on the board
USB: 1x connector and 1x header on the board
PoE: 10-32V input in ETH port 1, passthrough in port 2
mPCIE: 2x populated with radios (but replaceable)
OpenWrt is preinstalled from factory. To install use <your-image>-sysupgade.bin
using the web interface or with sysupgrade -n.
Flash from bootloader (in case failsafe does not work)
1. Connect the LibreRouter with a serial adapter (TTL voltage) to the UART
header in the board.
2. Connect an ETH cable and configure static ip addres 192.168.1.10/24
3. Turn on the device and stop the bootloader sending any key through the serial
interface.
4. Use a TFTP server to serve <your image>-sysupgrade.bin file.
5. Execute the following commands at the bootloader prompt:
ath> tftp 82000000 <your image>-sysupgrade.bin
ath> erase 0x9f050000 +$filesize
ath> cp.b 0x82000000 0x9f050000 $filesize
ath> bootm 0x9f050000

According to https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/1527, support
for the Buffalo BHR-4GRV2 in ath79 requires repartitioning from
an initramfs image, make this easier by supporting uboot-envtools
support out of the box.
Build tested, but not runtime tested.

This commit adds support for the OCEDO Koala
SOC: Qualcomm QCA9558 (Scorpion)
RAM: 128MB
FLASH: 16MiB
WLAN1: QCA9558 2.4 GHz 802.11bgn 3x3
WLAN2: QCA9880 5 GHz 802.11nac 3x3
INPUT: RESET button
LED: Power, LAN, WiFi 2.4, WiFi 5, SYS
Serial: Header Next to Black metal shield
Pinout is 3.3V - GND - TX - RX (Arrow Pad is 3.3V)
The Serial setting is 115200-8-N-1.
Tested and working:
- Ethernet
- 2.4 GHz WiFi
- 5 GHz WiFi
- TFTP boot from ramdisk image
- Installation via ramdisk image
- OpenWRT sysupgrade
- Buttons
- LEDs
Installation seems to be possible only through booting an OpenWRT
ramdisk image.
Hold down the reset button while powering on the device. It will load a
ramdisk image named 'koala-uImage-initramfs-lzma.bin' from 192.168.100.8.
Note: depending on the present software, the device might also try to
pull a file called 'koala-uimage-factory'. Only the name differs, it
is still used as a ramdisk image.
Wait for the ramdisk image to boot. OpenWRT can be written to the flash
via sysupgrade or mtd.
Due to the flip-flop bootloader which we not (yet) support, you need to
set the partition the bootloader is selecting. It is possible from the
initramfs image with
> fw_setenv bootcmd run bootcmd_1
Afterwards you can reboot the device.

This adds uci entries for all ath79 devices for which this already was
the case on ar71xx. Additionally we add the OCEDO Koala as there was no
support in OpenWRT yet.
