Flash instructions:
1) To flash the image, rename the file
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wa801nd-v4-squashfs-factory.bin
to firmware.bin
2) Connect your device to the LAN port, then upload the firmware
through web interface. It will try to download the image and
flash it.
It can take up to 2-3 minutes to finish. When it reaches 100%, the
router will reboot itself.

This commit modifies mtd partitions define for Buffalo BHR-4GRV2 and
move it to generic subtarget.
In Buffalo BHR-4GRV2, "kernel" partition is located behined "rootfs"
partition in the stock firmware. This causes the size of the kernel
to be limited by the fixed value.
0x50000 0xe80000 0xff0000
+-------------------------------+--------------+
| rootfs | kernel |
| (14528k) | (1472k) |
+-------------------------------+--------------+
After ar71xx was updated to Kernel 4.14, the kernel size of BHR-4GRV2
exceeded the limit, and it breaks builds on official buildbot.
Since this issue was also confirmed in ath79, I modified the mtd
partitions to get rid of that limitation.
0x50000 0xff0000
+----------------------------------------------+
| firmware |
| (16000k) |
+----------------------------------------------+
However, this commit breaks compatibility with ar71xx firmware, so I
dropped "SUPPORTED_DEVICES += bhr-4grv2".
This commit requires new flash instruction instead of the old one.
Flash instruction using initramfs image:
1. Connect the computer to the LAN port of BHR-4GRV2
2. Set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.12.10
3. Rename the OpenWrt initramfs image to
"bhr4grv2-uImage-initramfs-gzip.bin" and place it into the TFTP
directory
4. Start the tftp server on the computer
5. While holding down the "ECO" button, connect power cable to
BHR-4GRV2 and turn on it
6. Flashing (orange) diag LED and release the finger from the button,
BHR-4GRV2 downloads the intiramfs image from TFTP server and boot
with it
7. On the initramfs image, create "/etc/fw_env.config" file with
following contents
/dev/mtd1 0x0 0x10000 0x10000
8. Execute following commands to add environment variables for
u-boot
fw_setenv ipaddr 192.168.12.1
fw_setenv serverip 192.168.12.10
fw_setenv ethaddr 00:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee
fw_setenv bootcmd "bootm 0x9f050000 || bootm 0x9fe80000"
9. Perform sysupgrade with squashfs-sysupgrade image
10. Wait ~150 seconds to complete flashing

not QCA9558.

The bump to kernel 4.14 caused a massive increase in kernel size.
For most targets, switching them to dynamic partitioning allowed
to cope with this.
On some targets, the kernel partition is located behind the rootfs,
which disallows switching to dynamic partitioning as the boot location
would be altered, requiring a u-boot change.
Also within the tiny section, which disables kernel symbols etc
to decrease the image size, the partition size is still too small.
Disable these targets for now, fixing image generation:

Specifications:
* SoC: Qualcomm QCA9533 (650MHz)
* RAM: 32MiB
* Storage: 16MiB SPI NOR flash
* Ethernet: 3x100M
* Wireless: QCA9533 built-in, dual-chain 802.11b/g/n
Installation:
1. Setup a DHCP/BOOTP Server with the following parameters:
* DHCP-Option 66 (TFTP server name): pointing to a local TFTP
server within the same subnet of the DHCP range
* DHCP-Option 67 (Bootfile-Name): matching the initramfs filename
of the to be booted image. The usable intramfs files are:
- openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs.elf
- openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs-lzma.elf
- openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-rb-nor-flash-16M-initramfs-kernel.bin
2. Press the reset button on the board and keep that pressed.
3. Connect the board to your local network via its Internet port.
4. Release the button after the LEDs on the board are turned off.
Now the board should load and start the initramfs image from
the TFTP server.
5. Now connect the board via either of its LAN ports (2 or 3).
6. Upload the sysupgrade image to the board with scp:
$ scp openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-rb-nor-flash-16M-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/fw.bin

Rename factory image to recovery.bin
Stock TFTP server IP:192.168.0.100
Stock device TFTP adress:192.168.0.254
Notes:
TP-Link does not use bootstrap registers so without this patch reference
clock detects as 40MHz while it is actually 25MHz.
This is due to messed up bootstrap resistor configuration on the PCB.
Provided GPL code just forces 25MHz reference clock.
That causes booting with completely wrong clocks, for example, CPU tries
to boot at 1040MHz while the stock is 650MHz.
So this PR depends on PR #672 to remove 40MHz reference clock.

Installation:
1. Login to the Mikrotik WebUI to backup your licence key
2. Change the following settings in System->Routerboard->Settings:
- Boot device: try ethernet once then NAND
- Boot protocol: DHCP
- Force Backup Booter: checked
3. Setup a DHCP/BOOTP server with:
- DHCP-Option 66 (TFTP server name) pointing to a local TFTP
server within the same subnet of the DHCP range
- DHCP-Option 67 (Bootfile-Name) matching the initramfs filename
of the to be booted image, e.g.
openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs.elf
4. Power off the device
5. If this is the second attempt to boot OpenWRT or the boot device isn't
"try ethernet once then NAND," press and hold the reset button while
powered off. If this is the first attempt, this step isn't necessary.
6. Power on the device, holding the reset button for 15-20s if already
pressed from the previous step.
The board should load and start the initramfs image from the TFTP
server. Login as root/without password to the started OpenWRT via SSH
listing on IPv4 address 192.168.1.1. Use sysupgrade to install OpenWRT.
Revert to RouterOS
Use the "rbcfg" package on in OpenWRT:
- rbcfg set boot_protocol bootp
- rbcfg set boot_device ethnand
- rbcfg apply
Open Netinstall and reboot routerboard. Now Netinstall sees RouterBOARD
and you can install RouterOS. If NetInstall gets stuck on Sending offer
just wait for it to timeout and then close and open Netinstall again.
Click on install again.
In order for RouterOS to function properly, you need to restore license
for the device. You can do that by including license in NetInstall.

- 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.

We recently increased the kernel partition size of the CPE/WBS 210/510.
This works fine for new installations of the factory image, but on
sysupgrades, the partition table read by the bootloader is not adjusted.
This limits the maximum size of the kernel loaded by the bootloader to the
old partition size.
While adjusting the partition table would be a cleanest solution, such a
migration would have to happen before an upgrade to a new version with a
newer kernel. This is error-prone and would require a two-step upgrade, as
we mark the partition table partition read-only.
Instead, switch from the lzma-loader with embedded kernel to the
okli-loader, so only the tiny lzma-loader is loaded by the bootloader as
"kernel", and the lzma-loader will then load the rest of the kernel by
itself.

By making the kernel argv array const, the .data section can always be
omitted from the laoder binary.

The text section in the ELF loader is aligned to the maximum page size,
which defaults to 64KB. Reduce it to the actual page size to avoid wasting
flash space for this alignment.

Some devices (TP-Link TL-WR1043ND v1) don't boot reliably when the
uncompressed loader is too small. This was workarounded in the loader by
adding 512KB of padding to the .data section of the loader binary.
This approach had two issues:
- The padding was only working when .data was non-empty (otherwise the
section would become NOBITS, omitting it in the binary). .data was only
empty when no CMDLINE was set, leading to further workarounds like
fe594bf90d ("ath79: fix loader-okli, lzma-loader"), and this
workaround was only effective because a missing "const" led to the kernel
argv being stored in .data instead of .rodata
- The padding was not only added to the compressed .gz loader, but also
uncompressed .bin and .elf loaders. The prevented embedding the kernel
cmdline in the loader for non-gz loader types.
To fix both issues, move the creation of the padding from the linker script
to the gzip step.
