Currently it's not possible to tftpboot initramfs image on archer-c7-v5
as the image contains tplink-v1-header which leads to:
ath> bootm
## Booting image at 81000000 ...
Bad Magic Number
as U-Boot expects uImage wrapped image. This is caused by following
inheritance issue:
define Device/Init
KERNEL_INITRAMFS = $$(KERNEL)
define Device/tplink-v1
KERNEL := kernel-bin | append-dtb | lzma
KERNEL_INITRAMFS := kernel-bin | append-dtb | lzma | tplink-v1-header
define Device/tplink-safeloader
$(Device/tplink-v1)
define Device/tplink-safeloader-uimage
$(Device/tplink-safeloader)
KERNEL := kernel-bin | append-dtb | lzma | uImageArcher lzma
define Device/tplink_archer-c7-v5
$(Device/tplink-safeloader-uimage)
where tplink-v1 defines KERNEL_INITRAMFS with tplink-v1-header and it's
then used by all devices inheriting from tplink-safeloader. Fix this by
overriding KERNEL_INITRAMFS to KERNEL variable again.

can power-cycle the device. Ignore "checksum bad" messages.
Setting the MAC addresses for the ethernet interfaces via
/etc/board.d/02_network adds the following snippets to
/etc/config/network:
config device 'lan_eth0_1_dev'
option name 'eth0.1'
option macaddr 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'
config device 'wan_eth1_2_dev'
option name 'eth1.2'
option macaddr 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'
This would result in the proper MAC addresses being set for the VLAN
subinterfaces, but the parent interfaces would still have a random MAC
address. Using untagged VLANs could solve this, but would still leave
those extra snippets in /etc/config/network, and then the device VLAN
setup would differ from the one used in ar71xx. Therefore, the MAC
addresses of the ethernet interfaces are being set via preinit instead.
The bdcfg partition contains 4 MAC address labels:
- lanmac
- wanmac
- wlanmac
- wlanmac_a
The first 3 all contain the same MAC address, which is also the one on
the label.

This patch adds ar71xx's GPIO setup for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz antennae
demultiplexer:
| 158 /* 2.4 GHz uses the first fixed antenna group (1, 0, 1, 0) */
| 159 ap9x_pci_setup_wmac_gpio(0, (0xf << 6), (0xa << 6));
| 160
| 161 /* 5 GHz uses the second fixed antenna group (0, 1, 1, 0) */
| 162 ap9x_pci_setup_wmac_gpio(1, (0xf << 6), (0x6 << 6));
This should restore the range and throughput of the 2.4GHz radio
on all the derived wndr3700 variants and versions with the AR7161 SoC.
A special case is the 5GHz radio. The original wndr3700(v1) will
benefit from this change. However the wndr3700v2 and later revisions
were unaffected by the missing bits, as there is no demultiplexer
present in the later designs.
This patch uses gpio-hogs within the device-tree for all
wndr3700/wndr3800/wndrmac variants.
Notes:
Based on the PCB pictures, the WNDR3700(v1) really had eight
independent antennae. Four antennae for each radio and all of
those were printed on the circut board.
The WNDR3700v2 and later have just six antennae. Four of those
are printed on the circuit board and serve the 2.4GHz radio.
Whereas the remaining two are special 5GHz Rayspan Patch Antennae
which are directly connected to the 5GHz radio.
Hannu Nyman dug pretty deep and unearthed a treasure of information
regarding the history of how these values came to be in the OpenWrt

This device is nearly identical to RE450 v2 besides a modified flash

least loss of MAC address).

- 7x LED, 4x button-
- possible UART header on PCB¹
Flash instruction:

¹ Didn't check to connect as I didn't even manage to connect on
RE450v2 (AFAIU it requires disconnecting some resistors, which I was
too much of a coward to do). But given the similarities to v2 I
think it's the same or very similar procedure (and most likely also
the only way to debrick).

Flashing instructions:
The original firmware is based on OpenWrt so a sysupgrade image can be

The U-boot bootloader also contains a backup TFTP client to upload the
firmware from. Upon boot, it checks its ethernet network for the IP
192.168.1.10. Host a TFTP server and provide the image to be flashed as
file firmware_auto.bin.
MAC address setup:

0x6 aa:bb:cc:xx:xx:c6
0x1002 aa:bb:cc:xx:xx:c5
0x5006 aa:bb:cc:xx:xx:c7
However, the manufacturer in its infinite wisdom decided that one address
is enough and both eth0 and WiFi get the MAC address from 0x0 (yes, that's
overwriting the existing and valid address in 0x1002). This is obviously
also the address on the device's label.

This commit tries to adjust our local patches so that parsers are
inserted at the "proper" positions with respect to alphabetic sorting
(if possible). Thus, the commit is cosmetic.

Hardware
--------
SoC: Atheros AR9344
RAM: 128M DDR2
FLASH: 2x Macronix MX25L12845EM
2x 16MiB SPI-NOR
WLAN2: Atheros AR9344 2x2 2T2R
WLAN5: Atheros AR9580 2x2 2T2R
SERIAL: Cisco-RJ45 on the back (115200 8n1)
Installation
------------
The U-Boot CLI is password protected (using the same credentials as the
OS). Default is admin/new2day.
1. Download the OpenWrt initramfs-image. Place it into a TFTP server
root directory and rename it to 1401A8C0.img. Configure the TFTP
server to listen at 192.168.1.66/24.
2. Connect the TFTP server to the access point.
3. Connect to the serial console of the access point. Attach power and
interrupt the boot procedure when prompted (bootdelay is 1 second).
4. Configure the U-Boot environment for booting OpenWrt from Ram and
flash:
$ setenv boot_openwrt 'setenv bootargs; bootm 0xbf230000'
$ setenv ramboot_openwrt 'setenv serverip 192.168.1.66;
tftpboot 0x85000000; bootm'
$ setenv bootcmd 'run boot_openwrt'
$ saveenv
5. Load OpenWrt into memory:
$ run ramboot_openwrt
Wait for the image to boot.
6. Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the device. Write the image
to flash using sysupgrade:
$ sysupgrade -n /path/to/openwrt-sysuograde.bin

This ports support for the TL-WA901ND v4 and v5 from ar71xx to ath79.
They are similar to the TP9343-based TL-WR940N v3/v4 and TL-WR941ND v6.
Specifications:
SoC: TP9343
Flash/RAM: 4/32 MiB
CPU: 750 MHz
WiFi: 2.4 GHz b/g/n
Ethernet: 1 port (100M)
Flashing instructions:
Upload the factory image via the vendor firmware upgrade option.
Flash instruction (TFTP):
1. Set PC to fixed ip address 192.168.0.66
2. Download *-factory.bin image and rename it to * (see below)
3. Start a tftp server with the image file in its root directory
4. Turn off the router
5. Press and hold Reset button
6. Turn on router with the reset button pressed and wait ~15 seconds
7. Release the reset button and after a short time
the firmware should be transferred from the tftp server
8. Wait ~30 second to complete recovery.
* The image name for TFTP recovery is wa901ndv4_tp_recovery.bin for
both variants.
In ar71xx, a MAC address with offset 1 was used for ethernet port.
That's probably wrong, but this commit sticks to it until we know
the correct value.
Like in ar71xx, this builds the default factory.bin with EU country
code.
Thanks to Leonardo Weiss for testing on the v5.

Out of all devices currently supported based on AR9331 chipset,
this one had the 'serial0' alias missing. Add it to fix setting of
/dev/console and login shell on the onboard UART.

This commit takes advantages of base-files 220 which introduces routines
to perform caldata loading directly via the kernel sysfs loader helper.
This has the benefits of not wasting flash space to store caldata.
Memory footprint is reduced to the bare minimum: for devices that don't
need MAC patching, the caldata is loaded directly, for devices that do
need MAC patching, the caldata is extracted to /tmp, patched and then
loaded.

With the implementation of a sysfs interface to access WLAN data, this
target no longer needs a special wrapper to extract caldata.

As evidenced here[1] the device MAC address can be stored at a random
offset in the hard_config partition. Rely on sysfs to update the MAC
address correctly.
To match sticker and vendor OS behavior, WAN MAC is set to the device
base MAC and LAN MAC is incremented from that.
Note: this will trigger a harmless kernel message during boot:
ag71xx 19000000.eth: invalid MAC address, using random address
There is no clean workaround to prevent this message from being emitted.

This board was previously supported in ar71xx as 'RUT9XX'. The
difference between that and the other RUT955 board already supported in
ath79 is that instead of the SPI shift registers driving the LEDs and
digital outputs that model got an I2C GPIO expander instead.
To support LEDs during early boot and interrupt-driven digital inputs,
I2C support as well as support for PCA953x has to be built-in and
cannot be kernel modules, hence select those symbols for ath79/generic.
Specification:
- 550/400/200 MHz (CPU/DDR/AHB)
- 128 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 16 MB of FLASH (SPI NOR)
- 4x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, with passive PoE support on LAN1
- 2T2R 2,4 GHz (AR9344)
- built-in 4G/3G module (example: Quectel EC-25EU)
- internal microSD slot (spi-mmc, buggy and disabled for now)
- RS232 on D-Sub9 port (Cypress ACM via USB, /dev/ttyACM0)
- RS422/RS485 (AR934x high speed UART, /dev/ttyATH1)
- analog 0-24V input (MCP3221)
- various digital inputs and outputs incl. a relay
- 11x LED (4 are driven by AR9344, 7 by PCA9539)
- 2x miniSIM slot (can be swapped via GPIO)
- 2x RP-SMA/F (Wi-Fi), 3x SMA/F (2x WWAN, GPS)
- 1x button (reset)
- DC jack for main power input (9-30 V)
- debugging UART available on PCB edge connector
Serial console (/dev/ttyS0) pinout:
- RX: pin1 (square) on top side of the main PCB (AR9344 is on top)
- TX: pin1 (square) on bottom side
Flash instruction:
Vendor firmware is based on OpenWrt CC release. Use the "factory" image
directly in GUI (make sure to uncheck "keep settings") or in U-Boot web
based recovery. To avoid any problems, make sure to first update vendor
firmware to latest version - "factory" image was successfully tested on
device running "RUT9XX_R_00.06.051" firmware and U-Boot "3.0.1".
