The ZTE MF287+ is a LTE router used (exclusively?) by the network operator
"3". The MF287 (i.e. non-plus aka 3Neo) is also supported (the only
difference is the LTE modem)
Specifications
==============
SoC: IPQ4018
RAM: 256MiB
Flash: 8MiB SPI-NOR + 128MiB SPI-NAND
LAN: 4x GBit LAN
LTE: ZTE Cat12 (MF287+) / ZTE Cat6 (MF287)
WiFi: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac SoC-integrated
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 -m14
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/mtd13 0 0
dd if=/tmp/factory.bin of=/dev/mtdblock13 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 14
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.

After migrating to kernel 5.15, upgrading causes the units to become
soft-bricked, hanging forever at the kernel startup.
Kernel size limitation of 4000000 bytes is suspected here, but this is
not fully confirmed.
Disable the images to protect users from inadvertent bricking of units,
because recovery of those is painful with Cisco's U-boot, until the root
cause is found and fixed.

Kernel setting CONFIG_IO_URING supports high-performance I/O for file
access and servers, generally for more performant platforms, and adds
~45 KB to kernel sizes. The need for this on less "beefy" devices is
questionable, as is the size cost considering many platforms have kernel
size limits which require tricky repartitioning if outgrown. The size
cost is also large relative to the ~180 KB bump expected between major
OpenWRT kernel releases.
No OpenWrt packages have hard dependencies on this; samba4 and mariadb
can take advantage if available (+KERNEL_IO_URING:liburing) but
otherwise build and work fine.
Since CONFIG_IO_URING is already managed via the KERNEL_IO_URING setting
in Config-kernel.in (default Y), remove it from those target configs
which unconditionally enable it, and update the defaults to enable it
conditionally only on more powerful 64-bit x86 and arm devices. It may
still be manually enabled as needed for high-performance custom builds.

Since CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is already managed via the KERNEL_DYNAMIC_DEBUG
setting in Config-kernel.in (default N), remove or disable it in target

ipq40xx, ipq806x, filogic, mt7622, qoriq, and sunxi.

The USB port on the MR8300 randomly fails to feed bus-powered devices.
This is caused by a misconfigured pinmux. The GPIO68 should be used to

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.

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

Fix Silicon Labs bindings in the spidev driver
Some bindings for Silicon Labs chips already exists upstream.
These bindings can be found in trivial-devices.yaml.
The existing bindings are using "silabs" instead of "siliconlabs" to
identify the manufacturer.
This commit add two submitted patches for silabs chips and rename the
manufacturer in the different DTS for more coherence.
