The Asus RT-AC65P router is identical with the RT-AC85P, but better to make separate images for it.
On both routers the installation can be done also via SSH:
Note: The user/password for SSH is identical with the one used in the
Web-interface.
1. Complete the initial setup wizard.
2. Activate SSH under "Administration" -> "System".
3. Transfer the OpenWrt factory image via scp:
> scp openwrt-ramips-mt7621-asus_rt-ac65p-squashfs-factory.bin admin@192.168.50.1:/tmp
4. Connect via SSH to the router.
> ssh admin@192.168.50.1
5. Write the OpenWrt image to flash.
> mtd-write -i
/tmp/openwrt-ramips-mt7621-asus_rt-ac65p-squashfs-factory.bin -d linux
6. Reboot the router
> reboot

Partition layout and boot:
Stock Xiaomi firmware has the MTD split into (among others)
- kernel0 (@0x200000)
- kernel1 (@0x600000)
- rootfs0
- rootfs1
- overlay (ubi)
Xiaomi uboot expects to find kernels at 0x200000 & 0x600000
referred to as system 1 & system 2 respectively.
a kernel is considered suitable for handing control over
if its linux magic number exists & uImage CRC are correct.
If either of those conditions fail, a matching sys'n'_fail flag
is set in uboot env & a restart performed in the hope that the
alternate kernel is okay.
If neither kernel checksums ok and both are marked failed, system 2
is booted anyway.
Note uboot's tftp flash install writes the transferred
image to both kernel partitions.
Installation:
Similar to the Xiaomi MIR3G, we keep stock Xiaomi firmware in
kernel0 for ease of recovery, and install OpenWRT into kernel1 and
after.
The installation file for OpenWRT is a *squashfs-factory.bin file that
contains the kernel and a ubi partition. This is flashed as follows:
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=1
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
dd if=factory.bin bs=1M count=4 | mtd write - kernel1
dd if=factory.bin bs=1M skip=4 | mtd write - rootfs0
reboot
Reverting to stock:
The part of stock firmware we've kept in kernel0 allows us to run stock
recovery, which will re-flash stock firmware from a *.bin file on a USB.
For this we do the following:
fw_setenv flag_try_sys1_failed 0
fw_setenv flag_try_sys2_failed 1
reboot
After reboot the LED status light will blink red, at which point pressing
the 'reset' button will cause stock firmware to be installed from USB.
Issues:
OpenWRT currently does not have support for the MT7615 wifi chips. There is
ongoing work to add mt7615 support to the open source mt76 driver. Until that
support is in place, there are closed-source kernel modules that can be used.

Create Factory image
--------------------
As all installation methods require a U-Boot to be integrated into the
Image (and we do not ship one with the image) we are not able to create
an image in the OpenWRT build-process.
Download a TP-Link image from their Wesite and a OpenWRT sysupgrade
image for the device and build yourself a factory image like following:
TP-Link image: tpl.bin
OpenWRT sysupgrade image: owrt.bin
> dd if=tpl.bin of=boot.bin bs=131584 count=1
> cat owrt.bin >> boot.bin
Installing via Web-UI
---------------------
Upload the boot.bin via TP-Links firmware upgrade tool in the
web-interface.
Installing via Recovery
-----------------------
Activate Web-Recovery by beginning the upgrade Process with a
Firmware-Image from TP-Link. After starting the Firmware Upgrade,
wait ~3 seconds (When update status is switching to 0%), then
disconnect the power supply from the device. Upgrade flag (which
activates Web-Recovery) is written before the OS-image is touched and
removed after write is succesfull, so this procedure should be safe.
Plug the power back in. It will come up in Recovery-Mode on 192.168.0.1.
When active, all LEDs but the WPS LED are off.
Remeber to assign yourself a static IP-address as DHCP is not active in
this mode.
The boot.bin can now be uploaded and flashed using the web-recovery.
Installing via TFTP
-------------------
Prepare an image like following (Filenames from factory image steps
apply here)
> dd if=/dev/zero of=tp_recovery.bin bs=196608 count=1
> dd if=tpl.bin of=tmp.bin bs=131584 count=1
> dd if=tmp.bin of=boot.bin bs=512 skip=1
> cat boot.bin >> tp_recovery.bin
> cat owrt.bin >> tp_recovery.bin
Place tp_recovery.bin in root directory of TFTP server and listen on
192.168.0.66/24.
Connect router LAN ports with your computer and power up the router
while pressing the reset button. The router will download the image via
tftp and after ~1 Minute reboot into OpenWRT.
U-Boot CLI
----------
U-Boot CLI can be activated by holding down '4' on bootup.
Dual U-Boot
-----------
This is the first TP-Link MediaTek device to feature a split-uboot
design. The first (factory-uboot) provides recovery via TFTP and HTTP,
jumping straight into the second (firmware-uboot) if no recovery needs
to be performed. The firmware-uboot unpacks and executed the kernel.
Web-Recovery
------------
TP-Link integrated a new Web-Recovery like the one on the Archer C7v4 /
TL-WR1043v5. Stock-firmware sets a flag in the "romfile" partition
before beginning to write and removes it afterwards. If the router boots
with this flag set, bootloader will automatically start Web-recovery and
listens on 192.168.0.1. This way, the vendor-firmware or an OpenWRT
factory image can be written.
By doing the same while performing sysupgrade, we can take advantage of
the Web-recovery in OpenWRT.
It is important to note that Web-Recovery is only based on this flag. It
can't detect e.g. a crashing kernel or other means. Once activated it
won't boot the OS before a recovery action (either via TFTP or HTTP) is
performed. This recovery-mode is indicated by an illuminated WPS-LED on
boot.

Flashing instructions:
A) The U-Boot has HTTP based firmware upgrade
A1) Flashing notes
We've identified so far two different batches of units, unfortunately
each batch has different U-Boot bootloader flashed with different
default environment variables, thus each batch has different IP address
for accessing web based firmware updater.
* First batch has web based bootloader IP address 1.1.1.1
* Second batch has web based bootloader IP address 192.168.1.250
In case you can't connect to either of those IPs, you can try to get
the default IP address via two methods:
A1.1) Serial console, then the IP address is visible during the boot
...
HTTP server is starting at IP: 1.1.1.1
raspi_read: from:40004 len:6
HTTP server is ready!
...
A1.2) Over telnet/SSH using this command:
root@bdcom:/# grep ipaddr= /dev/mtd0
ipaddr=1.1.1.1
A2) Flashing with browser
* Change IP address of PC to 1.1.1.2 with 255.255.255.0 netmask
* Reboot the device and try to reach web based bootloader in the
browser with the following URL http://1.1.1.1
* Quickly select the firmware sysupgrade file and click on the
`Update firmware` button, this all has to be done within 10 seconds,
bootloader doesn't wait any longer
If done correctly, the web page should show UPDATE IN PROGRESS page
with progress indicator. Once the flashing completes (it takes roughly
around 1 minute), the device will reboot to the OpenWrt firmware
A3) Flashing with curl
sudo ip addr add 1.1.1.2/24 dev eth0
curl \
--verbose \
--retry 3 \
--retry-delay 1 \
--retry-max-time 30 \
--connect-timeout 30 \
--form "firmware=@openwrt-ramips-mt7620-BDCOM-WAP2100-SK-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin" \
http://1.1.1.1
Now power on the router.
B) The U-boot is based on Ralink SDK so we can flash the firmware using UART.
1. Configure PC with a static IP address and setup an TFTP server.
2. Put the firmware into the tftp directory.
3. Connect the UART line as described on the PCB (G=GND, R=RX, T=TX)
4. Power up the device and press 2, follow the instruction to set device and
tftp server IP address and input the firmware file name. U-boot will then load
the firmware and write it into the flash.

The wholesale changes introduced in commit f9b8328 missed this DTS file
because it hadn't been merged yet. This patch brings it in line to match
the other mt7620a devices' DTS files.
Additionally, the Internet LED is now labeled correctly and set to unused
by default, since the WAN interface is not known in every configuration.
Using sysupgrade between images before and after this commit will require

- baudrate: 115200 bps (U-Boot, OpenWrt)
Stock firmware:
In the stock firmware, WN-AX1167GR has two os images each composed of
Linux kernel and rootfs.
These images are stored in "Kernel" and "app" partition of the
following partitions, respectively.
(excerpt from dmesg):

The flag for boot partition is stored in "Key" partition, and U-Boot
reads this and determines the partition to boot.
If the image that U-Boot first reads according to the flag is
"Bad Magic Number", U-Boot then tries to boot from the other image.
If the second image is correct, change the flag to the number
corresponding to that image and boot from that image.

To install an OpenWRT image to the device two components must be built:
1. A openwrt initramfs image
2. A openwrt sysupgrade image
===initramfs & sysupgrade image===
Select target devices "Mikrotik RBM11G" in
openwrt menuconfig and build the images. This will create the images
"openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm11g-initramfs-kernel.bin" and
"openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm11g-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin" in the
output directory.
==Installing==
**Make sure to back up your RouterOS license in case you do ever want to
go back to RouterOS using "/system license output" and back up the
created license file.**
When rebooted the board will try booting via ethernet first. If your
board does not boot via ethernet automatically you will have to attach
to the serial port and set ethernet as boot device within RouterBOOT.
1. Set up a dhcp server that points the bootfile to tftp server serving
the "openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm11g-initramfs-kernel.bin"
initramfs image
2. Connect to ethernet port on board
3. Power on the board
4. Wait for OpenWrt to boot
Right now OpenWrt will be running with a SSH server listening. Now
OpenWrt must be flashed to the devices flash:
1. Copy "openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm11g-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin"
to the device using scp.
2. Write openwrt to flash using "sysupgrade
openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm11g-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin"
Once the flashing completes the board will reboot. Disconnect from the
devices ethernet port or stop the DHCP/TFTP server to prevent the device
from booting via ethernet again.
The device should now boot straight to OpenWrt.

Preparing a TFTP recovery image for initial flashing:
Currently the only method to install openwrt for the first time is via
TFTP download in u-boot. After first install you can use regular updates.
WARNING: This method also overwrites the bootloader partition!
Create a TFTP recovery image:
1) Download a stock TP-Link Firmware file here:
https://www.tp-link.com/en/download/Archer-C2_V1.html#Firmware
2) Extract u-boot from the binary file:
#> dd if=c2v1_stock_firmware.bin of=c2v1_uboot.bin bs=1 skip=512 count=131072
3) Now merge the sysupgrade image and the u-boot into one binary:
#> cat c2v1_uboot.bin openwrt-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin > ArcherC2V1_tp_recovery.bin
The resulting image can be flashed via TFTP recovery mode.
Flash instructions:
1) To flash the recovery image, start a TFTP server from IP address
192.168.0.66 and serve the recovery image named
ArcherC2V1_tp_recovery.bin.
2) Connect your device to the LAN port, then press the WPS/Reset button

This commit adds support for the Mikrotik RouterBOARD RBM33g.
=Hardware=
The RBM33g is a mt7621 based device featuring three gigabit ports, 2
miniPCIe slots with sim card sockets, 1 M.2 slot, 1 USB 3.0 port and a male
onboard RS-232 serial port. Additionally there are a lot of accessible
GPIO ports and additional buses like i2c, mdio, spi and uart.
==Switch==
The three Ethernet ports are all connected to the internal switch of the
mt7621 SoC:
port 0: Ethernet Port next to barrel jack with PoE printed on it
port 1: Innermost Ethernet Port on opposite side of RS-232 port
port 2: Outermost Ethernet Port on opposite side of RS-232 port
port 6: CPU
==Flash==
The device has two spi flash chips. The first flash chips is rather small
(512 kB), connected to CS0 by default and contains only the RouterBOOT
bootloader and some factory information (e.g. mac address).
The second chip has a size of 16 MB, is by default connected to CS1 and
contains the firmware image.
==PCIe==
The board features three PCIe-enabled slots. Two of them are miniPCIe
slots (PCIe0, PCIe1) and one is a M.2 (Key M) slot (PCIe2).
Each of the miniPCIe slots is connected to a dedicated mini SIM socket
on the back of the board.
Power to all three PCIe-enabled slots is controlled via GPIOs on the
mt7621 SoC:
PCIe0: GPIO9
PCIe1: GPIO10
PCIe2: GPIO11
==USB==
The board has one external USB 3.0 port at the rear. Additionally PCIe
port 0 has a permanently enabled USB interface. PCIe slot 1 shares its
USB interface with the rear USB port. Thus only either the rear USB port
or the USB interface of PCIe slot 1 can be active at the same time. The
jumper next to the rear USB port controls which one is active:
open: USB on PCIe 1 is active
closed: USB on rear USB port is active
==Power==
The board can accept both, passive PoE and external power via a 2.1 mm
barrel jack. The input voltage range is 11-32 V.
=Installation=
==Prerequisites==
A USB -> RS-232 Adapter and a null modem cable are required for
installation.
To install an OpenWRT image to the device two components must be built:
1. A openwrt initramfs image
2. A openwrt sysupgrade image
===initramfs & sysupgrade image===
Select target devices "Mikrotik RBM33G" in

"openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm33g-initramfs-kernel.bin" and
"openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm33g-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin" in the output
directory.
==Installing==
**Make sure to back up your RouterOS license in case you do ever want to
go back to RouterOS using "/system license output" and back up the created
license file.**
Serial settings: 115200 8N1
The installation is a two-step process. First the
"openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm33g-initramfs-kernel.bin" must be booted
via tftp:
1. Set up a dhcp server that points the bootfile to tftp server serving
the "openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm33g-initramfs-kernel.bin"
initramfs image
2. Connect to WAN port (left side, next to sys-LED and power indicator)
3. Connect to serial port of board
4. Power on board and enter RouterBOOT setup menu
5. Set boot device to "boot over ethernet"
6. Set boot protocol to "dhcp protocol" (can be omitted if DHCP server
allows dynamic bootp)
6. Save config
7. Wait for board to boot via Ethernet
On the serial port you should now be presented with the OpenWRT boot log.
The next steps will install OpenWRT persistently.
1. Copy "openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm33g-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin" to the device
using scp.
2. Write openwrt to flash using "sysupgrade
openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm33g-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin"
Once the flashing completes reboot the router and let it boot from flash.
It should boot straight to OpenWRT.
