to perform firmware update
4. On the initramfs image, download the sysupgrade.bin image to the
device and perform sysupgrade with it
5. Wait ~120 seconds to complete flashing
Notes:
- The hardware of WN-DX2033GR and WN-AX2033GR are almost the same, and
it is certified under the same radio-wave related regulations in Japan
- The last 0x80000 (512 KiB) in NAND flash is not used on stock firmware
- stock firmware requires "customized uImage header" (called as "combo
image") by MSTC (MitraStar Technology Corp.), but U-Boot doesn't
- uImage magic ( 0x0 - 0x3 ) : 0x434F4D42 ("COMB")

- data crc32 (0x3c - 0x3f) : kernel + rootfs
- There are 2x important flags in the flash:
- bootnum : select os partition for booting (persist, 0x4)
- 0x01: firmware
- 0x02: firmware_2
- debugflag : allow interrupt kernel loader, it's named as "Z-LOADER"
(Factory, 0xFE75)
- 0x00: disable debug
- 0x01: enable debug

x4:xx:xx:6a:xx:xx x6:xx:xx:4a:xx:xx -0x20
Since increment is inconsistent and there is no obvious pattern
in swapping bytes, and the 2.4g address has local bit set anyway,
it seems safer to use the LAN address with flipped byte here in
order to prevent collisions between OpenWrt devices and OEM devices
for this interface. This way we at least use an address as base
that is definitely owned by the device at hand.
Flashing instruction:
The Dlink "Emergency Room" cannot be accessed through the reset
button on this device. You can either use console or use the
encrypted factory image availble in the openwrt forum.
Once the encrypted image is flashed throuh the stock Dlink web
interface, the sysupgrade images can be used.
Header pins needs to be soldered near the WPS and Wifi buttons.
The layout for the pins is (VCC,RX,TX,GND). No need to connect the VCC.
the settings are:
Bps/Par/Bits : 57600 8N1
Hardware Flow Control : No
Software Flow Control : No
Connect your client computer to LAN1 of the device
Set your client IP address manually to 192.168.0.101 / 255.255.255.0.
Call the recovery page or tftp for the device at http://192.168.0.1
Use the provided emergency web GUI to upload and flash a new firmware to
the device
At the time of adding support the wireless config needs to be set up by
editing the wireless config file:
* Setting the country code is mandatory, otherwise the router loses
connectivity at the next reboot. This is mandatory and can be done
from luci. After setting the country code the router boots correctly.
A reset with the reset button will fix the issue and the user has to
reconfigure.
* This is minor since the 5g interface does not come up online although
it is not set as disabled. 2 options here:
1- Either run the "wifi" command. Can be added from LUCI in system -
startup - local startup and just add wifi above "exit 0".
2- Or add the serialize option in the wireless config file as shown
below. This one would work and bring both interfaces automatically
at every boot:
config wifi-device 'radio0'
option serialize '1'
config wifi-device 'radio1'
option serialize '1'

This might fail due to the A/B nature of this device. When flashing, OEM
firmware writes over the non-booted partition. If booted from 'A',
flashing over 'B' won't work. To get around this, you should flash the
OEM image over itself. This will then boot the router from 'B' and

MAC address assignment
----------------------
LAN MAC is read from the config partition, WiFi 2.4GHz is LAN+2 and matches
the OEM firmware. WiFi 5GHz with LAN+1 is an educated guess since the
OEM firmware does not enable 5GHz WiFi.
Installation
------------
Attach serial console, then boot the initramfs image via TFTP.
Once inside OpenWrt, run sysupgrade -n with the sysupgrade file.
Attention: The device has a dual-firmware design. We overwrite kernel2,
since kernel1 contains an automatic recovery image.

J1: pin1 (square pad, towards rear)=3.3V, pin2=RX,
pin3=GND, pin4=TX. Settings: 57600/8N1.
Note regarding dual system partitions
-------------------------------------
The vendor firmware and boot loader use a dual partition scheme. The boot
partition is decided by the bootImage U-boot environment variable: 0 for
the 1st partition, 1 for the 2nd.
OpenWrt does not support this scheme and will always use the first OS
partition. It will set bootImage to 0 during installation, making sure
the first partition is selected by the boot loader.
Also, because we can't be sure which partition is active to begin with, a
2-step flash process is used. We first flash an initramfs image, then
follow with a regular sysupgrade.
Installation:
Router (ALLY-R1900K)
1) Install the flashable initramfs image via the OEM web-interface.
(Alternatively, you can use the TFTP recovery method below.)
You can use WiFi or Ethernet.
The direct URL is: http://192.168.3.1/07_06_00_firmware.html
a. No login is needed, and you'll be in their setup wizard.
b. You might get a warning about not being connected to the Internet.
c. Towards the bottom of the page will be a section entitled "Or
Manually Upgrade Firmware from a File:" where you can manually choose
and upload a firmware file.
d: Click "Choose File", select the OpenWRT "initramfs" image and click
"Upload."
2) The Router will flash the OpenWrt initramfs image and reboot. After
booting, LuCI will be available on 192.168.1.1.
3) Log into LuCI as root; there is no password.
4) Optional (but recommended) is to backup the OEM firmware before
continuing; see process below.
5) Complete the Installation by flashing a full OpenWRT image. Note:
you may use the sysupgrade command line tool in lieu of the UI if
you prefer.
a. Choose System -> Backup/Flash Firmware.
b. Click "Flash Image..." under "Flash new firmware image"
c. Click "Browse..." and then select the sysupgrade file.
d. Click Upload to upload the sysupgrade file.
e. Important: uncheck "Keep settings and retain the current
configuration" for this initial installation.
f. Click "Continue" to flash the firmware.
g. The device will reboot and OpenWRT is installed.
Extender (ALLY-00X19K)
1) This device requires a TFTP recovery procedure to do an initial load
of OpenWRT. Start by configuring a computer as a TFTP client:
a. Install a TFTP client (server not necessary)
b. Configure an Ethernet interface to 192.168.1.x/24; don't use .1 or .6
c. Connect the Ethernet to the sole Ethernet port on the X19K.
2) Put the ALLY Extender in TFTP recovery mode.
a. Do this by pressing and holding the reset button on the bottom while
connecting the power.
b. As soon as the LED lights up green (roughly 2-3 seconds), release
the button.
3) Start the TFTP transfer of the Initramfs image from your setup machine.
For example, from Linux:
tftp -v -m binary 192.168.1.6 69 -c put initramfs.bin
4) The Extender will flash the OpenWrt initramfs image and reboot. After
booting, LuCI will be available on 192.168.1.1.
5) Log into LuCI as root; there is no password.
6) Optional (but recommended) is to backup the OEM firmware before
continuing; see process below.
7) Complete the Installation by flashing a full OpenWRT image. Note: you
may use the sysupgrade command line tool in lieu of the UI if you prefer.
a. Choose System -> Backup/Flash Firmware.
b. Click "Flash Image..." under "Flash new firmware image"
c. Click "Browse..." and then select the sysupgrade file.
d. Click Upload to upload the sysupgrade file.
e. Important: uncheck "Keep settings and retain the current
configuration" for this initial installation.
f. Click "Continue" to flash the firmware.
g. The device will reboot and OpenWRT is installed.
Backup the OEM Firmware:
-----------------------
There isn't any downloadable firmware for the ALLY devices on the Amped
Wireless web site. Reverting back to the OEM firmware is not possible
unless we have a backup of the original OEM firmware.
The OEM firmware may be stored on either /dev/mtd3 ("firmware") or
/dev/mtd6 ("oem"). We can't be sure which was overwritten with the
initramfs image, so backup both partitions to be safe.
1) Once logged into LuCI, navigate to System -> Backup/Flash Firmware.
2) Under "Save mtdblock contents," first select "firmware" and click
"Save mtdblock" to download the image.
3) Repeat the process, but select "oem" from the pull-down menu.
Revert to the OEM Firmware:
--------------------------
* U-boot TFTP:
Follow the TFTP recovery steps for the Extender, and use the
backup image.
* OpenWrt "Flash Firmware" interface:
Upload the backup image and select "Force update"
before continuing.

WARNING!!
ISP managed firmware might at any time update itself to a version
where all known workarounds have been disabled. Never boot an ISP
managed firmware with a SIM in any of the slots if you intend to use
the router with OpenWrt. The bootloader lock can only be disabled with
root access to running firmware. The flash chip is physically
inaccessible without soldering.
Installation from OEM web GUI:
- Log in as "supervisor" on https://172.17.1.1/
- Upload OpenWrt initramfs-recovery.bin image on the
Maintenance -> Firmware page
- Wait for OpenWrt to boot and ssh to root@192.168.1.1
- (optional) Copy OpenWrt to the recovery partition. See below
- Sysupgrade to the OpenWrt sysupgrade image and reboot
Installation from OEM ssh:
- Log in as "root" on 172.17.1.1 port 22022
- scp OpenWrt initramfs-recovery.bin image to 172.17.1.1:/tmp
- Prepare bootloader config by running:
nvram setro uboot DebugFlag 0x1
nvram setro uboot CheckBypass 0
nvram commit
- Run "mtd_write -w write initramfs-recovery.bin Kernel" and reboot
- Wait for OpenWrt to boot and ssh to root@192.168.1.1
- (optional) Copy OpenWrt to the recovery partition. See below
- Sysupgrade to the OpenWrt sysupgrade image and reboot
Copying OpenWrt to the recovery partition:
- Verify that you are running a working OpenWrt recovery image
from flash
- ssh to root@192.168.1.1 and run:
fw_setenv CheckBypass 0
mtd -r erase Kernel2
- Wait while the bootloader mirrors Image1 to Image2
NOTE: This should only be done after successfully booting the OpenWrt
recovery image from the primary partition during installation. Do
not do this after having sysupgraded OpenWrt! Reinstalling the
recovery image on normal upgrades is not required or recommended.
Installation from Z-Loader:
- Halt boot by pressing Escape on console
- Set up a tftp server to serve the OpenWrt initramfs-recovery.bin
image at 10.10.10.3
- Type "ATNR 1,initramfs-recovery.bin" at the "ZLB>" prompt
- Wait for OpenWrt to boot and ssh to root@192.168.1.1
- Sysupgrade to the OpenWrt sysupgrade image
NOTE: ATNR will write the recovery image to both primary and recovery
partitions in one go.
Booting from RAM:
- Halt boot by pressing Escape on console
- Type "ATGU" at the "ZLB>" prompt to enter the U-Boot menu
- Press "4" to select "4: Entr boot command line interface."
- Set up a tftp server to serve the OpenWrt initramfs-recovery.bin
image at 10.10.10.3
- Load it using "tftpboot 0x88000000 initramfs-recovery.bin"
- Boot with "bootm 0x8800017C" to skip the 380 (0x17C) bytes ZyXEL
header
This method can also be used to RAM boot OEM firmware. The warning
regarding OEM applies! Never boot an unknown OEM firmware, or any OEM
firmware with a SIM in any slot.
NOTE: U-Boot configuration is incomplete (on some devices?). You may
have to configure a working mac address before running tftp using
"setenv eth0addr <mac>"
Unlocking the bootloader:
If you are unebale to halt boot, then the bootloader is locked.
The OEM firmware locks the bootloader on every boot by setting
DebugFlag to 0. Setting it to 1 is therefore only temporary
when OEM firmware is installed.
- Run "nvram setro uboot DebugFlag 0x1; nvram commit" in OEM firmware
- Run "fw_setenv DebugFlag 0x1" in OpenWrt
NOTE:
OpenWrt does this automatically on first boot if necessary
NOTE2:
Setting the flag to 0x1 avoids the reset to 0 in known OEM
versions, but this might change.
WARNING:
Writing anything to flash while the bootloader is locked is
considered extremely risky. Errors might cause a permanent
brick!
Enabling management access from LAN:
Temporary workaround to allow installing OpenWrt if OEM firmware
has disabled LAN management:
- Connect to console
- Log in as "root"
- Run "iptables -I INPUT -i br0 -j ACCEPT"
Notes on the OEM/bootloader dual partition scheme
The dual partition scheme on this device uses Image2 as a recovery
image only. The device will always boot from Image1, but the
bootloader might copy Image2 to Image1 under specific conditions. This
scheme prevents repurposing of the space occupied by Image2 in any
useful way.
Validation of primary and recovery images is controlled by the
variables CheckBypass, Image1Stable, and Image1Try.
The bootloader sets CheckBypass to 0 and reboots if Image1 fails
validation.
If CheckBypass is 0 and Image1 is invalid then Image2 is copied to
Image1.
If CheckBypass is 0 and Image2 is invalid, then Image1 is copied to
Image2.
If CheckBypass is 1 then all tests are skipped and Image1 is booted
unconditionally. CheckBypass is set to 1 after each successful
validation of Image1.
Image1Try is incremented if Image1Stable is 0, and Image2 is copied to
Image1 if Image1Try is 3 or larger. But the bootloader only tests
Image1Try if CheckBypass is 0, which is impossible unless the booted
image sets it to 0 before failing.
The system is therefore not resilient against runtime errors like
failure to mount the rootfs, unless the kernel image sets CheckBypass
to 0 before failing. This is not yet implemented in OpenWrt.
Setting Image1Stable to 1 prevents the bootloader from updating
Image1Try on every boot, saving unnecessary writes to the environment
partition.
Keeping an OpenWrt initramfs recovery as Image2 is recommended
primarily to avoid unwanted OEM firmware boots on failure. Ref the
warning above. It enables console-less recovery in case of some
failures to boot from Image1.

Commit "initramfs: switch to tmpfs to fix ujail" switched initramfs to
now use tmpfs, it causes $(rootfs_type) to now return tmpfs when
running initramfs image instead of being empty.
This broke initramfs detection which is required so that when installing
on MikroTik devices firmware partition would first get erased fully
before writing.
So, lets test for $(rootfs_type) returning "tmpfs" instead.

This patch adds support for the MikroTik RouterBOARD 760iGS router.
It is similar to the already supported RouterBOARD 750Gr3.
The 760iGS device features an added SFP cage, and passive
PoE out on port 5 compared to the RB750Gr3.
https://mikrotik.com/product/hex_s
Specifications:
- SoC: MediaTek MT7621A
- CPU: 880MHz
- Flash: 16 MB
- RAM: 256 MB
- Ethernet: 5x 10/100/1000 Mbps
- SFP cage
- USB port
- microSD slot
Unsupported:
- Beeper (requires PWM driver)
- ZT2046Q (ADS7846 compatible) on SPI as slave 1 (CS1)
The linux driver requires an interrupt, and pendown GPIO
These are unknown, and not needed with the touchscreen
only used for temperature and voltage monitoring.
ads7846 hwmon:
temp0 is degrees Celsius
temp1 is voltage * 32
GPIOs:
- 07: input passive PoE out (lan5) compatible (Mikrotik) device connected
- 17: output passive PoE out (lan5) switch
Installation through RouterBoot follows the usual MikroTik method
https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/common
To boot to intramfs image in RAM:
1. Setup TFTP server to serve intramfs image.
2. Plug Ethernet cable into WAN port.
3. Unplug power, hold reset button and plug power in.
Wait (~25 seconds) for beep and then release reset button.
The SFP LED will be lit in RouterBoot, but will not be lit in OpenWRT.
4. Wait for a minute. Router should be running OpenWrt,
check by plugging in to port 2-5 and going to 192.168.1.1.
To install OpenWrt to flash:
1. Follow steps above to boot intramfs image in RAM.
2. Flash the sysupgrade.bin image with web interface or sysupgrade.
3. Once the router reboots you will be running OpenWrt from flash.
OEM firmware differences:
- RouterOS assigns a different MAC address for each port
- The first address (E01 on the sticker) is used for wan (ether1 in OEM).
- The next address is used for lan2.
- The last address (E06 on the sticker) is used for sfp.

Hardware
--------
SoC: MediaTek MT7621ST
WiFi: MediaTek MT7603
Quantenna QT3840BC
Flash: 128M NAND
RAM: 64M
LED: Dual colour red and green
BTN: Reset
WPS
Eth: 4 x 10/100/1000 connected to MT7621 internal switch
MT7621 RGMII port connected to Quantenna module
GPIO: Power/reset of Quantenna module
Quantenna module
----------------
The Quantenna QT3840BC (or QV840) is a separate SoC running
another Linux installation. It is mounted on a wide mini-PCIe
form factor module, but is connected to the RGMII port of
the MT7621. It loads both a second uboot stage and an os
image from the MT7621 using tftp. The module is configured
using Quantenna specific RPC calls over IP, using 802.1q
over the RGMII link to support multiple SSIDs.
There is no support for using this module as a WiFi device
in OpenWrt. A package with basic firmware and management
tools is being prepared.
Serial ports
------------
Two serial ports with headers:
RRJ1 - 115200 8N1 - Connected to the Quantenna console
J1 - 57600 8N1 - Connected to the MT7621 console
Both share pinout with many other Zyxel/Mitrastar devices:
1 - NC (VDD)
2 - TX
3 - RX
4 - NC (no pin)
5 - GND
Dual system partitions
----------------------
The vendor firmware and boot loader use a dual partition
scheme storing a counter in the header of each partition. The
partition with the highest number will be selected for boot.
OpenWrt does not support this scheme and will always use the
first OS partition. It will reset both counters to zero the
first time sysupgrade is run, making sure the first partition
is selected by the boot loader.
Installation from vendor firmware
---------------------------------
1. Run a DHCP server. The WAP6805 is configured as a client device
and does not have a default static IP address. Make a note of
which address it is assigned
2. tftp the OpenWrt initramfs-kernel.bin image to this address.
Wait for the WAP6805 to reboot.
3. ssh to the OpenWrt initramfs system on 192.168.1.1. Make a
backup of all mtd partitions now. The last used OEM image is
still present in either "Kernel" or "Kernel2" at this point,
and can be restored later if you save a copy.
4. sysupgrade to the OpenWrt sysupgrade.bin image.
Installation from U-Boot
------------------------
This requires serial console access
1. Copy the OpenWrt initramfs-kernel.bin image as "ras.bin" to
your tftp server directory. Configure the server address as
192.168.0.33/24
2. Hit ESC when the message "Hit ESC key to stop autoboot"
appears
3. Type "ATGU" + Enter, and then "2" immediately after pressing enter.
4. Answer Y to the question "Erase Linux in Flash then burn new
one. Are you sure?", and answer the address/filename questions.
Defaults:
Input device IP (192.168.0.2)
Input server IP (192.168.0.33)
Input Linux Kernel filename ("ras.bin")
5. Wait until after you see the message "Done!" and power cycle
the device. It will hang after flashing.
6. Continue with step 3 and 4 from the vendor firmware procedure.
Notes on the WAP6805 U-Boot
---------------------------
The bootloader has been modified with both ZyXELs zyloader and the
device specific dual partition scheme. These changes appear to have
broken a few things. The zyloader shell claims to support a number
of ZyXEL AT commands, but not all of them work. The image selection
scheme is unreliable and inconsistent. A limited U-Boot menu is
available - and used by the above U-Boot install procedure. But
direct booting into an uploaded image does not work, neither with
ram nor with flash. Flashing works, but requires a hard reset after
it is finished.
Reverting to OEM firmware
-------------------------
The OEM firmware can be restored by using mtd write from OpenWrt,
flashing it to the "Kernel" partition. E.g.
ssh root@192.168.1.1 "mtd -r -e Kernel write - Kernel" < oem.bin
OEM firmwares for the WAP6805 are not avaible for public download,
so a backup of the original installation is required. See above.
Alternatively, firmware for the WAP6806 (Armor X1) may be used. This
is exactly the same hardware. But the branding features do obviously
differ.
LED controller
--------------
Hardware implementation is unknown. The dual-color LED is controlled
by 3 GPIOs:
4: red
7: blinking green
13: green
Enabling both red and green makes the LED appear yellow.
The boot loader enables hardware blinking, causing the green LED to blink
slowly on power-on, until the OpenWrt boot mode starts a faster software
blink.

Everything works correctly.
Installation
------------
The “factory” openwrt image can be flashed directly from OEM stock
firmware. After the flash the router will reboot automatically.
However, due to the dual boot system, the first installation could fail
(if you want to know why, read the footnotes).
If the flash succeed and you can reach OpenWrt through the web
interface or ssh, you are done.
Otherwise the router will try to boot 3 times and then will
automatically boot the OEM firmware (don’t turn off the router.
Simply wait and try to reach the router through the web interface
every now and then, it will take few minutes).
After this, you should be back in the OEM firmware.
Now you have to flash the OEM Firmware over itself using the OEM web
interface (I tested it using the FW_EA7500v2_2.0.8.194281_prod.img
downloaded from the Linksys website).
When the router reboots flash the “factory” OpenWrt image and this
time it should work.
After the OpenWrt installation you have to use the sysupgrade image
for future updates.
Restore OEM Firmware
--------------------
After the OpenWrt flash, the OEM firmware is still stored in the
second partition thanks to the dual boot system.
You can switch from OpenWrt to OEM firmware and vice-versa failing
the boot 3 times in a row:
1) power on the router
2) wait 15 seconds
3) power off the router
4) repeat steps 1-2-3 twice more.
5) power on the router and you should be in the “other” firmware
If you want to completely remove OpenWrt from your router, switch to
the OEM firmware and then flash OEM firmware from the web interface
as a normal update.
This procedure will overwrite the OpenWrt partition.
Footnotes
---------
The Linksys EA7500-v2 has a dual boot system to avoid bricks.
This system works using 2 pair of partitions:
1) "kernel" and "rootfs"
2) "alt_kernel" and "alt_rootfs".
After 3 failed boot attempts, the bootloader tries to boot the other
pair of partitions and so on.
This system is managed by the bootloader, which writes a bootcount in
the s_env partition, and if successfully booted, the system add a
"zero-bootcount" after the previous value.
A system update performed from OEM firmware, writes the firmware on the
other pair of partitions and sets the bootloader to boot the new pair
of partitions editing the “boot_part” variable in the bootloader vars.
Effectively it's a quick and safe system to switch the selected boot
partition.
Another way to switch the boot partition is:
1) power on the router
2) wait 15 seconds
3) power off the router
4) repeat steps 1-2-3 twice more.
5) power on the router and you should be in the “other” firmware
In this OpenWrt port, this dual boot system is partially working
because the bootloader sets the right rootfs partition in the cmdline
but unfortunately OpenWrt for ramips platform overwrites the cmdline
so is not possible to detect the right rootfs partition.
Because all of this, I preferred to simply use the first pair of
partitions and set read-only the other pair.
However this solution is not optimal because is not possible to know
without opening the case which is the current booted partition.
Let’s take for example a router booting the OEM firmware from the first
pair of partitions. If we flash the OpenWrt image, it will be written
on the second pair. In this situation the router will bootloop 3 times
and then will automatically come back to the first pair of partitions
containg the OEM firmware.
In this situation, to flash OpenWrt correctly is necessary to switch
the booting partition, flashing again the OEM firmware over itself.
At this point the OEM firmware is on both pair of partitions but the
current booted pair is the second one.
Now, flashing the OpenWrt factory image will write the firmware on
the first pair and then will boot correctly.
If this limitation in the ramips platform about the cmdline will be
fixed, the dual boot system can also be implemented in OpenWrt with
almost no effort.

The "proper" vendor prefix for Ubiquiti is "ubnt", this is used in
all targets except ramips and also recommended by the kernel.
This patch adjusts the various board/image/device name variables
accordingly. Since we touch it anyway, this also adds the space
in "EdgeRouter X" as a hyphen to those variables to really make
them consistent with the model name.
While at it, create a real shared definition for the devices in
image/mt7621.mk instead of deriving one device from another.

So far, image/device/board names for Mikrotik devices in mt7621 have
been used quite inconsistently.
This patch harmonizes the naming scheme by applying the same style
as used lately in ath79, i.e. using "RouterBOARD" as separate word
in the model name (instead of RB prefix for the number) and deriving
the board/device name from that (= make lower case and replace spaces
by hyphens).
This style has already been used for most the model/DEVICE_MODEL
variables in mt7621, so this is essentially just adjusting the remaining
variables to that.

The correct model name of WF-2881 is WF2881 without hyphen. The former used
boardnames are not added to SUPPORTED_DEVICES, to make it explicit that the
sysupgrade-tar image, which is newly added in the previous commit, should
not be used to upgrade from older version.

WF-2881 sysupgrade image uses UBI rootfs, but still relies on
default_do_upgrade. Because of this, config backup is not restored after
sysupgrade. It can be fixed by switching to nand_do_upgrade and
sysupgrade-tar image. default_do_upgrade does not handle sysupgrade-tar
properly, so one should use factory image to upgrade from older version.

ALFA Network Quad-E4G is a universal Wi-Fi/4G platform, which offers
three miniPCIe (PCIe, USB 2.0, SIM) and a single M.2 B-key (dual-SIM,
USB 3.0) slots, RTC and five Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE support.
Specification:
- MT7621A (880 MHz)
- 256/512 MB of RAM (DDR3)
- 16/32+ MB of FLASH (SPI NOR)
- optional second SPI flash (8-pin WSON/SOIC)
- 1x microSD (SDXC) flash card reader
- 5x 10/100/100 Mbps Ethernet, with passive PoE support (24 V) in LAN1
- optional 802.3at/af PoE module for WAN
- 3x miniPCIe slot (with PCIe and USB 2.0 buses, micro SIM and 5 V)
- 1x M.2/NGFF B-key 3042 (USB 3.0/2.0, mini + micro SIM)
- RTC (TI BQ32002, I2C bus) with backup battery (CR2032)
- external hardware watchdog (EM Microelectronic EM6324)
- 1x USB 2.0 Type-A
- 1x micro USB Type-B for system serial console (Holtek HT42B534)
- 11x LED (5 for Ethernet, 5 driven by GPIO, 1x power indicator)
- 3x button (reset, user1, user2)
- 1x I2C (4-pin, 2.54 mm pitch) header on PCB
- 4x SIM (6-pin, 2.00 mm pitch) headers on PCB
- 2x UART2/3 (4-pin, 2.54 mm pitch) headers on PCB
- 1x mechanical power switch
- 1x DC jack with lock (24 V)
Other:
- U-Boot selects default SIM slot, based on value of 'default_sim' env
variable: '1' or unset -> SIM1 (mini), '2' -> SIM2 (micro). This board
has additional logic circuit for M.2 SIM switching. The 'sim-select'
will work only if both SIM slots are occupied. Otherwise, always slot
with SIM inside is selected, no matter 'sim-select' value.
- U-Boot enables power in all three miniPCIe and M.2 slots before
loading the kernel
- this board supports 'dual image' feature (controlled by 'dual_image'
U-Boot environment variable)
- all three miniPCIe slots have additional 5 V supply on pins 47 and 49
- the board allows to install up to two oversized miniPCIe cards (vendor
has dedicated MediaTek MT7615N/D cards for this board)
- this board has additional logic circuit controlling PERSTn pins inside
miniPCIe slots. By default, PERSTn (GPIO19) is routed to all miniPCIe
slots but setting GPIO22 to high allows PERSTn control per slot, using
GPIO23-25 (value is inverted)
You can use the 'sysupgrade' image directly in vendor firmware which is
based on OpenWrt (make sure to not preserve settings - use 'sysupgrade
-n -F ...' command). Alternatively, use web recovery mode in U-Boot:
1. Power the device with reset button pressed, the modem LED will start
blinking slowly and after ~3 seconds, when it starts blinking faster,
you can release the button.
2. Setup static IP 192.168.1.2/24 on your PC.
3. Go to 192.168.1.1 in browser and upload 'sysupgrade' image.

While most of the target's contents are split into subtargets, the
base-files are maintained for the target as a whole.
However, OpenWrt already implements a mechanism that will use (and
even prefer) files in the subtargets' directories. This can be
exploited to make several scripts subtarget-specific and thus save
some space.
In certain cases, keeping files in parent (=target) base-files was
more convenient, and thus no splitting was performed for those.
Note that this will increase overall code lines, but reduce code
per subtarget.
base-files ipk size reduction:
master (mt7621) 60958 B
split (mt7620) 46358 B (- 14.3 kiB)
split (mt7621) 48759 B (- 11.9 kiB)
