With the default BUILD_BOT configuration on a linux 6.6 kernel,
the WNDR4700's kernel no longer fits into the alloted ~3.5MiB,
even with LZMA compression.
Bigger kernels are possible, but there's a problem with Netgear's
"bootcmd":
> if loadn_dniimg 0 0x180000 0x4e0000 && chk_dniimg 0x4e0000; then nand read 0x800000 0x180000 0x20000;bootm 0x500000 - 0x800040;else fw_recovery; fi"
This loads the dni-image starting offset 0x180000 from the NAND
flash (which is the DTB partition) to 0x4e0000 in the RAM. It then
checks whenever the provided image is "valid". If it is then it
reads the DTB again to 0x800000 in the RAM and starts the extraction
and boot process. (If the image wasn't valid then it starts the
automated firmware recovery).
The issues here are that first: the kernel image gets "squeezed"
between 0x500040 and 0x7fffff... And second, the decompressor
only has area 0x0 - 0x500000 for decompression.
Hence the image now requires to update the bootcmd by providing
new values (which have been successfully tested with the original
Netgear WNDR4700 v1.0.0.56 firmware) for the RAM locations and
make full use of the fact that loadn_dniimg loads the DTB as well.
This needs to be done only once. Just connect a serial adapter to
interface with uboot and overwrite (and save) the new bootcmd.
WARNING: The serial port needs a TTL/RS-232 3.3v level converter!
Steps:
0. Power-off the WNDR4700
1. Connect the serial interface (you need to open the WNDR4700)
2. Power-up the WNDR4700
3. Monitor the boot-sequence and hit "Enter"-key when it says:
"Hit any key to stop autoboot" (Be quick, you have a ~2 second window)
4. in the Prompt enter the following commands (copy & paste)
setenv bootcmd "if loadn_dniimg 0 0x180000 0xce0000 && chk_dniimg 0xce0000; then bootm 0xd00000 - 0xce0040;else fw_recovery; fi"
saveenv
run bootcmd
Note: This new bootcmd will also unbrick devices that were bricked
by the bigger 4.19-6.1 kernels.
Note2: This method was tested with a WNDR4700. A big kernel with most
debug features enabled on v6.6.22 measured 4.30 MiB when compressed
with lzma. The uncompressed kernel is 12.34 MiB. This is over the 3 MiB,
the device reserves for the kernel... But it booted! For bigger kernels,
the device needs repartitioning of the the ubi partition due to the
kernel+dtb not fitting into the partition.
Note3: For initramfs development. I would advice to load the initramfs
images to 0x800000 (or higher). i.e.: tftp 800000 wndr4700.bin
Note4: the fw_recovery uboot command to transfer the factory image to
the flash still works.

prepend-dtb got extended to handle the Meraki devices too,
the problem here was that the Netgear WNDR4700 expects an
u-boot header in front of the DTB, whereas Meraki devices
don't.
Since the header was dropped, the WNDR4700's uboot started
to complain:
Bad Magic Number,it is forbidden to be written to flash!!
when flashing the factory.img since it expects an u-boot
header there.

The MX60's kernel is limited to 0x3EFC00 by the values in

kernel seems to be working, this patch does away with the
use of the mkmerakifw tool for the MX60(W).
But this will go along with a change in u-boot as well.
So before you upgrade, please attach the serial cable and
perform:
| setenv owrt510_boot run meraki_ubi owrt_bootargs\; run owrt_load1 owrt_bootkernel\; run owrt_load2 owrt_bootkernel
| setenv bootcmd run owrt510_boot
| saveenv
Note: You won't be able to use older OpenWrt releases without
switching the bootcmd back to owrt_boot!
Note2: We are no longer compatible with older OpenWrt MX60 installs.
the legacy BOARD_NAME and SUPPORTED_DEVICES can be dropped. This is
because upgrades from older images are not possible without uboot env
changes anymore. Also the bogus BLOCKSIZE value
(which was set to 63k back then, in order to get the kernel properly
aligned after the fdt + meraki header) can be set to the NANDs real
value. The FDT size (which was needed for alignment) can now be
slimmed down as well.

Due to 5.10 increased kernel size, the current 4MiB-ish kernel
partition got too small. Luckily, netgear's uboot environment
is setup to read 0x60000 bytes from the kernel partition location.
... While at it: also do some cleanups in the DTS in there.
The original (re-)installation described in
commit d82d84694e ("apm821xx: add support for the Netgear WNDAP620 and WNDAP660")
seemed to be still working for now. What I noticed though
is that the bigger initramfs images needed to use a different
destination address (1000000) to prevent it overwriting
itself during decompression. i.e:
# tftp 1000000 openwrt-...-wndap620-initramfs-kernel.bin
# bootm
However, in case of the WNDAP620+660 the factory.img image can be
written directly to the flash through uboot.

The majority of our targets provide a default value for the variable
SUPPORTED_DEVICES, which is used in images to check against the
compatible on a running device:
SUPPORTED_DEVICES := $(subst _,$(comma),$(1))
At the moment, this is implemented in the Device/Default block of
the individual targets or even subtargets. However, since we
standardized device names and compatible in the recent past, almost
all targets are following the same scheme now:
device/image name: vendor_model
compatible: vendor,model
The equal redundant definitions are a symptom of this process.
Consequently, this patch moves the definition to image.mk making it
a global default. For the few targets not using the scheme above,
SUPPORTED_DEVICES will be defined to a different value in
Device/Default anyway, overwriting the default. In other words:
This change is supposed to be cosmetic.
This can be used as a global measure to get the current compatible
with: $(firstword $(SUPPORTED_DEVICES))

BLOCKSIZE variable was only used in the dd command. In any case, 63k
made no sense for the way BLOCKSIZE was being used.

In the past, the MX60(W)'s recovery images always had problems
with the size restriction and never really worked without manual
intervention. But starting with 4.19, the MX60(W)'s kernel image

This patch reworks the initramfs, which allows the device to ease
up on the impossible tight kernel size requirements for the

This remedies an issue with the MBL Duo if both disks are inserted
and contain OpenWrt. kernel and dtb would be loaded from SATA 1:1
while rootfs (/dev/sda2) would be mounted on SATA 0:1.
Such a mix&match would obviously only work if both OpenWrt versions/
builds are identical, and especially fail after sysupgrade upgraded
the system disk on SATA 0:1.
The fallback to SATA 1:1 needs to be kept for MBL Single (only has
SATA 1:1) and MBL Duo with one disk inserted on SATA 1:1. To speed
up booting in those cases, the unneccesarily doubled "sata init"
will only be called once. (In theory it could be omitted completely
since the on-flash boot script already initializes SATA to load the
on-disk boot script.)

This patch adds support for squashfs as the root filesystem.
advantages:
- migrate from a existing -ext4 installation and back
with the sysupgrade utility
- existing partition layout will not be lost during switch
- slightly smaller image size as compared to the -ext4 image.
disadvantages:
- needs f2fs + tools. This is because fstools rootdisk.c decides based
on the partition size (currently root partitions > 100 MiB) f2fs is
used as the rootfs_data filesystem.
- rootfs_data is placed into the rootfs partition after the squashfs.
This makes it difficult for tools that expect a /dev/sda${X} device.
It also makes it difficult for data recovery tools as they might not
expect to find a embedded partition or will be slightly confused.
... or will not support f2fs.
For people with existing build configurations: make sure to include mkf2fs
and f2fsck packages into the image. Otherwise the new -squashfs image will
only boot from the ram-overlay.
Note:
All overlay data (configurations/all installed packages/...) will be
placed in inside the rootfs partition (i.e. /dev/sda2) just after the
squashfs image.

on, the kernel and device-tree will always be updated together.
Upgrade Note:
Existing installations will have to use the TFTP firmware
recovery option in order to install the update. Affected users
are advised to make a backup of their existing configuration
prior to running sysupgrade:
<https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/generic.backup#backup_openwrt_configuration>
Due to the repartitioning of the NAND, the generated backup
should be placed on either the internal HDD, an attached
USB-Stick or on another PC (externally).
To manually trigger the firmware recovery, the reset button has
to be pressed (and hold) during boot. U-boot will enter the "Upgrade
Mode" and starts a tftpserver listening on 192.168.1.1 for a
tftp client from one of the four LAN/Ethernet ports to connect and
upload the new system: (enable tftp binary mode!).

The recent change to switch to gcc 7.3 broke the image
generation code, as the kernel would no longer fit into
KERNEL_SIZE.
This patch fixes the issue by reworking the initramfs
creation and packaging, which will get rid of the
KERNEL_SIZE check in the process.
This new initramfs can be loaded through the MR24 U-boot
in the following way:
=> setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
=> setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,$baudrate
=> tftpboot c00000 192.168.1.2:meraki_mr24-initramfs-kernel.bin
[...]
Load address: 0xc00000

This patch converts all apm821xx devices to the device-tree
board-detection method. All instances of the legacy
boardnames (mbl,mr24,...) are converted to "vendor,device"
identifier.
The custom board-detection code in apm821xx.sh is removed as
it no longer serves any purpose.
