Analysis done by Denis Kalashnikov:
It seems that some ROS versions on some routerboard models have this bug:
after silence boot (no output to uart, no beeps) beeper clicks when wireless traffic is.
https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=92269https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=63399
From these links:
1)
Hello, I have RB951G-2HnD and I noticed strange thing
when I loaded the device with some wireless traffic it
produced strange sound - like hissing, fizzing etc.
2)
Same problem still on 6.33, with silent boot enabled
I hear buzzing noise on wireless load.
3)
The sound is fixed in v5.19, it was a bug that caused beeper to make clicks.
It also got fixed in RouterOS:
* What's new in 5.19 (2012-Jul-16 10:51):
fix ticking sound on RB411UAHL;
* What's new in 6.38.3 (2017-Feb-07 09:52):
rb3011 - fixed noise from buzzer after silent boot;
I've checked with an oscilloscope that:
* When on the ssr beeper pin is 0,
on the beeper itself is 1 (~5V),
and when on the ssr beeper pin is 1,
on the beeper is 0
The beeper doesn't consume power,
so 1 should be a default/idle value for the ssr beeper pin).
* When there is wireless traffic (ping packets)
in the background and the beeper clicks, I see
pulses on the beeper itself,
but no pulses on the ssr beeper pin (Q5 pin of 74hc595).
When I manually toggle the ssr beeper pin I see pulses on both.
So, it is likely that the phantom beeper clicks are caused by the EMI.

This commit adds support for the Teltonika RUT230 v1, a Atheros AR9331
based router with a Quectel UC20 UMTS modem.
Hardware
--------
Atheros AR9331
16 MB SPI-NOR XTX XT25F128B
64M DDR2 memory
Atheros AR9331 1T1R 802.11bgn Wireless
Boootloader: pepe2k U-Boot mod
Hardware-Revision
-----------------
There are two board revisions of the RUT230, a v0 and v1.
A HW version is silkscreened on the top of the PCBs front side as well
as shown in the Teltonika UI. However, this looks to be a different
identifier, as the GPl dump shows this silkscreened / UI shown version
are internally treated identically.
Th following mapping has been obtained from the latest GPl dump.
HW Ver 01 - 04 --> v0
HW Ver > 05 --> v1
My board was a HW Ver 09 and is treated as a v1.
Installation
------------
While attaching power, hold down the reset button and release it after
the signal LEDs flashed 3 times.
Attach your Computer with the devices LAN port and assign yourself the
IPv4 address 192.168.1.10/24. Open a web browser, navigate to
192.168.1.1. Upload the OpenWrt factory image.
The device will install OpenWrt and automatically reboots afterwards.
You can use the smae procedure with the stock firmware to return back to
the vendor firmware.

Currently, the option to disable subpage writing is only set
when a HW ECC engine is used.
Some boards lack a HW ECC engine and use software for that.
In this case, this NAND option does not get set when the NAND chip
does not support it, resulting in mounting errors.
Move the setting of this option to a generic init location so it
gets set for all types where required.
While at it, also OR the option instead of just setting it
so we don't overwrite potential flags being set somewhere else.

Not working:
* Button: it shares gpio line 15 with NAND ALE and NAND IO7,
and current drivers doesn't easily support this configuration,
* Beeper: it is connected to bit 5 of a serial shift register
(tested with sysfs led trigger timer). But kmod-gpio-beeper

This patch adds support for the Devolo dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac.
This device is a plc wifi AC2400 router/extender with 2 Ethernet ports,
has a QCA7500 PLC and uses the HomePlug AV2 standard.
Other than the PLC the hardware is identical to the Devolo Magic 2 WIFI.
Therefore it uses the same dts, which was moved to a dtsi to be included
by both boards.
This is a board that was previously included in the ar71xx tree.
Hardware:
SoC: AR9344
CPU: 560 MHz
Flash: 16 MiB (W25Q128JVSIQ)
RAM: 128 MiB DDR2
Ethernet: 2xLAN 10/100/1000

Switch: QCA8337, Port0:CPU, Port2:PLC, Port3:LAN1, Port4:LAN2
Button: 3x Buttons (Reset, wifi and plc)
LED: 3x Leds (wifi, plc white, plc red)
GPIO Switch: 11-PLC Pairing (Active Low)
13-PLC Enable
21-WLAN power
MACs Details verified with the stock firmware:
Radio1: 2.4 GHz &wmac *:4c Art location: 0x1002
Radio0: 5.0 GHz &pcie *:4d Art location: 0x5006

PLC uplink --- *:4f = 2.4 GHz + 3
Label MAC address is from PLC uplink
The Powerline (PLC) interface of the dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac requires 3rd
party firmware which is not available from standard OpenWrt package
feeds. There is a package feed on github which you must add to
OpenWrt buildroot so you can build a firmware image which supports the
plc interface.
See: https://github.com/0xFelix/dlan-openwrt (forked from Devolo and
added compatibility for OpenWrt 21.02)
Flash instruction (TFTP):
1. Set PC to fixed ip address 192.168.0.100
2. Download the sysupgrade image and rename it to uploadfile
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

CPExxx and WBSxxx boards with AR9344 SOC
use the OKLI lzma kernel loader
with the offset of 3 blocks of length 4k (0x3000)
in order to have a fake "kernel" that cannot grow larger
than how it is defined in the now static OEM partition table.
Before recent changes to the mtdsplit driver,
the uImage parser for OKLI only supported images
that started exactly on an eraseblock boundary.
The mtdsplit parser for uImage now supports identifying images
with any magic number value
and at any offset from the eraseblock boundary
using DTS properties to define those values.
So, it is no longer necessary to use fixed sizes
for kernel and rootfs

CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y is already set in the generic kernel
configuration, but it is not working for MIPS on kernel 5.4, support for
MIPS was only added with kernel 5.5, other architectures like aarch64
support FORTIFY_SOURCE already since some time.
This patch adds support for FORTIFY_SOURCE to MIPS with kernel 5.4,
kernel 5.10 already supports this and needs no changes.
This backports one patch from kernel 5.5 and one fix from 5.8 to make
fortify source also work on our kernel 5.4.
The changes are not compatible with the
306-mips_mem_functions_performance.patch patch which was also removed
with kernel 5.10, probably because of the same problems. I think it is
not needed anyway as the compiler should automatically optimize the
calls to memset(), memcpy() and memmove() even when not explicitly
telling the compiler to use the build in variant.
This increases the size of an uncompressed kernel by less than 1 KB.

Use a similar upgrade method for sysupgrade.bin, like factory.bin,
for Senao boards with the tar.gz OEM upgrade platform,
and 'failsafe' image which is loaded on checksum failure.
This is inspired by the OEM upgrade script /etc/fwupgrade.sh
and the existing platforms for dual-boot Senao boards.
Previously, if the real kernel was damaged or missing
the only way to recover was with UART serial console,
because the OKLI lzma-loader is programmed to halt.
uboot did not detect cases where kernel or rootfs is damaged
and boots OKLI instead of the failsafe image,
because the checksums stored in uboot environment
did not include the real kernel and rootfs space.
Now, the stored checksums include the space for both
the lzma-loader, kernel, and rootfs.
Therefore, these boards are now practically unbrickable.
Also, the factory.bin and sysupgrade.bin are now the same,
except for image metadata.
This allows for flashing OEM image directly from openwrt
as well as flashing openwrt image directly from OEM.
Make 'loader' partition writable so that it can be updated
during a sysupgrade.

ath79/tiny kernel config has
CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_4K_SECTORS=y
from commit
05d35403b2
Because of this, these changes are required for 2 reasons:
1.
Senao devices in ath79/tiny
with a 'failsafe' partition and the tar.gz sysupgrade platform
and a flash chip that supports 4k sectors
will fail to reboot to openwrt after a sysupgrade.
the stored checksum is made with the 64k blocksize length
of the image to be flashed,
and the actual checksum changes after flashing due to JFFS2 space
being formatted within the length of the rootfs from the image
example:
0x440000 length of kernel + rootfs (from sysupgrade.bin)
0x439000 offset of rootfs_data (from kernel log)
2.
for boards with flash chips that support 4k sectors:
saving configuration over sysupgrade is not possible
because sysupgrade.tgz is appended at a 64k boundary
and the mtd parser starts JFFS2 at a 4k boundary.
for boards with flash chips that do not support 4k sectors:
partitioning with 4k boundaries causes a boot loop
from the mtd parser not finding kernel and rootfs.
Also:
Some of the Senao boards that belong in ath79/tiny,
for example ENH202,
have a flash chip that does not support 4k sectors
(no SECT_4K symbol in upstream source).
Because of this, partitioning must be different for these devices
depending on the flash chip model detected by the kernel.
Therefore:
this creates 2 DTSI files
to replace the single one with 64k partitioning
for 4k and 64k partitioning respectively.
Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt <mcpratt@pm.me>
By using the same custom kernel header magic
in both OKLI lzma-loader, DTS, and makefile
this hack is not necessary anymore
However, "rootfs" size and checksum
must now be supplied by the factory.bin image
through a script that is accepted by the OEM upgrade script.
This is because Senao OEM scripts assume a squashfs header exists
at the offset for the original "rootfs" partition
which is actually the kernel + rootfs in this implementation,
and takes size value from the header that would be there with hexdump,
but this offset is now the uImage header instead.
This frees up 1 eraseblock
previously used by the "fakeroot" partition
for bypassing the OEM image verification.
Also, these Senao devices with a 'failsafe' partition
and the tar-gz factory.bin platform would otherwise require
flashing the new tar-gz sysupgrade.bin afterward.
So this also prevents having to flash both images
when starting from OEM or 'failsafe'
the OEM upgrade script verifies the header magic numbers,
but only the first two bytes.
Example:
[ "${magic_word_kernel}" = "2705" ] &&
[ "${magic_word_rootfs}" = "7371" -o "${magic_word_rootfs}" = "6873" ] &&
errcode="0"
therefore picked the magic number
0x73714f4b
which is
'sqOK'
Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt <mcpratt@pm.me>
...and max flash offset
The mtdsplit parser was recently refactored
to allow the kernel to have custom image header magic.
Let's also do this for the lzma-loader
For example:
When implemented together,
this allows the kernel to "appear" to be a rootfs
by OEM software in order to write an image
that is actually kernel + rootfs.
At the same time,
it would boot to openwrt normally
by setting the same magic in DTS.
Both of the variables
have a default value that is unchanged
when not defined in the makefiles
This has no effect on the size of the loader
when lzma compressed.

This device is a wireless router working on 2.4GHz band based on
Qualcom/Atheros AR9132 rev 2 SoC and is accompanied by Atheros AR9103
wireless chip and Realtek RTL8366RB/S switches. Due to two different
switches being used also two different devices are provided.
Specification:
- 400 MHz CPU
- 64 MB of RAM
- 32 MB of FLASH (NOR)
- 3x3:2 2.4 GHz 802.11bgn
- 5x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
- 4x LED, 3x button, On/Off slider, Auto/On/Off slider
- 1x USB 2.0
- bare UART header place on PCB
Flash instruction:
- NOTE: Pay attention to the switch variant and choose the image to
flash accordingly. (dmesg / kernel logs can tell it)
- Methods for flashing
- Apply factory image in OEM firmware web-gui.
- Sysupgrade on top of existing OpenWRT image
- U-Boot TFPT recovery for both stock or OpenWRT images:
The device U-boot contains a TFTP server that by default has
an address 192.168.11.1 (MAC 02:AA:BB:CC:DD:1A). During the boot
there is a time window, during which the device allows an image to
be uploaded from a client with address 192.168.11.2. The image will
be written on flash automatically.
1) Have a computer with static IP address 192.168.11.2 and the
router device switched off.
2) Connect the LAN port next to the WAN port in the device and the
computer using a network switch.
3) Assign IP 192.168.11.1 the MAC address 02:AA:BB:CC:DD:1A
arp -s 192.168.11.1 02:AA:BB:CC:DD:1A
4) Initiate an upload using TFTP image variant
curl -T <imagename> tftp://192.168.11.1
5) Switch on the device. The image will be uploaded subsequently.
You can keep an eye on the diag light on the device, it should
keep on blinking for a while indicating the writing of the image.
General notes:
- In the stock firmware the MAC address is the same among all
interfaces so it is left here that way too.
Recovery:
- TFTP method
- U-boot serial console
Differences to ar71xx platform
- This device is split in two different targets now due to hardware
being a bit different under the hood. Dynamic solution within the same
image is left for later time.
- GPIOs for a sliding On/Off switch, marked 'Movie engine' on the device
cover, were the wrong way around and were renamed qos_on -> movie_off,
qos_off -> movie_on. Associated key codes remained the same they were.

The uart node is enabled on all devices except one (GL-USB150 *).
Thus, let's not have a few hundred nodes to enable it, but do not
disable it in the first place.
Where the majority of devices is using it, also move the serial0
alias to the DTSI.
*) Since GL-USB150 even defines serial0 alias, the missing uart
is probably just a mistake. Anyway, disable it for now so this

Regulator support was enabled on all subtargets except for ath79-nand.
With Kernel 5.10, AT803x requires Regulator support, thus enabling on
the complete target, as ath79-nand requires AT803x.
While this is only required on Kernel 5.10, enable it also on 5.4. We
have no major size-constraint, so enabling it on 5.4 allows us to clean
up the occurences in the subtarget configuration.

After flashing factory.bin, additional free space can be reclaimed by
flashing sysupgrade.bin, since the factory image requires some padding
to be accepted for upgrading via OEM Web UI.
Both ethernet ports are set to LAN by default, matching the labelling on
the case. However, since both GMAC Interfaces eth0 and eth1 are connected
to the switch (QCA8337), the user may create an additional 'wan' interface
as desired and override the vlan id settings to map br-lan / wan to either
the PoE or non-PoE port, depending on the individual scenario of use.
So, the LAN and WAN ports would then be connected to different GMACs, e.g.
config interface 'lan'
option ifname 'eth0.1'
...
config interface 'wan'
option ifname 'eth1.2'
...
config switch_vlan

Port device support for Meraki MR12 from the ar71xx target to ath79.
Specifications:
- SoC: AR7242-AH1A CPU
- RAM: 64MiB (NANYA NT5DS32M16DS-5T)
- NOR Flash: 16MiB (MXIC MX25L12845EMI-10G)
- Ethernet: 1 x PoE Gigabit Ethernet Port (SoC MAC + AR8021-BL1E PHY)
- Ethernet: 1 x 100Mbit port (SoC MAC+PHY)
- Wi-Fi: Atheros AR9283-AL1A (2T2R, 11n)
Installation:
1. Requires TFTP server at 192.168.1.101, w/ initramfs & sysupgrade .bins
2. Open shell case
3. Connect a USB->TTL cable to headers furthest from the RF shield
4. Power on the router; connect to U-boot over 115200-baud connection
5. Interrupt U-boot process to boot Openwrt by running:
setenv bootcmd bootm 0xbf0a0000; saveenv;
tftpboot 0c00000 <filename-of-initramfs-kernel>.bin;
bootm 0c00000;
6. Copy sysupgrade image to /tmp on MR12
7. sysupgrade /tmp/<filename-of-sysupgrade>.bin
Notes:
- kmod-owl-loader is still required to load the ART partition into the
driver.
- The manner of storing MAC addresses is updated from ar71xx; it is
at 0x66 of the 'config' partition, where it was discovered that the
OEM firmware stores it. This is set as read-only. If you are
migrating from ar71xx and used the method mentioned above to
upgrade, use kmod-mtd-rw or UCI to add the MAC back in. One more
method for doing this is described below.
- Migrating directly from ar71xx has not been thoroughly tested, but
one method has been used a couple of times with good success,
migrating 18.06.2 to a full image produced as of this commit. Please
note that these instructions are only for experienced users, and/or
those still able to open their device up to flash it via the serial
headers should anything go wrong.
1) Install kmod-mtd-rw and uboot-envtools
2) Run `insmod mtd-rw.ko i_want_a_brick=1`
3) Modify /etc/fw_env.config to point to the u-boot-env partition.
The file /etc/fw_env.config should contain:
# MTD device env offset env size sector size
/dev/mtd1 0x00000 0x10000 0x10000
See https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/bootloader/uboot.config
for more details.
4) Run `fw_printenv` to verify everything is correct, as per the
link above.
5) Run `fw_setenv bootcmd bootm 0xbf0a0000` to set a new boot address.
6) Manually modify /lib/upgrade/common.sh's get_image function:
Change ...
cat "$from" 2>/dev/null | $cmd
... into ...
(
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=$((0x66)) ; # Pad the first 102 bytes
echo -ne '\x00\x18\x0a\x12\x34\x56' ; # Add in MAC address
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=$((0x20000-0x66-0x6)) ; # Pad the rest
cat "$from" 2>/dev/null
) | $cmd
... which, during the upgrade process, will pad the image by
128K of zeroes-plus-MAC-address, in order for the ar71xx's
firmware partition -- which starts at 0xbf080000 -- to be
instead aligned with the ath79 firmware partition, which
starts 128K later at 0xbf0a0000.
7) Copy the sysupgrade image into /tmp, as above
8) Run `sysupgrade -F /tmp/<sysupgrade>.bin`, then wait
Again, this may BRICK YOUR DEVICE, so make *sure* to have your
serial cable handy.

FCC ID: A8J-EAP1200H
Engenius EAP1200H is an indoor wireless access point with
1 Gb ethernet port, dual-band wireless,
internal antenna plates, and 802.3at PoE+
**Specification:**
- QCA9557 SOC
- QCA9882 WLAN PCI card, 5 GHz, 2x2, 26dBm
- AR8035-A PHY RGMII GbE with PoE+ IN
- 40 MHz clock
- 16 MB FLASH MX25L12845EMI-10G
- 2x 64 MB RAM NT5TU32M16FG
- UART at J10 populated
- 4 internal antenna plates (5 dbi, omni-directional)
- 5 LEDs, 1 button (power, eth0, 2G, 5G, WPS) (reset)
**MAC addresses:**
MAC addresses are labeled as ETH, 2.4G, and 5GHz
Only one Vendor MAC address in flash
eth0 ETH *:a2 art 0x0
phy1 2.4G *:a3 ---
phy0 5GHz *:a4 ---
**Serial Access:**
the RX line on the board for UART is shorted to ground by resistor R176
therefore it must be removed to use the console
but it is not necessary to remove to view boot log
optionally, R175 can be replaced with a solder bridge short
the resistors R175 and R176 are next to the UART RX pin at J10
**Installation:**
2 ways to flash factory.bin from OEM:
Method 1: Firmware upgrade page:
OEM webpage at 192.168.1.1
username and password "admin"
Navigate to "Firmware Upgrade" page from left pane
Click Browse and select the factory.bin image
Upload and verify checksum
Click Continue to confirm and wait 3 minutes
Method 2: Serial to load Failsafe webpage:
After connecting to serial console and rebooting...
Interrupt uboot with any key pressed rapidly
execute `run failsafe_boot` OR `bootm 0x9fd70000`
wait a minute
connect to ethernet and navigate to
"192.168.1.1/index.htm"
Select the factory.bin image and upload
wait about 3 minutes
**Return to OEM:**
If you have a serial cable, see Serial Failsafe instructions
otherwise, uboot-env can be used to make uboot load the failsafe image
*DISCLAIMER*
The Failsafe image is unique to Engenius boards.
If the failsafe image is missing or damaged this will brick the device
DO NOT downgrade to ar71xx this way, it can cause kernel loop or halt
ssh into openwrt and run
`fw_setenv rootfs_checksum 0`
reboot, wait 3 minutes
connect to ethernet and navigate to 192.168.1.1/index.htm
select OEM firmware image from Engenius and click upgrade
**TFTP recovery:**
Requires serial console, reset button does nothing
rename initramfs to 'vmlinux-art-ramdisk'
make available on TFTP server at 192.168.1.101
power board, interrupt boot
execute tftpboot and bootm 0x81000000
NOTE: TFTP is not reliable due to bugged bootloader
set MTU to 600 and try many times
**Format of OEM firmware image:**
The OEM software of EAP1200H is a heavily modified version
of Openwrt Kamikaze. One of the many modifications
is to the sysupgrade program. Image verification is performed
simply by the successful ungzip and untar of the supplied file
and name check and header verification of the resulting contents.
To form a factory.bin that is accepted by OEM Openwrt build,
the kernel and rootfs must have specific names...
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-eap1200h-uImage-lzma.bin
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-eap1200h-root.squashfs
and begin with the respective headers (uImage, squashfs).
Then the files must be tarballed and gzipped.
The resulting binary is actually a tar.gz file in disguise.
This can be verified by using binwalk on the OEM firmware images,
ungzipping then untaring.
Newer EnGenius software requires more checks but their script
includes a way to skip them, otherwise the tar must include
a text file with the version and md5sums in a deprecated format.
The OEM upgrade script is at /etc/fwupgrade.sh.
OKLI kernel loader is required because the OEM software
expects the kernel to be no greater than 1536k
and the factory.bin upgrade procedure would otherwise
overwrite part of the kernel when writing rootfs.
Note on PLL-data cells:
The default PLL register values will not work
because of the external AR8035 switch between
the SOC and the ethernet port.
For QCA955x series, the PLL registers for eth0 and eth1
can be see in the DTSI as 0x28 and 0x48 respectively.
Therefore the PLL registers can be read from uboot
for each link speed after attempting tftpboot
or another network action using that link speed
with `md 0x18050028 1` and `md 0x18050048 1`.
The clock delay required for RGMII can be applied
at the PHY side, using the at803x driver `phy-mode`.
Therefore the PLL registers for GMAC0
do not need the bits for delay on the MAC side.
This is possible due to fixes in at803x driver
since Linux 5.1 and 5.3

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))

Various methods can be used to install the actual image on the flash.
Two easy ones are:
ap51-flash
----------
The tool ap51-flash (https://github.com/ap51-flash/ap51-flash) should be
used to transfer the image to the u-boot when the device boots up.
initramfs from TFTP
-------------------
The serial console must be used to access the u-boot shell during bootup.
It can then be used to first boot up the initramfs image from a TFTP server
(here with the IP 192.168.1.21):
setenv serverip 192.168.1.21
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
tftpboot 0c00000 <filename-of-initramfs-kernel>.bin && bootm $fileaddr
The actual sysupgrade image can then be transferred (on the LAN port) to the
device via
scp <filename-of-squashfs-sysupgrade>.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
On the device, the sysupgrade must then be started using
sysupgrade -n /tmp/<filename-of-squashfs-sysupgrade>.bin

The OpenMesh MR600 is a modified version of the EAP600 family. These
devices are shipped with an AR803x PHY and had various problems with the
delay configuration in ar71xx. These problems are now in the past [1] and
parts of the delay configuration should now be done in the PHY only.
Just switch to the configuration of the EAP600 to have an already well
tested configuration for ath79 with the newer kernel versions.

Flashing procedure is identical to other ubnt devices.
https://openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/common
Flashing through factory firmware
1. Ensure firmware version v8.7.0 is installed.
Up/downgrade to this exact version.
2. Patch fwupdate.real binary using
`hexdump -Cv /bin/ubntbox | sed 's/14 40 fe 27/00 00 00 00/g' | \
hexdump -R > /tmp/fwupdate.real`
3. Make the patched fwupdate.real binary executable using
`chmod +x /tmp/fwupdate.real`
4. Copy the squashfs factory image to /tmp on the device
5. Flash OpenWrt using `/tmp/fwupdate.real -m <squashfs-factory image>`
6. Wait for the device to reboot
(copied from Ubiquiti NanoBeam AC and modified)
Flashing from serial console
1. Connect serial console (115200 baud)
2. Connect ethernet to a network with a TFTP server, through a
passive PoE injector.
3. Press a key to obtain a u-boot prompt
4. Set your TFTP server's ip address, with:
setenv serverip <tftp-server-address>
5. Set the Bullet AC's ip address, with:
setenv ipaddr <bullet-ac-address>
6. Set the boot file, with:
setenv bootfile <name-of-initramfs-binary-on-tftp-server>
7. Fetch the binary with tftp:
tftpboot
8. Boot the initramfs binary:
bootm
9. From the initramfs, fetch the sysupgrade binary, and flash it with
sysupgrade.
The Bullet AC is identified as a 2WA board by Ubiquiti. As such, the UBNT_TYPE
must match from the "Flashing through factory firmware" install instructions
to work.
Phy0 is QCA988X which can tune either band (2.4 or 5GHz). Phy1 is AR9342,
on which 5GHz is disabled. It isn't currently known whether phy1 is
routed to the N connector at all.

For:
- ENH202 v1
- ENS202EXT v1
These boards were committed before it was discovered
that for all Engenius boards with a "failsafe" image,
forcing the failsafe image to load next boot
can be achieved by editing the u-boot environment like:
`fw_setenv rootfs_checksum 0`
So it's not necessary to delete a partition to boot to failsafe image.

This moves some of the Engenius boards from generic to tiny:
- EAP350 v1
- ECB350 v1
- ENH202 v1
For these, factory.bin builds are already failing on master
branch because of the unique situation for these boards:
- 8 MB flash
- an extra "failsafe" image for recovery
- TFTP does not work (barely possible with 600 MTU)
- bootloader loads image from a longer flash offset
- 1 eraseblock each needed for OKLI kernel loader and fake rootfs
- using mtd-concat to make use of remaining space...
The manual alternative would be removing the failsafe partition.
However this comes with the risk of extremely difficult recovery
if a flash ever fails because TFTP on the bootloader is bugged.

Flashing instructions:
======================
Various methods can be used to install the actual image on the flash.
Two easy ones are:
ap51-flash
----------
The tool ap51-flash (https://github.com/ap51-flash/ap51-flash) should be
used to transfer the image to the u-boot when the device boots up.
initramfs from TFTP
-------------------
The serial console must be used to access the u-boot shell during bootup.
It can then be used to first boot up the initramfs image from a TFTP server
(here with the IP 192.168.1.21):
setenv serverip 192.168.1.21
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
tftpboot 0c00000 <filename-of-initramfs-kernel>.bin && bootm $fileaddr
The actual sysupgrade image can then be transferred (on the LAN port) to
the device via
scp <filename-of-squashfs-sysupgrade>.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
On the device, the sysupgrade must then be started using
sysupgrade -n /tmp/<filename-of-squashfs-sysupgrade>.bin

The upgrade script for the openmesh sysupgrade procedure used always an 1
byte block size. This made it easier to seek the correct position in the CE
image and to make sure the right amount of data was copied. But this also
meant that the reading/writing of data required an excessive amount of
syscalls and copy operations.
A 5.4MB big sysupgrade image on an OM2P-HS v3 needed roughly 120s for the
write operation (170s in total) during the sysupgrade.
But it is possible to reduce this overhead slightly:
* index access to read the file size can be done in single 8 byte chunk
(while doing the seek with byte granularity) because each size entry is
example 8 bytes long
* the fwupgrade.cfg can be read as one block (while seeking to its position
using its actual byte offset) because it should be rather small and fit
into the RAM easily
* the kernel can be read in 1KB blocks (while seking to its positions using
its actual byte offset) because the the size of the kernel is always a
multiple of the NOR flash block size (64KB and 256KB)
This results in a sysupgrade write time of roughly 90s (140s in total).
This could be reduced even further when also using larger chunks for the
rootfs. But the squashfs rootfs image is at the moment always
(256KB or 64KB) * block + 4 bytes
long. It would be expected that the time for the sysupgrade write could be
reduced to roughly 30s (80s in total) when busybox's dd would support
the iflag count_bytes.

The current support for MikroTik NAND-based devices relies on a
gross hack that packs the kernel into a static YAFFS stub, as the
stock bootloader only supports booting a YAFFS-encapsulated kernel.
The problem with this approach is that since the kernel partition is
blindly overwritten without any kind of wear or badblock management
(due to lack of proper support for YAFFS in OpenWRT), the NAND flash
is not worn uniformly and eventually badblocks appear, leading to
unbootable devices.
This issue has been reported here [1] and discussed in more detail
here [2].

Until a proper fix is found (or the stock bootloader supports other
filesystems), we disable building these images to prevent unknowing
users from risking their devices.
Thanks to Thibaut Varène for summarizing the details above.
