This device is very similar, if not identical, to the TP-Link AX23 v1
but is targeted at service providers and features a completely different
flash layout.
Hardware
--------
CPU: MediaTek MT7621 DAT
RAM: 128MB DDR3 (integrated)
FLASH: 16MB SPI-NOR
WiFi: MediaTek MT7905 + MT7975 (2.4 / 5 DBDC) 802.11ax
SERIAL: 115200 8N1
LEDs - (3V3 - GND - RX - TX) - ETH ports
Installation
------------
Flashing is only possible via a serial connection using the sysupgrade
image; the factory image must be signed. You can flash the sysupgrade
image directly through the U-Boot console, or preferably, by booting the
initramfs image and flashing with the sysupgrade command. Follow these
steps for sysupgrade flashing:
1. Establish a UART serial connection.
2. Set up a TFTP server at 192.168.0.2 and copy the initramfs image
there.
3. Power on the device and press any key to interrupt normal boot.
4. Load the initramfs image using tftpboot.
5. Boot with bootm.
6. If you haven't done so already, back up all stock mtd partitions.
7. Copy the sysupgrade image to the router.
8. Flash OpenWrt through either LuCI or the sysupgrade command. Remember
not to attempt saving settings.
Revert to stock firmware
------------------------
Flash stock firmware via OEM web-recovery mode. If you don't have access
to the stock firmware image, you will need to restore the firmware
partition backed up earlier.
Web-Recovery
------------
The router supports an HTTP recovery mode:
1. Turn off the router.
2. Press the reset button and power on the device.
3. When all LEDs start flashing, release reset and quickly press it
again.
The interface is reachable at 192.168.0.1 and supports installation of
the OEM factory image. Note that flashing OpenWrt this way is not
possible, as mentioned above.

Set correct GPIO (10) for the WPS button. This matches GPIO settings in
vendor GPL sources. Note that GPL sources also mention a USB indicator
LED (GPIO 13) but the device has neither an external USB port nor a USB LED.
In addition, prefixes (button-, led-) are added to relevant DT entries,
as well as color and function specifications for LEDs.

A typo snuck in with the addition of Cudy M1800, changing
"nr7101" to "nt7101". The result is a default network config
for NR7101 without the only ethernet interface on the NR7101,
thereby soft bricking it.

The DRA-1360 rev A is a wall-plug AC1300 repeater.
Hardware is identical (same FCC ID, black case instead of white)
to D-Link DAP-1620 rev B, which is already supported, but a
different model name, revision, and hardware ID are needed.
Thus, the bulk of the DAP-1620 device tree is extracted to a
common dtsi included by the two models' device trees.

I-O DATA WN-DEAX1800GR is a 2.4/5 GHz band 11ax (Wi-Fi 6) router, based
on MT7621A.
Specification:
- SoC : MediaTek MT7621A
- RAM : DDR3 256 MiB (Nanya NT5CC128M16JR-EK)
- Flash : RAW NAND 128 MiB (Winbond W29N01HVSINF)
- WLAN : 2.4/5 GHz (MediaTek MT7915)
- Ethernet : 5x 10/100/1000 Mbps
- Switch : MT7530 (SoC)
- LEDs/Keys : 6x/3x
- UART : through-hole on PCB (J2)
- assignment: 3.3V, GND, TX, RX from "1" marking
- settings : 115200n8
- Power : 12 VDC, 1 A
Flash instruction using initramfs-factory image:
1. Boot WN-DEAX1800GR normally
2. Access to "http://192.168.0.1/" and open firmware update page
("ファームウェア")
3. Select the OpenWrt initramfs-factory.bin image and click update
("更新") button to perform firmware update
4. On the initramfs image, perform sysupgrade with the
squashfs-sysupgrade.bin image
5. Wait ~120 seconds to complete flashing
Note:
- This device has 2x OS images on the flash storage. In this support,
the first one will be used.
Warning:
- Do not use "saveenv" command on U-Boot CLI.
This device has wrong u-boot-env data. The actual length of individual
env data installed to the device is 0x1000 (4 KiB), but installed
U-Boot requires 0x20000 (128 KiB). So U-Boot determines the data is
invalid. Then, if you perform saving environment data with saveenv on
U-Boot CLI, installed env data will be overwritten with too few
default values without individual values (SSID, password, MAC
addresses, etc...).
MAC addresses:
LAN : 50:41:B9:xx:xx:F4 (Config, ethaddr (text))
WAN : 50:41:B9:xx:xx:F6 (Config, wanaddr (text))

The PHY of the wan2 port on MQmaker WiTi is wired to the second MAC of the
SoC. Rename the wan interface to wan1 and define it under the switch node,
effectively disabling the PHY muxing of the MT7530 switch's phy4.
Define the PHY of the wan2 port and adjust the gmac1 node accordingly. Now
that the PHY muxing feature is not being used anymore, the wan2 port can be
used to achieve 2 Gbps total bandwidth to the CPU.

The TP-Link EAP613 v1 is a ceiling-mount 802.11ax access point. It can
be powered via PoE or a DC barrel connector (12V). Connecting to the
UART requires fine soldering and careful manipulation of any soldered
wires.
Device details:
* SoC: MT7621AT
* Flash: 16 MiB SPI NOR
* RAM: 256 MiB DDR3L
* Wi-Fi:
* MT7905DA + MT7975D: 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz (DBDC), 2x2:2
* Two stamped metal antennas (ANT1, ANT2)
* One PCB antenna (ANT3)
* One unpopulated antenna (ANT4)
* Ethernet:
* 1× 10/100/1000 Mbps port with PoE
* LEDs:
* Array of four blue LEDs with one control line
* Buttons:
* Reset
* Board test points:
* UART: next to CPU RF-shield and power circuits
* JTAG: under CPU RF-shield (untested)
* Watchdog: 3PEAK TPV706 (not implemented)
Althought three antennas are populated, the MT7905DA does not support
the additional Rx chain for background DFS detection (or Bluetooth)
according to commit 6cbcc34f50 ("ramips: disable unsupported
background radar detection").
MAC addresses:
* LAN: 48:22:54:xx:xx:a2 (device label)
* WLAN 2.4 GHz: 48:22:54:xx:xx:a2
* WLAN 5 GHz: 48:22:54:xx:xx:a3
The radio calibration blob stored in flash also contains valid MAC
addresses for both radio bands (OUI 00:0c:43).
Factory install:
1. Enable SSH on the device via web interface
2. Log in with SSH, and run `cliclientd stopcs`
3. Upload -factory.bin image via web interface. It may be necessary to
shorten the filename of the image to e.g. 'factory.bin'.
Recovery:
1. Open the device by unscrewing four screws from the backside
2. Carefully remove board from the housing
3. Connect to UART (3.3V):
* Find test points labelled "VCC", "GND", "UART_TX", "UART_RX"
* Solder wires to test points or connect otherwise. Be careful not
to damage the PCB e.g. by pulling on soldered wires.
* Open console with 115200n8 settings
4. Interrupt bootloader and use tftpboot to start an initramfs:
setenv ipaddr $DEVICE_IP
setenv serverip $SERVER_IP
tftpboot 84000000 openwrt-initramfs-kernel.bin
bootm
DO NOT use saveenv to store modified u-boot environment variables. The
environment is saved at flash offset 0x30000, which erases part of the
(secondary) bootloader.
The device uses two bootloader stages. The first stage will load the
second stage from a uImage stored at flash offset 0x10000. In case of
a damaged second stage, the first stage should allow uploading a new
image via y-modem (untested).

Then select TFTP boot from RAM by selecting option 1 in the boot menu.
As Linksys decided to leave out a basic TFTP configuration you need to

boot process.
Once openwrt has booted up, upload the sysupgrade image via scp and run

The ZyXEL WSM20 aka Multy M1 is a cheap mesh router system by ZyXEL
based on the MT7621 CPU.
Specifications
==============
SoC: MediaTek MT7621AT (880MHz)
RAM: 256MiB
Flash: 128MiB NAND
Wireless: 802.11ax (2x2 MT7915E DBDC)
Ethernet: 4x 10/100/1000 (MT7530)
Button: 1x WPS, 1x Reset, 1x LED On/Off
LED: 7 LEDs (3x white, 2x red, 2x green)
MAC address assignment
======================
The MAC address assignment follows stock: The label MAC address is the LAN
MAC address, the WAN address is read from flash.
The WiFi MAC addresses are set in userspace to label MAC + 1 and label MAC
+ 2.
Installation (web interface)
============================
The device is cloud-managed, but there is a hidden local firmware upgrade
page in the OEM web interface. The device has to be registered in the
cloud in order to be able to access this page.
The system has a dual firmware design, there is no way to tell which
firmware is currently booted. Therefore, an -initramfs version is flashed
first.
1. Log into the OEM web GUI
2. Access the hidden upgrade page by navigating to
https://192.168.212.1/gui/#/main/debug/firmwareupgrade
3. Upload the -initramfs-kernel.bin file and flash it
4. Wait for OpenWrt to boot and log in via SSH
5. Transfer the sysupgrade file via SCP
6. Run sysupgrade to install the image
7. Reboot and enjoy
NB: If the initramfs version was installed in RAS2, the sysupgrade script
sets the boot number to the first partition. A backup has to be performed
manually in case the OEM firwmare should be kept.
Installation (UART method)
==========================
The UART method is more difficult, as the boot loader does not have a
timeout set. A semi-working stock firmware is required to configure it:
1. Attach UART
2. Boot the stock firmware until the message about failsafe mode appears
3. Enter failsafe mode by pressing "f" and "Enter"
4. Type "mount_root"
5. Run "fw_setenv bootmenu_delay 3"
6. Reboot, U-Boot now presents a menu
7. The -initramfs-kernel.bin image can be flashed using the menu
8. Run the regular sysupgrade for a permanent installation
Changing the partition to boot is a bit cumbersome in U-Boot, as there is
no menu to select it. It can only be checked using mstc_bootnum. To change
it, issue the following commands in U-Boot:
nand read 1800000 53c0000 800
mw.b 1800004 1 1
nand erase 53c0000 800
nand write 1800000 53c0000 800
This selects FW1. Replace "mw.b 1800004 1 1" by "mw.b 1800004 2 1" to
change to the second slot.
Back to stock
=============
It is possible to flash back to stock, but a OEM firmware upgrade is
required. ZyXEL does not provide the link on its website, but the link
can be acquired from the OEM web GUI by analyzing the transferred JSON
objects.
It is then a matter of writing the firmware to Kernel2 and setting the
boot partition to FW2:
mtd write zyxel.bin Kernel2
echo -ne "\x02" | dd of=/dev/mtdblock7 count=1 bs=1 seek=4 conv=notrunc

- Move nvmem-cells to bdinfo partition and remove &bdinfo reference
- Add OEM device model name R13 to SUPPORTED_DEVICES

On Ethernet and WLAN, NAPI is threaded for all queues. This means that the
processing work is not stuck on the CPU that fired the IRQ. Under heavy
load, IRQs get disabled anyway, so it should not matter at all which CPUs
the IRQs fire on.

```
The kernel partition will be replaced with the OpenWrt image, the other
partitions are left untouched.
"Config2" seems to be the config storage used by the stock firmware.
"Private" is a 320kB empty JFFS2 partition that comes with the stock
firmware. One can get a larger space for OpenWrt by merging it with
"Kernel".
OpenWrt flash layout:
```
0x000000000000-0x000000030000 : "u-boot"
0x000000030000-0x000000040000 : "u-boot-env"
0x000000040000-0x000000050000 : "factory"

0x000000060000-0x000000fb0000 : "firmware"
0x000000fb0000-0x000001000000 : "private_stock"
```
The OpenWrt image must have 96 bytes of padding in the header.
MAC addresses on OEM firmware:
| | location on the flash | notes |
|------ |----------------------- |---------- |
| lan (eth2) | factory + 0xe000 | on label |
| wan (eth3) | factory + 0xe006 | |
| 2.4g (rax0) | not on flash | lan + 1 |
| 5g (ra0) | not on flash | lan + 2 |
Mac addresses of the 2.4g and 5g interface are stored as ASCII strings in
the u-boot-env partition, but they are not used. OpenWrt calculates
Wifi Mac addresses based on the LAN Mac.
Flash and test instructions:
Flash the encrypted image (available in the OpenWrt forum) through the
stock D-Dink web interface.
1. Open the case, and solder the 4-pin header near the WAN port.
2. Connect it to a USB-UART TTL (3.3V) adapter, no need to connect VCC.
3. Open a terminal emulator (e.g. `screen /dev/ttyUSB0` on linux) with
the settings mentioned above.
4. Setup a TFTP server on your PC that can serve
`xxx-ramips-mt7621-dlink_dir-853-a1-initramfs-kernel.bin`.
5. Connect any LAN port to your PC and set a static IPv4 address to
192.168.0.101 (netmask 255.255.255.0).
6. Power on the device and keeps pressing 1 until you see the prompt.
7. Use default IP addresses and enter the file name accordingly, then hit
enter.
8. Wait until it boots to OpenWrt, the default IP address is 192.168.1.1,
you need to change your PC network adapter to use DHCP in order to access
LUCI.
9. So far, the OpenWrt runs in RAM and the flash contents are not touched.
You can try OpenWrt without having to overwrite the stock firmware, a
reboot clears all changes.
10. Optionally, backup the stock firmware (the "firmware" partition) in
Luci.
11. To permantly install OpenWrt to the device , click
on "System -> Backup/Flash Firmware" in Luci and flash
`xxx-ramips-mt7621-dlink_dir-853-a1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin`
Known problems:
* WLAN0 defaults to 5G after a fresh installation, to enable 2.4G network,
you need to config it manually in LUCI.
* If you see jffs2 related warnings/errors after updating from the stock
web interface, you need to do a reset in LUCI. The error will be gone after
a cold reboot.

Several devices depend on fw_printenv during sysupgrade. Make sure
it always is present in all images, including initramfs images built
by the buildbots.
