This model, also know as "1&1 HomeServer", shares the same features as 7530.
The vendor firmware has artificial software limitations: only 2 of the 4
LAN-Ports are GBit, and the USB-Host is only v2.0.
With OpenWrt, USB is already working at v3.0.

Google WiFi (codename: Gale) is an IPQ4019-based AP, with 2 Ethernet
ports, 2x2 2.4+5GHz WiFi, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB eMMC, and a USB type C port.
In its stock configuration, it runs a Chromium OS-based system, but you
wouldn't know it, since you can only manage it via a "cloud" +
mobile-app system.
The "v2" label is coded into the bootloader, which prefers the
"google,gale-v2" compatible string. I believe "v1" must have been
pre-release hardware.
Note: this is *not* the Google Nest WiFi, released in 2019.
I include "factory.bin" support, where we generate a GPT-based disk
image with 2 partitions -- a kernel partition (using the custom "Chrome
OS kernel" GUID type) and a root filesystem partition. See below for
flashing instructions.
Sysupgrade is supported via recent emmc_do_upgrade() helper.
This is a subtarget because it enables different features
(FEATURES=boot-part rootfs-part) whose configurations don't make sense
in the "generic" target, and because it builds in a few USB drivers,
which are necessary for installation (installation is performed by
booting from USB storage, and so these drivers cannot be built as
modules, since we need to load modules from USB storage).
Flashing instructions
=====================
Documented here:
https://openwrt.org/inbox/toh/google/google_wifi
Note this requires booting from USB storage.
Features
========
I've tested:
* Ethernet, both WAN and LAN ports
* eMMC
* USB-C (hub, power-delivery, peripherals)
* LED0 (R/G/B)
* WiFi (limited testing)
* SPI flash
* Serial console: once in developer mode, console can be accessed via
the USB-C port with SuzyQable, or other similar "Closed Case
Debugging" tools:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/hdctools/+/master/docs/ccd.md#suzyq-suzyqable
* Sysupgrade
Not tested:
* TPM
Known not working:
* Reboot: this requires some additional TrustZone / SCM
configuration to disable Qualcomm's SDI. I have a proposal upstream,
and based on IRC chats, this might be acceptable with additional DT
logic:
[RFC PATCH] firmware: qcom_scm: disable SDI at boot
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-msm/20200721080054.2803881-1-computersforpeace@gmail.com/
* SMP: enabling secondary CPUs doesn't currently work using the stock
bootloader, as the qcom_scm driver assumes newer features than this
TrustZone firmware has. I posted notes here:
[RFC] qcom_scm: IPQ4019 firmware does not support atomic API?
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-msm/20200913201608.GA3162100@bDebian/
* There's a single external button, and a few useful internal GPIO
switches. I haven't hooked them up.
The first two are fixed with subsequent commits.
Additional notes
================
Much of the DTS is pulled from the Chrome OS kernel 3.18 branch, which
the manufacturer image uses.
Note: the manufacturer bootloader knows how to patch in calibration data
via the wifi{0,1} aliases in the DTB, so while these properties aren't
present in the DTS, they are available at runtime:
# ls -l
/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/soc/wifi@a*/qcom,ath10k-pre-calibration-data
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 12064 Jul 15 19:11 /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/soc/wifi@a000000/qcom,ath10k-pre-calibration-data
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 12064 Jul 15 19:11 /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/soc/wifi@a800000/qcom,ath10k-pre-calibration-data
Ethernet MAC addresses are similarly patched in via the ethernet{0,1} aliases.

See firmware-utils.git commits [1], which implemented the cros-vbutil
verified-boot payload-packing tool, and extended ptgen for the CrOS
kernel partition type. With these, it's now possible to package kernel +
rootfs to make disk images that can boot a Chrome OS-based system (e.g.,
Chromebooks, or even a few AP models).
Regarding PARTUUID= changes: Chromium bootloaders work well with a
partition number offset (i.e., relative to the kernel partition), so
we'll be using a slightly different root UUID line.
NB: I've made this support specific to ip40xx for now, because I only
plan to support an IPQ4019-based AP that uses a Chromium-based
bootloader, but this image format can be used for essentially any
Chromebook, as well as the Google OnHub, a prior Chromium-based AP using
an IPQ8064 chipset.

with current images, the device is no longer booting.
It gets stuck in the bootloader with "Config not available"
and drops to the uboot shell.
|flash_type: 0
|Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0
|SF: Detected MX25L12805D with page size 4 KiB, total 16 MiB
|Config not availabale
|(IPQ40xx) #
This is because the default bootcmd "bootipq" will only read
the first four MiB of the kernel image. With 5.10 the gzip'd
kernel is slightly larger. So the part of the FIT image which
had the configuration is cut off. Hence it can't find it.
To update the bootcmd, you have to attach the serial console
again and enter the following commands into the boot prompt:
# setenv bootcmd "sf probe; sf read 84000000 180000 600000; bootm"
# saveenv
# run bootcmd
This will allow booting kernels with up to six MiB. This also
allows us to drop the DEVICE_DTS_CONFIG hack we had to use.

uboot doesn't support LZMA. It fails with:

Label MAC address is from eth0.
The LED/GPIO controller needs a separate kernel driver to function.
The driver was extracted from the Teltonika GPL sources and can be
found at following feed: https://github.com/0xFelix/teltonika-rutx-openwrt
USB detection of the bluetooth interface is sometimes a bit flaky. When
not detected power cycle the device. When the bluetooth interface was
detected properly it can be used with bluez / bluetoothctl.
Flash instructions via stock web interface (sysupgrade based):
1. Set PC to fixed ip address 192.168.1.100
2. Push reset button and power on the device
3. Open u-boot HTTP recovery at http://192.168.1.1
4. Upload latest stock firmware and wait until the device is rebooted
5. Open stock web interface at http://192.168.1.1
6. Set some password so the web interface is happy
7. Go to firmware upgrade settings
8. Choose

1. Set PC to fixed ip address 192.168.1.100
2. Push reset button and power on the device
3. Open u-boot HTTP recovery at http://192.168.1.1
4. Upload latest stock firmware and wait until the device is rebooted
Note: The DTS expects OpenWrt to be running from the second rootfs
partition. u-boot on these devices hot-patches the DTS so running from the
first rootfs partition should also be possible. If you want to be save follow
the instructions above. u-boot HTTP recovery restores the device so that when
flashing OpenWrt from stock firmware it is flashed to the second rootfs
partition and the DTS matches.

About the 128MiB variant: The stock bootloader sets size of nand to 64MiB.
But most of this devices have 128MiB nand. If you want to use all 128MiB,
you need to modify the `MIBIB` data of bootloader. More details can be

Installation

These routers have a dual partition system. However this firmware works
only on boot partition 1 and the OEM web interface will always flash on
the partition currently not booted.
The following steps will use the SRS60 firmware, but you have to chose
the right firmware for your router.
There are 2 ways to install Openwrt the first time:
1) Using NMRPflash
1. Download nmrpflash (https://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflash)
2. Put the openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_srs60-squashfs-factory.img
file in the same folder of the nmrpflash executable
3. Connect your pc to the router using the port near the power button.
4. Run "nmrpflash -i XXX -f openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_srs60-squashfs-factory.img".
Replace XXX with your network interface (can be identified by
running "nmrpflash -L")
5. Power on the router and wait for the flash to complete. After about
a minute the router should boot directly to Openwrt. If nothing
happens try to reboot the router. If you have problems flashing
try to set "10.164.183.253" as your computer IP address
2) Without NMRPflash
The OEM web interface will always flash on the partition currently not
booted, so to flash OpenWrt for the first time you have to switch to
boot partition 2 and then flash the factory image directly from the OEM
web interface.
To switch on partition 2 you have to enable telnet first:
1. Go to http://192.168.1.250/debug.htm and check "Enable Telnet".
2. Connect through telent ("telnet 192.168.1.250") and login using
admin/password.
To read the current boot_part:
artmtd -r boot_part
To write the new boot_part:
artmtd -w boot_part 02
Then reboot the router and then check again the current booted
partition
Now that you are on boot partition 2 you can flash the factory Openwrt
image directly from the OEM web interface.
Restore OEM Firmware
--------------------
1. Download the stock firmware from official netgear support.
2. Follow the nmrpflash procedure like above, using the official
Netgear firmware (for example SRS60-V2.2.1.210.img)
nmrpflash -i XXX -f SRS60-V2.2.1.210.img
Notes
-----
1) You can check and edit the boot partition in the Uboot shell using
the UART connection.
"boot_partition_show" shows the current boot partition
"boot_partition_set 1" sets the current boot partition to 1

In the "ipq40xx: switch to Kernel 5.10" discussion at GitHub,
Adrian noted [0] that these GL.iNet Conexa series devices,
GL-B1300 and GL-S1300 failed their image generation [1] as their gzipped
uImage kernel went above 4096k.
While notifying the vendor about this problem [2], I tested all U-Boot
releases from GL.iNet:
- they really fail to boot kernel above 4096k
- they don't support lzma: "Unimplemented compression type 3"
- but they boot zImage
Using zImage (xz compression) the kernel is 2909k which is
more than a megabyte away from the KERNEL_SIZE := 4096k limit.
The gzip compressed version would be 4116k.

When support for Luma WRTQ-329ACN was added, the instructions for
flashing this device include using tools from uboot-envtools package.
Unfortunately the OpenWrt buildroot system omits packages from
DEVICE_PACKAGES when CONFIG_TARGET_MULTI_PROFILE,
CONFIG_TARGET_PER_DEVICE_ROOTFS, CONFIG_TARGET_ALL_PROFILES are set. In
result the official images are without tools mentioned in the
instruction. The workoround for the fashing would be installing
uboot-envtools when booted with initramfs image, but not always the
access to internet is available. The other method would be to issue the
necesary command in U-Boot environment but some serial terminals default
configuration don't work well with pasting lines longer than 80 chars.
Therefore add uboot-envtools to default packages, which adds really
small flash footprint to rootfs, where increased size usually is not an
issue.

The Serial settings are 115200-8-N-1.
Installation via Stock Web Interface:
BTW: The default factory console/web interface login user/password are
admin/password.
In the web interface navigating to Management - Maintenance - Upgrade -
'Firmware Upgrade' will show you what is currently installed e.g.:
Manage Firmware
Current Firmware Version: V5.0.10.2
Backup Firmware Version: V1.2.5.11
Under 'Upgrade Options' choose Local (alternatively SFTP would be
available) then click/select 'Browse File' on the right side, choose
openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_wac510-squashfs-nand-factory.tar
and hit the Upgrade button below. After a minute or two your browser
should indicate completion printing 'Firmware update complete.' and
'Rebooting AP...'.
Note that OpenWrt will use the WAN PoE port as actual WAN port
defaulting to DHCP client but NOT allowing LuCI access, use LAN port
defaulting to 192.168.1.1/24 to access LuCI.
Installation via TFTP Requiring Serial U-Boot Access:
Connect to the device's serial port and hit any key to stop autoboot.
Upload and boot the initramfs based OpenWrt image as follows:
(IPQ40xx) # setenv serverip 192.168.1.1
(IPQ40xx) # setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.2
(IPQ40xx) # tftpboot openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_wac510-initramfs-fit-uImage.itb
(IPQ40xx) # bootm
Note: This only runs OpenWrt from RAM and has not installed anything
to flash as of yet. One may permanently install OpenWrt as follows:
Check the MTD device number of the active partition:
root@OpenWrt:/# dmesg | grep 'set to be root filesystem'
[ 1.010084] mtd: device 9 (rootfs) set to be root filesystem
Upload the factory image ending with .ubi to /tmp (e.g. using scp or
tftp). Then flash the image as follows (substituting the 9 in mtd9
below with whatever number reported above):
root@OpenWrt:/# ubiformat /dev/mtd9 -f /tmp/openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_wac510-squashfs-nand-factory.ubi
And reboot.
Dual Image Configuration:
The default U-Boot boot command bootipq uses the U-Boot environment
variables primary/secondary to decide which image to boot. E.g.
primary=0, secondary=3800000 uses rootfs while primary=3800000,
secondary=0 uses rootfs_1.
Switching their values changes the active partition. E.g. from within
U-Boot:
(IPQ40xx) # setenv primary 0
(IPQ40xx) # setenv secondary 3800000
(IPQ40xx) # saveenv
Or from a OpenWrt userspace serial/SSH console:
fw_setenv primary 0
fw_setenv secondary 3800000
Note that if you install two copies of OpenWrt then each will have its
independent configuration not like when switching partitions on the
stock firmware.
BTW: The kernel log shows which boot partition is active:
[ 2.439050] ubi0: attached mtd9 (name "rootfs", size 56 MiB)
vs.
[ 2.978785] ubi0: attached mtd10 (name "rootfs_1", size 56 MiB)
Note: After 3 failed boot attempts it automatically switches partition.

The bootloader of many ipq40xx boards seems to require the config node
of the FIT image to be 'config@1' (or a secific different value).
This requirement used to be implicitely satisfied because OpenWrt used
to also call the configuration node inside a FIT image 'config@1'.
However, as recent U-Boot now prohibits the use of the '@' symbol as
part of node names, this was changed by
commit 5ec60cbe9d ("scripts: mkits.sh: replace @ with - in nodes")
Explicitely restore the default name of the configuration node to
'config@1' on ipq40xx.

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))
(Though this is not precisely an achievement of this commit.)

To modify a retail device to run OpenWRT firmware:
1) Setup a TFTP server on IP address 192.168.0.100 and copy the OpenWRT
initramfs (initramfs-fit-uImage.itb) to the TFTP root as 'uploadfile'.
2) Power on the device while pressing the recessed reset button next to
the Ethernet ports. This causes the bootloader to retrieve and start
the initramfs.
3) Once the initramfs is booted, the device will come up with IP
192.168.1.1. You can then connect through SSH (allow some time for
the first connection).
4) On the device shell, run 'fw_printenv' to show the U-boot environment.
Backup this information since it contains device unique factory data.
5) Change the boot command to support booting OpenWRT:
# fw_setenv bootcmd 'sf probe && sf read 0x84000000 0x180000 0x400000 && bootm'
6) Change directory to /tmp, download the sysupgrade (e.g. through wget)
and install it with sysupgrade. The device will reboot into OpenWRT.
Notice that there is currently no support for booting the G.hn chip.
This requires userland software we lack the rights to share right now.

Luma Home WRTQ-329ACN, also known as Luma WiFi System, is a dual-band
wireless access point.
Specification
SoC: Qualcomm Atheros IPQ4018
RAM: 256 MB DDR3
Flash: 2 MB SPI NOR
128 MB SPI NAND
WIFI: 2.4 GHz 2T2R integrated
5 GHz 2T2R integrated
Ethernet: 2x 10/100/1000 Mbps QCA8075
USB: 1x 2.0
Bluetooth: 1x 4.0 CSR8510 A10, connected to USB bus
LEDS: 16x multicolor LEDs ring, controlled by MSP430G2403 MCU
Buttons: 1x GPIO controlled
EEPROM: 16 Kbit, compatible with AT24C16
UART: row of 4 holes marked on PCB as J19, starting count from the side
of J19 marking on PCB
1. GND, 2. RX, 3. TX, 4. 3.3V
baud: 115200, parity: none, flow control: none
The device supports OTA or USB flash drive updates, unfotunately they
are signed. Until the signing key is known, the UART access is mandatory
for installation. The difficult part is disassembling the casing, there
are a lot of latches holding it together.
Teardown
Prepare three thin, but sturdy, prying tools. Place the device with back
of it facing upwards. Start with the wall having a small notch. Insert
first tool, until You'll feel resistance and keep it there. Repeat the
procedure for neighbouring walls. With applying a pressure, one edge of
the back cover should pop up. Now carefully slide one of the tools to
free the rest of the latches.
There's no need to solder pins to the UART holes, You can use hook clips,
but wiring them outside the casing, will ease debuging and recovery if
problems occur.
Installation
1. Prepare TFTP server with OpenWrt initramfs image.
2. Connect to UART port (don't connect the voltage pin).
3. Connect to LAN port.
4. Power on the device, carefully observe the console output and when
asked quickly enter the failsafe mode.
5. Invoke 'mount_root'.
6. After the overlayfs is mounted run:
fw_setenv bootdelay 3
This will allow to access U-Boot shell.
7. Reboot the device and when prompted to stop autoboot, hit any key.
8. Adjust "ipaddr" and "serverip" addresses in U-Boot environment, use
'setenv' to do that, then run following commands:
tftpboot 0x84000000 <openwrt_initramfs_image_name>
bootm 0x84000000
and wait till OpenWrt boots.
9. In OpenWrt command line run following commands:
fw_setenv openwrt "setenv mtdids nand1=spi_nand; setenv mtdparts mtdparts=spi_nand:-(ubi); ubi part ubi; ubi read 0x84000000 kernel; bootm 0x84000000"
fw_setenv bootcmd "run openwrt"
10. Transfer OpenWrt sysupgrade image to /tmp directory and flash it
with:
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs
sysupgrade -v -n /tmp/<openwrt_sysupgrade_image_name>
11. After flashing, the access point will reboot to OpenWrt, then it's
ready for configuration.
Reverting to OEM firmware
1. Execute installation guide steps: 1, 2, 3, 7, 8.
2. In OpenWrt command line run following commands:
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs_data
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
ubirename /dev/ubi0 kernel1 kernel ubi_rootfs1 ubi_rootfs
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -S 34 -N kernel1
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -S 320 -N ubi_rootfs1
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -S 264 -N rootfs_data
fw_setenv bootcmd bootipq
3. Reboot.
Known issues
The LEDs ring doesn't have any dedicated driver or application to control
it, the only available option atm is to manipulate it with 'i2cset'
command. The default action after applying power to device is spinning
blue light. This light will stay active at all time. To disable it
install 'i2c-tools' with opkg and run:
i2cset -y 2 0x48 3 1 0 0 i
The light will stay off until next cold boot.
Additional information
After completing 5. step from installation guide, one can disable asking
for root password on OEM firmware by running:
sed -e 's/root❌/root::/' -i /etc/passwd
This is useful for investigating the OEM firmware. One can look
at the communication between the stock firmware and the vendor's
cloud servers or as a way of making a backup of both flash chips.
The root password seems to be constant across all sold devices.
This is output of 'led_ctl' from OEM firmware to illustrate
possibilities of LEDs ring:
Usage: led_ctl [status | upgrade | force_upgrade | version]
led_ctl solid COLOR <brightness>
led_ctl single COLOR INDEX <brightness 0 - 15>
led_ctl spinning COLOR <period 1 - 16 (lower = faster)>
led_ctl fill COLOR <period 1 - 16 (lower = faster)>
( default is 5 )
led_ctl flashing COLOR <on dur 1 - 128> <off dur 1 - 128>
(default is 34) ( default is 34 )
led_ctl pulsing COLOR
COLOR: red, green, blue, yellow, purple, cyan, white
