This is the first commit to introduce the base for the N821 board used
in Cisco vEdge 1000.
This commit does not include the custom CPLD drivers but rather
everything else that is already present in the upstream kernel.
This results in an image that boots, but e.g. the SFP ports are not
usable.
Hardware:
- CPU: Cavium Networks CN6130, 4 cores @ 1.0 GHz
- Flash:
- 16 MiB SPI NOR presented as 2x8 MiB for A/B boot recovery
- 8192 MiB eMMC
- RAM: 4096 MiB
- Ethernet 1Gbit ports: 1x
- Ethernet SFP ports: 8x
- USB ports: 2x 3.0 Type-A on front panel
- Serial: Two, one internal and one external
- JTAG: Yes
- LED count: 18x
- Button count: 1x
- GPIOs: 1x
- Power: 2x redundant DC 12V barrel plug

Using the BOARD_NAME variable results for both er and erlite devices to
identify themselfs as `er` and `erlite` (via `ubus call system board`).
This is problematic when devices search for firmware upgrades since the
OpenWrt profile is actually called `ubnt_edgerouter` and
`ubnt_edgerouter-lite`.
By adding the `SUPPORTED_DEVICE` a mapping is created to point devices
called `er` or `erlite` to the corresponding profile.

one 1000 Mbps SFP port.
SoC: Octeon Cavium 7130 (Cavium 3) at 1000MHz
Memory: 1GiB DDR3
Flash: 2x2M chips with uboots (chainloaded) + 512K eeprom
LEDs: 1x for power status (white/blue, controllable)
and 6x for ethernet and SFP ports (no control over them)
Buttons: 1x Reset
Serial: 1x RJ45 port on front panel. 115200 baud, 8N1
USB: 1x USB3.0 on front panel
MII: 1x QSGMII from SoC
PHY: 1x Vitesse VSC8504 of which 4 ports are used (phys 4-7)
1x Vitesse VSC8514 of which 2 ports are used (phys 8-9)
Network port mapping
- eth0 on device maps to lan0 and phy5
- eth1 on device maps to lan1 and phy6
- eth2 on device maps to lan2 and phy7
- eth3 on device maps to lan3 and phy8
- eth4 on device maps to lan4 and phy9
- eth5 (SFP) on device maps to lan5 and phy4
What is not working:
- There is no port status available before it goes up
- SFP have no additional status and presented as no different from eth
- Power-over-ethernet (passive) support has not been tested
How to flash the firmware:
- copy openwrt-octeon-ubnt_edgerouter-6p-initramfs-kernel.bin and
openwrt-octeon-ubnt_edgerouter-6p-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar to
USB flash drive that is formatted to vfat/fat32
- connect USB flash drive to EdgeRouter 6P front USB port
- connect serial cable using front RJ45 port (115200 baud, 8N1)
- connect power to cable to EdgeRouter 6P
- connect terminal to the console to see uboot boot process
- interrupt boot by pressing button(s) on your keyboard to log
in to the uboot
- detect usb connected flash drives by typing to the console:
usb start
- after drive is detected load initramfs+kernel to the memory by typing:
fatload usb 0:1 0x20000000 openwrt-octeon-ubnt_edgerouter-6p-initramfs-kernel.bin
- after initramfs+kernel is loaded to the memory load it by typing:
bootoctlinux 0 numcores=4 endbootargs mem=0
- boot process should finish and you will be greeted with console
after pressing enter
- create directory to mount usb flash drive to by typing:
mkdir /tmp/sda
- mount flash drive to that directory by typing:
mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/sda
- flash firmware to router internal storage by typing:
sysupgrade /tmp/sda/openwrt-octeon-ubnt_edgerouter-6p-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar
- device will reboot and after it gets up you will have
edgerouter 6p running openwrt

The symbol CONFIG_CAVIUM_CN63XXP1 was disabled during the bump to
4.19 (see Fixes:) with the following reason:
No supported hardware uses CN63XXP1 and it causes "slight decrease
in performance"
However, it later turned out that the edgerouter image needed it,
which led to having the device disabled in [1].
Still, dropping support of a device seems a harsh action for just
removing a "slight" decrease in performance from the other devices.
Thus, this enables CONFIG_CAVIUM_CN63XXP1 again, and essentially
restores the situation present until (including) kernel 4.14 on
this target.
For OpenWrt as a platform, it seems more desirable to support all
devices (and have them tested regularly via the snapshots) in this
case.
Users interested in maximum performance might still just remove
the symbol again in their local build.

Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 4 is 4 port Octeon Cavium 7130 powered router.
It has internal power supply and needs c13 power cord.
There are three 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45/Copper ports and
one 1000 Mbps SFP port connected directly to a SoC.
SoC:
Octeon Cavium 7130 (Cavium 3)
Clocked at 1000Mhz
Memory:
1 GiB (SK hynix H5TQ4G63CFR-RDC × 2)
DDR3, clocked at 533 Mhz (1066Mhz effective)
Flash:
- mtd:
8 MiB (Macronix MX25L6408EMI-12G)
used for uboot/eeprom
- emmc:
4 GiB (SanDisk SDIN7DP2-4G)
used for kernel+rootfs
Leds: 1x for power status (white/blue, controllable)
and 4x for ethernet and sfp ports (no control over them)
Buttons: 1x Reset (from SOC)
Serial: 1x RJ45 port on front panel. 115200 baud, 8N1 (from SoC)
USB: 1x USB3.0 on front panel (from SoC)
MII: 1x QSGMII from SoC is used
PHY: 1x Vitesse VSC8504 of which 4x ports is used
All physical port numbers are properly mapped inside OS and
named by lanX instead of ethX.
There is also special purpose four(4) loopX ports available.
That loopX ports are currently hardcoded by linux kernel
and exact use case of them is currently unknown. We leave them
to the linux kernel and octeon board defaults.
All four (4) physical ports are connected to the same QSGMII.
vsc8504 is used for phys and only 4, 5, 6 and 7 phys are used.
Phy mapping:
- Phy5 is connected to physical eth0 port
- Phy6 is connected to physical eth1 port
- Phy7 is connected to physical eth2 port
- Phy4 is connected to physical eth3 port
Why this device needs external dts:
- faster boot time since need to initialize less device tree nodes.
- to add actual indication with LED about boot/failure/upgrade.
i.e. user could know when to enter failsafe mode or if upgrade is done
- reset button support so user can reset their device in case off failure
- sfp port indication in dmesg with information about sfp module
it also indicates when module inserted or removed
Octeon quirks:
- There is no port status available before it interface brought up
- SFP port can not be tied to actual phy due to octeon-ethernet state
and currently we can only get reports a about SFP state in dmesg
How to flash the firmware:
- copy openwrt-octeon-ubnt_edgerouter-4-initramfs-kernel.bin and
openwrt-octeon-ubnt_edgerouter-4-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar to

This patch disables the image for edgerouter devices by default, since
it isn't able to boot at the moment.
Currently the edgerouter image won't boot. Current kernels have an
option CONFIG_CAVIUM_CN63XXP1 that needs to be enabled for this chip.
If the kernel was compiled without this option, following message is
displayed and the machine reboots:
[ 36.778028] Kernel panic - not syncing: OCTEON II DCache prefetch workaround not in place (cfa0000c).
[ 36.778028] Please build kernel with proper options (CONFIG_CAVIUM_CN63XXP1).
[ 36.794398] Rebooting in 1 seconds..
This was last confirmed on 2020-10-29.
The description of this option states, that enabling it will possibly
cause performance issues on other chips.

This updates the device definition name for octeon target to provide
more useful names for the images and be consistent with the increasing
number of targets following that scheme.
Since the target is not using device tree yet, this does not touch
board_name and thus sets BOARD_NAME in image Makefile to ensure
sysupgrade is still working.
While at it, move Build block before Device blocks and remove trailing
whitespace for CMDLINE.
