The image build process was modifying the generated IMAGE_KERNEL to
append rootfs information (crc). This caused:
- sysupgrade & factory images to contain 2 times the root.squashfs
information due to both modifying the same IMAGE_KERNEL.
- the generated imagebuilder to contain an erroneous IMAGE_KERNEL that
contained references to an unexisting root.squashfs (the one from
previous cause). The RTL30VW wasn't therefore able to boot the
generated images as they contained checksums from non existing rootfs.
This commit makes sure to use a temporary IMAGE_KERNEL to append the
rootfs information for both factory and sysupgrade images.

Pakedge WR-1 is a dual-band wireless router.
Specification
SoC: Qualcomm Atheros IPQ4018
RAM: 256 MB DDR3
Flash: 32 MB SPI NOR
WIFI: 2.4 GHz 2T2R integrated
5 GHz 2T2R integrated
Ethernet: 5x 10/100/1000 Mbps QCA8075
USB: 1x 2.0
LEDS: 8x (3 GPIO controlled, 5 connected to switch)
Buttons: 1x GPIO controlled
UART: pin header J5
1. 3.3V, 2. GND, 3. TX, 4. RX
baud: 115200, parity: none, flow control: none
Installation
1. Rename initramfs image to:
openwrt-ipq806x-qcom-ipq40xx-ap.dk01.1-c1-fit-uImage-initramfs.itb
and copy it to USB flash drive with FAT32 file system.
2. Connect USB flash drive to the router and apply power while pressing
reset button. Hold the button, on the lates bootloader version, when
Power and WiFi-5 LEDs will start blinking release it. For the older
bootloader holding it for 15 seconds should suffice.
3. Now the router boots the initramfs image, at some point (close to one
minute) the Power LED will start blinking, when stops, router is fully
booted.
4. Connect to one of LAN ports and use SSH to open the shell at
192.168.1.1.
5. ATTENTION! now backup the mtd8 and mtd9 partitions, it's necessary if,
at some point, You want to go back to original firmware. The firmware
provided by manufacturer on its site is encrypted and U-Boot accepts
only decrypted factory images, so there's no way to restore original
firmware.
6. If the backup is prepared, transfer the sysupgrade image to the router
and use 'sysupgrade' command to flash it.
7. After successful flashing router will reboot. At some point the Power
LED will start blinking, wait till it stops, then router is ready for
configuration.

U-Boot command line is password protected. Password is unknown.

$ saveenv
4. Download the OpenWrt initramfs image. Serve it using a TFTP server as
"openwrt-3915.bin" at 192.1681.66.
5. Download & boot the OpenWrt initramfs image on the access point.
$ run ramboot_openwrt
6. Wait for OpenWrt to start.
7. Download and transfer the sysupgrade image to the device using e.g.
SCP.
8. Install OpenWrt to the device using "sysupgrade"
$ sysupgrade -n /path/to/openwrt.bin

Adjusting dts will cause a rebuild of whole kernel as the buildroot
considers this a part of kernel source. It's a royal PITA when trying to
prepare support for new device, since this takes a lot of time on slower
systems. As it stands, buildroot itself, with own rule, also compiles
dtbs and the results are $(KDIR)/image-$(DEVICE_DTS).dtb. With setting
DEVICE_DTS_DIR to directory holding the device dts (similarly to some
other targets), buildroot doesn't consider changed dts as part of kernel
source and rebuilds only dtb. This really speeds up development. And
since the kernel built dts are no longer used, drop the paches adding
dtses to its build.

The MikroTik wAP ac (RBwAPG-5HacD2HnD) is a dual-band dual-radio
802.11ac wireless access point with integrated antenna and two Ethernet
ports in a weatherproof enclosure. See
https://mikrotik.com/product/wap_ac for more information.
Important: this is the new ipq40xx-based wAP ac, not the older
ath79-based wAP ac (RBwAPG-5HacT2HnD), already supported in OpenWrt.
Specifications:
- SoC: Qualcomm Atheros IPQ4018
- CPU: 4x ARM Cortex A7
- RAM: 128MB
- Storage: 16MB NOR flash
- Wireless
- 2.4GHz: Built-in IPQ4018 (SoC) 802.11b/g/n 2x2:2, 2.5 dBi antennae
- 5GHz: Built-in IPQ4018 (SoC) 802.11a/n/ac 2x2:2, 2.5 dBi antennae
- Ethernet: Built-in IPQ4018 (SoC, QCA8075), 2x 1000/100/10Mb/s ports,
one with 802.3af/at PoE in
Installation:
Boot the initramfs image via TFTP, then flash the sysupgrade image using
sysupgrade. Details at https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/common.
Notes:
This preserves the MAC addresses of the physical Ethernet ports:
- eth0 corresponds to the physical port labeled ETH1 and has the base
MAC address. This port can be used to power the device.
- eth1 corresponds to the physical port labeled ETH2 and has a MAC
address one greater than the base.
MAC addresses are set from /lib/preinit/05_set_iface_mac_ipq40xx.sh
rather than /etc/board.d/02_network so that they are in effect for
preinit. This should likely be done for other MikroTik devices and
possibly other non-MikroTik devices as well.
As this device has 2 physical ports, they are each connected to their
respective PHYs, allowing the link status to be visible to software.
Since they are not marked on the case with any role (such as LAN or
WAN), both are bridged to the lan network by default, although this can
easily be changed if needed.

Notes
-----
There does not appear to be a way to trigger TFTP recovery without entering
U-Boot. The device must be opened to access the serial console in order to
first flash OpenWrt onto a device from factory.
The device has automatic recovery backed by a second set of partitions on
the larger of the two SPI flash ICs. Both the primary and secondary must
be flashed to prevent accidental rollback to "factory" after 3 failed boot
attempts.
Serial console
--------------
A serial console is available on the following pins of the populated J2
connector on the device mainboard (115200 8n1).

-------------------------
1. Setup TFTP server with server IP set to 192.168.1.236.
2. Copy compiled `...squashfs-factory.bin` to `nodes-jr.img` in tftp root.
3. Connect to console using pinout detailed in the serial console section.
4. Power on device and press enter when prompted to drop into U-Boot.
5. Flash first partition device via `run flashimg`.
6. Once complete, reset device and allow to power up completely.
7. Once comfortable with device upgrade reboot and drop back into U-Boot.
8. Flash the second partition (recovery) via `run flashimg2`.
Revert to "factory"

4. Power on device and press enter when prompted to drop into U-Boot.

Avoid shipping ath10k board file in Mikrotik initram images
Most will only ever need to use these initram images once—to initially
load OpenWrt, but fix these images for more consistent Wi-Fi performance
between the initram and installed squashfs images.
OpenWrt BUILDBOT config ignores -cut packages in the initram images build.
This results in BUILDBOT initram images including the linux-firmware
qca4019 board-2.bin, and (initram image booted) Mikrotik devices loading
a generic BDF, rather than the intended BDF data loaded
from NOR as an api 1 board_file.
