FCC ID: A8J-ESR1750
Engenius ESR1750 is an indoor wireless router with
a gigabit ethernet switch, dual-band wireless,
internal antenna plates, and a USB 2.0 port
**Specification:**
- QCA9558 SOC 2.4 GHz, 3x3
- QCA9880 WLAN PCIe mini card, 5 GHz, 3x3
- QCA8337N SW 4 ports LAN, 1 port WAN
- 40 MHz clock
- 16 MB FLASH MX25L12845EMI-10G
- 2x 64 MB RAM
- UART at J1 populated, RX grounded
- 6 internal antenna plates (omni-directional)
- 5 LEDs, 1 button (power, 2G, 5G, WAN, WPS) (reset)
**MAC addresses:**
Base MAC address labeled as "MAC ADDRESS"
MAC "wanaddr" is similar to "ethaddr"
eth0 *:58 MAC u-boot-env ethaddr
phy0 *:58 MAC u-boot-env ethaddr
phy1 *:59 --- u-boot-env ethaddr +1
WAN *:10:58 u-boot-env wanaddr
**Serial Access:**
RX 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
**Installation:**
Method 1: Firmware upgrade page
NOTE: ESR1750 might require the factory.bin
for ESR1200 instead, OEM provides 1 image for both.
OEM webpage at 192.168.0.1
username and password "admin"
Navigate to Settings (gear icon) --> Tools --> Firmware
select the factory.bin image
confirm and wait 3 minutes
Method 2: TFTP recovery
Follow TFTP instructions using initramfs.bin
use sysupgrade.bin to flash using openwrt web interface
**Return to OEM:**
MTD partitions should be backed up before flashing
using TFTP to boot openwrt without overwriting flash
Alternatively, it is possible to edit OEM firmware images
to flash MTD partitions in openwrt to restore OEM firmware
by removing the OEM header and writing the rest to "firmware"
**TFTP recovery:**
Requires serial console, reset button does nothing at boot
rename initramfs.bin to 'uImageESR1200'
make available on TFTP server at 192.168.99.8
power board, interrupt boot by pressing '4' rapidly
execute tftpboot and bootm
**Note on ETH switch registers**
Registers must be written to the ethernet switch
in order to set up the switch's MAC interface.
U-boot can write the registers on it's own
which is needed, for example, in a TFTP transfer.
The register bits from OEM for the QCA8337 switch
can be read from interrupted boot (tftpboot, bootm)
by adding print lines in the switch driver ar8327.c
before 'qca,ar8327-initvals' is parsed from DTS and written.
for example:
pr_info("0x04 %08x\n", ar8xxx_read(priv, AR8327_REG_PAD0_MODE));

Fortinet FAP-221-B is an indoor access point with
1 Gb ethernet port, dual-band wireless,
internal antenna plates, and 802.3at PoE+
Hardware and board design from Senao
**Specification:**
- AR9344 SOC 2G 2x2, 5G 2x2, 25 MHz CLK
- AR9382 WLAN 2G 2x2 PCIe, 40 MHz CLK
- AR8035-A PHY RGMII, PoE+ IN, 25 MHz CLK
- 16 MB FLASH MX25L12845EMI-10G
- 2x 32 MB RAM W9725G6JB-25
- UART at J11 populated, 9600 baud
- 6 LEDs, 1 button power, ethernet, wlan, reset
Note: ethernet LEDs are not enabled
because a new netifd hotplug is required
in order to operate like OEM.
Board has 1 amber and 1 green
for each of the 3 case viewports.
**MAC addresses:**
1 MAC Address in flash at end of uboot
ASCII encoded, no delimiters
Labeled as "MAC Address" on case
OEM firmware sets offsets 1 and 8 for wlan
eth0 *:1e uboot 0x3ff80
phy0 *:1f uboot 0x3ff80 +1
phy1 *:26 uboot 0x3ff80 +8
**Serial Access:**
Pinout: (arrow) VCC GND RX TX
Pins are populated with a header and traces not blocked.
Bootloader is set to 9600 baud, 8 data, 1 stop.
**Console Access:**
Bootloader:
Interrupt boot with Ctrl+C
Press "k" and enter password "1"
OR
Hold reset button for 5 sec during power on
Interrupt the TFTP transfer with Ctrl+C
to print commands available, enter "help"
OEM:
default username is "admin", password blank
telnet is available at default address 192.168.1.2
serial is available with baud 9600
to print commands available, enter "help"
or tab-tab (busybox list of commands)
**Installation:**
Use factory.bin with OEM upgrade procedures
OR
Use initramfs.bin with uboot TFTP commands.
Then perform a sysupgrade with sysupgrade.bin
**TFTP Recovery:**
Using serial console, load initramfs.bin using TFTP
to boot openwrt without touching the flash.
TFTP is not reliable due to bugged bootloader,
set MTU to 600 and try many times.
If your TFTP server supports setting block size,
higher block size is better.
Splitting the file into 1 MB parts may be necessary
example:
$ tftpboot 0x80100000 image1.bin
$ tftpboot 0x80200000 image2.bin
$ tftpboot 0x80300000 image3.bin
$ tftpboot 0x80400000 image4.bin
$ tftpboot 0x80500000 image5.bin
$ tftpboot 0x80600000 image6.bin
$ bootm 0x80100000
**Return to OEM:**
The best way to return to OEM firmware
is to have a copy of the MTD partitions
before flashing Openwrt.
Backup copies should be made of partitions
"fwconcat0", "loader", and "fwconcat1"
which together is the same flash range
as OEM's "rootfs" and "uimage"
by loading an initramfs.bin
and using LuCI to download the mtdblocks.
It is also possible to extract from the
OEM firmware upgrade image by splitting it up
in parts of lengths that correspond
to the partitions in openwrt
and write them to flash,
after gzip decompression.
After writing to the firmware partitions,
erase the "reserved" partition and reboot.
**OEM firmware image format:**
Images from Fortinet for this device
ending with the suffix .out
are actually a .gz file
The gzip metadata stores the original filename
before compression, which is a special string
used to verify the image during OEM upgrade.
After gzip decompression, the resulting file
is an exact copy of the MTD partitions
"rootfs" and "uimage" combined in the same order and size
that they appear in /proc/mtd and as they are on flash.
OEM upgrade is performed by a customized busybox
with the command "upgrade".
Another binary, "restore"
is a wrapper for busybox's "tftp" and "upgrade".

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
option device 'switch0'
option vlan '1'
option ports '1 0t'
config switch_vlan
option device 'switch0'

2.4GHz *:3c uboot-env ethaddr
5GHz *:3d uboot-env ethaddr + 1
The label contains all four MAC addresses, however the one without
increment is first, so this one is taken for label MAC address.
Notes:
The Wifi is controlled by an on/off button, i.e. has to be implemented
by a switch (EV_SW). Despite, it appears that GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH needs
to be used, just like recently fixed for the NBG6716.
Both parameters have been wrong at ar71xx.
Flash Instructions:
At first the U-Boot variables need to be changed in order to boot the
new combined image format. ZyXEL uses a split kernel + root setup and
the current kernel is too large to fit into the partition. As resizing
didnt do the trick, I've decided to use the prefered combined image
approach to be future-kernel-enlargement-proof (thanks to blocktrron for
the assistance).
First add a new variable called boot_openwrt:
setenv boot_openwrt bootm 0x9F120000
After that overwrite the bootcmd and save the environment:
setenv bootcmd run boot_openwrt
saveenv
After that you can flash the openwrt factory image via TFTP. The servers
IP has to be 192.168.1.33. Connect to one of the LAN ports and hold the
WPS Button while booting. After a few seconds the NBG6616 will look for
a image file called 'ras.bin' and flash it.
Return to vendor firmware is possible by resetting the bootcmd:
setenv bootcmd run boot_flash
saveenv
and flashing the vendor image via the TFTP method as described above.
Accessing the U-Boot Shell:
ZyXEL uses a proprietary loader/shell on top of u-boot: "ZyXEL zloader v2.02"
When the device is starting up, the user can enter the the loader shell
by simply pressing a key within the 3 seconds once the following string
appears on the serial console:
| Hit any key to stop autoboot: 3
The user is then dropped to a locked shell.
| NBG6616> ?
| ATEN x,(y) set BootExtension Debug Flag (y=password)
| ATSE x show the seed of password generator
| ATSH dump manufacturer related data in ROM
| ATRT (x,y,z,u) ATRT RAM read/write test (x=level, y=start addr, z=end addr, u=iterations
| ATGO boot up whole system
| ATUR x upgrade RAS image (filename)
In order to escape/unlock a password challenge has to be passed.
Note: the value is dynamic! you have to calculate your own!
First use ATSE $MODELNAME (MODELNAME is the hostname in u-boot env)
to get the challange value/seed.
| NBG6616> ATSE NBG6616
| 00C91D7EAC3C
This seed/value can be converted to the password with the help of this
bash script (Thanks to http://www.adslayuda.com/Zyxel650-9.html authors):
- tool.sh -
ror32() {
echo $(( ($1 >> $2) | (($1 << (32 - $2) & (2**32-1)) ) ))
}
v="0x$1"
a="0x${v:2:6}"
b=$(( $a + 0x10F0A563))
c=$(( 0x${v:12:14} & 7 ))
p=$(( $(ror32 $b $c) ^ $a ))
printf "ATEN 1,%X\n" $p
- end of tool.sh -
| # bash ./tool.sh 00C91D7EAC3C
| ATEN 1,10FDFF5
Copy and paste the result into the shell to unlock zloader.
| NBG6616> ATEN 1,10FDFF5
If the entered code was correct the shell will change to
use the ATGU command to enter the real u-boot shell.
| NBG6616> ATGU

Installation
------------
1. Download the OpenWrt initramfs-image. Place it into a TFTP server
root directory and rename it to 1401A8C0.img. Configure the TFTP
server to listen at 192.168.1.66/24.
2. Connect the TFTP server to the access point.
3. Connect to the serial console of the access point. Attach power and
interrupt the boot procedure when prompted (bootdelay is 1 second).
4. Configure the U-Boot environment for booting OpenWrt from Ram and
flash:
$ setenv boot_openwrt 'setenv bootargs; bootm 0xbf080000'
$ setenv ramboot_openwrt 'setenv serverip 192.168.1.66;
tftpboot; bootm'
$ saveenv
5. Load OpenWrt into memory:
$ run ramboot_openwrt
Wait for the image to boot.
6. Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the device. Write the image
to flash using sysupgrade:
$ sysupgrade -n /path/to/openwrt-sysuograde.bin

While most of the target's contents are split into subtargets, the
base-files are maintained for the target as a whole.
However, OpenWrt already implements a mechanism that will use (and
even prefer) files in the subtargets' directories. This can be
exploited to make several scripts subtarget-specific and thus save
some space (especially helpful for the tiny devices).
The only script remaining in parent base-files is
/etc/hotplug.d/ieee80211/00-wifi-migration, everything else is
moved/split.
Note that this will increase overall code lines, but reduce code
per subtarget.
base-files ipk size reduction:
master (generic) 49135 B
split (generic) 48533 B (- 0.6 kiB)
split (tiny) 43337 B (- 5.7 kiB)
split (nand) 44423 B (- 4.6 kiB)
Tested on TL-WR1043ND v4 (generic) and TL-WR841N v12 (tiny).
