Specification:
- MT7986 CPU using 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi (both AX)
- MT7531 switch
- 512MB RAM
- 128MB NAND flash (MX35LF1GE4AB-Z4I) with two UBI partitions with identical size
- 1 multi color LED (red, green, blue, white) connected via GCA230718 (Same as D-Link M30 A1)
- 3 buttons (WPS, reset, LED on/off)
- 1x 2.5 Gbit WAN port with Maxlinear GPY211C
- 4x 1 Gbit LAN ports
Disassembly:
- There are five screws at the bottom: 2 under the rubber feet, 3 under the label.
- After removing the screws, the white plastic part can be shifted out of the blue part.
- Be careful because the antennas are mounted on the side and the top of the white part.
Serial Interface
- The serial interface can be connected to the 4 pin holes next to/under the antenna cables.
- Note that there is another set of 4 pin holes on the side of the board, it's not used.
- Pins (from front to rear):
- 3.3V (do not connect)
- TX
- RX
- GND
- Settings: 115200, 8N1
MAC addresses:
- MAC address is stored in partition "Odm" at offset 0x81 (for example XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:52)
- MAC address on the device label is ODM + 1 (for example XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:53)
- WAN MAC is the one from the ODM partition (for example XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:52)
- LAN MAC is the one from the ODM partition + 1 (for example XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:53)
- WLAN MAC (2.4 GHz) is the one from the ODM partition + 2 (for example (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:54)
- WLAN MAC (5 GHz) is the one from the ODM partition + 5 (for example (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:57)
Flashing via OEM web interface:
- Currently not supported because image crypto is not known
Flashing via recovery web interface:
- This is only working if the first partition is active because recovery images are always flashed to the active partition and OpenWrt can only be executed from the first partition
- Use a Chromium based browser, otherwise firmware upgrade might not work
- Recovery web interface is accessible via 192.168.200.1 after keeping the reset button pressed during start of the device until the LED blinks red
- Upload the recovery image, this will take some time. LED will continue flashing red during the update process
- The after flashing, the recovery web interface redirects to http://192.168.0.1. This can be ignored. OpenWrt is accessible via 192.168.1.1 after flashing
- If the first partition isn't the active partition, OpenWrt will hang during the boot process. In this case:
- Download the recovery image from https://github.com/RolandoMagico/openwrt/releases/tag/M60-Recovery-UBI-Switch (UBI switch image)
- Enable recovery web interface again and load the UBI switch image. This image works on the second partition of the M60
- OpenWrt should boot now as expected. After booting, flash the normal OpenWrt sysupgrade image (for example in the OpenWrt web interface)
- Flashing a sysupgrade image from the UBI switch image will make the first partition the active partition and from now on, default OpenWrt images can be used
Flashing via Initramfs:
- Before switching to OpenWrt, ensure that both partitions contain OEM firmware.
- This can be achieved by re-flashing the same OEM firmware version again via the OEM web interface.
- Flashing via OEM web interface will automatically flash the currently not active partition.
- Open router, connect serial interface
- Start a TFTP server at 192.168.200.2 and provide the initramfs image there
- When starting the router, select "7. Load Image" in U-Boot
- Settings for load address, load method can be kept as they are
- Specify host and router IP address if you use different ones than the default (Router 192.168.200.1, TFTP server 192.168.200.2)
- Enter the file name of the initramfs image
- Confirm "Run loaded data now?" question after loading the image with "Y"
- OpenWrt initramfs will start now
- Before flashing OpenWrt, create a backup of the "ubi" partition. It is required when reverting back to OEM
- Flash sysupgrade image to flash, during flashing the U-Boot variable sw_tryactive will be set to 0
- During next boot, U-Boot tries to boot from the ubi partition. If it fails, it will switch to the ubi1 partition
Reverting back to OEM:
- Boot the initramfs image as described in "Flashing via Initramfs" above
- Copy the backed up ubi partition to /tmp (e.g. by using SCP)
- Write the backup to the UBI partition: mtd write /tmp/OpenWrt.mtd4.ubi.bin /dev/mtd4
- Reboot the device, OEM firmware will start now

The board has been redesigned due to previous hardware bugs
(with other reasons maybe).
Changes in new board:
- Added a gpio beeper
- Added a Atmel i2c eeprom
- Added a Atmel i2c ECC accelerator
- Added a Philips RTC module
- Added two RS485
- Removed WPS button
- Replaced USB3 port with M.2 B-key for LTE modules
- Swapped GbE LEDs gpio
Also assigned wifi mac with nvmem binding, added iface setup for failsafe,
increased phy assert time for rtl8221b, and updated LED labels.
Keeping compatibility for old version is not necessary here as only
few samples were sent to those interested in it.

Sets openwrt,netdev-name for the gmac nodes in the dts of BPI-R4 which
correspond to the two sfp slots. By default they are automatically
named as eth1 and eth2 in bad order, however 'SFP1-WAN' and 'SFP2-LAN'
are printed on the PCB and the official metal case has labels 'SFP-WAN'
and 'SFP-LAN'. Thus, label the ports accordingly to match the
board/case labels.
The COMPAT_VERSION is increased to denote that configuration has to be

router from Yinghua Technologies.
The re-branded device comes with OpenWrt preinstalled, and an OpenWrt-based
U-Boot bootloader version. While the flash layout has been kept compatible
with the OpenWrt version found on the stock device (see [5]), the image format
changed, making a bootloader upgrade necessary.
Specifications:
SoC: Mediatek MT7981BA
RAM: 256MB
Flash: SPI-NOR 32 MiB (Winbond W25Q256)
WLAN: MT7976CN DBDC AX Wi-Fi
Switch: MT7531AE (4x LAN Gigabit ports, 1x WAN Gigabit port)
5G: Quectel RM520N modem
Watchdog: an external WDT connected to GPIO 6 is present and always running;
the built-in Mediatek watchdog is also present and effective, but
not used at the moment.
This porting has been tested only with 1x 5G modems installed (the device
supports up to two).
Installation:
Installation is possible via sysupgrade both in the stock device and
re-branded version. However, in the former case, updating the bootloader is
required.
OpenWrt-based U-Boot Bootloader installation
--------------------------------------------
The firmware flashed in the re-branded device at manifacturing time will
flash an OpenWrt-based U-Boot bootloader with some extra recovery features
(see [1]) at first boot.
To update the bootloader, you need to install the mtd-rw module and
insmod it:
insmod mtd-rw i_want_a_brick=1
Then update relevant flash partitions:
mtd erase u-boot-env
mtd erase BL2
mtd erase FIP
mtd write openwrt-mediatek-filogic-gatonetworks_gdsp-preloader.bin BL2
mtd write openwrt-mediatek-filogic-gatonetworks_gdsp-bl31-uboot.fip FIP
And reboot, making sure all previous commands ran succesfully.
If something goes wrong, you can recover your device via the mtk_uartboot
tool.
In my testing, it was possible to start the process even without (un)-plugging
the device, may be handy for remote recovery.
Installation from stock device and firmware
-------------------------------------------
To install vanilla OpenWrt in the stock device (R5000 5G Industrial router
from Yinghua Technologies) running the stock vendor firmware, you will need
to update your bootloader as described in previous section. Remember to use
-F (force upgrade) and -n (not keeping settings).
U-Boot Recovery
---------------
This procedure has been tested only with the OpenWrt-based U-boot bootloader.
Assign your system static IP address 192.168.1.1 and start a TFTP server. The
device will look for an initramfs image named
openwrt-mediatek-filogic-gatonetworks_gdsp-initramfs-kernel.bin
(so you may use openwrt/bin/targets/mediatek/filogic as root dir for your
TFTP server).
Power on the device while keeping the reset button pressed, until you see
a TFTP request from 192.168.1.10. Your environment will be restored to it's
default state.
MAC addresses assignment
------------------------
MAC addresses are assigned slightly differently than in stock firmware. In
particular, the 5 GHz Wi-Fi uses 2.4 GHZ MAC + 1, rather than reusing it with
LA bit set as done in stock firmware. This MAC address is allocated to the
device, so it can be used.
The 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi MAC address is the label MAC. LAN MAC is used to set the
special U-Boot environment ethaddr variable.
device MAC address U-Boot env variable factory partition offset
2.4 GHz Wi-Fi :84 wifi_mac 0x4
5.8 GHz Wi-Fi :85 not present not present
WAN :86 wan_mac 0x24
LAN :87 lan_mac 0x2A
Notes
-----
[1]: the OpenWrt-based U-Boot bootloader you will find installed in the
re-branded device is configured to request for the initramfs image via
TFTP for $gdsp_tftp_tries times before trying normal boot from NOR flash.
Setting this U-Boot environment variable to 0x0 will disable the feature,
which is not implemented in this patch.
[2]: the exposed UART port is connected to ttyS1; the ttyS0 console port is
not exposed.
[3]: the provided bootloader environment has no provision for operating on
BL2 and the FIP partitions. This is an intentional choice to make it
(slightly) more difficult to brick the device.
[4]: it seems GPIO 6 is used both for the "SYS" LED and external WDT.
[5] BL2 expects to find FIP payload at a fixed offset, so some constraints
apply.

The ImageBuilder when using the profile for the OpenWrt One has been
failing because the initramfs image included in the ubinized image could
not be found.
Fix that by using the staged initramfs instead when using the

Add u-boot support based on the kernel dts introduced in d1016446 and
the GL-MT6000 u-boot support in fe10f974.
The pcie-mediatek-gen3 kernel driver doesn't like hotplug, so to work in
PCIe mode, the 5G modem on this device needs to be switched on by u-boot
before starting the kernel. Include an init_modem step in the boot_system
action to set the relevant gpios. (The factory bootloader does the same,
using Mediatek SDK-specific gpio_power_clr and gpio_pull_up.)
Ideally the modem would be started using gpio-hog in the device tree, but
this will need to wait until mediatek gpio-hog support is fixed upstream:
https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/6ef2583e85eea60560d7776377d662779e7c44e5.1722419839.git.chris@arachsys.com/
The bootloader can be replaced using the built-in web interface of the
factory bootloader. Hold the reset button for five seconds while powering
on the device and it will boot into a recovery http server.
http://192.168.1.1/uboot.html and http://192.168.1.1/bl2.html can then
be used to upload openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-x3000-bl31-uboot.fip
and openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-x3000-preloader.bin respectively.
Alternatively, from a root shell on the running system, unlock the boot
partition with
echo 0 >/sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro
then write openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-x3000-bl31-uboot.fip to
/dev/mmcblk0p4 and openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-x3000-preloader.bin
to /dev/mmcblk0boot0.

Notice: while I was successfull at activating ssh (as described
here:
https://www.lisenet.com/2023/gaining-ssh-access-to-tp-link-re200-wi-fi-range-extender/)
Unfortunately I haven't found the correct root password.
Looks like they are using a static password
(md5crypt, salt + 21 characters) that is not the web
interface admin password.
The TP-LINK RE900XD looks like the very same device,
according to the pictures and the firmware.
But I haven't checked if the OpenWrt firmware works as well
on that device.
The second ubi partition (ubi1) is empty and there is no known
dual-partition mechanism, neither in u-boot nor in the stock firmware.

mt7915e driver supports MT7915 & MT7916 devices and MT7981 & MT7986
on-SoC wireless controllers. Devices based on MT7988 and possibly other
next chipsets are quite unlikely to need it (MT7988 was designed to be
used with MT7996).
Move kmod-mt7915e to DEVICE_PACKAGES of relevant devices.

Solder on UART:
- remove rubber ring on the bottom
- remove screws
- pull up the cylinder, maybe help by push on an ethernet socket with a screwdriver
- remove the (3) screws holding the board in the frame
- remove the board from the frame to get to the screws for the silver, flat heat shield
- remove the (3) screws holding the heat shield
- solder UART pins to the back of the board
- make sure to have the pins point out on side with the black, finned heat spread
- the markings for the pins are going to be below the silver heat shield
- Vcc is not needed
If you don't intend on using the UART outside of the installation process, you might not
want to solder:
- carefully scrape off the thin layer of epoxy on the holes (not the copper)
- place your pin header with the UART attached in the holes
- the pins, starting with the one closest to the socket:
- Vcc (not required)
- GND
- RX
- TX
- either wedge the header or hold it with your fingers so that the pins stay in contact with the board
Installation (UART):
- attach an Ethernet cable to the 1Gbps port (black) on the router
- hold the reset button while powering the router
- press CTRL-C or wait for the timeout to get to the U-Boot prompt
- prepare a TFTP server on the network to supply ..-initramfs-kernel.bin
- use 'tftpboot' in the U-Boot shell to pull the image
- boot the image using 'bootm'
- push the ..-sysupgrade to the router using your preferred method
- perform the upgrade with 'sysupgrade -n'
There is a recovery mechanism that involves fetching a file called 'recovery.bin' but that is not understood yet.

Installation:
The installation must be done via TFTP by disassembling the router. On other occasions Cudy has distributed intermediate firmware to make installation easier, and so I recommend checking the Wiki for this device if there is a more convenient solution than the one below.
To install using TFTP:
1. Connect to UART.
2. With the router off, press the RESET button. While the router is turning on, the button should continue to be pressed for at least 5 seconds.
3. A u-boot shell will automatically open.
4. Connect to LAN and set your IP to 192.168.1.88/24. Configure a TFTP server and an OpenWrt initramfs-kernel.bin firmware file.
5. Run these steps in u-boot using the name of your file.
setenv bootfile initramfs-kernel.bin
tftpboot
bootm
6. If you can reach LuCI or SSH now, just use the sysupgrade image with the 'Keep settings' option turned off.

Specification:
- MT7981 CPU using 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi (both AX)
- MT7531 switch
- 512MB RAM
- 128MB NAND flash with two UBI partitions with identical size
- 1 multi color LED (red, green, blue, white) connected via GCA230718
- 3 buttons (WPS, reset, LED on/off)
- 1 1Gbit WAN port
- 4 1Gbit LAN ports
Disassembly:
- There are four screws at the bottom: 2 under the rubber feets, 2 under the label.
- After removing the screws, the white plastic part can be shifted out of the blue part.
- Be careful because the antennas are mounted on the side and the top of the white part.
Serial Interface
- The serial interface can be connected to the 4 pin holes on the side of the board.
- Pins (from front to rear):
- 3.3V
- RX
- TX
- GND
- Settings: 115200, 8N1
MAC addresses:
- WAN MAC is stored in partition "Odm" at offset 0x81
- LAN (as printed on the device) is WAN MAC + 1
- WLAN MAC (2.4 GHz) is WAN MAC + 2
- WLAN MAC (5GHz) is WAN MAC + 3
Flashing via Recovery Web Interface:
- The recovery web interface always flashes to the currently active partition.
- If OpenWrt is flahsed to the second partition, it will not boot.
- Ensure that you have an OEM image available (encrypted and decrypted version). Decryption is described in the end.
- Set your IP address to 192.168.200.10, subnetmask 255.255.255.0
- Press the reset button while powering on the device
- Keep the reset button pressed until the LED blinks red
- Open a Chromium based and goto http://192.168.200.1 (recovery web interface)
- Download openwrt-mediatek-filogic-dlink_aquila-pro-ai-m30-a1-squashfs-recovery.bin
- The recovery web interface always reports successful flashing, even if it fails
- After flashing, the recovery web interface will try to forward the browser to 192.168.0.1 (can be ignored)
- If OpenWrt was flashed to the first partition, OpenWrt will boot (The status LED will start blinking white and stay white in the end). In this case you're done and can use OpenWrt.
- If OpenWrt was flashed to the second partition, OpenWrt won't boot (The status LED will stay red forever). In this case, the following steps are reuqired:
- Start the web recovery interface again and flash the **decrypted OEM image**. This will be flashed to the second partition as well. The OEM firmware web interface is afterwards accessible via http://192.168.200.1.
- Now flash the **encrypted OEM image** via OEM firmware web interface. In this case, the new firmware is flashed to the first partition. After flashing and the following reboot, the OEM firmware web interface should still be accessible via http://192.168.200.1.
- Start the web recovery interface again and flash the OpenWrt recovery image. Now it will be flashed to the first partition, OpenWrt will boot correctly afterwards and is accessible via 192.168.1.1.
Flashing via U-Boot:
- Open the case, connect to the UART console
- Set your IP address to 192.168.200.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Connect to one of the LAN interfaces of the router
- Run a tftp server which provides openwrt-mediatek-filogic-dlink_aquila-pro-ai-m30-a1-initramfs-kernel.bin.
- Power on the device and select "7. Load image" in the U-Boot menu
- Enter image file, tftp server IP and device IP (if they differ from the default).
- TFTP download to RAM will start. After a few seconds OpenWrt initramfs should start
- The initramfs is accessible via 192.168.1.1, change your IP address accordingly (or use multiple IP addresses on your interface)
- Perform a sysupgrade using openwrt-mediatek-filogic-dlink_aquila-pro-ai-m30-a1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
- Reboot the device. OpenWrt should start from flash now
Revert back to stock using the Recovery Web Interface:
- Set your IP address to 192.168.200.2, subnetmask 255.255.255.0
- Press the reset button while powering on the device
- Keep the reset button pressed until the LED blinks red
- Open a Chromium based and goto http://192.168.200.1 (recovery web interface)
- Flash a decrypted firmware image from D-Link. Decrypting an firmware image is described below.
Decrypting a D-Link firmware image:
- Download https://github.com/RolandoMagico/firmware-utils/blob/M32/src/m32-firmware-util.c
- Compile a binary from the downloaded file, e.g. gcc m32-firmware-util.c -lcrypto -o m32-firmware-util
- Run ./m32-firmware-util M30 --DecryptFactoryImage <OriginalFirmware> <OutputFile>
- Example for firmware M30A1_FW101B05: ./m32-firmware-util M30 --DecryptFactoryImage M30A1_FW101B05\(0725091522\).bin M30A1_FW101B05\(0725091522\)_decrypted.bin
Flashing via OEM web interface is not possible, as it will change the active partition and OpenWrt is only running on the first UBI partition.
Controlling the LEDs:
- The LEDs are controlled by a chip called "GCA230718" which is connected to the main CPU via I2C (address 0x40)
- I didn't find any documentation or driver for it, so the information below is purely based on my investigations
- If there is already I driver for it, please tell me. Maybe I didn't search enough
- I implemented a kernel module (leds-gca230718) to access the LEDs via DTS
- The LED controller supports PWM for brightness control and ramp control for smooth blinking. This is not implemented in the driver
- The LED controller supports toggling (on -> off -> on -> off) where the brightness of the LEDs can be set individually for each on cycle
- Until now, only simple active/inactive control is implemented (like when the LEDs would have been connected via GPIO)
- Controlling the LEDs requires three sequences sent to the chip. Each sequence consists of
- A reset command (0x81 0xE4) written to register 0x00
- A control command (for example 0x0C 0x02 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xFF 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xFF 0x87 written to register 0x03)
- The reset command is always the same
- In the control command
- byte 0 is always the same
- byte 1 (0x02 in the example above) must be changed in every sequence: 0x02 -> 0x01 -> 0x03)
- byte 2 is set to 0x01 which disables toggling. 0x02 would be LED toggling without ramp control, 0x03 would be toggling with ramp control
- byte 3 to 6 define the brightness values for the LEDs (R,G,B,W) for the first on cycle when toggling
- byte 7 defines the toggling frequency (if toggling enabled)
- byte 8 to 11 define the brightness values for the LEDs (R,G,B,W) for the second on cycle when toggling
- byte 12 is constant 0x87
Comparison to M32/R32:
- The algorithms for decrypting the OEM firmware are the same for M30/M32/R32, only the keys differ
- The keys are available in the GPL sources for the M32
- The M32/R32 contained raw data in the firmware images (kernel, rootfs), the R30 uses a sysupgrade tar instead
- Creation of the recovery image is quite similar, only the header start string changes. So mostly takeover from M32/R32 for that.
- Turned out that the bytes at offset 0x0E and 0x0F in the recovery image header are the checksum over the data area
- This checksum was not checked in the recovery web interface of M32/R32 devices, but is now active in R30
- I adapted the recovery image creation to also calculate the checksum over the data area
- The recovery image header for M30 contains addresses which don't match the memory layout in the DTS. The same addresses are also present in the OEM images
- The recovery web interface either calculates the correct addresses from it or has it's own logic to determine where which information must be written
