OpenWRT Installation
1. Simplest way is just do upgrade from webpage with *factory.img
2. You can also do it with standard tool for Netgear's debricking - NMPRFlash
3. Most advanced way is to open device , connect to UART console and :
- Prepare OpenWrt initramfs image in TFTP server root (server IP 192.168.1.10)
- Connect serial console (115200,8n1) to UART connector
- Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port
- Stop in u-Boot and run u-Boot command:
> setenv serverip 192.168.1.10
> set fdt_high 0x85000000
> tftpboot 0x83000000 openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_lbr20-initramfs-zImage.itb
> bootm 0x83000000
- Login via ssh
- upload or download *sysupgrade.bin ( like wget ... or scp transfer)
- Install image via "sysupgrade -n" (like “sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_lbr20-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin”)
Back to Stock
- Download firmware from official Netgear's webpage , it will be *.img file after decompressing.
- Use NMRPFlash tool ( detailed insructions on project page https://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflash )
Open the case
- Unscrew nuts and remove washers from antenna's conectors.
- There are two Torx T10 screws under the label next to antenna conectors. You have to unglue this label from left and right corner to get it
- Two parts of shell covers will slide out from eachother , you have to unglue two small rubber pads and namplate sticker on bottom to do that.
- PCB is screwed with 4Pcs of Torx T10 screws
- Before lifting up PCB remove pigtiles for LTE antennas and release them from PCB and radiator (black and white wires)
- On other side of PCB ,in left bottom corner there is already soldered with 4 pins UART connector for console. Counting from left it is +3,3V , TX , RX ,GND (reffer to this picture: https://i.ibb.co/Pmrf9KB/20240116-103524.jpg )
BDF's files are in firmware_qca-wireless https://github.com/openwrt/firmware_qca-wireless/ and in parallel sent to ath10k@lists.infradead.org.

- use color, function, function-enumerator properties.
- removes the label properties from LED nodes.
- add panic-indicator to the blue power/status LED.
Note: yes this brings the combined LAN/"switch" LED sort of back,
though I fully admit, it's a bit jank. Do you know a better option?
then please tell/make a PR!

This in a single image to run many types of hardware in the AP391x
series (AP3912/AP3915/AP3916/AP3917/AP7662).
Hardware
--------
Qualcomm IPQ4029 WiSoC
2T2R 802.11 abgn
2T2R 802.11 nac
Macronix MX25L25635E SPI-NOR (32M)
512M DDR3 RAM
1-4x Gigabit Ethernet
Senao EXT1025 HD Camera (AP3916 only)
USB 2.0 Port (AP3915e only)
1x Cisco RJ-45 Console port
- except for AP3916 and AP3912 where there is no external serial
console and it is TDB how to solder one. Possibly J12 is UART with
pin1 = 3.3V, pin2 = GND, pin3 = TXD, pin4 = RXD.
- Settings: 115200 8N1
Installation With Serial Console
--------------------------------
1. Attach to the Console port. Power up the device and press the s key
to interrupt autoboot.
2. The default username / password to the bootloader is admin / new2day
3. Check uboot variables using printenv, and update if necessary:
$ setenv AP_MODE 0
$ setenv WATCHDOG_COUNT 0
$ setenv WATCHDOG_LIMIT 0
$ setenv AP_PERSONALITY identifi
$ setenv serverip <SERVER_IPADDR>
$ setenv ipaddr <UNIQUE_IPADDR>
$ setenv MOSTRECENTKERNEL 0; ## OpenWRT only uses the primary image
$ saveenv
$ saveenv ## 2nd time to write the secondary copy
4. On the TFTP server located at <SERVER_IPADDR>, download the OpenWrt
initramfs image. Rename and serve it as vmlinux.gz.uImage.3912
5. TFTP boot the OpenWrt initramfs image from the AP serial console:
$ run boot_net
6. Wait for OpenWrt to start. Internet port sw-eth5 is assiged to LAN
bridge and sw-eth4 (if available) is assigned to WAN. The LAN port
will use default IP address 192.168.1.1 and run a DHCP server.
If you already have a working DHCP server or already have 192.168.1.1
on your network you MUST DISCONNECT the LAN cable from your active
network immediately after the power/status LED turns green!
At this point, you need to temporarily reconfigure the AP to have
a way to transfer the OpenWRT sysupgrade image to it.
Reconfigure the newly converted OpenWRT AP using serial console or
plug in a PC to a sw-eth5 as a separate network. Note -- the LAN/WAN
port assignments were designed to make it possible to convert to
OpenWRT without serial console and using a common firmware
image for many AP models -- they may not make the most sense when
fully deployed.
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
9. After it boots up again, as in step 6, connect to AP and reconfigure
for final deployment.
This build supports APs in the AP391x series and similar such as WiNG
AP7662.
Ethernet devices within OpenWRT are named "sw-eth1" thru "sw-eth5".
Mapping from OpenWRT internal naming to external naming on the case is
as follows:
```
|sw-eth1|sw-eth2|sw-eth3|sw-eth4|sw-eth5
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP3917 | | | | GE2 | GE1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP7662 | | | | GE2 | GE1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP3916 | | | | CAM* | GE1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP3915 | | | | | GE1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP3912 | | P1 | P2 | P3 | LAN1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
```
By default sw-eth4 is mapped to WAN. All others are assigned to the
LAN.
CAM* - On AP3916, sw-eth4 is the camera's interface. You should
reconfigure this to be on LAN after OpenWRT boots from flash.
Installation Without Serial Console
-----------------------------------
The main premise is to set u-boot environment variables using the
Extreme Networks firmware's rdwr_boot_cfg program.
$ rdwr_boot_cfg
Utility to manipulate the boot ROM config blocks
All errors are written to the sytem log file (/tmp/log/ap.log)
```
Usage: rdwr_boot_cfg <read_all|read_var|read_var_f|write_var|rm_var> ...
read_all read the entire active block
read_var <var> read a single variable from the active block
read_var_f <var> read a single variable from the active block
(formatted)
write_var <var=val> write a single variable/value pair to both
blocks
rm_var <var> delete a single variable from both blocks
```
WARNING: Be very sure you have set the u-boot environment correctly.
If not, it can only be fixed by attaching serial console!
Be aware that the Extreme Networks shell environment will automatically
reboot every 5 minutes if there is no controller present.
Read and understand these steps fully before attempting. It is easy
to make mistakes!
1. Place the OpenWRT initramfs on the TFTP server and name it as
vmlinux.gz.uImage.3912
2. Boot up to Extreme Networks WING-Campus mode OS. Port GE1/LAN1
will be a DHCP **client**. Find out the IP address from your DHCP
server and SSH in. Default user/passwd is admin/new2day or
admin/admin123.
If it is booting to WING-Distributed mode, use this command to
convert to Campus mode.
$ operational-mode centralized
3. Upon bootup you have about 5mins to changed these u-boot variables
if necessary using the rdwr_boot_cfg command in Linux shell:
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var AP_MODE=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var MOSTRECENTKERNEL=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var WATCHDOG_COUNT=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var WATCHDOG_LIMIT=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var AP_PERSONALITY=identifi
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var serverip=<SERVER_IPADDR>
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var ipaddr=<UNIQUE_IPADDR>
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var bootcmd="run boot_net"
4. Reboot AP.
5. Connect PC with ethernet to GE1/LAN1 port. You should get a
DHCP address in the 192.168.1.x range and should be able to
SSH to the new OpenWRT TFTP recovery/installation shell.
6. At this point, u-boot is still set to TFTP boot, so you have to
replace the TFTP image with the original Extreme Networks image so
that you can change the u-boot environment.
See the instructions for Extracting Extreme Networks firmware
image.
DON'T REBOOT YET!
7. Next you must follow steps 6 thru 8 from the Installation with serial
console. After which you should have OpenWRT installed to primary
flash firmware.
8. Now Reboot. This time it will boot using TFTP into Extreme Networks
image. You may need to reconnect cables at this point -- GE1/LAN1
will be a DHCP **client** and you can SSH in -- just like step 2.
Get the IP address from you own DHCP server.
9. Set u-boot env as follows:
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var MOSTRECENTKERNEL=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var WATCHDOG_COUNT=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var bootcmd="run boot_flash"
10. Reboot AP. This time it should be into OpenWRT. GE1/LAN1 will be
a DHCP **server** and have static IP 192.168.1.1 -- just like step 5.
11. SSH into the LAN port and reconfigure to final configuration. Don't
make any changes that prevent you from SSH or Luci access!
Restoring Extreme Networks firmware
-----------------------------------
Assuming you have the original Extreme Networks image:
1. Login to OpenWRT shell
2. scp the Extreme Networks packaged firmware image file AP391x-*.img to
/tmp
3. Extract the firmware uimage file:
$ tar xjf AP391x-*.img vmlinux.gz.uImage
4. Force run sysupgrade:
$ sysupgrade -F /tmp/AP391x-*.img /
5. Restore the u-boot varable(s):
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var WATCHDOG_LIMIT=3
USB 2.0 Port on AP3915e
-----------------------
Enable this by setting LED "eth:amber_or_usb_enable" to ALWAYS ON.

The ZTE MF282 Plus is a LTE router used (exclusively?) by the network
operator "3". It is very similar to the MF286/MF287 but in the form factor
of the MF282.
Specifications
==============
SoC: IPQ4019
RAM: 256MiB
Flash: 8MiB SPI-NOR + 128MiB SPI-NAND
LAN: 1x GBit LAN
LTE: ZTE Cat6
WiFi: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac SoC-integrated
MAC addresses
=============
LAN: from config
WiFi 1: from config + 1
WiFi 2: from config + 2
Installation
============
Option 1 - TFTP
---------------
TFTP installation using UART is preferred. Disassemble the device and
connect serial. Put the initramfs image as openwrt.bin to your TFTP server
and configure a static IP of 192.168.1.100. Load the initramfs image by
typing:
setenv serverip 192.168.1.100
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
tftpboot 0x84000000 openwrt.bin
bootm 0x84000000
From this intiramfs boot you can take a backup of the currently installed
partitions as no vendor firmware is available for download:
ubiattach -m9
cat /dev/ubi0_0 > /tmp/ubi0_0
cat /dev/ubi0_1 > /tmp/ubi0_1
Copy the files /tmp/ubi0_0 and /tmp/ubi0_1 somewhere save.
Once booted, transfer the sysupgrade image and run sysupgrade. You might
have to delete the stock volumes first:
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
Option 2 - From stock firmware
------------------------------
The installation from stock requires an exploit first. The exploit consists
of a backup file that forces the firmware to download telnetd via TFTP from
192.168.0.22 and run it. Once exploited, you can connect via telnet and
login as admin:admin.
The exploit will be available at the device wiki page.
Once inside the stock firmware, you can transfer the -factory.bin file to
/tmp by using "scp" from the stock frmware or "tftp".
ZTE has blocked writing to the NAND. Fortunately, it's easy to allow write
access - you need to read from one file in /proc. Once done, you need to
erase the UBI partition and flash OpenWrt. Before performing the operation,
make sure that mtd9 is the partition labelled "rootfs" by calling
"cat /proc/mtd".
Complete commands:
cd /tmp
tftp -g -r factory.bin 192.168.0.22
cat /proc/driver/sensor_id
flash_erase /dev/mtd9 0 0
dd if=/tmp/factory.bin of=/dev/mtdblock9 bs=131072
Afterwards, reboot your device and you should have a working OpenWrt
installation.

=============
Option 1 - via UART
-------------------
Boot an OpenWrt initramfs image via TFTP as for the initial installation.
Transfer the two backed-up files to your box to /tmp.
Then, run the following commands - replace $kernel_length and $rootfs_size
by the size of ubi0_0 and ubi0_1 in bytes.
ubiattach -m 9
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs_data
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel -s $kernel_length
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs -s $rootfs_size
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_0 /tmp/ubi0_0
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_1 /tmp/ubi0_1
Option 2 - from within OpenWrt
------------------------------
This option requires to flash an initramfs version first so that access
to the flash is possible. This can be achieved by sysupgrading to the
recovery.bin version and rebooting. Once rebooted, you are again in a
default OpenWrt installation, but no partition is mounted.
Follow the commands from Option 1 to flash back to stock.
LTE Modem
=========
The LTE modem is similar to the MF286R, it provides an RNDIS interface
and an AT interface.
Other Notes
===========
There is one GPIO Switch "Power button blocker" which, if enabled, does not
trigger a reset of the SoC if the modem reboots. If disabled, the SoC is
rebooted along with the modem. The modem can be rebooted via the exported
GPIO "modem-reset" in /sys/class/gpio.

LTE Modem
=========
The LTE modem is similar to other ZTE devices and controls some more LEDs
and battery management.
Configuring the connection using uqmi works properly, the modem
provides three serial ports and a QMI CDC ethernet interface.

- The three WiFis were fully tested and are configured with the same settings as in the vendor firmware.
- The specific board files were submitted to the ATH10k mailing list but I'm still waiting for a reply. They can be removed once they are approved upstream.
- Two ethernet ports are accessible on the device. By default one is configured as WAN and the other one is LAN. They are fully working.
Bluetooth:
========
- Fully working with the following caveats:
- RFKILL need to be enabled in the kernel.
- An older version of bluez is needed as bccmd is needed to configure the chip.
Zigbee:
======
- The spidev device is available in the /dev directory.
- GPIOs are configured the same way as in the vendor firmware.
- Tests are on-going. I am working on getting access to the Silicon Labs stack to validate that it is fully working.
Installation:
=========
The squash-factory image can be installed via the Linksys Web UI:
1. Open "http://192.168.1.1/ca" (Change the IP with the IP of your device).
2. Login with your admin password.
3. To enter into the support mode, click on the "CA" link and the bottom of the page.
4. Open the "Connectivity" menu and upload the squash-factory image with the "Choose file" button.
5. Click start. Ignore all the prompts and warnings by click "yes" in all the popups.
The device uses a dual partition mechanism. The device automatically revert to the previous partition after 3 failed boot attempts.
If you want to force the previous firmware to load, you can turn off and then turn on the device for 2 seconds, 3 times in a row.
It can also be done via TFTP:
1. Setup a local TFTP server and configure its IP to 192.168.1.100.
2. Rename your image to "nodes_v2.img" and put it to the TFTP root of your server.
3. Connect to the device through the serial console.
4. Power on device and press enter when prompted to drop into U-Boot.
5. Flash the partition of your choice by typing "run flashimg" or "run flashimg2".
6. Once flashed, enter "reset" to reboot the device.

The calibration data and mac addresses on this device are stored in the
0:ART partition. It is therefore possible to move the code to handle them
directly to the devicetree instead of the various scripts.
But the actual relevant information about the partition layout is provided
by the bootloader via bootargs (mtdparts) and not via the devicetree
itself. Instead of using a fixed-partition template, the mtd dynamic
partitions support from the upstream kernel is used.

As done previously, this preserves the MAC addresses of they physical
Ethernet ports. The interfaces are renamed as eth0 is in use for the
native GMAC; the new interface naming matches the physical port labels.
- sw-eth1 corresponds to the physical port labeled ETH1 and has the
base MAC address. This port can be used to power the device.
- sw-eth2 corresponds to the physical port labeled ETH2 and has a MAC
address one greater than the base.
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.

# it could return error if rootfs part was erased before
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs
# some devices doesn't have it
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs_data
7. download and install image via sysupgrade -n
(either use wget/scp to copy the mf289f's squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
to the device's /tmp directory)
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-...-zte_mf289f-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Sometimes it could print ubi attach error, but please ignore it
if process goes forward.

Back to Stock (!!! need original dump taken from initramfs !!!)
-------------
1. Place mtd16.bin and mtd17.bin initramfs image
for the device on a TFTP in the server's root.
This example uses Server IP: 192.168.0.2
2. Connect serial console (115200,8n1) to serial console
connector (refer to the pin-out from above).
3. Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port (WAN/LAN1).
4. rename mtd16.bin to web.img and mtd17.bin to root_uImage_s
5. Stop in u-Boot (using ESC button) and run u-Boot commands:
This will erase RootFS+Web:
nand erase 0x1000000 0x800000
nand erase 0x1800000 0x1D00000
This will restore RootFS:
tftpboot 0x84000000 ${dir}root_uImage_s
nand erase 0x1800000 0x1D00000
nand write $fileaddr 0x1800000 $filesize
This will restore Web Interface:
tftpboot 0x84000000 ${dir}web.img
nand erase 0x1000000 0x800000
nand write $fileaddr 0x1000000 $filesize
After first boot on stock firwmare, do a factory reset.
Push reset button for 5 seconds so all parameters will
be reverted to the one printed on label on bottom of the router

Flash instruction using initramfs image:
1. Prepare TFTP server with the IP address 192.168.132.100 and place the
initramfs image to TFTP directory with the name "C0A88401.img"
2. Boot NCP-HG100/Cellular and interrupt after the message
"Hit any key to stop autoboot: 2"
3. Perform the following commands and set bootcmd to allow booting from
eMMC
setenv bootcmd "mmc read 0x84000000 0x2e22 0x4000 && bootm 0x84000000"
saveenv
4. Perform the following command to load/boot the OpenWrt initramfs image
tftpboot && bootm
5. On the initramfs image, perform sysupgrade with the sysupgrade image
(if needed, backup eMMC partitions by dd command and download to
other place before performing sysupgrade)
6. Wait for ~120 seconds to complete flashing
Known issues:
- There are no drivers for audio-related chips/functions in Linux Kernel
and OpenWrt, they cannot be used.
- There is no driver for MINI54FDE Micro-Controller Unit, customized for
this device by the firmware in the MCU. This chip controls the
following functions, but they cannot be controlled in OpenWrt.
- RGB LED
- Fan
this fan is controlled automatically by MCU by default, without
driver
- Thermal Sensors (2x)
- Currently, there is no driver or tool for CY8C4014LQI and cannot be
controlled. It cannot be exited from "booting mode" and moved to "normal
op mode" after booting. And also, the 4x buttons (mic mute, vol down,
vol up, alexa trigger) connected to the IC cannot be controlled.
- it can be exited from "booting mode" by installing and executing
i2cset command:
opkg update
opkg install i2c-tools
i2cset -y 1 0x14 0xf 1
- There is a connection issue on the control by uqmi for the WWAN module.
But modemmanager can be used without any issues and the use of it is
recommended.
- With the F2FS format, too many errors are reported on erasing eMMC
partition "rootfs_data" while booting:

So, this support uses ext4 format instead which has no errors.
Note:
- The primary uart is shared for debug console and Z-Wave chip. The
function is switched by GPIO15 (Linux: 427).
value:
1: debug console
0: Z-Wave
- NCP-HG100/Cellular has 2x os-image pairs in eMMC.
- 0:HLOS, rootfs
- 0:HLOS_1, rootfs_1
In OpenWrt, the first image pair is used.
- "bootipq" command in U-Boot requires authentication with signed-image
by default. To boot unsigned image of OpenWrt, use "mmc read" and
"bootm" command instead.
- This support is for "Cellular" variant of NCP-HG100 and not tested on
"WLAN" (non-cellular) variant.
- The board files of ipq-wifi may also be used in "WLAN" variant of
NCP-HG100, but unconfirmed and add files as for "Cellular" variant.
- "NET" LED is used to indicate WWAN status in stock firmware.
- There is no MAC address information in the label on the case, use the
address included in UUID in the label as "label-MAC" instead.
- The "CLOUD" LEDs are partially used for indication of system status in
stock firmware, use they as status LEDs in OpenWrt instead of RGB LED
connected to the MCU.
