I-O DATA WN-AX1167GR is a 2.4/5 GHz band 11ac router, based on
MediaTek MT7621A.
Specification:
- MT7621A (2-Cores, 4-Threads)
- 64 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 16 MB of Flash (SPI)
- 2T2R 2.4/5 GHz
- 5x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
- 2x LEDs, 4x keys (2x buttons, 1x slide switch)
- UART header on PCB
- Vcc, GND, TX, RX from ethernet port side
- baudrate: 115200 bps (U-Boot, OpenWrt)
Stock firmware:
In the stock firmware, WN-AX1167GR has two os images each composed of
Linux kernel and rootfs.
These images are stored in "Kernel" and "app" partition of the
following partitions, respectively.
(excerpt from dmesg):
MX25L12805D(c2 2018c220) (16384 Kbytes)
mtd .name = raspi, .size = 0x01000000 (16M) .erasesize = 0x00010000 (64K) .numeraseregions = 0
Creating 10 MTD partitions on "raspi":
0x000000000000-0x000001000000 : "ALL"
0x000000000000-0x000000030000 : "Bootloader"

0x000000fb0000-0x000001000000 : "storage"
The flag for boot partition is stored in "Key" partition, and U-Boot
reads this and determines the partition to boot.
If the image that U-Boot first reads according to the flag is
"Bad Magic Number", U-Boot then tries to boot from the other image.
If the second image is correct, change the flag to the number
corresponding to that image and boot from that image.
(example):
## Booting image at bc800000 ...
Bad Magic Number,FFFFFFFF
Boot from KERNEL 1 !!
## Booting image at bc060000 ...

=Installation=
To install an OpenWRT image to the device two components must be built:
1. A openwrt initramfs image
2. A openwrt sysupgrade image
===initramfs & sysupgrade image===
Select target devices "Mikrotik RBM11G" in
openwrt menuconfig and build the images. This will create the images
"openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm11g-initramfs-kernel.bin" and
"openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm11g-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin" in the
output directory.
==Installing==
**Make sure to back up your RouterOS license in case you do ever want to
go back to RouterOS using "/system license output" and back up the
created license file.**
When rebooted the board will try booting via ethernet first. If your
board does not boot via ethernet automatically you will have to attach
to the serial port and set ethernet as boot device within RouterBOOT.
1. Set up a dhcp server that points the bootfile to tftp server serving
the "openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm11g-initramfs-kernel.bin"
initramfs image
2. Connect to ethernet port on board
3. Power on the board
4. Wait for OpenWrt to boot
Right now OpenWrt will be running with a SSH server listening. Now
OpenWrt must be flashed to the devices flash:
1. Copy "openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm11g-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin"
to the device using scp.
2. Write openwrt to flash using "sysupgrade
openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm11g-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin"
Once the flashing completes the board will reboot. Disconnect from the
devices ethernet port or stop the DHCP/TFTP server to prevent the device
from booting via ethernet again.
The device should now boot straight to OpenWrt.

Preparing a TFTP recovery image for initial flashing:
Currently the only method to install openwrt for the first time is via
TFTP download in u-boot. After first install you can use regular updates.
WARNING: This method also overwrites the bootloader partition!
Create a TFTP recovery image:
1) Download a stock TP-Link Firmware file here:
https://www.tp-link.com/en/download/Archer-C2_V1.html#Firmware
2) Extract u-boot from the binary file:
#> dd if=c2v1_stock_firmware.bin of=c2v1_uboot.bin bs=1 skip=512 count=131072
3) Now merge the sysupgrade image and the u-boot into one binary:
#> cat c2v1_uboot.bin openwrt-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin > ArcherC2V1_tp_recovery.bin
The resulting image can be flashed via TFTP recovery mode.
Flash instructions:
1) To flash the recovery image, start a TFTP server from IP address
192.168.0.66 and serve the recovery image named
ArcherC2V1_tp_recovery.bin.
2) Connect your device to the LAN port, then press the WPS/Reset button
and power it up. Keep pressing the WPS/Reset button for 10 seconds.
It will try to download the recovery image and flash it.

This commit adds support for the Mikrotik RouterBOARD RBM33g.
=Hardware=
The RBM33g is a mt7621 based device featuring three gigabit ports, 2
miniPCIe slots with sim card sockets, 1 M.2 slot, 1 USB 3.0 port and a male
onboard RS-232 serial port. Additionally there are a lot of accessible
GPIO ports and additional buses like i2c, mdio, spi and uart.
==Switch==
The three Ethernet ports are all connected to the internal switch of the
mt7621 SoC:
port 0: Ethernet Port next to barrel jack with PoE printed on it
port 1: Innermost Ethernet Port on opposite side of RS-232 port
port 2: Outermost Ethernet Port on opposite side of RS-232 port
port 6: CPU
==Flash==
The device has two spi flash chips. The first flash chips is rather small
(512 kB), connected to CS0 by default and contains only the RouterBOOT
bootloader and some factory information (e.g. mac address).
The second chip has a size of 16 MB, is by default connected to CS1 and
contains the firmware image.
==PCIe==
The board features three PCIe-enabled slots. Two of them are miniPCIe
slots (PCIe0, PCIe1) and one is a M.2 (Key M) slot (PCIe2).
Each of the miniPCIe slots is connected to a dedicated mini SIM socket
on the back of the board.
Power to all three PCIe-enabled slots is controlled via GPIOs on the
mt7621 SoC:
PCIe0: GPIO9
PCIe1: GPIO10
PCIe2: GPIO11
==USB==
The board has one external USB 3.0 port at the rear. Additionally PCIe
port 0 has a permanently enabled USB interface. PCIe slot 1 shares its
USB interface with the rear USB port. Thus only either the rear USB port
or the USB interface of PCIe slot 1 can be active at the same time. The
jumper next to the rear USB port controls which one is active:
open: USB on PCIe 1 is active
closed: USB on rear USB port is active
==Power==
The board can accept both, passive PoE and external power via a 2.1 mm
barrel jack. The input voltage range is 11-32 V.
=Installation=
==Prerequisites==
A USB -> RS-232 Adapter and a null modem cable are required for
installation.
To install an OpenWRT image to the device two components must be built:
1. A openwrt initramfs image
2. A openwrt sysupgrade image

"openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm33g-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin" in the output
directory.
==Installing==
**Make sure to back up your RouterOS license in case you do ever want to
go back to RouterOS using "/system license output" and back up the created
license file.**
Serial settings: 115200 8N1
The installation is a two-step process. First the
"openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm33g-initramfs-kernel.bin" must be booted
via tftp:
1. Set up a dhcp server that points the bootfile to tftp server serving
the "openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm33g-initramfs-kernel.bin"
initramfs image
2. Connect to WAN port (left side, next to sys-LED and power indicator)
3. Connect to serial port of board
4. Power on board and enter RouterBOOT setup menu
5. Set boot device to "boot over ethernet"
6. Set boot protocol to "dhcp protocol" (can be omitted if DHCP server
allows dynamic bootp)
6. Save config
7. Wait for board to boot via Ethernet
On the serial port you should now be presented with the OpenWRT boot log.
The next steps will install OpenWRT persistently.
1. Copy "openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm33g-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin" to the device
using scp.
2. Write openwrt to flash using "sysupgrade
openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mikrotik_rbm33g-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin"
Once the flashing completes reboot the router and let it boot from flash.
It should boot straight to OpenWRT.

The ramdisk image (not the squashfs sysupgrade image) can be flashed
through the web interface (named "GoAhead") of the factory firmware.
However, as the factory firmware does not cleanly unmount the rootfs
before flashing, the device may hang instead of rebooting after
successful write. Power cycling the device gets you in OpenWrt where
the squashfs image may be flashed through normal sysupgrade procedure.

The previous fw version require the replacement of the stock bootloader
with u-boot. This prevent an easy stock restore of the original fw.
Now a proper fw util has been developed to manage the stock jboot
bootloader. Therefore make sense have a fw image for the stock
bootloader.
The old fw configuration (u-boot) is not compatible with the new one
and will not be supported anymore.
So at the end 2 image can be generated:
1) factory image with jboot bootloader
openwrt-ramips-rt305x-dwr-512-b-squashfs-factory.bin
2) sysupgrade image with jboot bootloader
openwrt-ramips-rt305x-dwr-512-b-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

2 dual-color LEDs (Power, Internet)
* Ethernet: 5 ports, 4 LAN + 1 WAN
Installation method:
Same as Newifi D1, users may need to request unlock code from the device
manufacturer. Otherwise, a SPI flash programmer may be necessary to get

The VAR11N-300 is a tiny wireless-N device with a hardwired Ethernet
cable, one extra Ethernet port, and an internal antenna, based on the
MediaTek MT7620n chipset.
Specs:
- MT7620n WiSoC @ 600MHz
- 32 MB SDRAM
- 4 MB SPI flash
- 2T2R 2.4GHz WiFi-N
- 1 attached 10/100 Ethernet cable (LAN)
- 1 10/100 Ethernet port (WAN)
- 1 attached USB / barrel 5vdc power cable
- 5 LEDs (see notes below)
- 1 reset button
- 1 UART (3 pads on board)
Installation:
The stock firmware does not support uploading new firmware directly,
only checking the manufacturer's site for updates. This process may be
possible to spoof, but the update check uses some kind of homebrew
encryption that I didn't investigate. Instead, you can install via a
backdoor:
1. Set up a TFTP server to serve the firmware binary
(lede-ramips-mt7620-var11n-300-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin)
2. Factory reset the device by holding the reset button for a few
seconds.
3. Open the web interface (default IP: 192.168.253.254)
4. Log in with the "super admin" credentials: username `vonets`,
password `vonets26642519`.
5. On the "Operative Status" page, click the text "System Uptime", then
quickly click the uptime value.
6. If successful, an alert dialog will appear reading "Ated start", and
the device will now accept telnet connections. If the alert does not
appear, repeat step 5 until it works (the timing is a bit tricky).
7. Telnet to the device using credentials "admin / admin"
8. Retrieve the firmware binary from the tftp server: `tftp -l lede.bin
-r lede-ramips-mt7620-var11n-300-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin -g
<tftp-server-ip>`
9. Write the firmware to flash: `mtd_write write lede.bin /dev/mtd4`
10. Reboot
Tested:
- LAN / WAN ethernet
- WiFi
- LAN / WAN / status LED GPIOs (see notes below)
- Reset button
- Sysupgrade
Notes:
LEDs:
The board has 5 LEDs - two green LEDs for LAN / WAN activity, one blue
LED for WiFi, and a pair of "status" LEDs connected to the same GPIO
(the blue LED lights when the GPIO is low, and the green when it's
high). I was unable to determine how to operate the WiFi LED, as it
does not appear to be controlled by a GPIO directly.
Recovery:
The default U-boot installation will only boot from flash due to a
missing environment block. I generated a valid 4KB env block using
U-boot's `fw_setenv` tool and wrote it to flash at 0x30000 using an
external programmer. After this, it was possible to enter the U-boot
commandline interface and download a new image via TFTP (`tftpboot
81b00000 <image-filename>`), but while I could boot this image
sucessfully (`bootm`), writing it to flash (`cp.linux`) just corrupted
the flash chip. The sysupgrade file can be written to flash at 0x50000
using an external programmer.

UniElec U7628-01 is a router platform board based on MediaTek MT7628AN.
The device has the following specifications:
- MT7628AN (580MHz)
- 64/128/256 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 8/16 MB of flash (SPI NOR)
- 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (MT7628 built-in switch)
- 1x 2T2R 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (MT7628)
- 1x miniPCIe slot (with PCIe and USB 2.0 buses)
- 1x miniSIM slot
- 1x microSD slot
- 1x USB 2.0 port
- 7x single-color LEDs (GPIO-controlled)
- 1x bi-color LED (green GPIO-controlled, red -> LED_WLAN# in miniPCIe)
- 1x reset button
- 1x UART header (4-pins)
- 1x SDXC/GPIO header (10-pins, connected with microSD slot)
- 1x DC jack for main power (12 V)
The following has been tested and is working:
- Ethernet switch
- miniPCIe slot (tested with modem and Wi-Fi card)
- miniSIM slot
- sysupgrade
- reset button
- USB 2.0 port*
Due to a missing driver (MMC over GPIO) this is not supported:
- microSD card reader
* Warning:
USB buses in miniPCIe and regular A-type socket are connected together,
without any proper analog switch or USB HUB.
Installation:
This board might come with a different firmware versions (MediaTek SDK,
PandoraBox, Padavan, etc.). If your board comes with PandoraBox, you can
install LEDE using sysupgrade. Just SSH to the router and perform forced
sysupgrade (due to a board name mismatch). The default IP of this board
should be: 192.168.1.1 and username/password: root/admin. In case of a
different firmware, you can use web based recovery described below.
Use the following command to perform the sysupgrade (for the 128MB
RAM/16MB flash version):
sysupgrade -n -F lede-ramips-mt76x8-u7628-01-128M-16M-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Recovery:
This board contains a Chinese, closed-source bootloader called Breed
(Boot and Recovery Environment for Embedded Devices). Breed supports web
recovery and to enter it, you keep the reset button pressed for around
5 seconds during boot. Your machine will be assigned an IP through DHCP
and the router will use IP address 192.168.1.1. The recovery website is
in Chinese, but is easy to use. Click on the second item in the list to
access the recovery page, then the second item on the next page is where
you select the firmware. In order to start the recovery, you click the
button at the bottom.
SDXC/GPIO header (J3):
1. SDXC_D3 / I2C_SCLK
2. SDXC_D2 / I2C_SD
3. SDXC_D1 / I2S_DI
4. SDXC_D0 / I2S_WS
5. SDXC_CMD / I2S_CLK
6. SDXC_CLK / GPIO0
7. SDXC_CD / UART_RXD1
8. UART_TXD1
9. 3V3
10. GND
Other notes:
1. The board is available with different amounts of RAM and flash. We
have only added support for the 128/16 MB configuration, as that seems
to be the default. However, all the required infrastructure is in place
for making support for the other configurations easy.

UniElec U7621-06 is a router platform board based on MediaTek MT7621AT.
The device has the following specifications:
- MT7621AT (880 MHz)
- 256/512 MB of RAM (DDR3)
- 8/16/32/64 MB of FLASH (SPI NOR)
- 5x 1 Gbps Ethernet (MT7621 built-in switch)
- 1x ASMedia ASM1061 (for mSATA and SATA)
- 2x miniPCIe slots (PCIe bus only)
- 1x mSATA slot (with USB 2.0 bus for modem)
- 1x SATA
- 1x miniSIM slot
- 1x microSD slot
- 1x USB 3.0
- 12x LEDs (3 GPIO-controlled)
- 1x reset button
- 1x UART header (4-pins)
- 1x GPIO header (30-pins)
- 1x FPC connector for LEDs (20-pin, 0.5 mm pitch)
- 1x DC jack for main power (12 V)
The following has been tested and is working:
- Ethernet switch
- miniPCIe slots (tested with Wi-Fi cards)
- mSATA slot (tested with modem and mSATA drive)
- miniSIM slot
- sysupgrade
- reset button
- microSD slot
Installation:
This board might come with a different firmware versions (MediaTek SDK,
PandoraBox, Padavan, etc.). If your board comes with PandoraBox, you can
install LEDE using sysupgrade. Just SSH to the router and perform forced
sysupgrade (due to a board name mismatch). The default IP of this board
should be: 192.168.1.1 and username/password: root/admin. In case of a
different firmware, you can use web based recovery described below.
Use the following command to perform the sysupgrade (for the 256MB
RAM/16MB flash version):
sysupgrade -n -F lede-ramips-mt7621-u7621-06-256M-16M-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Recovery:
This board contains a Chinese, closed-source bootloader called Breed
(Boot and Recovery Environment for Embedded Devices). Breed supports web
recovery and to enter it, you keep the reset button pressed for around
5 seconds during boot. Your machine will be assigned an IP through DHCP
and the router will use IP address 192.168.1.1. The recovery website is
in Chinese, but is easy to use. Click on the second item in the list to
access the recovery page, then the second item on the next page is where
you select the firmware. In order to start the recovery, you click the
button at the bottom.
LEDs list (top row, left to right):
- LED_WWAN# (connected with pin 42 in LTE/mSATA slot)
- Power (connected directly to 3V3)
- CTS2_N (GPIO10, configured as "status" LED)
- TXD2 (GPIO11, configured as "led4", without default trigger)
- RXD2 (GPIO12, configured as "led5", without default trigger)
- LED_WLAN# (connected with pin 44 in wifi0 slot)
LEDs list (bottom row, left to right):
- ESW_P0_LED_0
- ESW_P1_LED_0
- ESW_P2_LED_0
- ESW_P3_LED_0
- ESW_P4_LED_0
- LED_WLAN# (connected with pin 44 in wifi1 slot)
Other notes:
1. The board is available with different amounts of RAM and flash. We
have only added support for the 256/16 MB configuration, as that seems
to be the default. However, all the required infrastructure is in place
for making support for the other configurations easy.
2. The manufacturer offers five different wireless cards with MediaTek
chipsets, based on MT76x2, MT7603 and MT7615. Images of the board all
show that the miniPCIe slots are dedicated to specific Wi-Fi cards.
However, the slots are generic.
3. All boards we got access to had the same EEPROM content. The default
firmware reads the Ethernet MAC from offset 0xe000 in factory partition.
This offset only contains 0xffs, so a random MAC will be generated on
every boot of the router. There is a valid MAC stored at offset 0xe006
and this MAC is shown as the WAN MAC in the bootloader. However, it is
the same on all boards we have checked. Based on information provided
by the vendor, all boards sold in small quantities are considered more
as samples for development purposes.

TP-Link TL-WR840N v5 is simple N300 router with 5-port FE switch and
non-detachable antennas, based on MediaTek MT7628NN (aka MT7628N) WiSoC.
Specification:
- MT7628N/N (580 MHz)
- 64 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 4 MB of FLASH
- 2T2R 2.4 GHz
- 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 2x external, non-detachable antennas
- UART (J1) header on PCB (115200 8n1)
- 1x LED (GPIO-controlled), 1x button
* LED in TL-WR840N v5 is a dual-color, dual-leads type which isn't
(fully) supported by gpio-leds driver. This type of LED requires both
GPIOs state change at the same time to select color or turn it off.
For now, we support/use only the green part of the LED.
Orange LED is registered so you can later use it for your own purposes.
Flash instruction:
Unlike TL-WR840N v4 flashing through WEB UI works in v5.
1. Download lede-ramips-mt76x8-tl-wr840n-v5-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin image.
2. Go to 192.168.0.1
3. Flash the sysupgrade image through Firmware upgrade section of WEB UI.
4. Wait until green LED stops flashing and use the router.
Notes:
TFTP recovery is broken since TP-Link reused bootloader code for v4 and
that does not take into account only 4 MB of flash and bricks the device.
So do not use TFTP Recovery or you will have to rewrite SPI flash.
They fixed it in later GPL code,but it is unknown which version of
bootloader you have.
After manually compiling and flashing bootloader from GPL sources TFTP
recovery works properly.
