Installation
------------
NOTE: You can find a repo with up-to-date instructions as well as
the required files here:
https://github.com/blocktrron/msm460-flashing
Required files
==============
You need a command-files as well as a U-Boot image.
The command-file has the following content (padded to 131072 bytes).
If you copy paste these, remove the newlines!
```
U-BOOT setenv ethaddr 02:03:04:05:06:07; setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1;
setenv serverip 192.168.1.66; tftpboot 0x3000000 msm460-uboot.bin;
nand device; nand erase 0 0xC0000; nand write 0x3000000 0x0 0xC0000; reset
```
You can download the required U-Boot from this repository:
https://github.com/blocktrron/u-boot-msm/releases
Preparation
===========
Prepare a TFTP server serving two files:
- U-Boot NAND image as `msm460-uboot.bin`.
- OpenWrt factory image as `msm460-factory.bin`
- Command-file names `commands.tftp`
You can start a TFTP server in the current directory using dnsmasq:
```bash
sudo dnsmasq --no-daemon --listen-address=0.0.0.0 \
--port=0 --enable-tftp=enxd0 --tftp-root="$(pwd)" \
--user=root --group=root
```
Replace `enxd0` with the name of your network interface.
Procedure
=========
1. Assign yourself the IP-Address 192.168.1.66/24.
3. Connect the Router to the PC while keeping the reset button
pressed.
4. The LEDs will eventually begin to flash.
They will start to flash faster after around 15 seconds.
5. Release the reset button.
6. Start a new shell
7. Make sure you are currently in the directory where the tftp server
is located.
8. Run the following command:
```bash
tftp 192.168.1.1 -m binary -c put commands.tftp nflashd.cccc9999
```
You get the message "Transfer timed out."
To find out if you have been successful, please check the
blinking LED Pattern.

Convert the Enterasys WS-AP3710i access point to use the simpleImage
wrapper.
This is necessary, as the bootlaoder does not align the DTB correctly
(and does not support altering the FDT loadaddress). Booting images with
kernels 5.15 and later can break depending on the alignment on the DTB
within the FIT image.

with 6.1, the kernel no longer fitted into the 16 MiB and
kicking down the can and increasing KERNEL_SIZE to 20 MiB
didn't help as the device failed to boot.
Using 'kernel-bin | gzip | uimage gzip' didn't work since the
uboot does not have enough heap to decompress these big kernels.
And finally playing around with uboot was more a hassle than
converting this device to take the simpleImage-boot-route in
the future.
Note: The device now takes even longer on the first boot-up after
the flash due to JFFS2 initializing all the remaining flash.
Be prepared to wait up to 10 minutes before the green status LED
stops blinking and will shine a solid green!
(On the plus site: the device now has ~10 MiB of additional
space for rootfs+rootfs_data).

The boot-procedure for the Extreme WS-AP3825I is vfragile to put it
mildly. It does not relocate the FDT properly. It currently exercises
every step manually as well as coming with a pre-padded dtb.
Use the PowerPC bootwrapper code for legacy platforms with a pre-filles
DTS instead. We still need to ship a fit image to not break the fdt
resize / relocate instructions on existing boards. This does not require
adapting the U-Boot bootcommand.

1. Patch U-Boot by dumping the content of the SPI-Flash using a SPI
programmer. The SHA1 hash for the U-Boot password is currently
unknown.
A tool for patching U-Boot is available at

You can also patch the unknown password yourself. The SHA1 hash is
E597301A1D89FF3F6D318DBF4DBA0A5ABC5ECBEA
2. Interrupt the bootmenu by pressing CTRL+C. A password prompt appears.
The patched password is '1234' (without quotation marks)
3. Download the OpenWrt initramfs image. Copy it to a TFTP server
reachable at 10.0.1.13/24 and rename it to uImage.
4. Connect the TFTP server to ethernet port 0 of the Watchguard T10.
5. Download and boot the initramfs image by entering "tftpboot; bootm;"
in U-Boot.
6. After OpenWrt booted, create a UBI volume on the old data partition.
The "ubi" mtd partition should be mtd7, check this using
$ cat /proc/mtd
Create a UBI partition by executing
$ ubiformat /dev/mtd7 -y
7. Increase the loadable kernel-size of U-Boot by executing
$ fw_setenv SysAKernSize 800000
8. Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the Watchguard T10 using
scp. Install the image by using sysupgrade:
$ sysupgrade -n <path-to-sysupgrade>
Note: The LAN ports of the T10 are 1 & 2 while 0 is WAN. You might
have to change the ethernet-port.
9. OpenWrt should now boot from the internal NAND. Enjoy.

As of upstream Linux commit 0fe1e96fef0a ("powerpc/pci: Prefer PCI
domain assignment via DT 'linux,pci-domain' and alias"), the PCIe
domain address is no longer numbered by the lowest 16 bits of the PCI
register address after a fallthrough. Instead of the fallthrough, the
enumeration process accepts the alias ID (as determined by
`of_alias_scan()`). This causes e.g.:
9000:00:00.0 PCI bridge: Freescale Semiconductor Inc P1020E (rev 11)
9000:01:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR958x 802.11abgn ...
to become
0000:00:00.0 PCI bridge: Freescale Semiconductor Inc P1020E (rev 11)
0000:01:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR958x 802.11abgn ...
... which then causes the sysfs path of the netdev to change,
invalidating the `wifi_device.path`s enumerated in
`/etc/config/wireless`.
One other solution might be to migrate the uci configuration, as was
done for mvebu in commit 0bd5aa89fc ("mvebu: Migrate uci config to
new PCIe path"). However, there are concerns that the sysfs path will
change once again once some upstream patches[^2][^3] are merged and
backported (and `CONFIG_PPC_PCI_BUS_NUM_DOMAIN_DEPENDENT` is enabled).
Instead, remove the aliases and allow the fallthrough to continue for
now. We will provide a migration in a later release.
This was first reported as a Github issue[^1].

Installation:
1. Grab the OpenWrt initramfs <openwrt-initramfs-bin>, e.g.
openwrt-mpc85xx-p1020-extreme-networks_ws-ap3825i-initramfs-kernel.bin.
Place it in the root directory of a DHCP+TFTP server, e.g. OpenWrt
`dnsmasq` with configuration `dhcp.server.enable_tftp='1'`.
2. Connect to the serial port and boot the AP with options
e.g. 115200,N,8. Stop autoboot in U-Boot by pressing Enter after
'Scanning JFFS2 FS:' begins, then waiting for the prompt to be
interrupted. Credentials are identical to the one in the APs
interface. By default it is admin / new2day: if these do not work,
follow the OEM's reset procedure using the reset button.
3. Set the bootcmd so the AP can boot OpenWrt by executing:
```uboot
setenv boot_openwrt "cp.b 0xEC000000 0x2000000 0x2000000; interrupts off; bootm start 0x2000000; bootm loados; fdt resize; fdt boardsetup; fdt chosen; bootm prep; bootm go;"
setenv bootcmd "run boot_openwrt"
saveenv
```
If you plan on going back to the vendor firmware - the bootcmd for it
is stored in the boot_flash variable.
4. Load the initramfs image to RAM and boot by executing
```uboot
setenv ipaddr <ipv4 client address>;
setenv serverip <tftp server address>;
tftpboot 0x2000000 <openwrt-initramfs-bin>;
interrupts off;
bootm start 0x2000000;
bootm loados;
fdt resize;
fdt boardsetup;
fdt chosen;
bootm prep;
bootm go;
```
5. Make a backup of the "firmware" partition if you ever wish to go back
to the vendor firmware.
6. Upload the OpenWrt sysupgrade image via SCP to the devices /tmp
folder.
7. Flash OpenWrt using sysupgrade.
```ash
sysupgrade /tmp/<openwrt-sysupgrade-bin>
```
Notes:
- We must step through the `bootm` process manually to avoid fdt
relocation. To explain: the stock U-boot (and stock Linux) are configured
with a very large CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ (and the device's stock Linux
kernel is configured to be able to handle it). The U-boot version
predates the check for the `fdt_high` variable, meaning that upon fdt
relocation, the fdt can (and will) be moved to a very high address; the
default appears to be 0x9ffa000. This address is so high that when the
Linux kernel starts reading the fdt at the beginning of the boot process,
it encounters a memory access exception and panics[5]. While it is
possible to reduce the highest address the fdt will be relocated to by
setting `bootm_size`, this also has the side effect of limiting the
amount of RAM the kernel can use[3].
- Because it is not relocated, the flattened device tree needs to be
padded in the build process to guarantee that `fdt resize` has
enough space.
- The primary ethernet MAC address is stored (and set) in U-boot; they are
shimmed into the device tree by 'fdt boardsetup' through the
'local-mac-address' property of the respective ethernet node, so OpenWrt
does not need to set this at runtime. Note that U-boot indexes the
ethernet nodes by alias, which is why the device tree explicitly aliases
ethernet1 to enet2.
- LEDs do not function under OpenWrt. Each of 8 LEDs is connected to an
output of a TI LV164A shift register, which is wired to GPIO lines and
operates through bit-banged SPI. Unfortunately, I am unable to get the
spi-gpio driver to recognize the `led_spi` device tree node at all, as
confirmed by patching in printk messages demonstrating
spi-gpio.c::spi_gpio_probe never runs. It is possible to manually
articulate the shift register by exporting the GPIO lines and stepping
their values through the sysfs.
- Though they do not function under OpenWrt, I have left the pinout details
of the LEDs and shift register in the device tree to represent real
hardware.
- An archive of the u-boot and Linux source for the AP3825i (which is one
device of a range of devices code-named 'CHANTRY') be found here[1].
- The device has an identical case to both the Enterasys WS-AP3725i and
Adtran BSAP-2030[2] (and potentially other Adtran BSAPs). Given that
there is no FCC ID for the board itself (only its WLAN modules), it's
likely these are generic boards, and even that the WS-AP3725i is
identical, with only a change in WLAN card. I have ordered one to confirm
this.
- For additional information: the process of porting the board is
documented in an OpenWrt forum thread[4].

We can no longer compress the kernel due to size, and the stock bootloader
does not support any other types of compression. Since an uncompressed
kernel no longer fits in the 8MiB kernel partition at 0x2840000, we need to
patch u-boot to autoboot by running variable which isn't set by the
bootloader on each autoboot.
This commit repartitions the HiveAP, requiring a new COMPAT_VERSION,
and uses the DEVICE_COMPAT_MESSAGE to guide the user to patch u-boot,
which changes the variable run on boot to be `owrt_boot`; the user can
then set the value of that variable appropriately.
The following has been documented in the device's OpenWrt wiki page:
<https://openwrt.org/toh/aerohive/hiveap-330>. Please look there
first/too for more information.
The from-stock and upgrade from a previous installation now becomes:
0) setup a network with a dhcp server and a tftp server at serverip
(192.168.1.101) with the initramfs image in the servers root directory.
1) Hook into UART (9600 baud) and enter U-Boot. You may need to enter
a password of administrator or AhNf?d@ta06 if prompted. If the password
doesn't work. Try reseting the device by pressing and holding the reset
button with the stock OS.
2) Once in U-Boot, set the new owrt_boot and tftp+boot the initramfs image:
Use copy and paste!
# fw_setenv owrt_boot 'setenv bootargs \"console=ttyS0,$baudrate\";bootm 0xEC040000 - 0xEC000000'
# save
# dhcp
# setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,$baudrate
# tftpboot 0x1000000 192.168.1.101:openwrt-mpc85xx-p1020-aerohive_hiveap-330-initramfs-kernel.bin
# bootm
3) Once openwrt booted:
carefully copy and paste this into the root shell. One step at a time
# 3.0 install kmod-mtd-rw from the internet and load it
opkg update; opkg install kmod-mtd-rw
insmod mtd-rw i_want_a_brick=y
# 3.1 create scripts that modifies uboot
cat <<- "EOF" > /tmp/uboot-update.sh
. /lib/functions/system.sh
cp "/dev/mtd$(find_mtd_index 'u-boot')" /tmp/uboot
cp /tmp/uboot /tmp/uboot_patched
ofs=$(strings -n80 -td < /tmp/uboot | grep '^ [0-9]* setenv bootargs.*cp\.l' | cut -f2 -d' ')
for off in $ofs; do
printf "run owrt_boot; " | dd of=/tmp/uboot_patched bs=1 seek=${off} conv=notrunc
done
md5sum /tmp/uboot*
EOF
# 3.2 run the script to do the modification
sh /tmp/uboot-update.sh
# verify that /tmp/uboot and /tmp/uboot_patched are good
#
# my uboot was: (is printed during boot)
# U-Boot 2009.11 (Jan 12 2017 - 00:27:25), Build: jenkins-HiveOS-Honolulu_AP350_Rel-245
#
# d84b45a2e8aca60d630fbd422efc6b39 /tmp/uboot
# 6dc420f24c2028b9cf7f0c62c0c7f692 /tmp/uboot_patched
# 98ebc7e7480ce9148cd2799357a844b0 /tmp/uboot-update.sh <-- just for reference
# 3.3 this produces the /tmp/u-boot_patched file.
mtd write /tmp/uboot_patched u-boot
3) scp over the sysupgrade file to /tmp/ and run sysupgrade to flash OpenWrt:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-mpc85xx-p1020-aerohive_hiveap-330-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
4) after the reboot, you are good to go.
Other notes:
- Note that after this sysupgrade, the AP will be unavailable for 7 minutes
to reformat flash. The tri-color LED does not blink in any way to
indicate this, though there is no risk in interrupting this process,
other than the jffs2 reformat being reset.
- Add a uci-default to fix the compat version. This will prevent updates
from previous versions without going through the installation process.
- Enable CONFIG_MTD_SPLIT_UIMAGE_FW and adjust partitioning to combine
the kernel and rootfs into a single dts partition to maximize storage
space, though in practice the kernel can grow no larger than 16MiB due
to constraints of the older mpc85xx u-boot platform.
- Because of that limit, KERNEL_SIZE has been raised to 16m.
- A .tar.gz of the u-boot source for the AP330 (a.k.a. Goldengate) can
be found here[2].
- The stock-jffs2 partition is also removed to make more space -- this
is possible only now that it is no longer split away from the rootfs.
- the console-override is gone. The device will now get the console
through the bootargs. This has the advantage that you can set a different
baudrate in uboot and the linux kernel will stick with it!
- due to the repartitioning, the partition layout and names got a makeover.
- the initramfs+fdt method is now combined into a MultiImage initramfs.
The separate fdt download is no longer needed.
- added uboot-envtools to the mpc85xx target. All targets have uboot and
this way its available in the initramfs.

We actually need to enclose the whole section of partitions in a
`partitions { ... }` to assign it a `compatible = "fixed-partitions";
otherwise the partition referred to by `hwinfo` won't be registered
when bringing up MTD partitions, for example as per:
- <https://forum.openwrt.org/t/tp-link-c2600-missing-default-mac-mtd-partition-in-snapshot/103945/6>

AR8327 datasheet[1] calls the register at address 0x0010
"Power-on Strapping Register". As it has nothing to do with "strip",
let's rename it to "POWER_ON_STRAP" to make it easier to grasp.

Serial is a Cisco-compatible RJ45 next to the ethernet port.
115200-N-8 are the settings for OS and U-Boot.
Installation
------------
1. Grab the OpenWrt initramfs, rename it to 01C8A8C0.img. Place it in
the root directory of a TFTP server and serve it at
192.168.200.200/24.
2. Connect to the serial port and boot the AP. Stop autoboot in U-Boot
by pressing Enter when prompted. Credentials are identical to the one
in the APs interface. By default it is admin / new2day.
3. Set the bootcmd so the AP can boot OpenWrt by executing
$ setenv boot_openwrt "setenv bootargs;
cp.b 0xee000000 0x1000000 0x1000000; bootm 0x1000000"
$ setenv bootcmd "run boot_openwrt"
$ saveenv
If you plan on going back to the vendor firmware - the bootcmd for it
is stored in the boot_flash variable.
4. Load the initramfs image to RAM and boot by executing
$ tftpboot 0x1000000 192.168.200.200:01C8A8C0.img; bootm
5. Make a backup of the "firmware" partition if you ever wish to go back
to the vendor firmware.
6. Upload the OpenWrt sysupgrade image via SCP to the devices /tmp
folder.
7. Flash OpenWrt using sysupgrade.
$ sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-sysupgrade.bin

This commit fixes TP-Link TL-WDR4900 v1 MAC address assignment.
Previously, the MAC addrss was read for the ethernet from the "config"
partition. However, the content of this partition is dependent on the
firmware which was previously installed on the device.
Switch the MAC address source to the U-Boot partition, where the MAC
address is always present at a fixed partition. The partition was
previously already used for the WiFi MAC-addresses.

Converts the TP-Link WDR4900 v1 to use the simpleImage in the
hopes of prolonging the life of the device. While at it,
the patch makes the fdt.bin an ARTIFACT and sets the KERNEL_SIZE
to 2684 KiB as a precaution since the stock u-boot is using a
fixed kernel size.
Note: Give the image some time, it will take much longer to
extract and boot.

RAM: 1GB DDR3
FLASH: 256MiB NAND
WiFi: 2x Atheros AR9382 2x2:2 abgn
ETH: 2x BCM54616S - 1x BCM53128 8-port switch
LED: 5x LEDs (Power, WiFi1, WiFi2, N/D, SYS)
BTN: 1x RESET
Installation
------------
1. Download initrams kernel image, dtb binary and sysupgrade image.
2. Place initramfs kernel into tftp root directory. Rename to
"panda-uimage-factory".
3. Place dtb binary into tftp root directory. Rename to "panda.fdt".
4. Start tftp server on 192.168.100.8/24.
5. Power up the device with the reset button pressed. It will download
the initrams and dtb via tftp and boot into OpenWRT in RAM.
6. SSH into the device and remove the factory partitions.
> ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 --name=kernel1
> ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 --name=rootfs1
> ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 --name=devicetree1
You will have around 60 MiB of free space with that.
You can also delete "kernel2", "devicetree2", "rootfs2" and "storage"
respectively in case you do not want to go back to the vendor firmware.
7. Modify the U-Boot bootcmd to allow for booting OpenWRT
> fw_setenv bootcmd_owrt "ubi part ubi && ubi read 0x1000000 kernel
&& bootm 0x1000000"
> fw_setenv bootargs_owrt "setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200
ubi.mtd=3,2048"
> fw_setenv bootcmd "run bootargs_owrt; run bootcmd_owrt"
8. Transfer the sysupgrade image via scp into the /tmp directory.
9. Upgrade the device
> sysupgrade -n /tmp/<imagename>

This commit removes the target-specific diag.sh script. This way, the
generic one is used for the target, which uses DT-aliases to specify the
LEDs used.
This way, we are also able to use different LEDs to indicate different
states. We use green status LEDs for indicating boot and a running
system. Where possible, the red status LED is used to indicate failsafe
mode and a running upgrade.
