Specifications:
• CPU: Qualcomm IPQ8072A Quad core Cortex-A53 2.2GHz
• RAM: 1024MB of DDR3
• Storage: 4GB eMMC (contains kernel and rootfs) / 8MB NOR
(contains art and u-boot-env)
• Ethernet: 4x 1G RJ45 ports + 2 10G ports (Aquantia AQR113C)
• WLAN:
2.4GHz: Qualcomm QCN5024 4x4 (40 MHz) 802.11b/g/n/ax 1174 Mbps PHY rate
5GHz: Qualcomm QCN5054 4x4 (80 MHz) or 2x2 (160 MHz) 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax 2402 PHY rate
• LEDs:
7 x GPIO-controlled dual color LEDs + 2 GPIO-controlled single color LEDs
• Buttons: 1x soft reset / 1x WPS
• Power: 12V DC jack
A poulated serial header is onboard.
RX/TX is working, bootwait is active, secure boot is not enabled.
SSH can be activated in the stock firmware, hold WPS button til the second beep
(yes the router has a buzzer)
SSH is available on port 22200, login with user admin and
password "mac address of the router".
Installation Instructions:
• obtain serial access (https://openwrt.org/inbox/toh/qnap/301w#serial)
• stop auto boot
• setenv serverip 192.168.10.1
• setenv ipaddr 192.168.10.10
• tftpboot the initramfs image
(openwrt-ipq807x-generic-qnap_301w-initramfs-fit-uImage.itb)
• bootm
• make sure that current_entry is set to "0":
"fw_printenv -n current_entry" should be print "0". If not,
do "fw_setenv current_entry 0"
• copy openwrt-ipq807x-generic-qnap_301w-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
to the device to /tmp folder
• sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ipq807x-generic-qnap_301w-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
this flashes openwrt to the first kernel and rootfs partition (mmcblk0p1 / mmcblk0p4)
• reboot
Note: this leaves the second kernel / rootfs parition untouched. So if you want
to go back to stock, stop u-boot autoboot, "setenv current_entry 1" ,
"saveenv", "bootipq".
Stock firmware should start from the second partition.
Then do a firmwareupgrade in the stock gui, that should overwrite the openwrt
in the first partitions
Make 10G Aquantia phy's work:
The aquantia phy's need a firmware to work. This can either be loaded
in linux with a userspace tool or in u-boot.
I was not successfull to load the firmware in linux (aq-fw-download) but luckily there is
aq_load_fw available in u-boot. But first the right firmware needs to write
to the 0:ETHPHYFW mtd partition (it is empty on my device)
Grab the ethphy firmware image from:
https://github.com/kirdesde/nbg7815_gpl/blob/master/target/linux/ipq/ipq807x_64/prebuilt_images/AQR_ethphyfw.mbn
and scp that to openwrt.
Check the 0:ETHPHYFW partition number:
cat /proc/mtd|grep "0:ETHPHYFW", should be mtd10.
Backup the 0:ETHPHYFW partition:
dd if=/dev/mtd10 of=/tmp/ethphyfw.backup, scp ethphyfw.backup to a save place.
Write the new firmware image to the 0:ETHPHYFW partition:
"mtd erase /dev/mtd10", "mtd -n write AQR_ethphyfw.mbn /dev/mtd10".
Reboot to u-boot.
Check if aq_load_fw is working:
"aq_load_fw 0", that checks the firmware and if successfull,
loads iram and dram to one of the aquantia phy's.
If that worked, add the aq_load_fw to the bootcmd:
setenv bootcmd "aq_load_fw 0 && aq_load_fw 8 && bootipq"
"saveenv"
"reset"
Board reboots and the firmware load to both phy's should start and
then openwrt boots.
Check if the 10G ports work.
Note: lan port labeled "10G-2" is configured as WAN port as per default.
All other port are in the br-lan. This can be changed in the network config.

Installation instructions:
Obtaining SSH access is mandatory
https://openwrt.org/inbox/toh/xiaomi/xiaomi_redmi_ax6_ax3000#ssh_access
Installation is done by the ubiformat method, through SSH:
1. Open an SSH shell to the router
2. Copy the file openwrt-ipq807x-generic-redmi_ax6-initramfs-factory.ubi to the /tmp directory
3. Check which rootfs partition is your router booted in (0 = rootfs | 1 = rootfs_1):
nvram get flag_boot_rootfs
4. Find the rootfs and rootfs_1 mtd indexes respectively:
cat /proc/mtd
Please confirm if mtd12 and mtd13 are the correct indexes from above!
5. Use the command ubiformat to flash the opposite mtd with UBI image:
If nvram get flag_boot_rootfs returned 0:
ubiformat /dev/mtd13 -y -f /tmp/openwrt-ipq807x-generic-redmi_ax6-initramfs-factory.ubi && nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=1 && nvram set flag_last_success=1 && nvram commit

6. Reboot the device by:
reboot
Previous commands flashed an ubinized OpenWrt initramfs that will serve as the intermediate step
since OpenWrt uses unified rootfs in order to fully utilize NAND and provide enough space for packages.
Continue in order to pernamently flash OpenWrt:
7. SSH into OpenWrt from one of the LAN ports
8. Copy the file openwrt-ipq807x-generic-redmi_ax6-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin to the /tmp directory
9. Sysupgrade the device:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ipq807x-generic-redmi_ax6-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Device will reboot with OpenWrt, and then sysupgrade can be used to upgrade the device when desired.

[1] WAN MAC address:
a. First octet of WAN MAC is differ than others and OUI is not related
to TP-Link company. This probably should be fixed.
b. Flipping bits in first octet and hex delta are different for the
different MAC examples:
+-----------------+----------------+----------------+
| | Example 1 | Example 2 |
+-----------------+----------------+----------------+
| LAN | 68 = 0110 1000 | 50 = 0101 0000 |
| MAC (1st octet) | ^ ^ ^ | |
+-----------------+----------------+----------------+
| WAN | 72 = 0111 0010 | 54 = 0101 0100 |
| MAC (1st octet) | ^ ^ ^ | ^ |
+-----------------+----------------+----------------+
| HEX delta | 0xa | 0x4 |
+-----------------+----------------+----------------+
| DEC delta | 4 | 4 |
+-----------------+----------------+----------------+
c. DEC delta is a constant (4). This looks like a mistake in OEM
firmware and probably should be fixed.
Based on the above, I decided to keep correct OUI and make WAN MAC =
label + 1.
[2] Bootloaders
The device contains 3 bootloaders:
- First U-Boot: U-Boot 1.1.3 (Mar 18 2019 - 12:50:24). The First U-Boot
located on NAND Flash to load next full-feature Uboot.
- Main U-Boot + its backup: U-Boot 1.1.3 (Mar 18 2019 - 12:50:29). This
bootloader includes recovery webserver. Requires special uImages to
continue the boot process:
0x00 (os0, os1) - firmware uImage
0x40 (os0, os1) - standalone uImage (OpenWrt kernel is here)
- Additionally, both slots of the original TP-Link firmware contains
Image U-Boot: U-Boot 1.1.3 (Oct 16 2019 - 08:14:45). It checks image
magics and CRCs. We don't use this U-Boot with OpenWrt.

Update the board name defined in DTS to match online documentation and the
name encoded into factory firmware. This helps supports flashing firmware
factory images using 'sysupgrade'.
Original WHW01 device definition assumes the rootfs IMAGE_SIZE is 33 MB
instead of the correct 74 MB, and defines factory images which include
extra adjustments/padding that do not match OEM factory images and may
cause problems flashing. Update image size and build recipe to fix these.

This variant uses xiaomi factory u-boot and modified u-boot-env &
bootcmd.
By modifying uboot-env, the xiaomi firmware recovery provided in
the vendor u-boot doesn't work anymore. It's possible to put
u-boot into a state where it refuese to take any serial input.
If the u-boot is in this state, users can't restore their
firmware without taking the flash off the board.
We now have a -stock variant where the vendor u-boot is used in
a way that xiaomi firmware recovery still works, and a -ubootmod
variant where we get rid of all xiaomi components, have more
usable space and no uart console lock. These two should cover all
use cases and we don't need this variant anymore.
Drop this redmi-ax6000 variant. Existing users of this variant
should perform a u-boot mod or restore to the -stock layout.

U-Boot flash instructions:
0. OpenWrt U-Boot does not support stock layout, it comes with recovery
boot support, automatic tftp recovery and never blocks UART.
A new flash layout is introduced, we call it OpenWrt U-Boot layout,
stock flash layout and the old OpenWrt layout are not supported.
During the whole flash procedure, please do not reboot or power off
unless requested explicitly, or you will break your device.
1. Your device should already running OpenWrt.
If not, follow the instructions to flash OpenWrt:
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/11115
2. Backup BL2 Nvram Bdata Factory and FIP in case you break something or
in case you want to go back to stock firmware one day.
cat /dev/mtdblock0 > /tmp/BL2.bin
cat /dev/mtdblock1 > /tmp/Nvram.bin
cat /dev/mtdblock2 > /tmp/Bdata.bin
cat /dev/mtdblock3 > /tmp/Factory.bin
cat /dev/mtdblock4 > /tmp/FIP.bin
And save all whose bin files to somewhere safe.
Then backup your configurations, since ubiformat for entire mtd device is
required to create new ubootenv volume for OpenWrt U-Boot.
3. Run the following cmd to boot into an initramfs with the new OpenWrt
U-Boot layout that expand ubi partion to the end of flash:
ubiformat /dev/mtd7 -y -f /tmp/ax6000-ubootmod-initramfs-factory.ubi
4. After boot into initramfs, check mtd partion info.
The ubi partion should be mtd5
root@OpenWrt:~# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00100000 00020000 BL2
mtd1: 00040000 00020000 Nvram
mtd2: 00040000 00020000 Bdata
mtd3: 00200000 00020000 Factory
mtd4: 00200000 00020000 FIP
mtd5: 07a80000 00020000 ubi
5. Load kmod-mtd-rw to temporarily make the bootloader partions writable.
The kmod-mtd-rw is from the feeds, it is not packed in initramfs-factory
by default.
To install kmod-mtd-rw via opkg:
opkg update && opkg install kmod-mtd-rw
Or, download kmod-mtd-rw.ipk from OpenWrt server and install it manually
e.g:
https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/mediatek/filogic/kmods/
Select your OpenWrt release version and kernel version accordingly.
Load kmod-mtd-rw:
insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/mtd-rw.ko i_want_a_brick=1
6. Run the following cmd to clean all pending crash dumps in pstore,
or OpenWrt U-Boot may boot into NAND recovery or tftp recovery.
rm -f /sys/fs/pstore/*
7. Format ubi and create new ubootenv volume:
ubidetach -p /dev/mtd5; ubiformat /dev/mtd5 -y; ubiattach -p /dev/mtd5
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 0 -N ubootenv -s 128KiB
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 1 -N ubootenv2 -s 128KiB
8. This is optional. Skip this if you do not want to have NAND recovery
boot feature offered by OpenWrt U-Boot. Don't worry, you always have
automatic tftp recovery feature enabled.
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 2 -N recovery -s 10MiB
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_2 /tmp/ax6000-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb
9. Now, flash new U-Boot. Bye-bye ugly stock U-Boot.
mtd write /tmp/ax6000-ubootmod-preloader.bin BL2
mtd write /tmp/ax6000-ubootmod-bl31-uboot.fip FIP
10. Flash the squashfs-sysupgrade.bin as usual:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/ax6000-ubootmod-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb
Enjoy!

Several sunxi devices come with multiple mmc devices. On such devices,
the mmc device order is unpredictable, so using /dev/mmcblk0p2 as root
device doesn't always work, which results in unbootable devices.
For the Banana Pi BPI-R3 in the mediatek target, this has been solved by
defining aliases for the mmc devices in the DTS. Ideally we would do the
same here, but for sunxi-a64 we already use UUID probing, so let's start
with that (5f2ff607e2 ("uboot-sunxi: a64: allow booting directly from
eMMC")).
Since we're building and including u-boot in each supported device
image, and this method has been proven to work fine for a64, let's just
change the default u-boot env file to do the same.

In this implementation, the flash partition layout is adjusted to avoid
modifying the uboot environment of mtdparts. This ensures that the 30M
ubi_kernel partition remains aligned with the stock ubi partition, and
the kernel volume is placed in it. This allows the stock uboot to boot
from it without changing the mtdparts, which is useful for reverting back
to the stock firmware using Xiaomi Firmware Tools. In actual testing,
modifying mtdparts has been found to break Xiaomi Firmware Tools.
1. use ARTIFACTS to generate initramfs-factory.ubi for easy installation.
2. The NAND flash layout is changed to allow for reverting back to the
stock firmware.
3. Before performing sysupgrade, do some cleanup in platform_pre_upgrade
to ensure a clean installation of OpenWRT.
4. Setup the uboot env to ensure that the system always boot, which can
be helpful for users who may forget to do this before sysupgrade in
the initramfs.
New flash instructions:
1. Gain ssh access. Please refer to:
https://openwrt.org/toh/xiaomi/redmi_ax6000#installation)
2. Check which system current u-boot is loading from:
COMMAND: `cat /proc/cmdline`
sample OUTPUT: `console=ttyS0,115200n1 loglevel=8 firmware=1 uart_en=1`
if firmware=1, current system is ubi1
if firmware=0, current system is ubi0
3. Setup nvram and write the firmware:
If the current system is ubi1, please set it up so that the next time
it will boot from ubi, and write the firmware to ubi:
```
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set uart_en=1
nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=0
nvram set flag_last_success=0
nvram set flag_boot_success=1
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=0
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y -f /tmp/initramfs-factory.ubi
```
If the current system is ubi, please set it up so that the next time
it will boot from ubi1, and write the firmware to ubi1:
```
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set uart_en=1
nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=1
nvram set flag_last_success=1
nvram set flag_boot_success=1
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=0
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
ubiformat /dev/mtd9 -y -f /tmp/initramfs-factory.ubi
```
4. After rebooting, the system should now boot into the openwrt initramfs.
Flash the squashfs-sysupgrade.bin via using ssh or luci.
```
sysupgrade -n /tmp/squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
```
Done.
For existing users of the Redmi AX6000 running OpenWrt, here are the steps to
switch to this new layout:
1. Flash initramfs-factory.ubi
```
mtd -r -e ubi write /tmp/initramfs-factory.ubi ubi
```
2. After rebooting, the system will boot into the new openwrt-initramfs.
Log in and perform a sysupgrade to complete the process.
```

FCC ID: A8J-EAP1750H
Engenius EAP1750H is an indoor wireless access point with
1 Gb ethernet port, dual-band wireless,
internal antenna plates, and 802.3at PoE+
**Specification:**
- QCA9558 SOC
- QCA9880 WLAN PCI card, 5 GHz, 3x3, 26dBm
- AR8035-A PHY RGMII GbE with PoE+ IN
- 40 MHz clock
- 16 MB FLASH MX25L12845EMI-10G
- 2x 64 MB RAM NT5TU32M16FG
- UART at J10 populated
- 4 internal antenna plates (5 dbi, omni-directional)
- 5 LEDs, 1 button (power, eth0, 2G, 5G, WPS) (reset)
**MAC addresses:**
MAC addresses are labeled as ETH, 2.4G, and 5GHz
Only one Vendor MAC address in flash
eth0 ETH *:fb art 0x0
phy1 2.4G *:fc ---
phy0 5GHz *:fd ---
**Serial Access:**
the RX line 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 at J10
**Installation:**
2 ways to flash factory.bin from OEM:
Method 1: Firmware upgrade page:
OEM webpage at 192.168.1.1
username and password "admin"
Navigate to "Firmware Upgrade" page from left pane
Click Browse and select the factory.bin image
Upload and verify checksum
Click Continue to confirm and wait 3 minutes
Method 2: Serial to load Failsafe webpage:
After connecting to serial console and rebooting...
Interrupt uboot with any key pressed rapidly
execute `run failsafe_boot` OR `bootm 0x9fd70000`
wait a minute
connect to ethernet and navigate to
"192.168.1.1/index.htm"
Select the factory.bin image and upload
wait about 3 minutes
**Return to OEM:**
If you have a serial cable, see Serial Failsafe instructions
otherwise, uboot-env can be used to make uboot load the failsafe image
ssh into openwrt and run
`fw_setenv rootfs_checksum 0`
reboot, wait 3 minutes
connect to ethernet and navigate to 192.168.1.1/index.htm
select OEM firmware image from Engenius and click upgrade
**TFTP recovery:**
Requires serial console, reset button does nothing
rename initramfs to 'vmlinux-art-ramdisk'
make available on TFTP server at 192.168.1.101
power board, interrupt boot
execute tftpboot and bootm 0x81000000
NOTE: 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.
**Format of OEM firmware image:**
The OEM software of EAP1750H is a heavily modified version
of Openwrt Kamikaze. One of the many modifications
is to the sysupgrade program. Image verification is performed
simply by the successful ungzip and untar of the supplied file
and name check and header verification of the resulting contents.
To form a factory.bin that is accepted by OEM Openwrt build,
the kernel and rootfs must have specific names...
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-eap1750h-uImage-lzma.bin
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-eap1750h-root.squashfs
and begin with the respective headers (uImage, squashfs).
Then the files must be tarballed and gzipped.
The resulting binary is actually a tar.gz file in disguise.
This can be verified by using binwalk on the OEM firmware images,
ungzipping then untaring.
Newer EnGenius software requires more checks but their script
includes a way to skip them, otherwise the tar must include
a text file with the version and md5sums in a deprecated format.
The OEM upgrade script is at /etc/fwupgrade.sh.
OKLI kernel loader is required because the OEM software
expects the kernel to be no greater than 1536k
and the factory.bin upgrade procedure would otherwise
overwrite part of the kernel when writing rootfs.
Note on PLL-data cells:
The default PLL register values will not work
because of the external AR8035 switch between
the SOC and the ethernet port.
For QCA955x series, the PLL registers for eth0 and eth1
can be see in the DTSI as 0x28 and 0x48 respectively.
Therefore the PLL registers can be read from uboot
for each link speed after attempting tftpboot
or another network action using that link speed
with `md 0x18050028 1` and `md 0x18050048 1`.
The clock delay required for RGMII can be applied
at the PHY side, using the at803x driver `phy-mode`.
Therefore the PLL registers for GMAC0
do not need the bits for delay on the MAC side.
This is possible due to fixes in at803x driver
since Linux 5.1 and 5.3

3 - VCC (3.3V)
4 - GND
5 - TX
Installation:
There are two methods of installation:
- Using serial console [1] - requires some disassembly, 3.3V USB-Serial
adapter, TFTP server, and removing a single T10 screw,
but with much less manual steps, and is generally recommended, being
safer.
- Using stock firmware root shell exploit, SSH and TFTP [2]. Does not
work on some rare versions of stock firmware. A more involved, and
requires installing `mkenvimage` from u-boot-tools package if you
choose to rebuild your own environment, but can be used without
disassembly or removal from installation point, if you have the
credentials.
If for some reason, size of your sysupgrade image exceeds 13312kB,
proceed with method [1]. For official images this is not likely to
happen ever.
[1] Using serial console:
0. Connect serial console to H1 header. Ensure the serial converter
does not back-power the board, otherwise it will fail to boot.
1. Power-on the board. Then quickly connect serial converter to PC and
hit Ctrl+C in the terminal to break boot sequence. If you're lucky,
you'll enter U-boot shell. Then skip to point 3.
Connection parameters are 115200-8-N-1.
2. Allow the board to boot. Press the reset button, so the board
reboots into U-boot again and go back to point 1.
3. Set the "bootcmd" variable to disable the dual-boot feature of the
system and ensure that uImage is loaded. This is critical step, and
needs to be done only on initial installation.
> setenv bootcmd "bootm 0x9f040000"
> saveenv
4. Boot the OpenWrt initramfs using TFTP. Replace IP addresses as needed:
> setenv serverip 192.168.1.2
> setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
> tftpboot 0x81000000 openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_zf7025-initramfs-kernel.bin
> bootm 0x81000000
5. Optional, but highly recommended: back up contents of "firmware" partition:
$ ssh root@192.168.1.1 cat /dev/mtd1 > ruckus_zf7025_fw1_backup.bin
6. Copy over sysupgrade image, and perform actual installation. OpenWrt
shall boot from flash afterwards:
$ ssh root@192.168.1.1
# sysupgrade -n openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_zf7025-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
[2] Using stock root shell:
0. Reset the device to factory defaullts. Power-on the device and after
it boots, hold the reset button near Ethernet connectors for 5
seconds.
1. Connect the device to the network. It will acquire address over DHCP,
so either find its address using list of DHCP leases by looking for
label MAC address, or try finding it by scanning for SSH port:
$ nmap 10.42.0.0/24 -p22
From now on, we assume your computer has address 10.42.0.1 and the device
has address 10.42.0.254.
2. Set up a TFTP server on your computer. We assume that TFTP server
root is at /srv/tftp.
3. Obtain root shell. Connect to the device over SSH. The SSHD ond the
frmware is pretty ancient and requires enabling HMAC-MD5.
$ ssh 10.42.0.254 \
-o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null \
-o StrictHostKeyCheking=no \
-o MACs=hmac-md5
Login. User is "super", password is "sp-admin".
Now execute a hidden command:
Ruckus
It is case-sensitive. Copy and paste the following string,
including quotes. There will be no output on the console for that.
";/bin/sh;"
Hit "enter". The AP will respond with:
grrrr
OK
Now execute another hidden command:
!v54!
At "What's your chow?" prompt just hit "enter".
Congratulations, you should now be dropped to Busybox shell with root
permissions.
4. Optional, but highly recommended: backup the flash contents before
installation. At your PC ensure the device can write the firmware
over TFTP:
$ sudo touch /srv/tftp/ruckus_zf7025_firmware{1,2}.bin
$ sudo chmod 666 /srv/tftp/ruckus_zf7025_firmware{1,2}.bin
Locate partitions for primary and secondary firmware image.
NEVER blindly copy over MTD nodes, because MTD indices change
depending on the currently active firmware, and all partitions are
writable!
# grep rcks_wlan /proc/mtd
Copy over both images using TFTP, this will be useful in case you'd
like to return to stock FW in future. Make sure to backup both, as
OpenWrt uses bot firmwre partitions for storage!
# tftp -l /dev/<rcks_wlan.main_mtd> -r ruckus_zf7025_firmware1.bin -p 10.42.0.1
# tftp -l /dev/<rcks_wlan.bkup_mtd> -r ruckus_zf7025_firmware2.bin -p 10.42.0.1
When the command finishes, copy over the dump to a safe place for
storage.
$ cp /srv/tftp/ruckus_zf7025_firmware{1,2}.bin ~/
5. Ensure the system is running from the BACKUP image, i.e. from
rcks_wlan.bkup partition or "image 2". Otherwise the installation
WILL fail, and you will need to access mtd0 device to write image
which risks overwriting the bootloader, and so is not covered here
and not supported.
Switching to backup firmware can be achieved by executing a few
consecutive reboots of the device, or by updating the stock firmware. The
system will boot from the image it was not running from previously.
Stock firmware available to update was conveniently dumped in point 4 :-)
6. Prepare U-boot environment image.
Install u-boot-tools package. Alternatively, if you build your own
images, OpenWrt provides mkenvimage in host staging directory as well.
It is recommended to extract environment from the device, and modify
it, rather then relying on defaults:
$ sudo touch /srv/tftp/u-boot-env.bin
$ sudo chmod 666 /srv/tftp/u-boot-env.bin
On the device, find the MTD partition on which environment resides.
Beware, it may change depending on currently active firmware image!
# grep u-boot-env /proc/mtd
Now, copy over the partition
# tftp -l /dev/mtd<N> -r u-boot-env.bin -p 10.42.0.1
Store the stock environment in a safe place:
$ cp /srv/tftp/u-boot-env.bin ~/
Extract the values from the dump:
$ strings u-boot-env.bin | tee u-boot-env.txt
Now clean up the debris at the end of output, you should end up with
each variable defined once. After that, set the bootcmd variable like
this:
bootcmd=bootm 0x9f040000
You should end up with something like this:
bootcmd=bootm 0x9f040000
bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200 rootfstype=squashfs init=/sbin/init

7. Perform actual installation. Copy over OpenWrt sysupgrade image to
TFTP root:
$ sudo cp openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_zf7025-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin /srv/tftp
Now load both to the device over TFTP:
# tftp -l /tmp/u-boot-env.bin -r u-boot-env.bin -g 10.42.0.1
# tftp -l /tmp/openwrt.bin -r openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_zf7025-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin -g 10.42.0.1
Verify checksums of both images to ensure the transfer over TFTP
was completed:
# sha256sum /tmp/u-boot-env.bin /tmp/openwrt.bin
And compare it against source images:
$ sha256sum /srv/tftp/u-boot-env.bin /srv/tftp/openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_zf7025-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Locate MTD partition of the primary image:
# grep rcks_wlan.main /proc/mtd
Now, write the images in place. Write U-boot environment last, so
unit still can boot from backup image, should power failure occur during
this. Replace MTD placeholders with real MTD nodes:
# flashcp /tmp/openwrt.bin /dev/<rcks_wlan.main_mtd>
# flashcp /tmp/u-boot-env.bin /dev/<u-boot-env_mtd>
Finally, reboot the device. The device should directly boot into
OpenWrt. Look for the characteristic power LED blinking pattern.
# reboot -f
After unit boots, it should be available at the usual 192.168.1.1/24.
Return to factory firmware:
1. Boot into OpenWrt initramfs as for initial installation. To do that
without disassembly, you can write an initramfs image to the device
using 'sysupgrade -F' first.
2. Unset the "bootcmd" variable:
fw_setenv bootcmd ""
3. Concatenate the firmware backups, if you took them during installation using method 2:
$ cat ruckus_zf7025_fw1_backup.bin ruckus_zf7025_fw2_backup.bin > ruckus_zf7025_backup.bin
3. Write factory images downloaded from manufacturer website into
fwconcat0 and fwconcat1 MTD partitions, or restore backup you took
before installation:
# mtd write ruckus_zf7025_backup.bin /dev/mtd1
4. Reboot the system, it should load into factory firmware again.
Quirks and known issues:
- Flash layout is changed from the factory, to use both firmware image
partitions for storage using mtd-concat, and uImage format is used to
actually boot the system, which rules out the dual-boot capability.
- The 2.4 GHz radio has its own EEPROM on board, not connected to CPU.
- The stock firmware has dual-boot capability, which is not supported in
OpenWrt by choice.
It is controlled by data in the top 64kB of RAM which is unmapped,
to avoid the interference in the boot process and accidental
switch to the inactive image, although boot script presence in
form of "bootcmd" variable should prevent this entirely.
- On some versions of stock firmware, it is possible to obtain root shell,
however not much is available in terms of debugging facitilies.
1. Login to the rkscli
2. Execute hidden command "Ruckus"
3. Copy and paste ";/bin/sh;" including quotes. This is required only
once, the payload will be stored in writable filesystem.
4. Execute hidden command "!v54!". Press Enter leaving empty reply for
"What's your chow?" prompt.

TFTP Installation (initramfs image only & recommend):
1. Set local tftp server IP: 192.168.1.254 and NetMask: 255.255.255.0
2. Rename initramfs-kernel.bin to "factory.bin" and put it in the root
directory of the tftp server. (tftpd64 is a good choice for Windows)
3. Start the TFTP server, plug in the power supply, and wait for the
system to boot.
4. Backup "firmware" partition and rename it to "firmware.bin", we need
it to back to stock firmware.
5. Use "fw_printenv" command to list envs.
If "firmware_select=2" is observed then set u-boot enviroment:
/# fw_setenv firmware_select 1
6. Apply sysupgrade.bin in OpenWrt LuCI.
Web UI Installation:
1. Apply update by uploading initramfs-factory.bin to the web UI.
2. Use "fw_printenv" command to list envs.
If "firmware_select=2" is observed then set u-boot enviroment:
/# fw_setenv firmware_select 1
3. Apply squashfs-sysupgrade.bin in OpenWrt LuCI.
Recovery to stock firmware:
a. Upload "firmware.bin" to OpenWrt /tmp, then execute:
/# mtd -r write /tmp/firmware.bin firmware
b. We can also write factory image "UploadBrush-bin.img" to firmware
partition to recovery. Upload image file to /tmp, then execute:
/# mtd erase firmware
/# mtd -r write /tmp/UploadBrush-bin.img firmware
How to extract stock firmware image:
Download stock firmware, then use openssl:

Installation from Serial Console
------------
1. Connect to the serial console. Power up the device and interrupt
autoboot when prompted
2. Connect a TFTP server reachable at 192.168.1.0/24
(e.g. 192.168.1.66) to the ethernet port. Serve the OpenWrt
initramfs image as "openwrt.bin"
3. To test OpenWrt only, go to step 4 and never execute step 5;
To install, auto_recovery should be disabled first, and boot_part
should be set to 1 if its current value is not.
ath> setenv auto_recovery no
ath> setenv boot_part 1
ath> saveenv
4. Boot the initramfs image using U-Boot
ath> setenv serverip 192.168.1.66
ath> tftpboot 0x84000000 openwrt.bin
ath> bootm
5. Copy the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the device using scp and
install it like a normal upgrade (with no need to keeping config
since no config from "previous OpenWRT installation" could be kept
at all)
# sysupgrade -n /path/to/openwrt/sysupgrade.bin
Note: Like many other routers produced by Linksys, it has a dual
firmware flash layout, but because I do not know how to handle
it, I decide to disable it for more usable space. (That is why
the "auto_recovery" above should be disabled before installing
OpenWRT.) If someone is interested in generating factory
firmware image capable to flash from stock firmware, as well as
restoring the dual firmware layout, commented-out layout for the
original secondary partitions left in the device tree may be a
useful hint.
Installation from Web Interface
------------
1. Login to the router via its web interface (default password: admin)
2. Find the firmware update interface under "Connectivity/Basic"
3. Choose the OpenWrt factory image and click "Start"
4. If the router still boots into the stock firmware, it means that
the OpenWrt factory image has been installed to the secondary
partitions and failed to boot (since OpenWrt on EA4500 v3 does not
support dual boot yet), and the router switched back to the stock
firmware on the primary partitions. You have to install a stock
firmware (e.g. 3.1.6.172023, downloadable from
https://www.linksys.com/support-article?articleNum=148385 ) first
(to the secondary partitions) , and after that, install OpenWrt
factory image (to the primary partitions). After successful
installation of OpenWrt, auto_recovery will be automatically
disabled and router will only boot from the primary partitions.

All contents of staging_dir/image are included in Image Builder (IB) in
case some binary needs to be included in final image. But in case of
this package, all sources are stored there and those clutter the final
tarball of IB for no reason. Those sources are not used during image
creation and are just dead weight. To put it in perspective, the IB for

Add support for the TP-Link SG2210P switch. This is an RTL8380 based
switch with eight RJ-45 ports with 802.3af PoE, and two SFP ports.
This device shares the same board with the SG2008P and SG2008. To
model this, declare all the capabilities in the sg2xxx dtsi, and
disable unpopulated on the lower end models.
Specifications:
---------------
- SoC: Realtek RTL8380M
- Flash: 32 MiB SPI flash (Vendor varies)
- RAM: 256 MiB (Vendor varies)
- Ethernet: 8x 10/100/1000 Mbps with PoE (all ports)
2x SFP ports
- Buttons: 1x "Reset" button on front panel
- Power: 53.5V DC barrel jack
- UART: 1x serial header, unpopulated
- PoE: 2x TI TPS23861 I2C PoE controller
Works:
------
- (8) RJ-45 ethernet ports
- (2) SFP ports (with caveats)
- Switch functions
- System LED
Not yet enabled:
----------------
- Power-over-Ethernet (driver works, but doesn't enable "auto" mode)
- PoE LEDs
Enabling SFP ports:
-------------------
The SFP port control lines are hardwired, except for tx-disable. These
lines are controller by the RTL8231 in shift register mode. There is
no driver support for this yet.
However, to enable the lasers on SFP1 and SFP2 respectively:
echo 0x0510ff00 > /sys/kernel/debug/rtl838x/led/led_p_en_ctrl
echo 0x140 > /sys/kernel/debug/rtl838x/led/led_sw_p_ctrl.26
echo 0x140 > /sys/kernel/debug/rtl838x/led/led_sw_p_ctrl.24
Install via serial console/tftp:
--------------------------------
The footprints R27 (0201) and R28 (0402) are not populated. To enable
serial console, 50 ohm resistors should be soldered -- any value from
0 ohm to 50 ohm will work. R27 can be replaced by a solder bridge.
The u-boot firmware drops to a TP-Link specific "BOOTUTIL" shell at
38400 baud. There is no known way to exit out of this shell, and no
way to do anything useful.
Ideally, one would trick the bootloader into flashing the sysupgrade
image first. However, if the image exceeds 6MiB in size, it will not
work. The sysupgrade image can also be flashed. To install OpenWrt:
Prepare a tftp server with:
1. server address: 192.168.0.146
2. the image as: "uImage.img"
Power on device, and stop boot by pressing any key.
Once the shell is active:
1. Ground out the CLK (pin 16) of the ROM (U7)
2. Select option "3. Start"
3. Bootloader notes that "The kernel has been damaged!"
4. Release CLK as sson as bootloader thinks image is corrupted.
5. Bootloader enters automatic recovery -- details printed on console
6. Watch as the bootloader flashes and boots OpenWrt.

WatchGuard AP100 is an indoor wireless access point with
1 Gb ethernet port, dual-band but single-radio wireless,
internal antenna plates, and 802.3at PoE+
this board is a Senao device:
the hardware is equivalent to EnGenius EAP300 v2
the software is modified Senao SDK which is based on openwrt and uboot
including image checksum verification at boot time,
and a failsafe image that boots if checksum fails
**Specification:**
- AR9344 SOC MIPS 74kc, 2.4 GHz AND 5 GHz WMAC, 2x2
- AR8035-A EPHY RGMII GbE with PoE+ IN
- 25 MHz clock
- 16 MB FLASH mx25l12805d
- 2x 64 MB RAM
- UART console J11, populated
- GPIO watchdog GPIO 16, 20 sec toggle
- 2 antennas 5 dBi, internal omni-directional plates
- 5 LEDs power, eth0 link/data, 2G, 5G
- 1 button reset
**MAC addresses:**
Label has no MAC
Only one Vendor MAC address in flash at art 0x0
eth0 ---- *:e5 art 0x0 -2
phy0 ---- *:e5 art 0x0 -2
**Installation:**
Method 1: OEM webpage
use OEM webpage for firmware upgrade to upload factory.bin
Method 2: root shell
It may be necessary to use a Watchguard router to flash the image to the AP
and / or to downgrade the software on the AP to access SSH
For some Watchguard devices, serial console over UART is disabled.
NOTE: DHCP is not enabled by default after flashing
**TFTP recovery:**
reset button has no function at boot time
only possible with modified uboot environment,
(see commit message for Watchguard AP300)
**Return to OEM:**
user should make backup of MTD partitions
and write the backups back to mtd devices
in order to revert to OEM reliably
It may be possible to use sysupgrade
with an OEM image as well...
(not tested)
**OEM upgrade info:**
The OEM upgrade script is at /etc/fwupgrade.sh
OKLI kernel loader is required because the OEM software
expects the kernel to be no greater than 1536k
and the factory.bin upgrade procedure would otherwise
overwrite part of the kernel when writing rootfs.
**Note on eth0 PLL-data:**
The default Ethernet Configuration register values will not work
because of the external AR8035 switch between
the SOC and the ethernet port.
For AR934x series, the PLL registers for eth0
can be see in the DTSI as 0x2c.
Therefore the PLL registers can be read from uboot
for each link speed after attempting tftpboot
or another network action using that link speed
with `md 0x1805002c 1`.
The clock delay required for RGMII can be applied
at the PHY side, using the at803x driver `phy-mode`.
Therefore the PLL registers for GMAC0
do not need the bits for delay on the MAC side.
This is possible due to fixes in at803x driver
since Linux 5.1 and 5.3
**Note on WatchGuard Magic string:**
The OEM upgrade script is a modified version of
the generic Senao sysupgrade script
which is used on EnGenius devices.
On WatchGuard boards produced by Senao,
images are verified using a md5sum checksum of
the upgrade image concatenated with a magic string.
this checksum is then appended to the end of the final image.
This variable does not apply to all the senao devices
so set to null string as default

Installation:
There are two methods of installation:
- Using serial console [1] - requires some disassembly, 3.3V USB-Serial
adapter, TFTP server, and removing a single T10 screw,
but with much less manual steps, and is generally recommended, being
safer.
- Using stock firmware root shell exploit, SSH and TFTP [2]. Does not
work on some rare versions of stock firmware. A more involved, and
requires installing `mkenvimage` from u-boot-tools package if you
choose to rebuild your own environment, but can be used without
disassembly or removal from installation point, if you have the
credentials.
If for some reason, size of your sysupgrade image exceeds 13312kB,
proceed with method [1]. For official images this is not likely to
happen ever.
[1] Using serial console:
0. Connect serial console to H1 header. Ensure the serial converter
does not back-power the board, otherwise it will fail to boot.
1. Power-on the board. Then quickly connect serial converter to PC and
hit Ctrl+C in the terminal to break boot sequence. If you're lucky,
you'll enter U-boot shell. Then skip to point 3.
Connection parameters are 115200-8-N-1.
2. Allow the board to boot. Press the reset button, so the board
reboots into U-boot again and go back to point 1.
3. Set the "bootcmd" variable to disable the dual-boot feature of the
system and ensure that uImage is loaded. This is critical step, and
needs to be done only on initial installation.
> setenv bootcmd "bootm 0x9f040000"
> saveenv
4. Boot the OpenWrt initramfs using TFTP. Replace IP addresses as needed:
> setenv serverip 192.168.1.2
> setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
> tftpboot 0x81000000 openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_zf7321-initramfs-kernel.bin
> bootm 0x81000000
5. Optional, but highly recommended: back up contents of "firmware" partition:
$ ssh root@192.168.1.1 cat /dev/mtd1 > ruckus_zf7321_fw1_backup.bin
$ ssh root@192.168.1.1 cat /dev/mtd5 > ruckus_zf7321_fw2_backup.bin
6. Copy over sysupgrade image, and perform actual installation. OpenWrt
shall boot from flash afterwards:
$ ssh root@192.168.1.1
# sysupgrade -n openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_zf7321-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
[2] Using stock root shell:
0. Reset the device to factory defaullts. Power-on the device and after
it boots, hold the reset button near Ethernet connectors for 5
seconds.
1. Connect the device to the network. It will acquire address over DHCP,
so either find its address using list of DHCP leases by looking for
label MAC address, or try finding it by scanning for SSH port:
$ nmap 10.42.0.0/24 -p22
From now on, we assume your computer has address 10.42.0.1 and the device
has address 10.42.0.254.
2. Set up a TFTP server on your computer. We assume that TFTP server
root is at /srv/tftp.
3. Obtain root shell. Connect to the device over SSH. The SSHD ond the
frmware is pretty ancient and requires enabling HMAC-MD5.
$ ssh 10.42.0.254 \
-o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null \
-o StrictHostKeyCheking=no \
-o MACs=hmac-md5
Login. User is "super", password is "sp-admin".
Now execute a hidden command:
Ruckus
It is case-sensitive. Copy and paste the following string,
including quotes. There will be no output on the console for that.
";/bin/sh;"
Hit "enter". The AP will respond with:
grrrr
OK
Now execute another hidden command:
!v54!
At "What's your chow?" prompt just hit "enter".
Congratulations, you should now be dropped to Busybox shell with root
permissions.
4. Optional, but highly recommended: backup the flash contents before
installation. At your PC ensure the device can write the firmware
over TFTP:
$ sudo touch /srv/tftp/ruckus_zf7321_firmware{1,2}.bin
$ sudo chmod 666 /srv/tftp/ruckus_zf7321_firmware{1,2}.bin
Locate partitions for primary and secondary firmware image.
NEVER blindly copy over MTD nodes, because MTD indices change
depending on the currently active firmware, and all partitions are
writable!
# grep rcks_wlan /proc/mtd
Copy over both images using TFTP, this will be useful in case you'd
like to return to stock FW in future. Make sure to backup both, as
OpenWrt uses bot firmwre partitions for storage!
# tftp -l /dev/<rcks_wlan.main_mtd> -r ruckus_zf7321_firmware1.bin -p 10.42.0.1
# tftp -l /dev/<rcks_wlan.bkup_mtd> -r ruckus_zf7321_firmware2.bin -p 10.42.0.1
When the command finishes, copy over the dump to a safe place for
storage.
$ cp /srv/tftp/ruckus_zf7321_firmware{1,2}.bin ~/
5. Ensure the system is running from the BACKUP image, i.e. from
rcks_wlan.bkup partition or "image 2". Otherwise the installation
WILL fail, and you will need to access mtd0 device to write image
which risks overwriting the bootloader, and so is not covered here
and not supported.
Switching to backup firmware can be achieved by executing a few
consecutive reboots of the device, or by updating the stock firmware. The
system will boot from the image it was not running from previously.
Stock firmware available to update was conveniently dumped in point 4 :-)
6. Prepare U-boot environment image.
Install u-boot-tools package. Alternatively, if you build your own
images, OpenWrt provides mkenvimage in host staging directory as well.
It is recommended to extract environment from the device, and modify
it, rather then relying on defaults:
$ sudo touch /srv/tftp/u-boot-env.bin
$ sudo chmod 666 /srv/tftp/u-boot-env.bin
On the device, find the MTD partition on which environment resides.
Beware, it may change depending on currently active firmware image!
# grep u-boot-env /proc/mtd
Now, copy over the partition
# tftp -l /dev/mtd<N> -r u-boot-env.bin -p 10.42.0.1
Store the stock environment in a safe place:
$ cp /srv/tftp/u-boot-env.bin ~/
Extract the values from the dump:
$ strings u-boot-env.bin | tee u-boot-env.txt
Now clean up the debris at the end of output, you should end up with
each variable defined once. After that, set the bootcmd variable like
this:
bootcmd=bootm 0x9f040000
You should end up with something like this:
bootcmd=bootm 0x9f040000
bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200 rootfstype=squashfs init=/sbin/init
baudrate=115200
ethaddr=0x00:0xaa:0xbb:0xcc:0xdd:0xee
mtdparts=mtdparts=ar7100-nor0:256k(u-boot),13312k(rcks_wlan.main),2048k(datafs),256k(u-boot-env),512k(Board Data),13312k(rcks_wlan.bkup)
mtdids=nor0=ar7100-nor0
bootdelay=2
ethact=eth0
filesize=78a000
fileaddr=81000000
partition=nor0,0
mtddevnum=0
mtddevname=u-boot
ipaddr=10.0.0.1
serverip=10.0.0.5
stdin=serial
stdout=serial
stderr=serial
These are the defaults, you can use most likely just this as input to
mkenvimage.
Now, create environment image and copy it over to TFTP root:
$ mkenvimage -s 0x40000 -b -o u-boot-env.bin u-boot-env.txt
$ sudo cp u-boot-env.bin /srv/tftp
This is the same image, gzipped and base64-encoded:

7. Perform actual installation. Copy over OpenWrt sysupgrade image to
TFTP root:
$ sudo cp openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_zf7321-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin /srv/tftp
Now load both to the device over TFTP:
# tftp -l /tmp/u-boot-env.bin -r u-boot-env.bin -g 10.42.0.1
# tftp -l /tmp/openwrt.bin -r openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_zf7321-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin -g 10.42.0.1
Vverify checksums of both images to ensure the transfer over TFTP
was completed:
# sha256sum /tmp/u-boot-env.bin /tmp/openwrt.bin
And compare it against source images:
$ sha256sum /srv/tftp/u-boot-env.bin /srv/tftp/openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_zf7321-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Locate MTD partition of the primary image:
# grep rcks_wlan.main /proc/mtd
Now, write the images in place. Write U-boot environment last, so
unit still can boot from backup image, should power failure occur during
this. Replace MTD placeholders with real MTD nodes:
# flashcp /tmp/openwrt.bin /dev/<rcks_wlan.main_mtd>
# flashcp /tmp/u-boot-env.bin /dev/<u-boot-env_mtd>
Finally, reboot the device. The device should directly boot into
OpenWrt. Look for the characteristic power LED blinking pattern.
# reboot -f
After unit boots, it should be available at the usual 192.168.1.1/24.
Return to factory firmware:
1. Boot into OpenWrt initramfs as for initial installation. To do that
without disassembly, you can write an initramfs image to the device
using 'sysupgrade -F' first.
2. Unset the "bootcmd" variable:
fw_setenv bootcmd ""
3. Write factory images downloaded from manufacturer website into
fwconcat0 and fwconcat1 MTD partitions, or restore backup you took
before installation:
mtd write ruckus_zf7321_fw1_backup.bin /dev/mtd1
mtd write ruckus_zf7321_fw2_backup.bin /dev/mtd5
4. Reboot the system, it should load into factory firmware again.
Quirks and known issues:
- Flash layout is changed from the factory, to use both firmware image
partitions for storage using mtd-concat, and uImage format is used to
actually boot the system, which rules out the dual-boot capability.
- The 5GHz radio has its own EEPROM on board, not connected to CPU.
- The stock firmware has dual-boot capability, which is not supported in
OpenWrt by choice.
It is controlled by data in the top 64kB of RAM which is unmapped,
to avoid the interference in the boot process and accidental
switch to the inactive image, although boot script presence in
form of "bootcmd" variable should prevent this entirely.
- U-boot disables JTAG when starting. To re-enable it, you need to
execute the following command before booting:

Hardware highligts:
- CPU: Atheros AR9344 SoC at 560 MHz
- RAM: 128MB DDR2
- Flash: 32MB SPI-NOR
- Wi-Fi 2.4GHz: AR9344 built-in 2x2 MIMO radio
- Wi-Fi 5Ghz: AR9582 2x2 MIMO radio (Only in ZF7372)
- Antennas:
- Separate internal active antennas with beamforming support on both
bands with 7 elements per band, each controlled by 74LV164 GPIO
expanders, attached to GPIOs of each radio.
- Two dual-band external RP-SMA antenna connections on "7372-E"
variant.
- Ethernet 1: single Gigabit Ethernet port through AR8035 gigabit PHY

Installation:
There are two methods of installation:
- Using serial console [1] - requires some disassembly, 3.3V USB-Serial
adapter, TFTP server, and removing a single T10 screw,
but with much less manual steps, and is generally recommended, being
safer.
- Using stock firmware root shell exploit, SSH and TFTP [2]. Does not
work on some rare versions of stock firmware. A more involved, and
requires installing `mkenvimage` from u-boot-tools package if you
choose to rebuild your own environment, but can be used without
disassembly or removal from installation point, if you have the
credentials.
If for some reason, size of your sysupgrade image exceeds 13312kB,
proceed with method [1]. For official images this is not likely to
happen ever.
[1] Using serial console:
0. Connect serial console to H1 header. Ensure the serial converter
does not back-power the board, otherwise it will fail to boot.
1. Power-on the board. Then quickly connect serial converter to PC and
hit Ctrl+C in the terminal to break boot sequence. If you're lucky,
you'll enter U-boot shell. Then skip to point 3.
Connection parameters are 115200-8-N-1.
2. Allow the board to boot. Press the reset button, so the board
reboots into U-boot again and go back to point 1.
3. Set the "bootcmd" variable to disable the dual-boot feature of the
system and ensure that uImage is loaded. This is critical step, and
needs to be done only on initial installation.
> setenv bootcmd "bootm 0x9f040000"
> saveenv
4. Boot the OpenWrt initramfs using TFTP. Replace IP addresses as needed:
> setenv serverip 192.168.1.2
> setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
> tftpboot 0x81000000 openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_zf7372-initramfs-kernel.bin
> bootm 0x81000000
5. Optional, but highly recommended: back up contents of "firmware" partition:
$ ssh root@192.168.1.1 cat /dev/mtd1 > ruckus_zf7372_fw1_backup.bin
$ ssh root@192.168.1.1 cat /dev/mtd5 > ruckus_zf7372_fw2_backup.bin
6. Copy over sysupgrade image, and perform actual installation. OpenWrt
shall boot from flash afterwards:
$ ssh root@192.168.1.1
# sysupgrade -n openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_zf7372-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
[2] Using stock root shell:
0. Reset the device to factory defaullts. Power-on the device and after
it boots, hold the reset button near Ethernet connectors for 5
seconds.
1. Connect the device to the network. It will acquire address over DHCP,
so either find its address using list of DHCP leases by looking for
label MAC address, or try finding it by scanning for SSH port:
$ nmap 10.42.0.0/24 -p22
From now on, we assume your computer has address 10.42.0.1 and the device
has address 10.42.0.254.
2. Set up a TFTP server on your computer. We assume that TFTP server
root is at /srv/tftp.
3. Obtain root shell. Connect to the device over SSH. The SSHD ond the
frmware is pretty ancient and requires enabling HMAC-MD5.
$ ssh 10.42.0.254 \
-o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null \
-o StrictHostKeyCheking=no \
-o MACs=hmac-md5
Login. User is "super", password is "sp-admin".
Now execute a hidden command:
Ruckus
It is case-sensitive. Copy and paste the following string,
including quotes. There will be no output on the console for that.
";/bin/sh;"
Hit "enter". The AP will respond with:
grrrr
OK
Now execute another hidden command:
!v54!
At "What's your chow?" prompt just hit "enter".
Congratulations, you should now be dropped to Busybox shell with root
permissions.
4. Optional, but highly recommended: backup the flash contents before
installation. At your PC ensure the device can write the firmware
over TFTP:
$ sudo touch /srv/tftp/ruckus_zf7372_firmware{1,2}.bin
$ sudo chmod 666 /srv/tftp/ruckus_zf7372_firmware{1,2}.bin
Locate partitions for primary and secondary firmware image.
NEVER blindly copy over MTD nodes, because MTD indices change
depending on the currently active firmware, and all partitions are
writable!
# grep rcks_wlan /proc/mtd
Copy over both images using TFTP, this will be useful in case you'd
like to return to stock FW in future. Make sure to backup both, as
OpenWrt uses bot firmwre partitions for storage!
# tftp -l /dev/<rcks_wlan.main_mtd> -r ruckus_zf7372_firmware1.bin -p 10.42.0.1
# tftp -l /dev/<rcks_wlan.bkup_mtd> -r ruckus_zf7372_firmware2.bin -p 10.42.0.1
When the command finishes, copy over the dump to a safe place for
storage.
$ cp /srv/tftp/ruckus_zf7372_firmware{1,2}.bin ~/
5. Ensure the system is running from the BACKUP image, i.e. from
rcks_wlan.bkup partition or "image 2". Otherwise the installation
WILL fail, and you will need to access mtd0 device to write image
which risks overwriting the bootloader, and so is not covered here
and not supported.
Switching to backup firmware can be achieved by executing a few
consecutive reboots of the device, or by updating the stock firmware. The
system will boot from the image it was not running from previously.
Stock firmware available to update was conveniently dumped in point 4 :-)
6. Prepare U-boot environment image.
Install u-boot-tools package. Alternatively, if you build your own
images, OpenWrt provides mkenvimage in host staging directory as well.
It is recommended to extract environment from the device, and modify
it, rather then relying on defaults:
$ sudo touch /srv/tftp/u-boot-env.bin
$ sudo chmod 666 /srv/tftp/u-boot-env.bin
On the device, find the MTD partition on which environment resides.
Beware, it may change depending on currently active firmware image!
# grep u-boot-env /proc/mtd
Now, copy over the partition
# tftp -l /dev/mtd<N> -r u-boot-env.bin -p 10.42.0.1
Store the stock environment in a safe place:
$ cp /srv/tftp/u-boot-env.bin ~/
Extract the values from the dump:
$ strings u-boot-env.bin | tee u-boot-env.txt
Now clean up the debris at the end of output, you should end up with
each variable defined once. After that, set the bootcmd variable like
this:
bootcmd=bootm 0x9f040000
You should end up with something like this:
bootcmd=bootm 0x9f040000
bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200 rootfstype=squashfs init=/sbin/init
baudrate=115200
ethaddr=0x00:0xaa:0xbb:0xcc:0xdd:0xee
bootdelay=2
mtdids=nor0=ar7100-nor0
mtdparts=mtdparts=ar7100-nor0:256k(u-boot),13312k(rcks_wlan.main),2048k(datafs),256k(u-boot-env),512k(Board Data),13312k(rcks_wlan.bkup)
ethact=eth0
filesize=1000000
fileaddr=81000000
ipaddr=192.168.0.7
serverip=192.168.0.51
partition=nor0,0
mtddevnum=0
mtddevname=u-boot
stdin=serial
stdout=serial
stderr=serial
These are the defaults, you can use most likely just this as input to
mkenvimage.
Now, create environment image and copy it over to TFTP root:
$ mkenvimage -s 0x40000 -b -o u-boot-env.bin u-boot-env.txt
$ sudo cp u-boot-env.bin /srv/tftp
This is the same image, gzipped and base64-encoded:

7. Perform actual installation. Copy over OpenWrt sysupgrade image to
TFTP root:
$ sudo cp openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_zf7372-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin /srv/tftp
Now load both to the device over TFTP:
# tftp -l /tmp/u-boot-env.bin -r u-boot-env.bin -g 10.42.0.1
# tftp -l /tmp/openwrt.bin -r openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_zf7372-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin -g 10.42.0.1
Verify checksums of both images to ensure the transfer over TFTP
was completed:
# sha256sum /tmp/u-boot-env.bin /tmp/openwrt.bin
And compare it against source images:
$ sha256sum /srv/tftp/u-boot-env.bin /srv/tftp/openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_zf7372-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Locate MTD partition of the primary image:
# grep rcks_wlan.main /proc/mtd
Now, write the images in place. Write U-boot environment last, so
unit still can boot from backup image, should power failure occur during
this. Replace MTD placeholders with real MTD nodes:
# flashcp /tmp/openwrt.bin /dev/<rcks_wlan.main_mtd>
# flashcp /tmp/u-boot-env.bin /dev/<u-boot-env_mtd>
Finally, reboot the device. The device should directly boot into
OpenWrt. Look for the characteristic power LED blinking pattern.
# reboot -f
After unit boots, it should be available at the usual 192.168.1.1/24.
Return to factory firmware:
1. Boot into OpenWrt initramfs as for initial installation. To do that
without disassembly, you can write an initramfs image to the device
using 'sysupgrade -F' first.
2. Unset the "bootcmd" variable:
fw_setenv bootcmd ""
3. Write factory images downloaded from manufacturer website into
fwconcat0 and fwconcat1 MTD partitions, or restore backup you took
before installation:
mtd write ruckus_zf7372_fw1_backup.bin /dev/mtd1
mtd write ruckus_zf7372_fw2_backup.bin /dev/mtd5
4. Reboot the system, it should load into factory firmware again.
Quirks and known issues:
- This is first device in ath79 target to support link state reporting
on FE port attached trough the built-in switch.
- Flash layout is changed from the factory, to use both firmware image
partitions for storage using mtd-concat, and uImage format is used to
actually boot the system, which rules out the dual-boot capability.
The 5GHz radio has its own EEPROM on board, not connected to CPU.
- The stock firmware has dual-boot capability, which is not supported in
OpenWrt by choice.
It is controlled by data in the top 64kB of RAM which is unmapped,
to avoid the interference in the boot process and accidental
switch to the inactive image, although boot script presence in
form of "bootcmd" variable should prevent this entirely.
- U-boot disables JTAG when starting. To re-enable it, you need to
execute the following command before booting:
mw.l 1804006c 40
And also you need to disable the reset button in device tree if you
intend to debug Linux, because reset button on GPIO0 shares the TCK
pin.
- On some versions of stock firmware, it is possible to obtain root shell,
however not much is available in terms of debugging facitilies.
1. Login to the rkscli

- Stock firmware has beamforming functionality, known as BeamFlex,
using active multi-segment antennas on both bands - controlled by
RF analog switches, driven by a pair of 74LV164 shift registers.
Shift registers used for each radio are connected to GPIO14 (clock)
and GPIO15 of the respective chip.
They are mapped as generic GPIOs in OpenWrt - in stock firmware,
they were most likely handled directly by radio firmware,
given the real-time nature of their control.
Lack of this support in OpenWrt causes the antennas to behave as
ordinary omnidirectional antennas, and does not affect throughput in
normal conditions, but GPIOs are available to tinker with nonetheless.

Not supported at this time.
Install via serial console/tftp:
--------------------------------
The U-Boot firmware drops to a TP-Link specific "BOOTUTIL" shell at
38400 baud. There is no known way to exit out of this shell, and no
way to do anything useful.
Ideally, one would trick the bootloader into flashing the sysupgrade
image first. However, if the image exceeds 6MiB in size, it will not
work. To install OpenWRT:
Prepare a tftp server with:
1. server address: 192.168.0.146
2. the image as: "uImage.img"
Power on device, and stop boot by pressing any key.
Once the shell is active:
1. Ground out the CLK (pin 16) of the ROM (U6)
2. Select option "3. Start"
3. Bootloader notes that "The kernel has been damaged!"
4. Release CLK as soon as bootloader thinks image is corrupted.
5. Bootloader enters automatic recovery -- details printed on console
6. Watch as the bootloader flashes and boots OpenWRT.
Blind install via tftp:
-----------------------
This method works when it's not feasible to install a serial header.
Prepare a tftp server with:
1. server address: 192.168.0.146
2. the image as: "uImage.img"
3. Watch network traffic (tcpdump or wireshark works)
4. Power on the device.
5. Wait 1-2 seconds then ground out the CLK (pin 16) of the ROM (U6)
6. When 192.168.0.30 makes tftp requests, release pin 16
7. Wait 2-3 minutes for device to auto-flash and boot OpenWRT

Installation
1. Rename initramfs image to:
openwrt-ipq806x-qcom-ipq40xx-ap.dk01.1-c1-fit-uImage-initramfs.itb
and copy it to USB flash drive with FAT32 file system.
2. Connect USB flash drive to the router and apply power while pressing
reset button. Hold the button, on the lates bootloader version, when
Power and WiFi-5 LEDs will start blinking release it. For the older
bootloader holding it for 15 seconds should suffice.
3. Now the router boots the initramfs image, at some point (close to one
minute) the Power LED will start blinking, when stops, router is fully
booted.
4. Connect to one of LAN ports and use SSH to open the shell at
192.168.1.1.
5. ATTENTION! now backup the mtd8 and mtd9 partitions, it's necessary if,
at some point, You want to go back to original firmware. The firmware
provided by manufacturer on its site is encrypted and U-Boot accepts
only decrypted factory images, so there's no way to restore original
firmware.
6. If the backup is prepared, transfer the sysupgrade image to the router
and use 'sysupgrade' command to flash it.
7. After successful flashing router will reboot. At some point the Power
LED will start blinking, wait till it stops, then router is ready for
configuration.

Generate U-Boot for all 4 boot options. The SD card version allows
installation to SPI-NAND and SPI-NOR (eMMC cannot be accessed
simultanously with the SD card), the SPI-NAND version allows installation

The updated sources bring support for the MT798x Filogic SoC family.
Add builds for MT7986 with most supported storage types, each for DDR3
and DDR4 configurations.
A better solution for skipping bad blocks on SPI-NAND connected via the
SNFI interface has been implemented upstream, so drop local patch.
Add pending patches [1] and [2] to fix boot on existing MT7622 boards.
Tested on BananaPi BPi-R64 (SDMMC, eMMC, SPI-NAND), Linksys E8450 and
Ubiquiti UniFi 6 LR as well as upcoming Bananapi BPi-R3 board for which
support will be added in future patches.

Instead of relying on dtc being provided by the build host use the
dtc from $(LINUX_DIR) similar to how it's done also in u-boot.mk.
For this to work kernel.mk now needs to be included before
trusted-firmware-a.mk, add this include to all affected packages.

General hardware info:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-Link DGS-1210-10MP is a switch with 8 ethernet ports and 2 SFP ports, all
ports Gbit capable. It is based on a RTL8380 SoC @ 500MHz, DRAM 128MB and
32MB flash. All ethernet ports are 802.3af/at PoE capable
with a total PoE power budget of 130W.
File info:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The dgs-1210-10mp is very similar to dgs-1210-10p so I used that as a start.
rtl838x.mk:
- Removed lua-rs232 package since it was a leftover from the old rtl83xx-poe
package.
- Updated the soc to 8380.
- Specified device variant: F.
- Installed the new realtek-poe package.
rtl8380_d-link_dgs-1210-10mp.dts:
- Moved dgs-1210 family common parts and non PoE related ports on rtl8231
to the new device tree dtsi files.
Serial connection:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The UART for the SoC (115200 8N1) is available close to the front panel next
to the LED/key card connector via unpopulated standard 0.1" pin header
marked j4. Pin1 is marked with arrow and square.
Pin 1: Vcc 3,3V
Pin 2: Tx
Pin 3: Rx
Pin 4: Gnd
Installation with TFTP from u-boot
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I originally used the install procedure:
'OpenWrt installation using the TFTP method and serial console access' found
in the device wiki for the dgs-1210-16.
< https://openwrt.org/toh/d-link/dgs-1210-16_g1#openwrt_installation_using
_the_tftp_method_and_serial_console_access >
About the realtek-poe package
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The realtek-poe package is installed but there isn't any automatic PoE config
setting at this time so for now the PoE config must be edited manually.
Original OEM hardware/firmware data at first installation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It has been installed, developed, and tested on a device with these OEM
hardware and firmware versions.
- U-boot: 2011.12.(2.1.5.67086)-Candidate1 (Jun 22 2020 - 15:03:58)
- Boot version: 1.01.001
- Firmware version: 6.20.007
- Hardware version: F1
Things to be done when support are developed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- realtek-poe has been included in OpenWrt but the automatic config handling
has not been solved yet so in the future there will probably be some minor
updates for this device to handle the poe config.
- LED link_act and poe are per function supposed to be connected to the PoE
system.
But some software development is also needed to make this LED work and
shift the LED array between act and poe indication and to shift the mode
lights with mode key.
- LED poe_max should probably be used as straight forward error output from
the realtek-poe package error handling. But no code has been written for
this.
- SFP is currently not hot pluggable. Development is under progress to get
working I2C communication with SFP and have them hot pluggable.
When any device in the dgs-1210 family gets this working, I expect it
should be possible to implement the same solution in this device.

Add support for the TP-Link SG2008P switch. This is an RTL8380 based
switch with 802.3af one the first four ports.
Specifications:
---------------
* SoC: Realtek RTL8380M
* Flash: 32 MiB SPI flash (Vendor varies)
* RAM: 256 MiB (Vendor varies)
* Ethernet: 8x 10/100/1000 Mbps with PoE on 4 ports
* Buttons: 1x "Reset" button on front panel
* Power: 53.5V DC barrel jack
* UART: 1x serial header, unpopulated
* PoE: 1x TI TPS23861 I2C PoE controller
Works:
------
- (8) RJ-45 ethernet ports
- Switch functions
- System LED
Not yet enabled:
----------------
- Power-over-Ethernet (driver works, but doesn't enable "auto" mode)
- PoE, Link/Act, PoE max and System LEDs
Install via web interface:
-------------------------
Not supported at this time.
Install via serial console/tftp:
--------------------------------
The footprints R27 (0201) and R28 (0402) are not populated. To enable
serial console, 50 ohm resistors should be soldered -- any value from
0 ohm to 50 ohm will work. R27 can be replaced by a solder bridge.
The u-boot firmware drops to a TP-Link specific "BOOTUTIL" shell at
38400 baud. There is no known way to exit out of this shell, and no
way to do anything useful.
Ideally, one would trick the bootloader into flashing the sysupgrade
image first. However, if the image exceeds 6MiB in size, it will not
work. The sysupgrade image can also be flashed. To install OpenWRT:
Prepare a tftp server with:
1. server address: 192.168.0.146
2. the image as: "uImage.img"
Power on device, and stop boot by pressing any key.
Once the shell is active:
1. Ground out the CLK (pin 16) of the ROM (U7)
2. Select option "3. Start"
3. Bootloader notes that "The kernel has been damaged!"
4. Release CLK as sson as bootloader thinks image is corrupted.
5. Bootloader enters automatic recovery -- details printed on console
6. Watch as the bootloader flashes and boots OpenWRT.
Blind install via tftp:
-----------------------
This method works when it's not feasible to install a serial header.
Prepare a tftp server with:
1. server address: 192.168.0.146
2. the image as: "uImage.img"
3. Watch network traffic (tcpdump or wireshark works)
4. Power on the device.
5. Wait 1-2 seconds then ground out the CLK (pin 16) of the ROM (U7)
6. When 192.168.0.30 makes tftp requests, release pin 16
7. Wait 2-3 minutes for device to auto-flash and boot OpenWRT

Add patch to skip bad blocks when reading from SPI-NAND. This is needed
in case erase block(s) early in the flash inside the FIP area are bad
and hence need to be skipped in order to be able to boot on such damaged
chips.

Unique to AP15:
- Green and yellow LED
- 2T2R 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n via SoC WMAC
- No buttons
- No piezo beeper
- No 5.8GHz
Flashing instructions:
- Derived from UART method described in referenced commit, methods
described there should work too.
- Set up a TFTP server; IP address has to be 192.168.99.8/24
- Copy the firmware (initramfs-kernel) to your TFTP server directory
renaming it to e.g. boot.bin
- Open AP's enclosure and locate UART header (there is a video online)
- Terminal connection parameters are 115200 8/N/1
- Connect TFTP server and AP via ethernet
- Power up AP and cancel autoboot when prompted
- Prompt shows 'ath> '
- Commands used to boot:
ath> tftpboot 0x81000000 boot.bin
ath> bootm 0x81000000
- Device should boot OpenWRT
- IP address after boot is 192.168.1.1/24
- Connect to device via browser
- Permanently flash using the web ui (flashing sysupgrade image)
- (BTW: the AP55 images seem to work too, only LEDs are not working)
Testing done:
- To be honest: Currently not so much testing done.
- Flashed onto two devices
- Devices are booting
- MAC addresses are correct
- LEDs are working
- Scanning for WLANs is working
Big thanks to all the people working on this great project!
