In the "ipq40xx: switch to Kernel 5.10" discussion at GitHub,
Adrian noted [0] that these GL.iNet Conexa series devices,
GL-B1300 and GL-S1300 failed their image generation [1] as their gzipped
uImage kernel went above 4096k.
While notifying the vendor about this problem [2], I tested all U-Boot
releases from GL.iNet:
- they really fail to boot kernel above 4096k
- they don't support lzma: "Unimplemented compression type 3"
- but they boot zImage
Using zImage (xz compression) the kernel is 2909k which is
more than a megabyte away from the KERNEL_SIZE := 4096k limit.
The gzip compressed version would be 4116k.

When support for Luma WRTQ-329ACN was added, the instructions for
flashing this device include using tools from uboot-envtools package.
Unfortunately the OpenWrt buildroot system omits packages from
DEVICE_PACKAGES when CONFIG_TARGET_MULTI_PROFILE,
CONFIG_TARGET_PER_DEVICE_ROOTFS, CONFIG_TARGET_ALL_PROFILES are set. In
result the official images are without tools mentioned in the
instruction. The workoround for the fashing would be installing
uboot-envtools when booted with initramfs image, but not always the
access to internet is available. The other method would be to issue the
necesary command in U-Boot environment but some serial terminals default
configuration don't work well with pasting lines longer than 80 chars.
Therefore add uboot-envtools to default packages, which adds really
small flash footprint to rootfs, where increased size usually is not an
issue.

WARNING: The serial port needs a TTL/RS-232 3.3 volt level converter!
The Serial settings are 115200-8-N-1.
Installation via Stock Web Interface:
BTW: The default factory console/web interface login user/password are
admin/password.
In the web interface navigating to Management - Maintenance - Upgrade -
'Firmware Upgrade' will show you what is currently installed e.g.:
Manage Firmware
Current Firmware Version: V5.0.10.2
Backup Firmware Version: V1.2.5.11
Under 'Upgrade Options' choose Local (alternatively SFTP would be
available) then click/select 'Browse File' on the right side, choose
openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_wac510-squashfs-nand-factory.tar
and hit the Upgrade button below. After a minute or two your browser
should indicate completion printing 'Firmware update complete.' and
'Rebooting AP...'.
Note that OpenWrt will use the WAN PoE port as actual WAN port
defaulting to DHCP client but NOT allowing LuCI access, use LAN port
defaulting to 192.168.1.1/24 to access LuCI.
Installation via TFTP Requiring Serial U-Boot Access:
Connect to the device's serial port and hit any key to stop autoboot.
Upload and boot the initramfs based OpenWrt image as follows:
(IPQ40xx) # setenv serverip 192.168.1.1
(IPQ40xx) # setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.2
(IPQ40xx) # tftpboot openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_wac510-initramfs-fit-uImage.itb
(IPQ40xx) # bootm
Note: This only runs OpenWrt from RAM and has not installed anything
to flash as of yet. One may permanently install OpenWrt as follows:
Check the MTD device number of the active partition:
root@OpenWrt:/# dmesg | grep 'set to be root filesystem'
[ 1.010084] mtd: device 9 (rootfs) set to be root filesystem
Upload the factory image ending with .ubi to /tmp (e.g. using scp or
tftp). Then flash the image as follows (substituting the 9 in mtd9
below with whatever number reported above):
root@OpenWrt:/# ubiformat /dev/mtd9 -f /tmp/openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_wac510-squashfs-nand-factory.ubi
And reboot.
Dual Image Configuration:
The default U-Boot boot command bootipq uses the U-Boot environment
variables primary/secondary to decide which image to boot. E.g.
primary=0, secondary=3800000 uses rootfs while primary=3800000,
secondary=0 uses rootfs_1.
Switching their values changes the active partition. E.g. from within
U-Boot:
(IPQ40xx) # setenv primary 0
(IPQ40xx) # setenv secondary 3800000
(IPQ40xx) # saveenv
Or from a OpenWrt userspace serial/SSH console:
fw_setenv primary 0
fw_setenv secondary 3800000
Note that if you install two copies of OpenWrt then each will have its
independent configuration not like when switching partitions on the
stock firmware.
BTW: The kernel log shows which boot partition is active:
[ 2.439050] ubi0: attached mtd9 (name "rootfs", size 56 MiB)
vs.
[ 2.978785] ubi0: attached mtd10 (name "rootfs_1", size 56 MiB)
Note: After 3 failed boot attempts it automatically switches partition.

The bootloader of many ipq40xx boards seems to require the config node
of the FIT image to be 'config@1' (or a secific different value).
This requirement used to be implicitely satisfied because OpenWrt used
to also call the configuration node inside a FIT image 'config@1'.
However, as recent U-Boot now prohibits the use of the '@' symbol as
part of node names, this was changed by
commit 5ec60cbe9d ("scripts: mkits.sh: replace @ with - in nodes")
Explicitely restore the default name of the configuration node to
'config@1' on ipq40xx.

The majority of our targets provide a default value for the variable
SUPPORTED_DEVICES, which is used in images to check against the
compatible on a running device:
SUPPORTED_DEVICES := $(subst _,$(comma),$(1))
At the moment, this is implemented in the Device/Default block of
the individual targets or even subtargets. However, since we
standardized device names and compatible in the recent past, almost
all targets are following the same scheme now:
device/image name: vendor_model
compatible: vendor,model
The equal redundant definitions are a symptom of this process.
Consequently, this patch moves the definition to image.mk making it
a global default. For the few targets not using the scheme above,
SUPPORTED_DEVICES will be defined to a different value in
Device/Default anyway, overwriting the default. In other words:
This change is supposed to be cosmetic.
This can be used as a global measure to get the current compatible
with: $(firstword $(SUPPORTED_DEVICES))
(Though this is not precisely an achievement of this commit.)

To modify a retail device to run OpenWRT firmware:
1) Setup a TFTP server on IP address 192.168.0.100 and copy the OpenWRT
initramfs (initramfs-fit-uImage.itb) to the TFTP root as 'uploadfile'.
2) Power on the device while pressing the recessed reset button next to
the Ethernet ports. This causes the bootloader to retrieve and start
the initramfs.
3) Once the initramfs is booted, the device will come up with IP
192.168.1.1. You can then connect through SSH (allow some time for
the first connection).
4) On the device shell, run 'fw_printenv' to show the U-boot environment.
Backup this information since it contains device unique factory data.
5) Change the boot command to support booting OpenWRT:
# fw_setenv bootcmd 'sf probe && sf read 0x84000000 0x180000 0x400000 && bootm'
6) Change directory to /tmp, download the sysupgrade (e.g. through wget)
and install it with sysupgrade. The device will reboot into OpenWRT.
Notice that there is currently no support for booting the G.hn chip.
This requires userland software we lack the rights to share right now.

Ethernet: 2x 10/100/1000 Mbps QCA8075
USB: 1x 2.0
Bluetooth: 1x 4.0 CSR8510 A10, connected to USB bus
LEDS: 16x multicolor LEDs ring, controlled by MSP430G2403 MCU
Buttons: 1x GPIO controlled
EEPROM: 16 Kbit, compatible with AT24C16
UART: row of 4 holes marked on PCB as J19, starting count from the side
of J19 marking on PCB
1. GND, 2. RX, 3. TX, 4. 3.3V
baud: 115200, parity: none, flow control: none
The device supports OTA or USB flash drive updates, unfotunately they
are signed. Until the signing key is known, the UART access is mandatory
for installation. The difficult part is disassembling the casing, there
are a lot of latches holding it together.
Teardown
Prepare three thin, but sturdy, prying tools. Place the device with back
of it facing upwards. Start with the wall having a small notch. Insert
first tool, until You'll feel resistance and keep it there. Repeat the
procedure for neighbouring walls. With applying a pressure, one edge of
the back cover should pop up. Now carefully slide one of the tools to
free the rest of the latches.
There's no need to solder pins to the UART holes, You can use hook clips,
but wiring them outside the casing, will ease debuging and recovery if
problems occur.
Installation
1. Prepare TFTP server with OpenWrt initramfs image.
2. Connect to UART port (don't connect the voltage pin).
3. Connect to LAN port.
4. Power on the device, carefully observe the console output and when
asked quickly enter the failsafe mode.
5. Invoke 'mount_root'.
6. After the overlayfs is mounted run:
fw_setenv bootdelay 3
This will allow to access U-Boot shell.
7. Reboot the device and when prompted to stop autoboot, hit any key.
8. Adjust "ipaddr" and "serverip" addresses in U-Boot environment, use
'setenv' to do that, then run following commands:
tftpboot 0x84000000 <openwrt_initramfs_image_name>
bootm 0x84000000
and wait till OpenWrt boots.
9. In OpenWrt command line run following commands:
fw_setenv openwrt "setenv mtdids nand1=spi_nand; setenv mtdparts mtdparts=spi_nand:-(ubi); ubi part ubi; ubi read 0x84000000 kernel; bootm 0x84000000"
fw_setenv bootcmd "run openwrt"
10. Transfer OpenWrt sysupgrade image to /tmp directory and flash it
with:
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs
sysupgrade -v -n /tmp/<openwrt_sysupgrade_image_name>
11. After flashing, the access point will reboot to OpenWrt, then it's
ready for configuration.
Reverting to OEM firmware
1. Execute installation guide steps: 1, 2, 3, 7, 8.
2. In OpenWrt command line run following commands:
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs_data
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
ubirename /dev/ubi0 kernel1 kernel ubi_rootfs1 ubi_rootfs
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -S 34 -N kernel1
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -S 320 -N ubi_rootfs1
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -S 264 -N rootfs_data
fw_setenv bootcmd bootipq
3. Reboot.
Known issues
The LEDs ring doesn't have any dedicated driver or application to control
it, the only available option atm is to manipulate it with 'i2cset'
command. The default action after applying power to device is spinning
blue light. This light will stay active at all time. To disable it
install 'i2c-tools' with opkg and run:
i2cset -y 2 0x48 3 1 0 0 i
The light will stay off until next cold boot.
Additional information
After completing 5. step from installation guide, one can disable asking
for root password on OEM firmware by running:
sed -e 's/root❌/root::/' -i /etc/passwd
This is useful for investigating the OEM firmware. One can look
at the communication between the stock firmware and the vendor's
cloud servers or as a way of making a backup of both flash chips.
The root password seems to be constant across all sold devices.
This is output of 'led_ctl' from OEM firmware to illustrate
possibilities of LEDs ring:
Usage: led_ctl [status | upgrade | force_upgrade | version]
led_ctl solid COLOR <brightness>
led_ctl single COLOR INDEX <brightness 0 - 15>
led_ctl spinning COLOR <period 1 - 16 (lower = faster)>

- NB: need to flash transition image firstly
Firstly install transition image:
(IPQ40xx) # tftpboot 0x84000000 s1300-factory-to-openwrt.img
(IPQ40xx) # sf probe && imgaddr=0x84000000 && source :script
Secondly install openwrt sysupgrade bin:
(IPQ40xx) # run lf
Revert to factory image:
(IPQ40xx) # tftpboot 0x84000000 s1300-openwrt-to-factory.img
(IPQ40xx) # sf probe && imgaddr=0x84000000 && source :script
The kernel and rootfs of factory firmware are on eMMC, and openwrt
firmware is on NOR flash. The transition image includes U-boot
and partition table, which decides where to load kernel and rootfs.
After you firstly install openwrt image, you can switch between
factory and openwrt firmware by flashing transition image.

The Device/Default definition sets a default IMAGE/sysupgrade.bin,
but does not enable it by setting IMAGES. This is not consistent,
and has led to IMAGES being defined at various other places in the
file.
Thus, this patch consolidates the default value for IMAGES by putting
it in Device/Default. Since it's still overwritten where necessary,
this patch is cosmetic.

The NETGEAR EX61500v2 and EX6150v2 U-Boot does not support booting LZMA

Using a zImage results in a smaller kernel and therefore increases

4. U-Boot commands:
sf probe && sf read 0x80000000 0x180000 0x10000
setenv serverip 192.168.1.4
set fdt_high 0x85000000
tftpboot 0x84000000 image
bootm 0x84000000
5. Install sysupgrade image via "sysupgrade -n"
Back to stock:
All is needed is swap 0x4c byte in mtd8 from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0,
do firstboot and factory reset with OFW:
1. read mtd8:
dd if=/dev/mtd8 of=/tmp/mtd8
2. go to tmp:
cd /tmp/
3. write first part of partition:
dd if=mtd8 of=mtd8.new bs=1 count=76
4. check which layout uses bootloader:
cat /proc/mtd
5a. If first are kernel_1 and rootfs_1 write 0:
echo -n -e '\x00' >> mtd8.new
5b. If first are kernel and rootfs write 1:
echo -n -e '\x01' >> mtd8.new
6. fill with rest of data:
dd if=mtd8 bs=1 skip=77 >> mtd8.new
7. CHECK IF mtd8.new HAVE CHANGED ONLY ONE BYTE! e.g with:
hexdump mtd8.new
8. write new mtd8 to flash:
mtd write mtd8.new /dev/mtd8
9. do firstboot
10.reboot
11. Do back to factory defaults in OFW GUI.

Generate a cpximg that is compatible with the cpximg loader in Compex' u-boot.
The cpximg loader can be started either by holding the reset button during power
up or by entering the u-boot prompt and entering 'cpximg'.
Once it's running, a TFTP-server under 192.168.1.1 will accept an image
appropriate for the board revision that is etched on the board (e.g. 6A04).
The image can be pushed using tftp:
tftp -v -m binary 192.168.1.1 -c put openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-compex_wpj428-squashfs-cpximg-6a04.bin
cpximg files can also be used with the sysupgrade utility in stock images.

To be flashable from the D-Link http server, the firmware must be larger
then 6MB, and the size in the firmware header must match the actual file
size. Also, the boot loader verifies the checksum of the firmware before
each boot, thus the jffs2 must be after the checksum covered part. This
is solved in the factory image by having the rootfs at the very end of
the image (without pad-rootfs).
The sysupgrade image which does not have to be flashable from the D-Link
web UI may be smaller, and the checksum in the firmware header only
covers the kernel part of the image.

The Aruba AP-303H is the hospitality version of the Aruba AP-303 with a
POE-passthrough enabled ethernet switch instead of a sigle PHY.
Hardware
--------
SoC: Qualcomm IPQ4029
RAM: 512M DDR3
FLASH: - 128MB SPI-NAND (Macronix)
- 4MB SPI-NOR (Macronix MX25R3235F)
TPM: Atmel AT97SC3203
BLE: Texas Instruments CC2540T
attached to ttyMSM1
ETH: Qualcomm QCA8075
LED: WiFi (amber / green)
System (red / green /amber)
PSE (green)
BTN: Reset
USB: USB 2.0
To connect to the serial console, you can solder to the labled pads next
to the USB port or use your Aruba supplied UARt adapter.
Do NOT plug a standard USB cable into the Console labled USB-port!
Aruba/HPE simply put UART on the micro-USB pins. You can solder yourself
an adapter cable:
VCC - NC
D+ - TX
D- - RX
GND - GND
The console setting in bootloader and OS is 9600 8N1. Voltage level is
3.3V.
To enable a full list of commands in the U-Boot "help" command, execute
the literal "diag" command.
Installation
------------
1. Get the OpenWrt initramfs image. Rename it to ipq40xx.ari and put it
into the TFTP server root directory. Configure the TFTP server to
be reachable at 192.168.1.75/24. Connect the machine running the TFTP
server to the E0 (!) ethernet port of the access point, as it only
tries to pull from the WAN port.
2. Connect to the serial console. Interrupt autobooting by pressing
Enter when prompted.
3. Configure the bootargs and bootcmd for OpenWrt.
$ setenv bootargs_openwrt "setenv bootargs console=ttyMSM0,9600n8"
$ setenv nandboot_openwrt "run bootargs_openwrt; ubi part aos1;
ubi read 0x85000000 kernel; set fdt_high 0x87000000;
bootm 0x85000000"
$ setenv ramboot_openwrt "run bootargs_openwrt;
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.105; setenv serverip 192.168.1.75;
netget; set fdt_high 0x87000000; bootm"
$ setenv bootcmd "run nandboot_openwrt"
$ saveenv
4. Load OpenWrt into RAM:
$ run ramboot_openwrt
5. After OpenWrt booted, transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the
/tmp folder on the device. You will need to plug into E1-E3 ports of
the access point to reach OpenWrt, as E0 is the WAN port of the
device.
6. Flash OpenWrt:
$ ubidetach -p /dev/mtd16
$ ubiformat /dev/mtd16
$ sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-sysupgrade.bin
To go back to the stock firmware, simply reset the bootcmd in the
bootloader to the original value:
$ setenv bootcmd "boot"
$ saveenv

RAM: 128 MB Nanya NT5CC64M16GP-DI
FLASH: 16 MB Macronix MX25L12805D
ETH: Qualcomm QCA8075 (4 Gigabit ports, 3xLAN, 1xWAN)
WLAN: Qualcomm IPQ4018 (2.4 & 5 Ghz)
BUTTON: Shared WPS/Reset button

3.3v, 115200, 8N1
Tested/Working:
* Ethernet
* WiFi (2.4 and 5GHz)
* Status LED
* Reset Button (See note below)
Implementation notes:
* The shared WPS/Reset button is implemented as a Reset button
* I could not find a original firmware image to reverse engineer, meaning
currently it's not possible to flash OpenWrt through the Web GUI.
Installation (Through Serial console & TFTP):
1. Set your PC to fixed IP 192.168.1.12, Netmask 255.255.255.0, and connect to
one of the LAN ports
2. Rename the initramfs image to 'C0A8010B.img' and enable a TFTP server on
your pc, to serve the image
2. Connect to the router through serial (See connection properties above)
3. Hit a key during startup, to pause startup
4. type `setenv serverip 192.168.1.12`, to set the tftp server address
5. type `tftpboot`, to load the image from the laptop through tftp
6. type `bootm` to run the loaded image from memory
6. (If you want to return to stock firmware later, create an full MTD backup,
e.g. using instructions here https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/generic.backup#create_full_mtd_backup)
7. Transfer the 'sysupgrade' OpenWrt firmware image from PC to router, e.g.:
`scp xxx-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/upgrade.bin`
8. Run sysupgrade to permanently install OpenWrt to flash: `sysupgrade -n /tmp/upgrade.bin`
Revert to stock:
To revert to stock, you need the MTD backup from step 6 above:
1. Unpack the MTD backup archive
2. Transfer the 'firmware' partition image to the router (e.g. mtd8_firmware.backup)
3. On the router, do `mtd write mtd8_firmware.backup firmware`
