- except for AP3916 and AP3912 where there is no external serial
console and it is TDB how to solder one. Possibly J12 is UART with
pin1 = 3.3V, pin2 = GND, pin3 = TXD, pin4 = RXD.
- Settings: 115200 8N1
Installation With Serial Console
--------------------------------
1. Attach to the Console port. Power up the device and press the s key
to interrupt autoboot.
2. The default username / password to the bootloader is admin / new2day
3. Check uboot variables using printenv, and update if necessary:
$ setenv AP_MODE 0
$ setenv WATCHDOG_COUNT 0
$ setenv WATCHDOG_LIMIT 0
$ setenv AP_PERSONALITY identifi
$ setenv serverip <SERVER_IPADDR>
$ setenv ipaddr <UNIQUE_IPADDR>
$ setenv MOSTRECENTKERNEL 0; ## OpenWRT only uses the primary image
$ saveenv
$ saveenv ## 2nd time to write the secondary copy
4. On the TFTP server located at <SERVER_IPADDR>, download the OpenWrt
initramfs image. Rename and serve it as vmlinux.gz.uImage.3912
5. TFTP boot the OpenWrt initramfs image from the AP serial console:
$ run boot_net
6. Wait for OpenWrt to start. Internet port sw-eth5 is assiged to LAN
bridge and sw-eth4 (if available) is assigned to WAN. The LAN port
will use default IP address 192.168.1.1 and run a DHCP server.
If you already have a working DHCP server or already have 192.168.1.1
on your network you MUST DISCONNECT the LAN cable from your active
network immediately after the power/status LED turns green!
At this point, you need to temporarily reconfigure the AP to have
a way to transfer the OpenWRT sysupgrade image to it.
Reconfigure the newly converted OpenWRT AP using serial console or
plug in a PC to a sw-eth5 as a separate network. Note -- the LAN/WAN
port assignments were designed to make it possible to convert to
OpenWRT without serial console and using a common firmware
image for many AP models -- they may not make the most sense when
fully deployed.
7. Download and transfer the sysupgrade image to the device using e.g.
SCP.
8. Install OpenWrt to the device using "sysupgrade"
$ sysupgrade -n /path/to/openwrt.bin
9. After it boots up again, as in step 6, connect to AP and reconfigure
for final deployment.
This build supports APs in the AP391x series and similar such as WiNG
AP7662.
Ethernet devices within OpenWRT are named "sw-eth1" thru "sw-eth5".
Mapping from OpenWRT internal naming to external naming on the case is
as follows:
```
|sw-eth1|sw-eth2|sw-eth3|sw-eth4|sw-eth5
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP3917 | | | | GE2 | GE1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP7662 | | | | GE2 | GE1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP3916 | | | | CAM* | GE1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP3915 | | | | | GE1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP3912 | | P1 | P2 | P3 | LAN1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
```
By default sw-eth4 is mapped to WAN. All others are assigned to the
LAN.
CAM* - On AP3916, sw-eth4 is the camera's interface. You should
reconfigure this to be on LAN after OpenWRT boots from flash.
Installation Without Serial Console
-----------------------------------
The main premise is to set u-boot environment variables using the
Extreme Networks firmware's rdwr_boot_cfg program.
$ rdwr_boot_cfg
Utility to manipulate the boot ROM config blocks
All errors are written to the sytem log file (/tmp/log/ap.log)
```
Usage: rdwr_boot_cfg <read_all|read_var|read_var_f|write_var|rm_var> ...
read_all read the entire active block
read_var <var> read a single variable from the active block
read_var_f <var> read a single variable from the active block
(formatted)
write_var <var=val> write a single variable/value pair to both
blocks
rm_var <var> delete a single variable from both blocks
```
WARNING: Be very sure you have set the u-boot environment correctly.
If not, it can only be fixed by attaching serial console!
Be aware that the Extreme Networks shell environment will automatically
reboot every 5 minutes if there is no controller present.
Read and understand these steps fully before attempting. It is easy
to make mistakes!
1. Place the OpenWRT initramfs on the TFTP server and name it as
vmlinux.gz.uImage.3912
2. Boot up to Extreme Networks WING-Campus mode OS. Port GE1/LAN1
will be a DHCP **client**. Find out the IP address from your DHCP
server and SSH in. Default user/passwd is admin/new2day or
admin/admin123.
If it is booting to WING-Distributed mode, use this command to
convert to Campus mode.
$ operational-mode centralized
3. Upon bootup you have about 5mins to changed these u-boot variables
if necessary using the rdwr_boot_cfg command in Linux shell:
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var AP_MODE=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var MOSTRECENTKERNEL=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var WATCHDOG_COUNT=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var WATCHDOG_LIMIT=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var AP_PERSONALITY=identifi
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var serverip=<SERVER_IPADDR>
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var ipaddr=<UNIQUE_IPADDR>
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var bootcmd="run boot_net"
4. Reboot AP.
5. Connect PC with ethernet to GE1/LAN1 port. You should get a
DHCP address in the 192.168.1.x range and should be able to
SSH to the new OpenWRT TFTP recovery/installation shell.
6. At this point, u-boot is still set to TFTP boot, so you have to
replace the TFTP image with the original Extreme Networks image so
that you can change the u-boot environment.
See the instructions for Extracting Extreme Networks firmware
image.
DON'T REBOOT YET!
7. Next you must follow steps 6 thru 8 from the Installation with serial
console. After which you should have OpenWRT installed to primary
flash firmware.
8. Now Reboot. This time it will boot using TFTP into Extreme Networks
image. You may need to reconnect cables at this point -- GE1/LAN1
will be a DHCP **client** and you can SSH in -- just like step 2.
Get the IP address from you own DHCP server.
9. Set u-boot env as follows:
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var MOSTRECENTKERNEL=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var WATCHDOG_COUNT=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var bootcmd="run boot_flash"
10. Reboot AP. This time it should be into OpenWRT. GE1/LAN1 will be
a DHCP **server** and have static IP 192.168.1.1 -- just like step 5.
11. SSH into the LAN port and reconfigure to final configuration. Don't
make any changes that prevent you from SSH or Luci access!
Restoring Extreme Networks firmware
-----------------------------------
Assuming you have the original Extreme Networks image:
1. Login to OpenWRT shell
2. scp the Extreme Networks packaged firmware image file AP391x-*.img to
/tmp
3. Extract the firmware uimage file:
$ tar xjf AP391x-*.img vmlinux.gz.uImage
4. Force run sysupgrade:
$ sysupgrade -F /tmp/AP391x-*.img /
5. Restore the u-boot varable(s):
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var WATCHDOG_LIMIT=3
USB 2.0 Port on AP3915e

Currently, the same information is stored at the Packages.manifest in
the 'Package:' variable and also additionally in the 'SourceName:' variable.
So we have for Packages.manifest for strongswan-charon-cmd:
```
Package: strongswan-charon-cmd
Version: 5.9.11-1
SourceName: strongswan-charon-cmd
License: GPL-2.0-or-later
Section: net
```
This is not correct. Several installable packages are built from the same
strongswan source. Therefore it makes more sense that the source name is
really the source name. In this case the it is 'strongswan'.
After this change the Packages.manifest for strongswan-charon-cmd:
```
Package: strongswan-charon-cmd
Version: 5.9.11-1
SourceName: strongswan
License: GPL-2.0-or-later
Section: net
```
In summary. The 'Package' name is the name of the package to be installed
on the target system. The 'SourceName' is the compile unit from which the
package was build from. This must be the same for all installable
packages built from the same compile unit. This commit fixes that.

Apparently, a few ipq40xx devices have sporadic problems when reading the
flash over SPI. When that happens, the result of the faulty SPI read is
cached and it isn't re-attempted. Depending on when it happens, the router
either panics and reboots or is left in a partially broken state (an
application wont start).
The data on the flash is alright.
This wasn't the case with Openwrt with Linux < 5.x but I wasn't able to
work out which software change was responsible.
Github user karlpip created a patch for testing that disabled the cache
entirely and added logs. Typically, only one or two SPI operations fail at
a time:
[689200.631152] spi-nor spi0.0: SPI transfer failed: -110
[689200.631280] spi_master spi0: failed to transfer one message from queue
[689200.635369] jffs2: Write of 68 bytes at 0x00ffccf4 failed. returned -110, retlen 0
[689200.642014] jffs2: Not marking the space at 0x00ffccf4 as dirty because the flash driver returned retlen zero
Because reads aren't re-attempted, squashfs can't recover:
[3171844.279235] SQUASHFS error: Failed to read block 0x2bb912: -5
[3171844.279284] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read fragment cache entry [2bb912]
[3171844.283980] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block 2bb912, size 14e6c
[3171844.291650] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read fragment cache entry [2bb912]
[3171844.297831] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block 2bb912, size 14e6c
I assume there to be some kind of underlying electrical problem because,
in my experience, this happens a lot more when PoE is used.
NoTengoBattery has made an in-depth investigation:
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/patch-squashfs-data-probably-corrupt/70480
.. and created a patch that evicts the page cache and retries reading:
https://github.com/NoTengoBattery/openwrt/blob/linksys-ea6350v3-mastertrack/target/linux/ipq40xx/patches-5.4/9996-fs_squashfs_improve_squashfs_error_resistance.patch
The patch also works well with the WPJ428 but NoTengoBattery didn't try to
upstream it ("This is not the solution that should be used").
In 2020, I tried and failed to create a working patch that prevents faulty pages to
be cached in the first place. Because I needed a solution, I backported
"squashfs: add option to panic on errors " (10dde05b89980ef)
which has since become available in Openwrt.
The 'error=panic' option has been tested on a fleet of multiple hundred
WPJ428s over multiple years. Without this patch, devices regularly went
into 'limbo' on reboot or update and required a manual reboot.
Devices with this patch don't. I was initially concerned that the kernel
panic would leave devices with a real corrupted data but I haven't seen a
case of actual corruption since (outside of people turning off the power
during upgrades).
The WPJ428 is the only device I tested this patch on - others might also
benefit.
