20581ee8b5 ath79: add support for TP-Link Deco S4
Add support for TP-Link Deco S4 wifi router

The label refers to the device as S4R and the TP-Link firmware
site calls it the Deco S4 v2. (There does not appear to be a v1)

Hardware (and FCC id) are identical to the Deco M4R v2 but the
flash layout is ordered differently and the OEM firmware encrypts
some config parameters (including the label mac address) in flash

In order to set the encrypted mac address, the wlan's caldata
node is removed from the DTS so the mac can be decrypted with
the help of the uencrypt tool and patched into the wlan fw
via hotplug

Specifications:
SoC: QCA9563-AL3A
RAM: Zentel A3R1GE40JBF
Wireless 2.4GHz: QCA9563-AL3A (main SoC)
Wireless 5GHz: QCA9886
Ethernet Switch: QCA8337N-AL3C
Flash: 16 MB SPI NOR

UART serial access (115200N1) on board via solder pads:
RX = TP1 pad
TX = TP2 pad
GND = C201 (pad nearest board edge)

The device's bootloader and web gui will only accept images that
were signed using TP-Link's RSA key, however a memory safety bug
in the bootloader can be leveraged to install openwrt without
accessing the serial console. See developer forum S4 support page
for link to a "firmware" file that starts a tftp client, or you
may generate one on your own like this:
```

5df1b33298 ath79: add support for Senao Watchguard AP100
FCC ID: U2M-CAP2100AG

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

146aaeafb7 ath79: add support for Senao WatchGuard AP300
FCC ID: Q6G-AP300

WatchGuard AP300 is an indoor wireless access point with
1 Gb ethernet port, dual-band wireless,
internal antenna plates, and 802.3at PoE+

this board is a Senao device:
the hardware is equivalent to EnGenius EAP1750
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:**

  - QCA9558 SOC		MIPS 74kc, 2.4 GHz WMAC, 3x3
  - QCA9880 WLAN	PCI card 168c:003c, 5 GHz, 3x3, 26dBm
  - AR8035-A PHY	RGMII GbE with PoE+ IN
  - 40 MHz clock
  - 32 MB FLASH		S25FL512S
  - 2x 64 MB RAM	NT5TU32M16
  - UART console	J10, populated
  - GPIO watchdog	GPIO 16, 20 sec toggle
  - 6 antennas		5 dBi, internal omni-directional plates
  - 5 LEDs		power, eth0 link/data, 2G, 5G
  - 1 button		reset

**MAC addresses:**

  MAC address labeled as ETH
  Only one Vendor MAC address in flash at art 0x0

  eth0 ETH  *:3c art 0x0
  phy1 ---- *:3d ---
  phy0 ---- *:3e ---

**Serial console access:**

  For this board, its not certain whether UART is possible
  it is likely that software is blocking console access

  the RX line on the board for UART is shorted to ground by resistor R176
  the resistors R175 and R176 are next to the UART RX pin at J10

  however console output is garbage even after this fix

**Installation:**

  Method 1: OEM webpage

    use OEM webpage for firmware upgrade to upload factory.bin

  Method 2: root shell access

    downgrade XTM firewall to v2.0.0.1
    downgrade AP300 firmware: v1.0.1
    remove / unpair AP from controller
    perform factory reset with reset button
    connect ethernet to a computer
    login to OEM webpage with default address / pass: wgwap
    enable SSHD in OEM webpage settings
    access root shell with SSH as user 'root'
    modify uboot environment to automatically try TFTP at boot time
    (see command below)

    rename initramfs-kernel.bin to test.bin
    load test.bin over TFTP (see TFTP recovery)
    (optionally backup all mtdblocks to have flash backup)
    perform a sysupgrade with sysupgrade.bin

  NOTE: DHCP is not enabled by default after flashing

**TFTP recovery:**

  server ip: 192.168.1.101

  reset button seems to do nothing at boot time...
  only possible with modified uboot environment,
  running this command in the root shell:

  fw_setenv bootcmd 'if ping 192.168.1.101; then tftp 0x82000000 test.bin && bootm 0x82000000; else bootm 0x9f0a0000; fi'

  and verify that it is correct with

  fw_printenv

  then, before boot, the device will attempt TFTP from 192.168.1.101
  looking for file 'test.bin'

  to return uboot environment to normal:

  fw_setenv bootcmd 'bootm 0x9f0a0000'

**Return to OEM:**

  user should make backup of MTD partitions
  and write the backups back to mtd devices
  in order to revert to OEM
  (see installation method 2)

  It may be possible to use sysupgrade
  with an OEM image as well...
  (not tested)

  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 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.

f1d112ee5a ath79: support Ruckus ZoneFlex 7321
Ruckus ZoneFlex 7321 is a dual-band, single radio 802.11n 2x2 MIMO enterprise
access point. It is very similar to its bigger brother, ZoneFlex 7372.

Hardware highligts:
- CPU: Atheros AR9342 SoC at 533 MHz
- RAM: 64MB DDR2
- Flash: 32MB SPI-NOR
- Wi-Fi: AR9342 built-in dual-band 2x2 MIMO radio
- Ethernet: single Gigabit Ethernet port through AR8035 gigabit PHY
- PoE: input through Gigabit port
- Standalone 12V/1A power input
- USB: optional single USB 2.0 host port on the 7321-U variant.

Serial console: 115200-8-N-1 on internal H1 header.
Pinout:

H1 ----------
   |1|x3|4|5|
   ----------

Pin 1 is near the "H1" marking.
1 - RX
x - no pin
3 - VCC (3.3V)
4 - GND
5 - TX

JTAG: Connector H5, unpopulated, similar to MIPS eJTAG, standard,
but without the key in pin 12 and not every pin routed:

------- H5

3 - TDI
5 - TDO
7 - TMS
9 - TCK
2,4,6,8,10 - GND
14 - Vref
1,11,12,13 - Not connected

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:
  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
  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.
  5. Busybox shell shall open.

59cb4dc91d ath79: support Ruckus ZoneFlex 7372
Ruckus ZoneFlex 7372 is a dual-band, dual-radio 802.11n 2x2 MIMO enterprise
access point.

Ruckus ZoneFlex 7352 is also supported, lacking the 5GHz radio part.

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
- Ethernet 2: single Fast Ethernet port through AR9344 built-in switch
- PoE: input through Gigabit port
- Standalone 12V/1A power input
- USB: optional single USB 2.0 host port on "-U" variants.

The same image should support:
- ZoneFlex 7372E (variant with external antennas, without beamforming
  capability)
- ZoneFlex 7352 (single-band, 2.4GHz-only variant).

which are based on same baseboard (codename St. Bernard),
with different populated components.

Serial console: 115200-8-N-1 on internal H1 header.
Pinout:

H1
---
|5|
---

Pin 5 is near the "H1" marking.
1 - RX
x - no pin
3 - VCC (3.3V)
4 - GND
5 - TX

JTAG: Connector H2, similar to MIPS eJTAG, standard,
but without the key in pin 12 and not every pin routed:

------- H2
|1 |2 |
-------
|3 |4 |

3 - TDI
5 - TDO
7 - TMS
9 - TCK
2,4,6,8,10 - GND
14 - Vref
1,11,12,13 - Not connected

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

  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.

  Source: https://alephsecurity.com/vulns/aleph-2019014
- 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.

0dc5821489 ath79: add support for Sophos AP15
The Sophos AP15 seems to be very close to Sophos AP55/AP100.

Based on:
commit 6f1efb2898 ("ath79: add support for Sophos AP100/AP55 family")
author    Andrew Powers-Holmes <andrew@omnom.net>
          Fri, 3 Sep 2021 15:53:57 +0200 (23:53 +1000)
committer Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de>
          Sat, 16 Apr 2022 16:59:29 +0200 (16:59 +0200)

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!

Important notes:

the PLC firmware has to be provided and copied manually onto the
device! The PLC here has no dedicated flash, thus the firmware file
has to be uploaded to the PLC controller at every system start
the PLC functionality is managed by the script /etc/init.d/plc_basic,
a very basic script based on the the one from Netadair (netadair dot de)
Installation:

Asus windows recovery tool:

have to have the latest Asus firmware flashed before continuing!

Additional notes:

the pairing buttons have to have pressed for at least half a second,
it doesn't matter on which plc device (master or slave) first
it is possible to pair the devices without the button-pairing requirement
simply by pressing reset on the slave device. This will default to the
firmware settings, which is also how the plc_basic script is setting up
the master device, i.e. configuring it to firmware defaults
the PL-E56P slave PLC has its dedicated 4MByte SPI, thus it is capable
to store all firmware currently available. Note that some other
slave devices are not guarantied to have the capacity for the newer
~1MByte firmware blobs!
To have a good overlook about the slave device, here are its specs:
same QCA7500 PLC controller, same w631gg6kb-15 128MB RAM,
25L3233F 4MB SPI-NOR and an AR8035-A 1000M-Transceiver

b52719b71a ath79: ja76pf2: use nvmem cells to specify MAC addresses
The bootloader on this board hid the partition containig MAC addresses
and prevented adding this space to FIS directory, therefore those had to
be stored in RedBoot configuration as aliases to be able to assigne them
to proper interfaces. Now that fixed partition size are used instead of
redboot-fis parser, the partition containig MAC addresses could be
specified, and with marking it as nvmem cell, we can assign them without
userspace involvement.

5c142aad7b ath79: switch some RedBoot based devices to OKLI loader
After the kernel has switched version to 5.10, JA76PF2 and
RouterStations lost the capability to sysupgrade the OpenWrt version.
The cause is the lack of porting the patches responsible for partial
flash erase block writing and these boards FIS directory and RedBoot
config partitions share the same erase block. Because of that the FIS
directory can't be updated to accommodate kernel/rootfs partition size
changes. This could be remedied by bootloader update, but it is very
intrusive and could potentially lead to non-trivial recovery procedure,
if something went wrong. The less difficult option is to use OpenWrt
kernel loader, which will let us use static partition sizes and employ
mtd splitter to dynamically adjust kernel and rootfs partition sizes.
On sysupgrade from ath79 19.07 or 21.02 image, which still let to modify
FIS directory, the loader will be written to kernel partition, while the
kernel+rootfs to rootfs partition.

The caveats are:
* image format changes, no possible upgrade from ar71xx target images
* downgrade to any older OpenWrt version will require TFTP recovery or
  usage of bootloader command line interface

To downgrade to 19.07 or 21.02, or to upgrade if one is already on
OpenWrt with kernel 5.10, for RouterStations use TFTP recovery
procedure. For JA76PF2 use instructions from this commit message:
commit 0cc87b3bac ("ath79: image: disable sysupgrade images for routerstations and ja76pf2"),
replacing kernel image with loader (loader.bin suffix) and rootfs
image with firmware (firmware.bin suffix).

ath79 has was bumped to 5.10. With this, as with every kernel change,
the kernel has become larger. However, although the kernel gets bigger,
there are still enough flash resources. But the RAM reaches its capacity
limits. The tiny image comes with fewer kernel flags enabled and
fewer daemons.

063e9047cc ath79: add support for TP-Link Deco M4R v1 and v2
This commit adds support for the TP-Link Deco M4R (it can also be M4,
TP-Link uses both names) v1 and v2. It is similar hardware-wise to the
Archer C6 v2. Software-wise it is very different. V2 has a bit different
layout from V1 but the chips are the same and the OEM firmware is the same
for both versions.

Specifications:
SoC: QCA9563-AL3A
RAM: Zentel A3R1GE40JBF
Wireless 2.4GHz: QCA9563-AL3A (main SoC)
Wireless 5GHz: QCA9886
Ethernet Switch: QCA8337N-AL3C
Flash: 16 MB SPI NOR

Flashing:

The device's bootloader only accepts images that are signed using
TP-Link's RSA key, therefore this way of flashing is not possible. The
device has a web GUI that should be accessible after setting up the device
using the app (it requires the app to set it up first because the web GUI
asks for the TP-Link account password) but for unknown reasons, the web
GUI also refuses custom images.

There is a debug firmware image that has been shared on the device's
OpenWrt forum thread that has telnet unlocked, which the bootloader will
accept because it is signed. It can be used to transfer an OpenWrt image
file over to the device and then be used with mtd to flash the device.

Pre-requisites:

- Debug firmware.
- A way of transferring the file to the router, you can use an FTP server
  as an example.
- Set a static IP of 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0 on your computer.
- OpenWrt image.

Installation:

- Unplug your router and turn it upside down. Using a long and thin object
  like a SIM unlock tool, press and hold the reset button on the router and
  replug it. Keep holding it until the LED flashes yellow.
- Open 192.168.0.1. You should see the bootloader recovery's webpage.
  Choose the debug firmware that you downloaded and flash it. Wait until the
  router reboots (at this stage you can remove the static IP).

- Open a terminal window and connect to the router via telnet (the primary
  router should have a 192.168.0.1 IP address, secondary routers are
  different).
- Transfer the file over to the router, you can use curl to download it
  from the internet (use the insecure flag and make sure your source accepts
  insecure downloads) or from an FTP server.
- The router's default mtd partition scheme has kernel and rootfs
  separated. We can use dd to split the OpenWrt image file and flash it with
  mtd:

   dd if=openwrt.bin of=kernel.bin skip=0 count=8192 bs=256
   dd if=openwrt.bin of=rootfs.bin skip=8192 bs=256

- Once the images are ready, you have to flash the device using mtd
  (make sure to flash the correct partitions or you may be left with a
  hard bricked router):

   mtd write kernel.bin kernel
   mtd write rootfs.bin rootfs

- Flashing is done, reboot the device now.

6f1efb2898 ath79: add support for Sophos AP100/AP55 family
The Sophos AP100, AP100C, AP55, and AP55C are dual-band 802.11ac access
points based on the Qualcomm QCA9558 SoC. They share PCB designs with
several devices that already have partial or full support, most notably the
Devolo DVL1750i/e.

The AP100 and AP100C are hardware-identical to the AP55 and AP55C, however
the 55 models' ART does not contain calibration data for their third chain
despite it being present on the PCB.

Specifications common to all models:
 - Qualcomm QCA9558 SoC @ 720 MHz (MIPS 74Kc Big-endian processor)
 - 128 MB RAM
 - 16 MB SPI flash
 - 1x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port, 802.3af PoE-in
 - Green and Red status LEDs sharing a single external light-pipe
 - Reset button on PCB[1]
 - Piezo beeper on PCB[2]
 - Serial UART header on PCB
 - Alternate power supply via 5.5x2.1mm DC jack @ 12 VDC

Unique to AP100 and AP100C:
 - 3T3R 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n via SoC WMAC
 - 3T3R 5.8GHz 802.11a/n/ac via QCA9880 (PCI Express)

AP55 and AP55C:
 - 2T2R 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n via SoC WMAC
 - 2T2R 5.8GHz 802.11a/n/ac via QCA9880 (PCI Express)

AP100 and AP55:
 - External RJ45 serial console port[3]
 - USB 2.0 Type A port, power controlled via GPIO 11

Flashing instructions:

This firmware can be flashed either via a compatible Sophos SG or XG
firewall appliance, which does not require disassembling the device, or via
the U-Boot console available on the internal UART header.

To flash via XG appliance:
 - Register on Sophos' website for a no-cost Home Use XG firewall license
 - Download and install the XG software on a compatible PC or virtual
   machine, complete initial appliance setup, and enable SSH console access
 - Connect the target AP device to the XG appliance's LAN interface
 - Approve the AP from the XG Web UI and wait until it shows as Active
   (this can take 3-5 minutes)
 - Connect to the XG appliance over SSH and access the Advanced Console
   (Menu option 5, then menu option 3)
 - Run `sudo awetool` and select the menu option to connect to an AP via
   SSH. When prompted to enable SSH on the target AP, select Yes.
 - Wait 2-3 minutes, then select the AP from the awetool menu again. This
   will connect you to a root shell on the target AP.
 - Copy the firmware to /tmp/openwrt.bin on the target AP via SCP/TFTP/etc
 - Run `mtd -r write /tmp/openwrt.bin astaro_image`
 - When complete, the access point will reboot to OpenWRT.

To flash via U-Boot serial console:
 - Configure a TFTP server on your PC, and set IP address 192.168.99.8 with
   netmask 255.255.255.0
 - Copy the firmware .bin to the TFTP server and rename to 'uImage_AP100C'
 - Open the target AP's enclosure and locate the 4-pin 3.3V UART header [4]
 - Connect the AP ethernet to your PC's ethernet port
 - Connect a terminal to the UART at 115200 8/N/1 as usual
 - Power on the AP and press a key to cancel autoboot when prompted
 - Run the following commands at the U-Boot console:
    - `tftpboot`
    - `cp.b $fileaddr 0x9f070000 $filesize`
    - `boot`
 - The access point will boot to OpenWRT.

MAC addresses as verified by OEM firmware:

use   address     source
LAN   label       config 0x201a (label)
2g    label + 1   art 0x1002    (also found at config 0x2004)
5g    label + 9   art 0x5006

Increments confirmed across three AP55C, two AP55, and one AP100C.

These changes have been tested to function on both current master and
21.02.0 without any obvious issues.

[1] Button is present but does not alter state of any GPIO on SoC
[2] Buzzer and driver circuitry is present on PCB but is not connected to
    any GPIO. Shorting an unpopulated resistor next to the driver circuitry
    should connect the buzzer to GPIO 4, but this is unconfirmed.
[3] This external RJ45 serial port is disabled in the OEM firmware, but
    works in OpenWRT without additional configuration, at least on my
    three test units.
[4] On AP100/AP55 models the UART header is accessible after removing
    the device's top cover. On AP100C/AP55C models, the PCB must be removed
    for access; three screws secure it to the case.
    Pin 1 is marked on the silkscreen. Pins from 1-4 are 3.3V, GND, TX, RX

5c147d36ba ath79: port HiWiFi HC6361 from ar71xx
The device was added for ar71xx target and dropped during the ath79
transition, mainly because of the ascii mac address stored in bdinfo
partition

Device page, http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/hiwifi/hc6361

The vendor u-boot image accepts sysupgrade.bin image with specific
requirements, including having squashfs signature "hsqs" at file offset
0x140000.  This is not possible now that OpenWrt kernel image is at
least 2MB with the signature at offset 0x240000.

Installation of current build of OpenWrt now requires a bootstrap step
of installing an earlier version first.

 - If the vendor u-boot accepts sysupgrade image, hc6361 image of LEDE
   release should work
 - If the vendor u-boot accepts only verified flashsmt image, install
   the one in the above device page.  The image is based on Barrier
   Breaker

   SHA256SUM of the flashsmt image

	81b193b95ea5f8e5c30cd62fa9facf275f39233be4fdeed7038f3deed2736156

there fine.

c91df224f5 ath79: add support for Yuncore XD3200
Specification:

- QCA9563 (775MHz), 128MB RAM, 16MB SPI NOR
- 2T2R 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz
- 2T2R 802.11n/ac 5GHz
- 2x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, with 802.3at PoE support (WAN port)

LED for 5 GHz WLAN is currently not supported as it is connected directly
to the QCA9882 radio chip.

Flash instructions:

If your device comes with generic QSDK based firmware, you can login
over telnet (login: root, empty password, default IP: 192.168.188.253),
issue first (important!) 'fw_setenv' command and then perform regular
upgrade, using 'sysupgrade -n -F ...' (you can use 'wget' to download
image to the device, SSH server is not available):

  fw_setenv bootcmd "bootm 0x9f050000 || bootm 0x9fe80000"
  sysupgrade -n -F openwrt-...-yuncore_...-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

In case your device runs firmware with YunCore custom GUI, you can use
U-Boot recovery mode:

1. Set a static IP 192.168.0.141/24 on PC and start TFTP server with
   'tftp' image renamed to 'upgrade.bin'
2. Power the device with reset button pressed and release it after 5-7
   seconds, recovery mode should start downloading image from server
   (unfortunately, there is no visible indication that recovery got
   enabled - in case of problems check TFTP server logs)

44e1e5d153 ath79: Move TPLink WPA8630Pv2 to ath79-tiny target
These devices only have 6MiB available for firmware, which is not
enough for recent release images, so move these to the tiny target.

Note for users sysupgrading from the previous ath79-generic snapshot
images:

The tiny target kernel has a 4Kb flash erase block size instead
of the generic target's 64kb. This means the JFFS2 overlay partition
containing settings must be reformatted with the new block size or else
there will be data corruption.

To do this, backup your settings before upgrading, then during the
sysupgrade, de-select "Keep Settings". On the CLI, use "sysupgrade -n".

If you forget to do this and your system becomes unstable after
upgrading, you can do this to format the partition and recover:

* Reboot
* Press RESET when Power LED blinks during boot to enter Failsafe mode
* SSH to 192.168.1.1
* Run "firstboot" and reboot

41be1a2de2 ath79: add support for Araknis AN-700-AP-I-AC
FCC ID: 2AG6R-AN700APIAC

Araknis AN-700-AP-I-AC is an indoor wireless access point with
1 Gb ethernet port, dual-band wireless,
internal antenna plates, and 802.3at PoE+

this board is a Senao device:
the hardware is equivalent to EnGenius EAP1750
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:**

  - QCA9558 SOC		MIPS 74kc, 2.4 GHz WMAC, 3x3
  - 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	NT5TU32M16
  - UART console	J10, populated, RX shorted to ground
  - 4 antennas		5 dBi, internal omni-directional plates
  - 4 LEDs		power, 2G, 5G, wps
  - 1 button		reset

  NOTE: all 4 gpio controlled LEDS are viewed through the same lightguide
	therefore, the power LED is off for default state

**MAC addresses:**

  MAC address labeled as ETH
  Only one Vendor MAC address in flash at art 0x0

  eth0 ETH  *:xb art 0x0
  phy1 2.4G *:xc ---
  phy0 5GHz *:xd ---

**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:**

  Method 1: Firmware upgrade page:

    (if you cannot access the APs webpage)
    factory reset with the reset button
    connect ethernet to a computer
    OEM webpage at 192.168.20.253
    username and password 'araknis'
    make a new password, login again...

    Navigate to 'File Management' page from left pane
    Click Browse and select the factory.bin image
    Upload and verify checksum
    Click Continue to confirm
    wait about 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
    192.168.20.253
    Select the factory.bin image and upload
    wait about 3 minutes

**Return to OEM:**

  Method 1: Serial to load Failsafe webpage (above)

  Method 2: delete a checksum from uboot-env
  this will make uboot load the failsafe image at next boot
  because it will fail the checksum verification of the image

    ssh into openwrt and run
    `fw_setenv rootfs_checksum 0`
    reboot, wait a minute
    connect to ethernet and navigate to
    192.168.20.253
    select OEM firmware image and click upgrade

  Method 3: backup mtd partitions before upgrade

**TFTP recovery:**

  Requires serial console, reset button does nothing

  rename initramfs-kernel.bin to '0101A8C0.img'
  make available on TFTP server at 192.168.1.101
  power board, interrupt boot with serial console
  execute `tftpboot` and `bootm 0x81000000`

  NOTE: TFTP may not be reliable due to bugged bootloader
	set MTU to 600 and try many times

**Format of OEM firmware image:**

  The OEM software is built using SDKs from Senao
  which is based on a heavily modified version
  of Openwrt Kamikaze or Altitude Adjustment.
  One of the many modifications is sysupgrade being performed by a custom script.
  Images are verified through successful unpackaging, correct filenames
  and size requirements for both kernel and rootfs files, and that they
  start with the correct magic numbers (first 2 bytes) for the respective headers.

  Newer Senao software requires more checks but their script
  includes a way to skip them.

  The OEM upgrade script is at
  /etc/fwupgrade.sh

  OKLI kernel loader is required because the OEM software
  expects the kernel to be less than 1536k
  and the OEM 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` setting through the DTS.
  Therefore, the Ethernet Configuration registers for GMAC0
  do not need the bits for RGMII delay on the MAC side.
  This is possible due to fixes in at803x driver
  since Linux 5.1 and 5.3

  - 4 LEDs		power, 2G, 5G, wps
  - 1 button		reset

  NOTE: all 4 gpio controlled LEDS are viewed through the same lightguide
	therefore, the power LED is off for default state

**MAC addresses:**

  MAC address labeled as ETH
  Only one Vendor MAC address in flash at art 0x0

  eth0 ETH  *:e1 art 0x0
  phy1 2.4G *:e2 ---
  phy0 5GHz *:e3 ---

**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:**

  Method 1: Firmware upgrade page:

    (if you cannot access the APs webpage)
    factory reset with the reset button
    connect ethernet to a computer
    OEM webpage at 192.168.20.253
    username and password 'araknis'
    make a new password, login again...

    Navigate to 'File Management' page from left pane
    Click Browse and select the factory.bin image
    Upload and verify checksum
    Click Continue to confirm
    wait about 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
    192.168.20.253
    Select the factory.bin image and upload
    wait about 3 minutes

**Return to OEM:**

  Method 1: Serial to load Failsafe webpage (above)

  Method 2: delete a checksum from uboot-env
  this will make uboot load the failsafe image at next boot
  because it will fail the checksum verification of the image

    ssh into openwrt and run
    `fw_setenv rootfs_checksum 0`
    reboot, wait a minute
    connect to ethernet and navigate to
    192.168.20.253
    select OEM firmware image and click upgrade

  Method 3: backup mtd partitions before upgrade

**TFTP recovery:**

  Requires serial console, reset button does nothing

  rename initramfs-kernel.bin to '0101A8C0.img'
  make available on TFTP server at 192.168.1.101
  power board, interrupt boot with serial console
  execute `tftpboot` and `bootm 0x81000000`

  NOTE: TFTP may not be reliable due to bugged bootloader
	set MTU to 600 and try many times

**Format of OEM firmware image:**

  The OEM software is built using SDKs from Senao
  which is based on a heavily modified version
  of Openwrt Kamikaze or Altitude Adjustment.
  One of the many modifications is sysupgrade being performed by a custom script.
  Images are verified through successful unpackaging, correct filenames
  and size requirements for both kernel and rootfs files, and that they
  start with the correct magic numbers (first 2 bytes) for the respective headers.

  Newer Senao software requires more checks but their script
  includes a way to skip them.

  The OEM upgrade script is at
  /etc/fwupgrade.sh

  OKLI kernel loader is required because the OEM software
  expects the kernel to be less than 1536k
  and the OEM 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` setting through the DTS.
  Therefore, the Ethernet Configuration registers for GMAC0
  do not need the bits for RGMII delay on the MAC side.
  This is possible due to fixes in at803x driver
  since Linux 5.1 and 5.3

9c335accfe ath79: add support for TP-Link Archer A9 v6
TP-Link Archer A9 v6 (FCCID: TE7A9V6) is an AC1900 Wave-2 gigabit home
router based on a combination of Qualcomm QCN5502 (most likely a 4x4:4
version of the QCA9563 WiSOC), QCA9984 and QCA8337N.

The vendor's firmware content reveals that the same device might be
available on the US market under name 'Archer C90 v6'. Due to lack of
access to such hardware, support introduced in this commit was tested
only on the EU version (sold under 'Archer A9 v6' name).

Based on the information on the PL version of the vendor website, this
device has been already phased out and is no longer available.

Specifications:

- Qualcomm QCN5502 (775 MHz)
- 128 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 16 MB of flash (SPI NOR)
- 5x Gbps Ethernet (Qualcomm QCA8337N over SGMII)
- Wi-Fi:
  - 802.11b/g/n on 2.4 GHz: Qualcomm QCN5502* in 4x4:4 mode
  - 802.11a/n/ac on 5 GHz: Qualcomm QCA9984 in 3x3:3 mode
  - 3x non-detachable, dual-band external antennas (~3.5 dBi for 5 GHz,
    ~2.2 dBi for 2.4 GHz, IPEX/U.FL connectors)
  - 1x internal PCB antenna for 2.4 GHz (~1.8 dBi)
- 1x USB 2.0 Type-A
- 11x LED (4x connected to QCA8337N, 7x connected to QCN5502)
- 2x button (reset, WPS)
- UART (4-pin, 2.54 mm pitch) header on PCB (not populated)
- 1x mechanical power switch
- 1x DC jack (12 V)

  *) unsupported due to missing support for QCN550x in ath9k

UART system serial console notice:

The RX signal of the main SOC's UART on this device is shared with the
WPS button's GPIO. The first-stage U-Boot by default disables the RX,
resulting in a non-functional UART input.
If you press and keep 'ENTER' on the serial console during early
boot-up, the first-stage U-Boot will enable RX input.

Vendor firmware allows password-less access to the system over serial.

Flash instruction (vendor GUI):

1. It is recommended to first upgrade vendor firmware to the latest
   version (1.1.1 Build 20210315 rel.40637 at the time of writing).
2. Use the 'factory' image directly in the vendor's GUI.

Flash instruction (TFTP based recovery in second-stage U-Boot):

1. Rename 'factory' image to 'ArcherA9v6_tp_recovery.bin'
2. Setup a TFTP server on your PC with IP 192.168.0.66/24.
3. Press and hold the reset button for ~5 sec while turning on power.
4. The device will download image, flash it and reboot.

Flash instruction (web based recovery in first-stage U-Boot):

1. Use 'CTRL+C' during power-up to enable CLI in first-stage U-Boot.
2. Connect a PC with IP set to 192.168.0.1 to one of the LAN ports.
3. Issue 'httpd' command and visit http://192.168.0.1 in browser.
4. Use the 'factory' image.

If you would like to restore vendor's firmware, follow one of the
recovery methods described above.
