The GatoNetworks GDSP is a re-branded version of the R5000 5G Industrial
router from Yinghua Technologies.
Advantages over stock bootloader:
1. supports serving the external GPIO WDT, allowing for easier work in U-Boot
shell
2. supports cool features like netconsole, easy recovery, scripting and so on
3. allows using FIT image and image integrity validation
and ultimately gives you much more flexibility to implement your tweaks.
Known issues
------------
To make it easier to operate the device, console I/O multiplexing support has
been enabled in U-Boot configuration. Setting I/O related U-Boot environment
variables to something like "serial,nc" will have the desired effect. Still,
setting these variables to such a value in the persistent environment will
lead to a crash and make it impossible to boot the system or recover it. I
decided to leave it on anyway since I think it can be very practical in
development.

Using the arrow keys to navigate the U-Boot menu often leads to being
dropped into the U-Boot shell unexpectedly.
This can be prevented in most cases by improving the logic to detect the
arrow key ESC sequence and only reprinting the menu if actually needed.
Also enable CONFIG_SERIAL_RX_BUFFER for all boards as it helps preventing
the remaining cases.

Add u-boot support based on the kernel dts introduced in d1016446 and
the GL-MT6000 u-boot support in fe10f974.
The pcie-mediatek-gen3 kernel driver doesn't like hotplug, so to work in
PCIe mode, the 5G modem on this device needs to be switched on by u-boot
before starting the kernel. Include an init_modem step in the boot_system
action to set the relevant gpios. (The factory bootloader does the same,
using Mediatek SDK-specific gpio_power_clr and gpio_pull_up.)
Ideally the modem would be started using gpio-hog in the device tree, but
this will need to wait until mediatek gpio-hog support is fixed upstream:
https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/6ef2583e85eea60560d7776377d662779e7c44e5.1722419839.git.chris@arachsys.com/
The bootloader can be replaced using the built-in web interface of the
factory bootloader. Hold the reset button for five seconds while powering
on the device and it will boot into a recovery http server.
http://192.168.1.1/uboot.html and http://192.168.1.1/bl2.html can then
be used to upload openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-x3000-bl31-uboot.fip
and openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-x3000-preloader.bin respectively.
Alternatively, from a root shell on the running system, unlock the boot
partition with
echo 0 >/sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro
then write openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-x3000-bl31-uboot.fip to
/dev/mmcblk0p4 and openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-x3000-preloader.bin
to /dev/mmcblk0boot0.

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:
