ramips: add support for Linksys EA6350 v4
Specifications: - SoC: MT7621DAT (880MHz, 2 Cores) - RAM: 128 MB - Flash: 128 MB NAND - Ethernet: 5x 1GiE MT7530 - WiFi: MT7603/MT7613 - USB: 1x USB 3.0 This is another MT7621 device, very similar to other Linksys EA7300 series devices. Installation: Upload the generated factory.bin image via the stock web firmware updater. Reverting to factory firmware: Like other EA7300 devices, this device has an A/B router configuration to prevent bricking. Hard-resetting this device three (3) times will put the device in failsafe (default) mode. At this point, flash the OEM image to itself and reboot. This puts the router back into the 'B' image and allows for a firmware upgrade. Troubleshooting: If the firmware will not boot, first restore the factory as described above. This will then allow the factory.bin update to be applied properly. Signed-off-by: Nick McKinney <nick@ndmckinney.net> |

Installation: Upload the generated factory image through the factory web interface. (following part taken from EA7300 v2 commit message:) This might fail due to the A/B nature of this device. When flashing, OEM firmware writes over the non-booted partition. If booted from 'A', flashing over 'B' won't work. To get around this, you should flash the OEM image over itself. This will then boot the router from 'B' and allow you to flash OpenWRT without problems. Reverting to factory firmware: Hard-reset the router three times to force it to boot from 'B.' This is where the stock firmware resides. To remove any traces of OpenWRT from your router simply flash the OEM image at this point. With thanks to Tom Wizetek (@wizetek) for testing.

ramips: add support for Linksys E5600
This submission relied heavily on the work of Linksys EA7300 v1/ v2. Specifications: * SoC: MediaTek MT7621A (880 MHz 2c/4t) * RAM: 128M DDR3-1600 * Flash: 128M NAND * Eth: MediaTek MT7621A (10/100/1000 Mbps x5) * Radio: MT7603E/MT7613BE (2.4 GHz & 5 GHz) * Antennae: 2 internal fixed in the casing and 2 on the PCB * LEDs: Blue (x4 Ethernet) Blue+Orange (x2 Power + WPS and Internet) * Buttons: Reset (x1) WPS (x1) Installation: Flash factory image through GUI. This device has 2 partitions for the firmware called firmware and alt_firmware. To successfully flash and boot the device, the device should have been running from alt_firmware partition. To get the device booted through alt_firmware partition, download the OEM firmware from Linksys website and upgrade the firmware from web GUI. Once this is done, flash the OpenWrt Factory firmware from web GUI. Reverting to factory firmware: 1. Boot to 'alt_firmware'(where stock firmware resides) by doing one of the following: Press the "wps" button as soon as power LED turns on when booting. (OR) Hard-reset the router consecutively three times to force it to boot from 'alt_firmware'. 2. To remove any traces of OpenWRT from your router simply flash the OEM image at this point.

ramips: mt7621: Add support for ZyXEL NR7101
The ZyXEL NR7101 is an 802.3at PoE powered 5G outdoor (IP68) CPE with integrated directional 5G/LTE antennas. Specifications: - SoC: MediaTek MT7621AT - RAM: 256 MB - Flash: 128 MB MB NAND (MX30LF1G18AC) - WiFi: MediaTek MT7603E - Switch: 1 LAN port (Gigabiti) - 5G/LTE: Quectel RG502Q-EA connected by USB3 to SoC - SIM: 2 micro-SIM slots under transparent cover - Buttons: Reset, WLAN under same cover - LEDs: Multicolour green/red/yellow under same cover (visible) - Power: 802.3at PoE via LAN port The device is built as an outdoor ethernet to 5G/LTE bridge or router. The Wifi interface is intended for installation and/or temporary management purposes only. UART Serial: 57600N1 Located on populated 5 pin header J5: [o] GND [ ] key - no pin [o] RX [o] TX [o] 3.3V Vcc Remove the SIM/button/LED cover, the WLAN button and 12 screws holding the back plate and antenna cover together. The GPS antenna is fixed to the cover, so be careful with the cable. Remove 4 screws fixing the antenna board to the main board, again being careful with the cables. A bluetooth TTL adapter is recommended for permanent console access, to keep the router water and dustproof. The 3.3V pin is able to power such an adapter. MAC addresses: OpenWrt OEM Address Found as lan eth2 08:26:97:*:*:BC Factory 0xe000 (hex), label wlan0 ra0 08:26:97:*:*:BD Factory 0x4 (hex) wwan0 usb0 random WARNING!! ISP managed firmware might at any time update itself to a version where all known workarounds have been disabled. Never boot an ISP managed firmware with a SIM in any of the slots if you intend to use the router with OpenWrt. The bootloader lock can only be disabled with root access to running firmware. The flash chip is physically inaccessible without soldering. Installation from OEM web GUI: - Log in as "supervisor" on https://172.17.1.1/ - Upload OpenWrt initramfs-recovery.bin image on the Maintenance -> Firmware page - Wait for OpenWrt to boot and ssh to root@192.168.1.1 - (optional) Copy OpenWrt to the recovery partition. See below - Sysupgrade to the OpenWrt sysupgrade image and reboot Installation from OEM ssh: - Log in as "root" on 172.17.1.1 port 22022 - scp OpenWrt initramfs-recovery.bin image to 172.17.1.1:/tmp - Prepare bootloader config by running: nvram setro uboot DebugFlag 0x1 nvram setro uboot CheckBypass 0 nvram commit - Run "mtd_write -w write initramfs-recovery.bin Kernel" and reboot - Wait for OpenWrt to boot and ssh to root@192.168.1.1 - (optional) Copy OpenWrt to the recovery partition. See below - Sysupgrade to the OpenWrt sysupgrade image and reboot Copying OpenWrt to the recovery partition: - Verify that you are running a working OpenWrt recovery image from flash - ssh to root@192.168.1.1 and run: fw_setenv CheckBypass 0 mtd -r erase Kernel2 - Wait while the bootloader mirrors Image1 to Image2 NOTE: This should only be done after successfully booting the OpenWrt recovery image from the primary partition during installation. Do not do this after having sysupgraded OpenWrt! Reinstalling the recovery image on normal upgrades is not required or recommended. Installation from Z-Loader: - Halt boot by pressing Escape on console - Set up a tftp server to serve the OpenWrt initramfs-recovery.bin image at 10.10.10.3 - Type "ATNR 1,initramfs-recovery.bin" at the "ZLB>" prompt - Wait for OpenWrt to boot and ssh to root@192.168.1.1 - Sysupgrade to the OpenWrt sysupgrade image NOTE: ATNR will write the recovery image to both primary and recovery partitions in one go. Booting from RAM: - Halt boot by pressing Escape on console - Type "ATGU" at the "ZLB>" prompt to enter the U-Boot menu - Press "4" to select "4: Entr boot command line interface." - Set up a tftp server to serve the OpenWrt initramfs-recovery.bin image at 10.10.10.3 - Load it using "tftpboot 0x88000000 initramfs-recovery.bin" - Boot with "bootm 0x8800017C" to skip the 380 (0x17C) bytes ZyXEL header This method can also be used to RAM boot OEM firmware. The warning regarding OEM applies! Never boot an unknown OEM firmware, or any OEM firmware with a SIM in any slot. NOTE: U-Boot configuration is incomplete (on some devices?). You may have to configure a working mac address before running tftp using "setenv eth0addr <mac>" Unlocking the bootloader: If you are unebale to halt boot, then the bootloader is locked. The OEM firmware locks the bootloader on every boot by setting DebugFlag to 0. Setting it to 1 is therefore only temporary when OEM firmware is installed. - Run "nvram setro uboot DebugFlag 0x1; nvram commit" in OEM firmware - Run "fw_setenv DebugFlag 0x1" in OpenWrt NOTE: OpenWrt does this automatically on first boot if necessary NOTE2: Setting the flag to 0x1 avoids the reset to 0 in known OEM versions, but this might change. WARNING: Writing anything to flash while the bootloader is locked is considered extremely risky. Errors might cause a permanent brick! Enabling management access from LAN: Temporary workaround to allow installing OpenWrt if OEM firmware has disabled LAN management: - Connect to console - Log in as "root" - Run "iptables -I INPUT -i br0 -j ACCEPT" Notes on the OEM/bootloader dual partition scheme The dual partition scheme on this device uses Image2 as a recovery image only. The device will always boot from Image1, but the bootloader might copy Image2 to Image1 under specific conditions. This scheme prevents repurposing of the space occupied by Image2 in any useful way. Validation of primary and recovery images is controlled by the variables CheckBypass, Image1Stable, and Image1Try. The bootloader sets CheckBypass to 0 and reboots if Image1 fails validation. If CheckBypass is 0 and Image1 is invalid then Image2 is copied to Image1. If CheckBypass is 0 and Image2 is invalid, then Image1 is copied to Image2. If CheckBypass is 1 then all tests are skipped and Image1 is booted unconditionally. CheckBypass is set to 1 after each successful validation of Image1. Image1Try is incremented if Image1Stable is 0, and Image2 is copied to Image1 if Image1Try is 3 or larger. But the bootloader only tests Image1Try if CheckBypass is 0, which is impossible unless the booted image sets it to 0 before failing. The system is therefore not resilient against runtime errors like failure to mount the rootfs, unless the kernel image sets CheckBypass to 0 before failing. This is not yet implemented in OpenWrt. Setting Image1Stable to 1 prevents the bootloader from updating Image1Try on every boot, saving unnecessary writes to the environment partition. Keeping an OpenWrt initramfs recovery as Image2 is recommended primarily to avoid unwanted OEM firmware boots on failure. Ref the warning above. It enables console-less recovery in case of some failures to boot from Image1. Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> |

ramips: add support for Linksys EA7500 v2
The Linksys EA7500 v2 is advertised as AC1900, but its internal hardware is AC2600 capable. Hardware -------- SoC: Mediatek MT7621AT (880 MHz, 2 cores 4 threads) RAM: 256M (Nanya NT5CC128M16IP-DI) FLASH: 128MB NAND (Macronix MX30LF1G18AC-TI) ETH: 5x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet (MT7530) WIFI: - 2.4GHz: 1x MT7615N (4x4:4) - 5GHz: 1x MT7615N (4x4:4) - 4 antennas: 3 external detachable antennas and 1 internal USB: - 1x USB 3.0 - 1x USB 2.0 BTN: - 1x Reset button - 1x WPS button LEDS: - 1x White led (Power) - 6x Green leds (link lan1-lan4, link wan, wps) - 5x Orange leds (act lan1-lan4, act wan) (working but unmodifiable) Everything works correctly. Installation ------------ The “factory” openwrt image can be flashed directly from OEM stock firmware. After the flash the router will reboot automatically. However, due to the dual boot system, the first installation could fail (if you want to know why, read the footnotes). If the flash succeed and you can reach OpenWrt through the web interface or ssh, you are done. Otherwise the router will try to boot 3 times and then will automatically boot the OEM firmware (don’t turn off the router. Simply wait and try to reach the router through the web interface every now and then, it will take few minutes). After this, you should be back in the OEM firmware. Now you have to flash the OEM Firmware over itself using the OEM web interface (I tested it using the FW_EA7500v2_2.0.8.194281_prod.img downloaded from the Linksys website). When the router reboots flash the “factory” OpenWrt image and this time it should work. After the OpenWrt installation you have to use the sysupgrade image for future updates. Restore OEM Firmware -------------------- After the OpenWrt flash, the OEM firmware is still stored in the second partition thanks to the dual boot system. You can switch from OpenWrt to OEM firmware and vice-versa failing the boot 3 times in a row: 1) power on the router 2) wait 15 seconds 3) power off the router 4) repeat steps 1-2-3 twice more. 5) power on the router and you should be in the “other” firmware If you want to completely remove OpenWrt from your router, switch to the OEM firmware and then flash OEM firmware from the web interface as a normal update. This procedure will overwrite the OpenWrt partition. Footnotes --------- The Linksys EA7500-v2 has a dual boot system to avoid bricks. This system works using 2 pair of partitions: 1) "kernel" and "rootfs" 2) "alt_kernel" and "alt_rootfs". After 3 failed boot attempts, the bootloader tries to boot the other pair of partitions and so on. This system is managed by the bootloader, which writes a bootcount in the s_env partition, and if successfully booted, the system add a "zero-bootcount" after the previous value. A system update performed from OEM firmware, writes the firmware on the other pair of partitions and sets the bootloader to boot the new pair of partitions editing the “boot_part” variable in the bootloader vars. Effectively it's a quick and safe system to switch the selected boot partition. Another way to switch the boot partition is: 1) power on the router 2) wait 15 seconds 3) power off the router 4) repeat steps 1-2-3 twice more. 5) power on the router and you should be in the “other” firmware In this OpenWrt port, this dual boot system is partially working because the bootloader sets the right rootfs partition in the cmdline but unfortunately OpenWrt for ramips platform overwrites the cmdline so is not possible to detect the right rootfs partition. Because all of this, I preferred to simply use the first pair of partitions and set read-only the other pair. However this solution is not optimal because is not possible to know without opening the case which is the current booted partition. Let’s take for example a router booting the OEM firmware from the first pair of partitions. If we flash the OpenWrt image, it will be written on the second pair. In this situation the router will bootloop 3 times and then will automatically come back to the first pair of partitions containg the OEM firmware. In this situation, to flash OpenWrt correctly is necessary to switch the booting partition, flashing again the OEM firmware over itself. At this point the OEM firmware is on both pair of partitions but the current booted pair is the second one. Now, flashing the OpenWrt factory image will write the firmware on the first pair and then will boot correctly. If this limitation in the ramips platform about the cmdline will be fixed, the dual boot system can also be implemented in OpenWrt with almost no effort.

ramips: add support for ALFA Network Quad-E4G
ALFA Network Quad-E4G is a universal Wi-Fi/4G platform, which offers three miniPCIe (PCIe, USB 2.0, SIM) and a single M.2 B-key (dual-SIM, USB 3.0) slots, RTC and five Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE support. Specification: - MT7621A (880 MHz) - 256/512 MB of RAM (DDR3) - 16/32+ MB of FLASH (SPI NOR) - optional second SPI flash (8-pin WSON/SOIC) - 1x microSD (SDXC) flash card reader - 5x 10/100/100 Mbps Ethernet, with passive PoE support (24 V) in LAN1 - optional 802.3at/af PoE module for WAN - 3x miniPCIe slot (with PCIe and USB 2.0 buses, micro SIM and 5 V) - 1x M.2/NGFF B-key 3042 (USB 3.0/2.0, mini + micro SIM) - RTC (TI BQ32002, I2C bus) with backup battery (CR2032) - external hardware watchdog (EM Microelectronic EM6324) - 1x USB 2.0 Type-A - 1x micro USB Type-B for system serial console (Holtek HT42B534) - 11x LED (5 for Ethernet, 5 driven by GPIO, 1x power indicator) - 3x button (reset, user1, user2) - 1x I2C (4-pin, 2.54 mm pitch) header on PCB - 4x SIM (6-pin, 2.00 mm pitch) headers on PCB - 2x UART2/3 (4-pin, 2.54 mm pitch) headers on PCB - 1x mechanical power switch - 1x DC jack with lock (24 V) Other: - U-Boot selects default SIM slot, based on value of 'default_sim' env variable: '1' or unset -> SIM1 (mini), '2' -> SIM2 (micro). This board has additional logic circuit for M.2 SIM switching. The 'sim-select' will work only if both SIM slots are occupied. Otherwise, always slot with SIM inside is selected, no matter 'sim-select' value. - U-Boot enables power in all three miniPCIe and M.2 slots before loading the kernel - this board supports 'dual image' feature (controlled by 'dual_image' U-Boot environment variable) - all three miniPCIe slots have additional 5 V supply on pins 47 and 49 - the board allows to install up to two oversized miniPCIe cards (vendor has dedicated MediaTek MT7615N/D cards for this board) - this board has additional logic circuit controlling PERSTn pins inside miniPCIe slots. By default, PERSTn (GPIO19) is routed to all miniPCIe slots but setting GPIO22 to high allows PERSTn control per slot, using GPIO23-25 (value is inverted) You can use the 'sysupgrade' image directly in vendor firmware which is based on OpenWrt (make sure to not preserve settings - use 'sysupgrade -n -F ...' command). Alternatively, use web recovery mode in U-Boot: 1. Power the device with reset button pressed, the modem LED will start blinking slowly and after ~3 seconds, when it starts blinking faster, you can release the button. 2. Setup static IP 192.168.1.2/24 on your PC. 3. Go to 192.168.1.1 in browser and upload 'sysupgrade' image. Signed-off-by: Piotr Dymacz <pepe2k@gmail.com> |
