Add correct NAND_SIZE in device definitions for EA6350v3, EA8300, MR8300,
WHW01 and WHW03v2, to enable improved image size checks wrt UBI reserved
blocks on NAND devices.
Signed-off-by: Tony Ambardar <itugrok@yahoo.com>
Many NAND devices use a build recipe with "append-ubi | check-size" to
ensure factory images don't exceed the target flash partition size.
However, UBI reserves space for bad block handling and other operational
overhead, and thus 'check-size' can overestimate the space available by
several MB. In practice, this means a failed check is definitely a failure,
while a passing check is only probably a pass.
Improve the situation by teaching 'Build/append-ubi' to check image sizes
while accounting for UBI reserved blocks. Add new device variable NAND_SIZE
and use with existing IMAGE_SIZE to derate the available space. Each UBI
device reserves 20 PEBs per 1024 PEBs of the entire NAND device for bad
blocks, plus an additional 4 PEBs overhead.
Many devices can transparently enable this check by setting NAND_SIZE based
on their flash storage, and may then remove any unneeded 'check-size'.

Current factory image sizes for Linksys devices are 256-byte aligned. This
is not an issue writing factory images from the OpenWrt or Linksys GUIs,
but can lead to failures using a TFTP client from the Linksys bootloader:
NAND write: device 1 offset 0x2800000, size 0xc00100
Attempt to write to non page aligned data
NAND write to offset 2800000 failed -22
0 bytes written: ERROR
Simplify Linksys footer creation by migrating to a makefile build recipe,
and pre-pad the footer (with 0xFF) to ensure the final image is $(PAGESIZE)
aligned. Finally, remove the old linksys-image.sh script no longer needed.
Linksys footer details are given below for future reference. The 256-byte
footer is appended to factory images and tested by both the Linksys
Upgrader (observed in EA6350v3) and OpenWrt sysupgrade.
Footer format:
.LINKSYS. Checked by Linksys upgrader before continuing. (9 bytes)
<VERSION> Upgrade version number, unchecked so arbitrary. (8 bytes)
<TYPE> Model of device, space padded (0x20). (15 bytes)
<CRC> CRC checksum of factory image to flash. (8 bytes)
<padding> Padding ('0' + 0x20 * 7) (8 bytes)
<signature> Signature of signer, unchecked so arbitrary. (16 bytes)
<padding> Padding with nulls (0x00) (192 bytes)

This device is very similar, if not identical, to the TP-Link AX23 v1
but is targeted at service providers and features a completely different
flash layout.
Hardware
--------
CPU: MediaTek MT7621 DAT
RAM: 128MB DDR3 (integrated)
FLASH: 16MB SPI-NOR
WiFi: MediaTek MT7905 + MT7975 (2.4 / 5 DBDC) 802.11ax
SERIAL: 115200 8N1
LEDs - (3V3 - GND - RX - TX) - ETH ports
Installation
------------
Flashing is only possible via a serial connection using the sysupgrade
image; the factory image must be signed. You can flash the sysupgrade
image directly through the U-Boot console, or preferably, by booting the
initramfs image and flashing with the sysupgrade command. Follow these
steps for sysupgrade flashing:
1. Establish a UART serial connection.
2. Set up a TFTP server at 192.168.0.2 and copy the initramfs image
there.
3. Power on the device and press any key to interrupt normal boot.
4. Load the initramfs image using tftpboot.
5. Boot with bootm.
6. If you haven't done so already, back up all stock mtd partitions.
7. Copy the sysupgrade image to the router.
8. Flash OpenWrt through either LuCI or the sysupgrade command. Remember
not to attempt saving settings.
Revert to stock firmware
------------------------
Flash stock firmware via OEM web-recovery mode. If you don't have access
to the stock firmware image, you will need to restore the firmware
partition backed up earlier.
Web-Recovery
------------
The router supports an HTTP recovery mode:
1. Turn off the router.
2. Press the reset button and power on the device.
3. When all LEDs start flashing, release reset and quickly press it
again.
The interface is reachable at 192.168.0.1 and supports installation of
the OEM factory image. Note that flashing OpenWrt this way is not
possible, as mentioned above.

Download and flash the manufacturer's built OpenWRT image available at
http://www.cudytech.com/openwrt_software_download
Install the new OpenWRT image via luci (System -> Backup/Flash firmware)
Be sure to NOT keep settings. The force upgrade may need to be checked
due to differences in router naming conventions.
Cudy WR1300 v3 differs from v2 only in swapped WiFi chip PCIe slots. Common
nodes are extracted to .dtsi and new v2 and v3 dts are created.
Cudy WR1300 v2 dts now contains ieee80211-freq-limit and has
eeprom_factory_8000 length fixed.
The same manufacturer's built OpenWRT image is provided for both v2 and v3
devices as a step in installing, but for proper WiFi functionality,
a separate build is required.
Recovery:
- Loads only signed manufacture firmware due to bootloader RSA verification
- serve tftp-recovery image as /recovery.bin on 192.168.1.88/24
- connect to any lan ethernet port
- power on the device while holding the reset button
- wait at least 8 seconds before releasing reset button for image to
download

The flash procedure is similar to the Xiaomi AX6000 router.
Load openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb from original Zyxel U-Boot:
tftpboot openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb
bootm 0x46000000
Load mtd-rw
insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/mtd-rw.ko i_want_a_brick=1
Format ubi and create ubootenv partitions
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
Copy openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb to /tmp and create recovery partition.
If your recovery image is larger than 10MiB, size the recovery partition accordingly to make it fit.
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 2 -N recovery -s 10MiB
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_2 openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb
Copy preloader and uboot to /tmp and write them in the mtd
mtd write /tmp/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-preloader.bin bl2
mtd write /tmp/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-bl31-uboot.fip fip
Now write the firmware:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb
To create a correct BL2, I had to add a profile for 'spim:4k+256' as I could not find a way to value the variable 'NAND_TYPE'.
Features and fixes from hitech95 tree has been squashed, I'm attaching his commit message:
The Power LED was not working correctly and not reacting
to the boot process and statuses.
The board has space (footprint) for an unpopulated Zigbee chip,
while we dont know the device model having this chip populated
we have to assure that the common dts doesnt enable
interfaces that share pins with such device.
In this instance the PCIe and the uart1 and uart2 are disabled.
Some of the control PCIE pins seems to be used for the Zigbee chip,
UART1 seems to be used as a flash port while UART2 should be the
main comunication interface of Zigbee chip.
The Zigbee chip should be a EFR32MG21. But the pins used for UART
seems to be not on standard PINS used by other adapters.
So it cannot run firmwares shared on the web.
But it should be possible to build a custom firmware with
the corrtect pinmux.
This commit also contains the following squashed commit from hitech95

(@MaxS0niX) for the info and idea to make one PR for two devices at once).

OEM easy installation
---------------------
1. Remove all dots from the factory image filename (except the dot
before file extension)
2. Upload and update the firmware via the original web interface
3. Wait until green status led stops blinking (can take several minutes)
4. Login to OpenWrt initramsfs. It's recommended to make a backup of the
mtd partitions at this point.
4. Perform sysupgrade using the following command (or use Luci):
sysupgrade -n sysupgrade.bin
5. Wait until green status les stops blinking (can take several minutes)
6. Mission acomplished
Return to Stock
---------------
Option 1. Restore firmware Slot1 from a backup (firmware2.bin):
cd /tmp
mtd -e Firmware2 write firmware2.bin Firmware2
printf 1 | dd bs=1 seek=$((0x18007)) count=1 of=/dev/mtdblock2
reboot
Option 2. Decrypt, ungzip and split stock firmware image into the parts,
take Slot1 parts (kernel2.bin, rootfs2.bin) and write them:
cd /tmp
mtd -e Kernel2 write kernel2.bin Kernel2
mtd -e RootFS2 write rootfs2.bin RootFS2
printf 1 | dd bs=1 seek=$((0x18007)) count=1 of=/dev/mtdblock2
reboot
