Zyxel EX5601-T0 specifics
--------------
The operator specific firmware running on the Zyxel branded
EX5601-T0 includes U-Boot modifications affecting the OpenWrt
installation.

| mtd8 | 15a80000 | 00040000 | "zyubi" |
The router boots BL2 which than loads FIP (u-boot).
U-boot has hardcoded a command to always launch Zloader "mtd read zloader 0x46000000" and than "bootm". Bootargs are deactivated.
Zloader is the zyxel booloader which allow to dual-boot ubi or ubi2, by default access to zloader is blocked.
Too zloader checks that the firmware contains a particolar file called zyfwinfo.
Additional details regarding Zloader can be found here:

Installation
------------
Keep in mind that openwrt can only run on the UBI partition, the openwrt firmware is not able to understand the zloader bootargs.
The procedure allows restoring the UBI partition with the Zyxel firmware and retains all the OEM functionalities.
1. Unlock Zloader (this will allow to swap manually between partitions UBI and UBI2):
- Attach a usb-ttl adapter to your computer and boot the router.
- While the router is booting at some point you will read the following: `Please press Enter to activate this console.`
- As soon as you read that press enter, type root and than press enter again (just do it, don't care about the logs scrolling).
- Most likely the router is still printing the boot log, leave it boot until it stops.
- If everything went ok you should have full root access "root@EX5601-T0:/#".
- Type the following command and press enter: "fw_setenv EngDebugFlag 0x1".
- Reboot the router.
- As soon as you read `Hit any key to stop autoboot:` press Enter.
- If everything went ok you should have the following prompt: "ZHAL>".
- You have successfully unlocked zloader access, this procedure must be done only once.
2. Check the current active partition:
- Boot the router and repeat the steps above to gain root access.
- Type the following command to check the current active image: "cat /proc/cmdline".
- If `rootubi=ubi` it means that the active partition is `mtd6`
- If `rootubi=ubi2` it means that the active partition is `mtd7`
- As mentioned earlier we need to flash openwrt into ubi/mtd6 and never overwrite ubi2/mtd7 to be able to fully roll-back.
- To activate and boot from mtd7 (ubi2) enter into ZHAL> command prompt and type the following commands:
atbt 1 # unlock write
atsw # swap boot partition
atsr # reboot the router
- After rebooting check again with "cat /proc/cmdline" that you are correctly booting from mtd7/ubi2
- If yes proceed with the installation guide. If not probably you don't have a firmware into ubi2 or you did something wrong.
3. Flashing:
- Download the sysupgrade file for the router from openwrt, than we need to add the zyfwinfo file into the sysupgrade tar.
Zloader only checks for the magic (which is a fixed value 'EXYZ') and the crc of the file itself (256bytes).
I created a script to create a valid zyfwinfo file but you can use anything that does exactly the same:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pameruoso/OpenWRT-Zyxel-EX5601-T0/main/gen_zyfwinfo.sh
- Add the zyfwinfo file into the sysupgrade tar.
- Enter via telnet or ssh into the router with admin credentials
- Enter the following commands to disable the firmware and model checks
"zycli fwidcheck off" and "zycli modelcheck off"
- Open the router web interface and in the update firmware page select the "restore default settings option"
- Select the sysupgrade file and click on upload.
- The router will flash and reboot itself into openwrt from UBI
4. Restoring and going back to Zyxel firmware.
- Use the ZHAL> command line to manually swap the boot parition to UBI2 with the following:
atbt 1 # unlock write
atsw # swap boot partition
atsr # reboot the router
- You will boot again the Zyxel firmware you have into UBI2 and you can flash the zyxel firmware to overwrite the UBI partition and openwrt.
Working features
----------------
3 gbit lan ports
Wifi
Zyxel partitioning for coexistance with Zloader and dual boot.
WAN SFP port (only after exporting pins 57 and 10. gpiobase411)
leds
reset button
serial interface
usb port
lan ethernet 2.5 gbit port (autosense)
wan ethernet 2.5 gbit port (autosense)
Not working
----------------
voip (missing drivers or proper zyxel platform software)
Swapping the wan ethernet/sfp xor port
----------------
The way to swap the wan port between sfp and ethernet is the following:
export the pins 57 and 10.
Pin 57 is used to probe if an sfp is present.
If pin 57 value is 0 it means that an sfp is present into the cage (cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio468/value).
If pin 57 value is 1 it means that no sfp is inserted into the cage.
In conclusion by default both 57 an 10 pins are by default 1, which means that the active port is the ethernet one.
After inserting an SFP pin 57 will become 0 and you have to manually change the value of pin 10 to 0 too.
This is totally scriptable of course.
Leds description
------------
All the leds are working out of the box but the leds managed by the 2 maxlinear phy (phy 5 lan, phy6 wan).
To activate the phy5 led (rj45 ethernet port led on the back of the router) you have to use mdio-tools.
To activate the phy6 led (led on the front of the router for 2.5gbit link) you have to use mdio-tools.
Example:
Set lan5 led to fast blink on 2500/1000, slow blink on 10/100:
mdio mdio-bus mmd 5:30 raw 0x0001 0x33FC
Set wan 2.5gbit led to constant on when wan is 2.5gbit:
mdio mdio-bus mmd 6:30 raw 0x0001 0x0080

Install via Web UI:
Apply factory image in the stock firmware's Web UI.
Install via Emergency Room Mode:
DIR-859 A1 will enter recovery mode when the system fails to boot
or press reset button for about 10 seconds.
First, set computer IP to 192.168.0.5 and Gateway to 192.168.0.1.
Then we can open http://192.168.0.1 in the web browser to upload
OpenWrt factory image or stock firmware. Some modern browsers may
need to turn on compatibility mode.

1. Remove unnecessary new lines in the dts.
2. Remove duplicate included file "gpio.h" in the device dts.
3. Add missing button labels "reset" and "wps".
4. Unify the format of the reg properties.
5. Add u-boot environment support.
6. Reduce spi clock frequency since the max value suggested by the
chip datasheet is only 25 MHz.
7. Add seama header fixup for DIR-859 A1. Without this header fixup,
u-boot checksum for kernel will fail after the first boot.

That was a workaround for OpenWrt generation of config files. This patch
was used to postpone returning from probe function until loading
firmware and calling register_wiphy().
All of that is not needed anymore thanks to the ieee80211 hotplug.d
script introduced in the commit 5f8f8a3661 ("base-files, mac80211,
broadcom-wl: wifi detection and configuration"). That takes care of
generating /etc/config/wireless entries even if wireless device appears
late in the booting process.

IGD is only useful when accelerating a VM guest that wants to direct
render to memory in the host's framebuffer, but since OpenWrt
typically runs on headless hardware, this serves no purpose.
Also build vfio with VFIO_NOIOMMU undefined (to get all of the code
enabled), but allow it to be enabled via boot-time modparams
settings (or at run-time via sysfs writes to
"/sys/module/vfio/parameters/enable_unsafe_noiommu_mode".

TOZED TL70-C is an LTE CAT6 cellular modem based on UNISOC SL8563. UNISOC
was formerly called Spreadtrum hence the manufacturer name detected on the
modem is spreadtrum.
The connect and disconnect commands bring up and down the usb0 interface.
They are Base64 encoded as that's what the AT command accepts. The modem
can do up to 4 APNs by bringing the USB interfaces, usb0 to usb3, up.
Setting the USB interfaces up:
connmanctl ndisdial AT^NDISDUN="usb0",1,1
connmanctl ndisdial AT^NDISDUN="usb1",1,2
connmanctl ndisdial AT^NDISDUN="usb2",1,3
connmanctl ndisdial AT^NDISDUN="usb3",1,4
Setting the USB interfaces down:
connmanctl ndisdial AT^NDISDUN="usb0",0,1
connmanctl ndisdial AT^NDISDUN="usb1",0,2
connmanctl ndisdial AT^NDISDUN="usb2",0,3
