All NETGEAR EX6150v2 validate the rootfs for which OpenWrt places a
fakeheader at the position, where the bootloader expects it.
Some EX6150v2 bootloaders do however make a broken assumption about
where the rootfs starts. This is due to them calculating the rootfs
start not based upon the kernel-length but the string-offset of the
FIT-image.
We have to be compatible with both this broken as well as the valid
calculation. So we do relocate the FDT string section to a
block-boundary and enlarge the FIT image to end at this boundary +
BLOCKSIZE / 2. This way, both the broken as well as correct calculations
do expect the rootfs-header at the same position.
It is worth noting, that this is a rare edge-case in which only happens
if the image-length as well as the start of the string-section are not
placed in the same erase-block. This is an edge-case which happens very
rarely (thus it was not spotted prior).

(cherry picked from commit 8f9546f7b0a14f3afa813e39ed45c968ece24464)
The Yafut tool now has limited capabilities for working on filesystem
images stored in regular files. This enables preparing Yaffs2 images
for devices with NOR flash using upstream Yaffs2 filesystem code instead
of the custom kernel2minor tool.
Since minimizing the size of the resulting filesystem image size is
important and upstream Yaffs2 code requires two allocator reserve blocks
to be available when writing a file to the filesystem, a trick is
employed while preparing an OpenWRT image: the blank filesystem image
that Yafut operates on initially contains two extra erase blocks that
are chopped off after the kernel file is written. This is safe to do
because Yaffs2 has a true log structure and therefore only ever writes
sequentially (and the size of the kernel file is known beforehand).
While the two extra erase blocks are necessary for writes, Yaffs2 code
seems to be perfectly capable of reading back files from a "truncated"
filesystem that does not contain these extra erase blocks.
In terms of image size, this new approach is only marginally worse than
the current kernel2minor-based one: specifically, upstream Yaffs2 code
needs to write three object headers (each of which takes up an entire
data chunk) when the kernel file is written to the filesystem:
- an object header for the kernel file when it is created,
- an object header for the root directory when the kernel file is
created,
- an updated object header for the kernel file when the latter is
fully written (so that its new size can be recorded).
kernel2minor only writes two of these headers, which is the absolute
minimum required for reading the file back. This means that the
Yafut-based approach causes firmware images to be at most one erase
block (64 kB) larger than those created using kernel2minor, but only in
the very unfortunate scenario where the size of the kernel file is
really close to a multiple of the erase block size.
The rest of the calculations performed when the empty filesystem image
is first prepared stems from the Yaffs2 layout used by MikroTik NOR
devices: each 65,536-byte erase block contains 63 chunks, each of which
consists of 1024 bytes of data followed by 16-byte Yaffs tags without
ECC data; each such group of 63 chunks is then followed by 16 bytes of
padding, which translates to "-C 1040 -B 64k -E" in the Yafut
invocation. Yaffs2 checkpoints and summaries are disabled (using
Yafut's -P and -S switches, respectively) as they are merely performance
optimizations that require extra storage space. The -L and -M switches
are used to force little-endian or big-endian byte order (respectively)
in the resulting filesystem image, no matter what byte order the build
host uses. The tr invocation is used to ensure that the filesystem
image is initialized with 0xFF bytes (which are an indicator of unused
space for Yaffs2 code).

The EnGenius EAP1300 and EAP1300EXT use identical boards and firmware
(as flashed) from the vendor.
As with the EAP1300, the EAP1300EXT requires a specific firmware version
to flash OpenWRT. Unfortunately, the required firmware is truncated on
the vendor's website.
A working file can be created as follows:
```
curl \
https://www.engeniustech.com/wp_firmware/eap1300-all-v3.5.3.5_c1.9.04.bin \
| perl -pe 's/\x09EAP1300_A/\x0cEAP1300EXT_A/' \

`58a1197a426139a12b03fd432334e677124cbe3384349bd7337f2ee71f1dcfd4`.
Please see commit 2b4ac79 for further

Hardware:
=========
SOC: Qualcomm IPQ4019
WiFi 1: QCA4019 IEEE 802.11b/g/n
WiFi 2: QCA4019 IEEE 802.11a/n/ac
WiFi 3: QCA9886 IEEE 802.11a/n/ac
Bluetooth: Qualcomm CSR8510 (A10)
Zigbee: Silicon Labs EM3581 NCP + Skyworks SE2432L
Ethernet: Qualcomm Atheros QCA8072 (2-port)
Flash: Samsung KLM4G1FEPD (4GB eMMC)
RAM (NAND): 512MB
LED Controller: NXP PCA9633 (I2C)
Buttons: Single reset button (GPIO).
Ethernet:
=========
The device has 2 ethernet ports, configured as follows by default:
- left port: WAN
- right port: LAN
Wifi:
=====
The Wifi radios are turned off by default. To configure the router,
you will need to connect your computer to the LAN port of the device.
Bluetooth and Zigbee:
=====================
Configuration included but not tested.
Storage:
========
For compatibility with stock firmware, all of OpenWrt runs in a 136 MiB
eMMC partition (of which there are two copies, see below). You can also
use partition /dev/mmcblk0p19 "syscfg" (3.4 GiB) any way you see fit.
During very limited tests, stock firmware did not mount this partition.
However, backing up its stock content before use is recommended anyway.
Firmware:
=========
The device uses a dual firmware mechanism: it automatically reverts to
the previous firmware after 3 failed boot attempts.
You can switch to the inactive firmware copy by changing the "boot_part"
U-Boot environment variable. You can also do it by turning on the device
for a couple of seconds and then back off, 3 times in a row.
Installation:
=============
OpenWrt's "factory" image can be installed via the stock web UI:
1. Login to the UI. (The default password is printed on the label.)
2. Enter support mode by clicking on the "CA" link at the bottom.
3. Click "Connectivity", "Choose file", "Start", and ignore warnings.
This port is based on work done by flipy (https://github.com/flipy).

OpenWRT Installation
1. Simplest way is just do upgrade from webpage with *factory.img
2. You can also do it with standard tool for Netgear's debricking - NMPRFlash
3. Most advanced way is to open device , connect to UART console and :
- Prepare OpenWrt initramfs image in TFTP server root (server IP 192.168.1.10)
- Connect serial console (115200,8n1) to UART connector
- Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port
- Stop in u-Boot and run u-Boot command:
> setenv serverip 192.168.1.10
> set fdt_high 0x85000000
> tftpboot 0x83000000 openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_lbr20-initramfs-zImage.itb
> bootm 0x83000000
- Login via ssh
- upload or download *sysupgrade.bin ( like wget ... or scp transfer)
- Install image via "sysupgrade -n" (like “sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_lbr20-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin”)
Back to Stock
- Download firmware from official Netgear's webpage , it will be *.img file after decompressing.
- Use NMRPFlash tool ( detailed insructions on project page https://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflash )
Open the case
- Unscrew nuts and remove washers from antenna's conectors.
- There are two Torx T10 screws under the label next to antenna conectors. You have to unglue this label from left and right corner to get it
- Two parts of shell covers will slide out from eachother , you have to unglue two small rubber pads and namplate sticker on bottom to do that.
- PCB is screwed with 4Pcs of Torx T10 screws
- Before lifting up PCB remove pigtiles for LTE antennas and release them from PCB and radiator (black and white wires)
- On other side of PCB ,in left bottom corner there is already soldered with 4 pins UART connector for console. Counting from left it is +3,3V , TX , RX ,GND (reffer to this picture: https://i.ibb.co/Pmrf9KB/20240116-103524.jpg )

Like with some other ipq40xx devices, the kernel image size for the WPJ428
is limited in stock u-boot. For that reason, the current release doesn't
include an image for the board.
By switching to the zImage format, the kernel image size is reduced which
re-enables the build process. The image boots and behaved normally through
a few days of testing.
Before the switch to kernel version 6.1, it was possible to reduce the
image size by enough when disabling UBIFS and its otherwise unneeded
dependencies.

- except for AP3916 and AP3912 where there is no external serial
console and it is TDB how to solder one. Possibly J12 is UART with
pin1 = 3.3V, pin2 = GND, pin3 = TXD, pin4 = RXD.
- Settings: 115200 8N1
Installation With Serial Console
--------------------------------
1. Attach to the Console port. Power up the device and press the s key
to interrupt autoboot.
2. The default username / password to the bootloader is admin / new2day
3. Check uboot variables using printenv, and update if necessary:
$ setenv AP_MODE 0
$ setenv WATCHDOG_COUNT 0
$ setenv WATCHDOG_LIMIT 0
$ setenv AP_PERSONALITY identifi
$ setenv serverip <SERVER_IPADDR>
$ setenv ipaddr <UNIQUE_IPADDR>
$ setenv MOSTRECENTKERNEL 0; ## OpenWRT only uses the primary image
$ saveenv
$ saveenv ## 2nd time to write the secondary copy
4. On the TFTP server located at <SERVER_IPADDR>, download the OpenWrt
initramfs image. Rename and serve it as vmlinux.gz.uImage.3912
5. TFTP boot the OpenWrt initramfs image from the AP serial console:
$ run boot_net
6. Wait for OpenWrt to start. Internet port sw-eth5 is assiged to LAN
bridge and sw-eth4 (if available) is assigned to WAN. The LAN port
will use default IP address 192.168.1.1 and run a DHCP server.
If you already have a working DHCP server or already have 192.168.1.1
on your network you MUST DISCONNECT the LAN cable from your active
network immediately after the power/status LED turns green!
At this point, you need to temporarily reconfigure the AP to have
a way to transfer the OpenWRT sysupgrade image to it.
Reconfigure the newly converted OpenWRT AP using serial console or
plug in a PC to a sw-eth5 as a separate network. Note -- the LAN/WAN
port assignments were designed to make it possible to convert to
OpenWRT without serial console and using a common firmware
image for many AP models -- they may not make the most sense when
fully deployed.
7. Download and transfer the sysupgrade image to the device using e.g.
SCP.
8. Install OpenWrt to the device using "sysupgrade"
$ sysupgrade -n /path/to/openwrt.bin
9. After it boots up again, as in step 6, connect to AP and reconfigure
for final deployment.
This build supports APs in the AP391x series and similar such as WiNG
AP7662.
Ethernet devices within OpenWRT are named "sw-eth1" thru "sw-eth5".
Mapping from OpenWRT internal naming to external naming on the case is
as follows:
```
|sw-eth1|sw-eth2|sw-eth3|sw-eth4|sw-eth5
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP3917 | | | | GE2 | GE1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP7662 | | | | GE2 | GE1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP3916 | | | | CAM* | GE1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP3915 | | | | | GE1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
AP3912 | | P1 | P2 | P3 | LAN1
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
```
By default sw-eth4 is mapped to WAN. All others are assigned to the
LAN.
CAM* - On AP3916, sw-eth4 is the camera's interface. You should
reconfigure this to be on LAN after OpenWRT boots from flash.
Installation Without Serial Console
-----------------------------------
The main premise is to set u-boot environment variables using the
Extreme Networks firmware's rdwr_boot_cfg program.
$ rdwr_boot_cfg
Utility to manipulate the boot ROM config blocks
All errors are written to the sytem log file (/tmp/log/ap.log)
```
Usage: rdwr_boot_cfg <read_all|read_var|read_var_f|write_var|rm_var> ...
read_all read the entire active block
read_var <var> read a single variable from the active block
read_var_f <var> read a single variable from the active block
(formatted)
write_var <var=val> write a single variable/value pair to both
blocks
rm_var <var> delete a single variable from both blocks
```
WARNING: Be very sure you have set the u-boot environment correctly.
If not, it can only be fixed by attaching serial console!
Be aware that the Extreme Networks shell environment will automatically
reboot every 5 minutes if there is no controller present.
Read and understand these steps fully before attempting. It is easy
to make mistakes!
1. Place the OpenWRT initramfs on the TFTP server and name it as
vmlinux.gz.uImage.3912
2. Boot up to Extreme Networks WING-Campus mode OS. Port GE1/LAN1
will be a DHCP **client**. Find out the IP address from your DHCP
server and SSH in. Default user/passwd is admin/new2day or
admin/admin123.
If it is booting to WING-Distributed mode, use this command to
convert to Campus mode.
$ operational-mode centralized
3. Upon bootup you have about 5mins to changed these u-boot variables
if necessary using the rdwr_boot_cfg command in Linux shell:
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var AP_MODE=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var MOSTRECENTKERNEL=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var WATCHDOG_COUNT=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var WATCHDOG_LIMIT=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var AP_PERSONALITY=identifi
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var serverip=<SERVER_IPADDR>
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var ipaddr=<UNIQUE_IPADDR>
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var bootcmd="run boot_net"
4. Reboot AP.
5. Connect PC with ethernet to GE1/LAN1 port. You should get a
DHCP address in the 192.168.1.x range and should be able to
SSH to the new OpenWRT TFTP recovery/installation shell.
6. At this point, u-boot is still set to TFTP boot, so you have to
replace the TFTP image with the original Extreme Networks image so
that you can change the u-boot environment.
See the instructions for Extracting Extreme Networks firmware
image.
DON'T REBOOT YET!
7. Next you must follow steps 6 thru 8 from the Installation with serial
console. After which you should have OpenWRT installed to primary
flash firmware.
8. Now Reboot. This time it will boot using TFTP into Extreme Networks
image. You may need to reconnect cables at this point -- GE1/LAN1
will be a DHCP **client** and you can SSH in -- just like step 2.
Get the IP address from you own DHCP server.
9. Set u-boot env as follows:
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var MOSTRECENTKERNEL=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var WATCHDOG_COUNT=0
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var bootcmd="run boot_flash"
10. Reboot AP. This time it should be into OpenWRT. GE1/LAN1 will be
a DHCP **server** and have static IP 192.168.1.1 -- just like step 5.
11. SSH into the LAN port and reconfigure to final configuration. Don't
make any changes that prevent you from SSH or Luci access!
Restoring Extreme Networks firmware
-----------------------------------
Assuming you have the original Extreme Networks image:
1. Login to OpenWRT shell
2. scp the Extreme Networks packaged firmware image file AP391x-*.img to
/tmp
3. Extract the firmware uimage file:
$ tar xjf AP391x-*.img vmlinux.gz.uImage
4. Force run sysupgrade:
$ sysupgrade -F /tmp/AP391x-*.img /
5. Restore the u-boot varable(s):
$ rdwr_boot_cfg write_var WATCHDOG_LIMIT=3

The ZTE MF282 Plus is a LTE router used (exclusively?) by the network
operator "3". It is very similar to the MF286/MF287 but in the form factor
of the MF282.
Specifications
==============
SoC: IPQ4019
RAM: 256MiB
Flash: 8MiB SPI-NOR + 128MiB SPI-NAND
LAN: 1x GBit LAN
LTE: ZTE Cat6
WiFi: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac SoC-integrated
MAC addresses
=============
LAN: from config
WiFi 1: from config + 1
WiFi 2: from config + 2
Installation
============
Option 1 - TFTP
---------------
TFTP installation using UART is preferred. Disassemble the device and
connect serial. Put the initramfs image as openwrt.bin to your TFTP server
and configure a static IP of 192.168.1.100. Load the initramfs image by
typing:
setenv serverip 192.168.1.100
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
tftpboot 0x84000000 openwrt.bin
bootm 0x84000000
From this intiramfs boot you can take a backup of the currently installed
partitions as no vendor firmware is available for download:
ubiattach -m9
cat /dev/ubi0_0 > /tmp/ubi0_0
cat /dev/ubi0_1 > /tmp/ubi0_1
Copy the files /tmp/ubi0_0 and /tmp/ubi0_1 somewhere save.
Once booted, transfer the sysupgrade image and run sysupgrade. You might
have to delete the stock volumes first:
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
Option 2 - From stock firmware
------------------------------
The installation from stock requires an exploit first. The exploit consists
of a backup file that forces the firmware to download telnetd via TFTP from
192.168.0.22 and run it. Once exploited, you can connect via telnet and
login as admin:admin.
The exploit will be available at the device wiki page.
Once inside the stock firmware, you can transfer the -factory.bin file to
/tmp by using "scp" from the stock frmware or "tftp".
ZTE has blocked writing to the NAND. Fortunately, it's easy to allow write
access - you need to read from one file in /proc. Once done, you need to
erase the UBI partition and flash OpenWrt. Before performing the operation,
make sure that mtd9 is the partition labelled "rootfs" by calling
"cat /proc/mtd".
Complete commands:
cd /tmp
tftp -g -r factory.bin 192.168.0.22
cat /proc/driver/sensor_id
flash_erase /dev/mtd9 0 0
dd if=/tmp/factory.bin of=/dev/mtdblock9 bs=131072
Afterwards, reboot your device and you should have a working OpenWrt
installation.
Restore Stock
=============
Option 1 - via UART
-------------------
Boot an OpenWrt initramfs image via TFTP as for the initial installation.
Transfer the two backed-up files to your box to /tmp.
Then, run the following commands - replace $kernel_length and $rootfs_size
by the size of ubi0_0 and ubi0_1 in bytes.
ubiattach -m 9
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs_data
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel -s $kernel_length
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs -s $rootfs_size
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_0 /tmp/ubi0_0
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_1 /tmp/ubi0_1
Option 2 - from within OpenWrt
------------------------------
This option requires to flash an initramfs version first so that access
to the flash is possible. This can be achieved by sysupgrading to the
recovery.bin version and rebooting. Once rebooted, you are again in a
default OpenWrt installation, but no partition is mounted.
Follow the commands from Option 1 to flash back to stock.
LTE Modem
=========
The LTE modem is similar to the MF286R, it provides an RNDIS interface
and an AT interface.
Other Notes
===========
There is one GPIO Switch "Power button blocker" which, if enabled, does not
trigger a reset of the SoC if the modem reboots. If disabled, the SoC is
rebooted along with the modem. The modem can be rebooted via the exported
GPIO "modem-reset" in /sys/class/gpio.

The ZTE MF287 Pro is a LTE router used (exclusively?) by the network
operator "3". It is very similar to the MF287+, but the hardware layout
and partition layout have changed quite a bit.
Specifications
==============
SoC: IPQ4018
RAM: 256MiB
Flash: 8MiB SPI-NOR + 128MiB SPI-NAND
LAN: 4x GBit LAN
LTE: ZTE Cat12
WiFi: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac SoC-integrated
USB: 1x 2.0
MAC addresses
=============
LAN: from config + 2
WiFi 1: from config
WiFi 2: from config + 1
Installation
============
Option 1 - TFTP
---------------
TFTP installation using UART is preferred. Disassemble the device and
connect serial. Put the initramfs image as openwrt.bin to your TFTP server
and configure a static IP of 192.168.1.100. Load the initramfs image by
typing:
setenv serverip 192.168.1.100
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
tftpboot 0x82000000 openwrt.bin
bootm 0x82000000
From this intiramfs boot you can take a backup of the currently installed
partitions as no vendor firmware is available for download:
ubiattach -m17
cat /dev/ubi0_0 > /tmp/ubi0_0
cat /dev/ubi0_1 > /tmp/ubi0_1
Copy the files /tmp/ubi0_0 and /tmp/ubi0_1 somewhere save.
Once booted, transfer the sysupgrade image and run sysupgrade. You might
have to delete the stock volumes first:
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
Option 2 - From stock firmware
------------------------------
The installation from stock requires an exploit first. The exploit consists
of a backup file that forces the firmware to download telnetd via TFTP from
192.168.0.22 and run it. Once exploited, you can connect via telnet and
login as admin:admin.
The exploit will be available at the device wiki page.
Once inside the stock firmware, you can transfer the -factory.bin file to
/tmp by using "scp" from the stock frmware or "tftp".
ZTE has blocked writing to the NAND. Fortunately, it's easy to allow write
access - you need to read from one file in /proc. Once done, you need to
erase the UBI partition and flash OpenWrt. Before performing the operation,
make sure that mtd13 is the partition labelled "rootfs" by calling
"cat /proc/mtd".
Complete commands:
cd /tmp
tftp -g -r factory.bin 192.168.0.22
cat /proc/driver/sensor_id
flash_erase /dev/mtd17 0 0
dd if=/tmp/factory.bin of=/dev/mtdblock17 bs=131072
Afterwards, reboot your device and you should have a working OpenWrt
installation.
Restore Stock
=============
Option 1 - via UART
-------------------
Boot an OpenWrt initramfs image via TFTP as for the initial installation.
Transfer the two backed-up files to your box to /tmp.
Then, run the following commands - replace $kernel_length and $rootfs_size
by the size of ubi0_0 and ubi0_1 in bytes.
ubiattach -m 17
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs_data
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel -s $kernel_length
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs -s $rootfs_size
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_0 /tmp/ubi0_0
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_1 /tmp/ubi0_1
Option 2 - from within OpenWrt
------------------------------
This option requires to flash an initramfs version first so that access
to the flash is possible. This can be achieved by sysupgrading to the
recovery.bin version and rebooting. Once rebooted, you are again in a
default OpenWrt installation, but no partition is mounted.
Follow the commands from Option 1 to flash back to stock.
LTE Modem
=========
The LTE modem is similar to other ZTE devices and controls some more LEDs
and battery management.
Configuring the connection using uqmi works properly, the modem
provides three serial ports and a QMI CDC ethernet interface.
Other Notes
===========
Contrary to the stock firmware, the USB port on the back can be used.
There is one GPIO Switch "Power button blocker" which, if enabled, does not
trigger a reset of the SoC if the modem reboots. If disabled, the SoC is
rebooted along with the modem. The modem can be rebooted via the exported
GPIO "modem-reset" in /sys/class/gpio.

DK01 and DK04 board support has been in a form of 2 patches that we have
been carrying for a long time.
Both of the patches contain weird changes, dont follow any DT syntax and I
honestly doubt they are even valid.
DK01 and DK04 also have not been converted to DSA even after a long time
and I doubt that anybody in the community even has these boards as they are
QCA reference boards that are not even obtainable anymore.
Since patches for these 2 boards have been just causing us pain when trying
to update the kernel to a new major release or even point releases lets
remove the support for these boards, and if there are users they can easily
be reinstated.

It seems that the Meraki bootloader does not respect the kernel ARM booting
specification[1] that requires that address where DTB is located needs to
be 64-bit aligned and often places the DTB on a non 64-bit aligned address
and then kernel fails to find the DTB magic and fails to boot.
Even worse, there is no prints until early printk is enabled and then its
visible that kernel is trying to find the ATAG-s as DTB was not found or
is invalid.
Unifi 6 devices had the same issue and it can be solved by passing the
load adress as part of the FIT image.
It seems that the vendor was aware of the issue and is always relocating
the DTB to 0x89000000, so lets just do the same.
Now that booting is reliable, reenable default images for the Meraki MR33
and MR74 devices.

Installation
------------
1. Enable SSH in the Teltonika UI
(System --> Administration --> Access Control)
2. Check from which partition set the device is currently running from.
$ cat /proc/boot_info/rootfs/primaryboot
In case this output reads 0, install a Software update from Teltonika
first. After upgrade completion, check this file now reads 1 before
continuing.
2. Transfer the OpenWrt factory image to the device using scp. Use the
same password (user root!) as used for the Web-UI.
$ scp -O openwrt-factory.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp
3. Connect to the device using ssh as the root user.
4. Install OpenWrt by writing the factory image to flash.
$ ubiformat /dev/mtd16 -y -f /tmp/openwrt-factory.bin
5. Instruct the bootloaer to boot from the first partition set.
$ echo 0 > /proc/boot_info/rootfs/primaryboot
$ cat /proc/boot_info/getbinary_bootconfig > /tmp/bootconfig.bin
$ cat /proc/boot_info/getbinary_bootconfig1 > /tmp/bootconfig1.bin

The upstream board-2.bin file in the linux-firmware.git
repository for the QCA4019 contains a packed board-2.bin
for this device for both 2.4G and 5G wifis. This isn't
something that the ath10k driver supports.
Until this feature either gets implemented - which is
very unlikely -, or the upstream boardfile is mended
(both, the original submitter and ath10k-firmware
custodian have been notified). OpenWrt will go back
and use its own bespoke boardfile. This unfortunately
means that 2.4G and on some revisions the 5G WiFi is
not available in the initramfs image for this device.

After migrating to kernel 5.15, upgrading causes the units to become
soft-bricked, hanging forever at the kernel startup.
Kernel size limitation of 4000000 bytes is suspected here, but this is
not fully confirmed.
Disable the images to protect users from inadvertent bricking of units,
because recovery of those is painful with Cisco's U-boot, until the root
