The correct model name of WF-2881 is WF2881 without hyphen. The former used
boardnames are not added to SUPPORTED_DEVICES, to make it explicit that the
sysupgrade-tar image, which is newly added in the previous commit, should
not be used to upgrade from older version.

WF-2881 sysupgrade image uses UBI rootfs, but still relies on
default_do_upgrade. Because of this, config backup is not restored after
sysupgrade. It can be fixed by switching to nand_do_upgrade and
sysupgrade-tar image. default_do_upgrade does not handle sysupgrade-tar
properly, so one should use factory image to upgrade from older version.

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.

While most of the target's contents are split into subtargets, the
base-files are maintained for the target as a whole.
However, OpenWrt already implements a mechanism that will use (and
even prefer) files in the subtargets' directories. This can be
exploited to make several scripts subtarget-specific and thus save
some space.
In certain cases, keeping files in parent (=target) base-files was
more convenient, and thus no splitting was performed for those.
Note that this will increase overall code lines, but reduce code
per subtarget.
base-files ipk size reduction:
master (mt7621) 60958 B
split (mt7620) 46358 B (- 14.3 kiB)
split (mt7621) 48759 B (- 11.9 kiB)
split (mt76x8) 44948 B (- 15.6 kiB)
split (rt288x) 43508 B (- 17.0 kiB)
split (rt305x) 45616 B (- 15.0 kiB)
split (rt3883) 44176 B (- 16.4 kiB)
Run-tested on:
GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2 (mt76x8)
D-Link DWR-116 (mt7620)
