OEM SSID: echo devolo-$(grep SerialNumber /dev/mtd1 | grep -o ...$)
OEM WiFi password: grep DlanSecurityID /dev/mtd1|tr -d -|cut -d'=' -f 2
Recommendations: Configure and link your PLC with OEM firmware
BEFORE you flash the device. PLC configuration/link should
remain in different memory and should work straight forward
after flashing.
Restrictions: PLC link detection to trigger plc red led is not
available. PLC G.hn chip is not compatible with open-plc-tools,
it uses LCMP protocol with AES-128 and requires different
software.
Notes: Pairing should be possible with gpio switch. Default
configuration will trigger wifi led with 2.4Ghz wifi traffic
and plc white led with wan traffic.
Flash instruction (TFTP):
1. Set PC to fixed ip address 192.168.0.100
2. Download the sysupgrade image and rename it to uploadfile
3. Start a tftp server with the image file in its root directory
4. Turn off the router
5. Press and hold Reset button
6. Turn on router with the reset button pressed and wait ~15 seconds
7. Release the reset button and after a short time
the firmware should be transferred from the tftp server
8. Allow 1-2 minutes for the first boot.

Important Notes
===============
0. NOR Flash (2 MiB) is not touched by OpenWrt installation.
1. NAND Flash (128 MiB) layout under OpenWrt is changed as follows:
all space is split between 4 MiB kernel and 124 MiB UBI areas;
vendor partitions (language and mtdoops) are removed; kernel space
size can be further expanded if needed; maximum image size is set
to 25600k for compatibility reasons and can also be increased.
2. CPU clock is 775 MHz, not 750 MHz.
3. 5 GHz wireless radio chip is Atheros AR9580-AR1A with bogus PCI
device ID 0xabcd. For ath9k driver to load successfully, this is
overriden in DTS with correct value for this chip, 0x0033.
4. RFKILL button is wired to AR9580 pin 9 which is normally disabled
by chip definition in ath9k code (0x0000F4FF gpio mask). Therefore
'qca,gpio-mask=<0xf6ff>' hack must be used for button to work
properly.
5. USB port is always on, no GPIO for 5V power control has been
identified.

[daniel@makrotopia.org: fixed patch format, improved grep, cosmetics]
The GL.iNet GL-AR750S has been supported by the ar71xx and ath79
platforms with access to its 16 MB NOR flash, but not its 128 MB
SPI NAND flash.
This commit provides support for the NAND through the upstream
SPI-NAND framework.
At this time, the OEM U-Boot appears to only support loading the
kernel from NOR. This configuration is preserved as this time,
with the glinet,gl-ar750s-nand name reserved for a potential,
future, NAND-only boot.
The family of GL-AR750S devices on the ath79 platform now includes:
* glinet,gl-ar750m-nor-nand "nand" target
* glinet,gl-ar750m-nor "nand" target (NAND-aware)
NB: This commit increases the kernel size from 2 MB to 4 MB
"Force-less" sysupgrade is presently supported from the current
versions of following NOR-based firmwre images to the version of
glinet,gl-ar750s-nor firmware produced by this commit:
* glinet,gl-ar750s -- OpenWrt 19.07 ar71xx
* glinet,gl-ar750s -- OpenWrt 19.07 ath79
Users who have sucessfully upgraded to glinet,gl-ar750m-nor may then
flash glinet,gl-ar750m-nor-nand with sysupgrade to transtion to the
NAND-based variant.
Other upgrades to these images, including directly to the NAND-based
glinet,gl-ar750s-nor-nand firmware, can be accomplished through U-Boot.
NB: See "ath79: restrict GL-AR750S kernel build-size to 2 MB" which
enables flashing of NAND factory.img with the current GL-iNet U-Boot,
"U-Boot 1.1.4-gcf378d80-dirty (Aug 16 2018 - 07:51:15)"
The GL-AR750S OEM U-Boot allows upload and flashing of either NOR
firmware (sysupgrade.bin) or NAND firmware (factory.img) through its
HTTP-based GUI. Serial connectivity is not required.
The glinet,gl-ar750s-nor and glinet,gl-ar750s-nor-nand images
generated after this commit flash each other directly.
This commit changes the control of the USB VBUS to gpio-hog from
regulator-fixed introduced by commit 0f6b944c92. This reduces the
compressed kernel size by ~14 kB, with no apparent loss of
functionality. No other ath79-nand boards are using regulator-fixed
at this time.
Note: mtd_get_mac_binary art 0x5006 does not return the proper MAC
and the GL.iNet source indicates that only the 0x0 offset is valid
The ar71xx targets are unmodified.

The GL.iNet GL-AR300M series of devices includes variants without NAND
and only the 16 MB NOR flash. These include the GL-AR300M16 and the
GL-AR300M-Lite (already with its own board name).
This board-name addition provides disambiguation from the NAND-bearing
GL-AR300M devices, both for OpenWrt code and for end users.
Kernel and firmware support for NAND and UBI will add ~320 kB to the
overall firmware size at this time. This NOR-only option continues to
provide more compact firmware for both the GL-AR300M16 as well as
those who wish to use it as an alternate or primary, NOR-resident
firmware on the GL-AR300M.
The ar71xx targets are unmodified.
Installation
------------
Install through OEM U-Boot (HTTP-based) or `sysupgrade --force` when
booted from NOR and running OEM or OpenWrt, NOR-based firmware.
As one of the intentions is disambiguation from NAND-bearing units,
users who have flashed this firmware onto a device with NAND would
need to use U-Boot or `sysupgrade --force` to flash firmware that
again supports NAND.
There are no additional SUPPORTED_DEVICES as it is not possible to
determine if a device does or does not have NAND based on
either the OEM's or OpenWrt's board names prior to this patch.

Device features 4 partitions:
-----------------------------------------
| boot | recovery | rootfs | misc |
| (ext4) | (ext4) | (fsf2) | (f2fs) |
_________________________________________
Idea was to use f2fs only but the u-boot currently lacks support
so first 2 partition are ext4 to be u-boot readable, and this was
a reason why custom build and sysupgrade sections were required.
On the sysupgrade, boot and rootfs partitions are updated, firmare
image and user configuration is saved on the misc partition and if
the upgrade was successfull, recovery partition will be updated on
after the reboot from preinit script. If the sysupgrade fails for any
reason, device will fallback to recovery initramfs image.

if its linux magic number exists & uImage CRC are correct.
If either of those conditions fail, a matching sys'n'_fail flag
is set in uboot env & a restart performed in the hope that the
alternate kernel is okay.
If neither kernel checksums ok and both are marked failed, system 2
is booted anyway.
Note uboot's tftp flash install writes the transferred
image to both kernel partitions.
Installation:
Similar to the Xiaomi MIR3G, we keep stock Xiaomi firmware in
kernel0 for ease of recovery, and install OpenWRT into kernel1 and
after.
The installation file for OpenWRT is a *squashfs-factory.bin file that
contains the kernel and a ubi partition. This is flashed as follows:
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=1
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
dd if=factory.bin bs=1M count=4 | mtd write - kernel1
dd if=factory.bin bs=1M skip=4 | mtd write - rootfs0
reboot
Reverting to stock:
The part of stock firmware we've kept in kernel0 allows us to run stock
recovery, which will re-flash stock firmware from a *.bin file on a USB.
For this we do the following:
fw_setenv flag_try_sys1_failed 0
fw_setenv flag_try_sys2_failed 1
reboot
After reboot the LED status light will blink red, at which point pressing
the 'reset' button will cause stock firmware to be installed from USB.
Issues:
OpenWRT currently does not have support for the MT7615 wifi chips. There is
ongoing work to add mt7615 support to the open source mt76 driver. Until that
support is in place, there are closed-source kernel modules that can be used.

OpenWrt is preinstalled from factory. To install use <your-image>-sysupgade.bin
using the web interface or with sysupgrade -n.
Flash from bootloader (in case failsafe does not work)
1. Connect the LibreRouter with a serial adapter (TTL voltage) to the UART
header in the board.
2. Connect an ETH cable and configure static ip addres 192.168.1.10/24
3. Turn on the device and stop the bootloader sending any key through the serial
interface.
4. Use a TFTP server to serve <your image>-sysupgrade.bin file.
5. Execute the following commands at the bootloader prompt:
ath> tftp 82000000 <your image>-sysupgrade.bin
ath> erase 0x9f050000 +$filesize
ath> cp.b 0x82000000 0x9f050000 $filesize
ath> bootm 0x9f050000

This commit adds support for the Linksys EA6350v3 device in the ipq40xx
target.
This is needed for uboot-envtools to access the environment. Without this
patch, the Linksys EA6350v3 will not be able to access the uboot
environment. As a side effect, the feature auto_recovery will make the
device unstable by switching between the latest and the current firmware.

Installation
------------
1. Download initrams kernel image, dtb binary and sysupgrade image.
2. Place initramfs kernel into tftp root directory. Rename to
"panda-uimage-factory".
3. Place dtb binary into tftp root directory. Rename to "panda.fdt".
4. Start tftp server on 192.168.100.8/24.
5. Power up the device with the reset button pressed. It will download
the initrams and dtb via tftp and boot into OpenWRT in RAM.
6. SSH into the device and remove the factory partitions.
> ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 --name=kernel1
> ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 --name=rootfs1
> ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 --name=devicetree1
You will have around 60 MiB of free space with that.
You can also delete "kernel2", "devicetree2", "rootfs2" and "storage"
respectively in case you do not want to go back to the vendor firmware.
7. Modify the U-Boot bootcmd to allow for booting OpenWRT
> fw_setenv bootcmd_owrt "ubi part ubi && ubi read 0x1000000 kernel
&& bootm 0x1000000"
> fw_setenv bootargs_owrt "setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200
ubi.mtd=3,2048"
> fw_setenv bootcmd "run bootargs_owrt; run bootcmd_owrt"
8. Transfer the sysupgrade image via scp into the /tmp directory.
9. Upgrade the device
> sysupgrade -n /tmp/<imagename>
