This drops the shebang from all target files for /lib and
/etc/uci-defaults folders, as these are sourced and the shebang
is useless.
While at it, fix the executable flag on a few of these files.
This does not touch ar71xx, as this target is just used for
backporting now and applying cosmetic changes would just complicate
things.

1. Load Ramdisk via U-Boot
To set up the flash memory environment, do the following:
a. As a preliminary step, ensure that the board console port is connected to the PC using these RS232 parameters:
* 115200bps
* 8N1
b. Confirm that the PC is connected to the board using one of the Ethernet ports.
c. Set a static ip 192.168.99.8 for Ethernet that connects to board.
d. The PC must have a TFTP server launched and listening on the interface to which the board is connected.
e. At this stage power up the board and, after a few seconds, press 4 and then any key during the countdown.

* Reset Button (See note below)
Implementation notes:
* The shared WPS/Reset button is implemented as a Reset button
* I could not find a original firmware image to reverse engineer, meaning
currently it's not possible to flash OpenWrt through the Web GUI.
Installation (Through Serial console & TFTP):
1. Set your PC to fixed IP 192.168.1.12, Netmask 255.255.255.0, and connect to
one of the LAN ports
2. Rename the initramfs image to 'C0A8010B.img' and enable a TFTP server on
your pc, to serve the image
2. Connect to the router through serial (See connection properties above)
3. Hit a key during startup, to pause startup
4. type `setenv serverip 192.168.1.12`, to set the tftp server address
5. type `tftpboot`, to load the image from the laptop through tftp
6. type `bootm` to run the loaded image from memory
6. (If you want to return to stock firmware later, create an full MTD backup,
e.g. using instructions here https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/generic.backup#create_full_mtd_backup)
7. Transfer the 'sysupgrade' OpenWrt firmware image from PC to router, e.g.:
`scp xxx-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/upgrade.bin`
8. Run sysupgrade to permanently install OpenWrt to flash: `sysupgrade -n /tmp/upgrade.bin`
Revert to stock:
To revert to stock, you need the MTD backup from step 6 above:
1. Unpack the MTD backup archive
2. Transfer the 'firmware' partition image to the router (e.g. mtd8_firmware.backup)
3. On the router, do `mtd write mtd8_firmware.backup firmware`

To connect to the serial console, you can solder to the labled pads next
to the USB port or use your Aruba supplied UARt adapter.
Do NOT plug a standard USB cable into the Console labled USB-port!
Aruba/HPE simply put UART on the micro-USB pins. You can solder yourself
an adapter cable:
VCC - NC
D+ - TX
D- - RX
GND - GND
The console setting in bootloader and OS is 9600 8N1. Voltage level is
3.3V.
To enable a full list of commands in the U-Boot "help" command, execute
the literal "diag" command.
Installation
------------
1. Get the OpenWrt initramfs image. Rename it to ipq40xx.ari and put it
into the TFTP server root directory. Configure the TFTP server to
be reachable at 192.168.1.75/24. Connect the machine running the TFTP
server to the ethernet port of the access point.
2. Connect to the serial console. Interrupt autobooting by pressing
Enter when prompted.
3. Configure the bootargs and bootcmd for OpenWrt.
$ setenv bootargs_openwrt "setenv bootargs console=ttyMSM1,9600n8"
$ setenv nandboot_openwrt "run bootargs_openwrt; ubi part aos1;
ubi read 0x85000000 kernel; bootm 0x85000000"
$ setenv ramboot_openwrt "run bootargs_openwrt;
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.105; setenv serverip 192.168.1.75;
netget; set fdt_high 0x87000000; bootm"
$ setenv bootcmd "run nandboot_openwrt"
$ saveenv
4. Load OpenWrt into RAM:
$ run ramboot_openwrt
5. After OpenWrt booted, transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the
/tmp folder on the device.
6. Flash OpenWrt:
$ ubidetach -p /dev/mtd1
$ ubiformat /dev/mtd1
$ sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-sysupgrade.bin
To go back to the stock firmware, simply reset the bootcmd in the
bootloader to the original value:
$ setenv bootcmd "boot"
$ saveenv

This changes the offsets for the MAC address location in
mtd_get_mac_binary* and mtd_get_mac_text to hexadecimal notation.
This will be much clearer for the reader when numbers are big, and
will also match the style used for mtd-mac-address in DTS files.
(e.g. 0x1006 and 0x5006 are much more useful than 4102 and 20486)

"Linksys Dallas WiFi AP router based on Qualcomm AP DK07.1-c1"
Implementation Notes:
The OEM flash layout is preserved at this time with 3 MB kernel and
~69 MB UBIFS for each firmware version. The sysdiag (1 MB) and
syscfg (56 MB) partitions are untouched, available as read-only.
Serial Connectivity:
Serial connectivity is *not* required to flash.
Serial may be accessed by opening the device and connecting
a 3.3-V adapter using 115200, 8n1. U-Boot access is good,
including the ability to load images over TFTP and
either run or flash them.

1. connect the PC to any LAN-Ports
2. put the openwrt...-factory.bin (or V1.00(ABCT.X).bin for stock) file
into the tftp-server root directory and rename it to just "ras.bin".
3. power-cycle the router and hold down the the WPS button (for 30sek)
4. Wait (for a long time - the serial console provides some progress
reports. The u-boot says it best: "Please be patient".
5. Once the power LED starts to flashes slowly and the USB + WPS LEDs
flashes fast at the same time. You have to reboot the device and
it should then come right up.
Installation via Web-UI:
0. Connect a PC to the powered-on router. It will assign your PC a
IP-address via DHCP
1. Access the Web-UI at 192.168.1.1 (Default Passwort: 1234)
2. Go to the "Expert Mode"
3. Under "Maintenance", select "Firmware-Upgrade"
4. Upload the OpenWRT factory image
5. Wait for the Device to finish.
It will reboot into OpenWRT without any additional actions needed.

0. remove the four rubber feet glued on the backside
1. remove the four philips screws and pry open the top cover

Access the real u-boot shell:
ZyXEL uses a proprietary loader/shell on top of u-boot: "ZyXEL zloader v2.02"
When the device is starting up, the user can enter the the loader shell
by simply pressing a key within the 3 seconds once the following string
appears on the serial console:
| Hit any key to stop autoboot: 3
The user is then dropped to a locked shell.

WARNING: The serial port needs a TTL/RS-232 3V3 level converter!
The Serial setting is 115200-8-N-1. The board has a populated
1x4 0.1" header with half-height/low profile pins.
The pinout is: VCC (little white arrow), RX, TX, GND.
Flashing needs a serial adaptor, as well as patched ubootwrite utility
(needs Little-Endian support). And a modified u-boot (enabled Ethernet).
Meraki's original u-boot source can be found in:
<https://github.com/riptidewave93/meraki-uboot/tree/mr33-20170427>
Add images to do an installation via bootloader:
0. open up the MR33 and connect the serial console.
1. start the 2nd stage bootloader transfer from client pc:
# ubootwrite.py --write=mr33-uboot.bin
(The ubootwrite tool will interrupt the boot-process and hence
it needs to listen for cues. If the connection is bad (due to
the low-profile pins), the tool can fail multiple times and in
weird ways. If you are not sure, just use a terminal program
and see what the device is doing there.
2. power on the MR33 (with ethernet + serial cables attached)
Warning: Make sure you do this in a private LAN that has
no connection to the internet.
- let it upload the u-boot this can take 250-300 seconds -
3. use a tftp client (in binary mode!) on your PC to upload the sysupgrade.bin
(the u-boot is listening on 192.168.1.1)
# tftp 192.168.1.1
binary
put openwrt-ipq40xx-meraki_mr33-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
4. wait for it to reboot
5. connect to your MR33 via ssh on 192.168.1.1
For more detailed instructions, please take a look at the:
"Flashing Instructions for the MR33" PDF. This can be found
on the wiki: <https://openwrt.org/toh/meraki/mr33>
(A link to the mr33-uboot.bin + the modified ubootwrite is
