1x 2.5Gbps (rtl8221b)
1x 1Gbps (integrated phy)
WiFi: 2x2 MT7981
Buttons: Reset, WPS
LED: 1x multicolor
Solder on UART:
- remove rubber ring on the bottom
- remove screws
- pull up the cylinder, maybe help by push on an ethernet socket with a screwdriver
- remove the (3) screws holding the board in the frame
- remove the board from the frame to get to the screws for the silver, flat heat shield
- remove the (3) screws holding the heat shield
- solder UART pins to the back of the board
- make sure to have the pins point out on side with the black, finned heat spread
- the markings for the pins are going to be below the silver heat shield
- Vcc is not needed
If you don't intend on using the UART outside of the installation process, you might not
want to solder:
- carefully scrape off the thin layer of epoxy on the holes (not the copper)
- place your pin header with the UART attached in the holes
- the pins, starting with the one closest to the socket:
- Vcc (not required)
- GND
- RX
- TX
- either wedge the header or hold it with your fingers so that the pins stay in contact with the board
Installation (UART):
- attach an Ethernet cable to the 1Gbps port (black) on the router
- hold the reset button while powering the router
- press CTRL-C or wait for the timeout to get to the U-Boot prompt
- prepare a TFTP server on the network to supply ..-initramfs-kernel.bin
- use 'tftpboot' in the U-Boot shell to pull the image
- boot the image using 'bootm'
- push the ..-sysupgrade to the router using your preferred method
- perform the upgrade with 'sysupgrade -n'
There is a recovery mechanism that involves fetching a file called 'recovery.bin' but that is not understood yet.

Installation:
The installation must be done via TFTP by disassembling the router. On other occasions Cudy has distributed intermediate firmware to make installation easier, and so I recommend checking the Wiki for this device if there is a more convenient solution than the one below.
To install using TFTP:
1. Connect to UART.
2. With the router off, press the RESET button. While the router is turning on, the button should continue to be pressed for at least 5 seconds.
3. A u-boot shell will automatically open.
4. Connect to LAN and set your IP to 192.168.1.88/24. Configure a TFTP server and an OpenWrt initramfs-kernel.bin firmware file.
5. Run these steps in u-boot using the name of your file.
setenv bootfile initramfs-kernel.bin
tftpboot
bootm
6. If you can reach LuCI or SSH now, just use the sysupgrade image with the 'Keep settings' option turned off.

This adds support for the bpi-r4 variant with internal 2.5G PHY and
additional ethernet port instead of second sfp.
Signed-off-by: Martin Schiller <ms@dev.tdt.de>
Despite coming with multiple I2C EEPROMs supposedly dedicated for that
purpose, the BPi-R4 does not seem to have factory assigned MAC addresses.
Hence, just like for all other BPi boards, store a randomly generated
MAC address on first boot and derive WAN and Wi-Fi MAC addresses from
that as well. Not perfect, but better than random on every boot.

Specification:
- MT7981 CPU using 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi (both AX)
- MT7531 switch
- 512MB RAM
- 128MB NAND flash with two UBI partitions with identical size
- 1 multi color LED (red, green, blue, white) connected via GCA230718
- 3 buttons (WPS, reset, LED on/off)
- 1 1Gbit WAN port
- 4 1Gbit LAN ports
Disassembly:
- There are four screws at the bottom: 2 under the rubber feets, 2 under the label.
- After removing the screws, the white plastic part can be shifted out of the blue part.
- Be careful because the antennas are mounted on the side and the top of the white part.
Serial Interface
- The serial interface can be connected to the 4 pin holes on the side of the board.
- Pins (from front to rear):
- 3.3V
- RX
- TX
- GND
- Settings: 115200, 8N1
MAC addresses:
- WAN MAC is stored in partition "Odm" at offset 0x81
- LAN (as printed on the device) is WAN MAC + 1
- WLAN MAC (2.4 GHz) is WAN MAC + 2
- WLAN MAC (5GHz) is WAN MAC + 3
Flashing via Recovery Web Interface:
- The recovery web interface always flashes to the currently active partition.
- If OpenWrt is flahsed to the second partition, it will not boot.
- Ensure that you have an OEM image available (encrypted and decrypted version). Decryption is described in the end.
- Set your IP address to 192.168.200.10, subnetmask 255.255.255.0
- Press the reset button while powering on the device
- Keep the reset button pressed until the LED blinks red
- Open a Chromium based and goto http://192.168.200.1 (recovery web interface)
- Download openwrt-mediatek-filogic-dlink_aquila-pro-ai-m30-a1-squashfs-recovery.bin
- The recovery web interface always reports successful flashing, even if it fails
- After flashing, the recovery web interface will try to forward the browser to 192.168.0.1 (can be ignored)
- If OpenWrt was flashed to the first partition, OpenWrt will boot (The status LED will start blinking white and stay white in the end). In this case you're done and can use OpenWrt.
- If OpenWrt was flashed to the second partition, OpenWrt won't boot (The status LED will stay red forever). In this case, the following steps are reuqired:
- Start the web recovery interface again and flash the **decrypted OEM image**. This will be flashed to the second partition as well. The OEM firmware web interface is afterwards accessible via http://192.168.200.1.
- Now flash the **encrypted OEM image** via OEM firmware web interface. In this case, the new firmware is flashed to the first partition. After flashing and the following reboot, the OEM firmware web interface should still be accessible via http://192.168.200.1.
- Start the web recovery interface again and flash the OpenWrt recovery image. Now it will be flashed to the first partition, OpenWrt will boot correctly afterwards and is accessible via 192.168.1.1.
Flashing via U-Boot:
- Open the case, connect to the UART console
- Set your IP address to 192.168.200.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Connect to one of the LAN interfaces of the router
- Run a tftp server which provides openwrt-mediatek-filogic-dlink_aquila-pro-ai-m30-a1-initramfs-kernel.bin.
- Power on the device and select "7. Load image" in the U-Boot menu
- Enter image file, tftp server IP and device IP (if they differ from the default).
- TFTP download to RAM will start. After a few seconds OpenWrt initramfs should start
- The initramfs is accessible via 192.168.1.1, change your IP address accordingly (or use multiple IP addresses on your interface)
- Perform a sysupgrade using openwrt-mediatek-filogic-dlink_aquila-pro-ai-m30-a1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
- Reboot the device. OpenWrt should start from flash now
Revert back to stock using the Recovery Web Interface:
- Set your IP address to 192.168.200.2, subnetmask 255.255.255.0
- Press the reset button while powering on the device
- Keep the reset button pressed until the LED blinks red
- Open a Chromium based and goto http://192.168.200.1 (recovery web interface)
- Flash a decrypted firmware image from D-Link. Decrypting an firmware image is described below.
Decrypting a D-Link firmware image:
- Download https://github.com/RolandoMagico/firmware-utils/blob/M32/src/m32-firmware-util.c
- Compile a binary from the downloaded file, e.g. gcc m32-firmware-util.c -lcrypto -o m32-firmware-util
- Run ./m32-firmware-util M30 --DecryptFactoryImage <OriginalFirmware> <OutputFile>
- Example for firmware M30A1_FW101B05: ./m32-firmware-util M30 --DecryptFactoryImage M30A1_FW101B05\(0725091522\).bin M30A1_FW101B05\(0725091522\)_decrypted.bin
Flashing via OEM web interface is not possible, as it will change the active partition and OpenWrt is only running on the first UBI partition.
Controlling the LEDs:
- The LEDs are controlled by a chip called "GCA230718" which is connected to the main CPU via I2C (address 0x40)
- I didn't find any documentation or driver for it, so the information below is purely based on my investigations
- If there is already I driver for it, please tell me. Maybe I didn't search enough
- I implemented a kernel module (leds-gca230718) to access the LEDs via DTS
- The LED controller supports PWM for brightness control and ramp control for smooth blinking. This is not implemented in the driver
- The LED controller supports toggling (on -> off -> on -> off) where the brightness of the LEDs can be set individually for each on cycle
- Until now, only simple active/inactive control is implemented (like when the LEDs would have been connected via GPIO)
- Controlling the LEDs requires three sequences sent to the chip. Each sequence consists of
- A reset command (0x81 0xE4) written to register 0x00
- A control command (for example 0x0C 0x02 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xFF 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xFF 0x87 written to register 0x03)
- The reset command is always the same
- In the control command
- byte 0 is always the same
- byte 1 (0x02 in the example above) must be changed in every sequence: 0x02 -> 0x01 -> 0x03)
- byte 2 is set to 0x01 which disables toggling. 0x02 would be LED toggling without ramp control, 0x03 would be toggling with ramp control
- byte 3 to 6 define the brightness values for the LEDs (R,G,B,W) for the first on cycle when toggling
- byte 7 defines the toggling frequency (if toggling enabled)
- byte 8 to 11 define the brightness values for the LEDs (R,G,B,W) for the second on cycle when toggling
- byte 12 is constant 0x87
Comparison to M32/R32:
- The algorithms for decrypting the OEM firmware are the same for M30/M32/R32, only the keys differ
- The keys are available in the GPL sources for the M32
- The M32/R32 contained raw data in the firmware images (kernel, rootfs), the R30 uses a sysupgrade tar instead
- Creation of the recovery image is quite similar, only the header start string changes. So mostly takeover from M32/R32 for that.
- Turned out that the bytes at offset 0x0E and 0x0F in the recovery image header are the checksum over the data area
- This checksum was not checked in the recovery web interface of M32/R32 devices, but is now active in R30
- I adapted the recovery image creation to also calculate the checksum over the data area
- The recovery image header for M30 contains addresses which don't match the memory layout in the DTS. The same addresses are also present in the OEM images
- The recovery web interface either calculates the correct addresses from it or has it's own logic to determine where which information must be written

The flash procedure is similar to the Xiaomi AX6000 router.
Load openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb from original Zyxel U-Boot:
tftpboot openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb
bootm 0x46000000
Load mtd-rw
insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/mtd-rw.ko i_want_a_brick=1
Format ubi and create ubootenv partitions

ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 0 -N ubootenv -s 128KiB
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 1 -N ubootenv2 -s 128KiB
Copy openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb to /tmp and create recovery partition.
If your recovery image is larger than 10MiB, size the recovery partition accordingly to make it fit.
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 2 -N recovery -s 10MiB
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_2 openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb
Copy preloader and uboot to /tmp and write them in the mtd
mtd write /tmp/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-preloader.bin bl2
mtd write /tmp/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-bl31-uboot.fip fip
Now write the firmware:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb
To create a correct BL2, I had to add a profile for 'spim:4k+256' as I could not find a way to value the variable 'NAND_TYPE'.
Features and fixes from hitech95 tree has been squashed, I'm attaching his commit message:
The Power LED was not working correctly and not reacting
to the boot process and statuses.
The board has space (footprint) for an unpopulated Zigbee chip,
while we dont know the device model having this chip populated
we have to assure that the common dts doesnt enable
interfaces that share pins with such device.
In this instance the PCIe and the uart1 and uart2 are disabled.
Some of the control PCIE pins seems to be used for the Zigbee chip,
UART1 seems to be used as a flash port while UART2 should be the
main comunication interface of Zigbee chip.
The Zigbee chip should be a EFR32MG21. But the pins used for UART
seems to be not on standard PINS used by other adapters.
So it cannot run firmwares shared on the web.
But it should be possible to build a custom firmware with
the corrtect pinmux.
This commit also contains the following squashed commit from hitech95
- mediatek: fix sysupgrade for Zyxel EX7601-T0 ubootmod
Changes and fixes added in common board:
- added aliases for boot status leds.
- added aliases for the mac-label-device.
- added pin claims for core features (MDIO and UART 0)
- added default LEDs configuration (01_leds)
- added default network configuration (02_network)
- added missing kmod-usb3 module for USB3
- fixed LED names
- fixed reset pin for SLIC chip
- removed unused pinmux configurations and devices
- fix LAN (switch) port numbering
- using nvmem cells for wifi eeprom, dropping deprecated "mediatek,mtd-eeprom"
- proper factory partition and mac address handling
- cleaned up spi_nand sections and partition
Changes and fixxes added in stock layout:
- added NMBM, if u-boot has it, the kernel must be informed.

6. After openwrt boots up, perform sysupgrade.
Note:
1. Since NMBM is disabled, we must back up all partitions.
2. Although we can upgrade new firmware in the stock firmware,
we need the special fit image signature of MediaTek and
dual boot (hack kernel) to make u-boot boot it. So just
abandon these hacks and flash it via the serial port.

Installation Web-UI
-------------------
Upload the Factory image using the devices Web-Interface.
As the device uses a dual-image partition layout, OpenWrt can only
installed on Slot A. This requires the current active image prior
flashing the device to be on Slot B.
In case this is not the case, OpenWrt will boot only one time, returning
to the ZyXEL firmware the second boot.
If this happens, first install a ZyXEL firmware upgrade of any version
and install OpenWrt after that.
Installation TFTP / Recovery
----------------------------
This installation routine is especially useful in case of a bricked
device.
Attach to the UART console header of the device. Interrupt the boot
procedure by pressing Enter.
The bootloader has a reduced command-set available from CLI, but more
commands can be executed by abusing the atns command.
Boot a OpenWrt initramfs image available on a TFTP server at
192.168.1.66. Rename the image to nwa50axpro-openwrt-initramfs.bin.
$ atnf nwa50axpro-openwrt-initramfs.bin
$ atna 192.168.1.88
$ atns "192.168.1.66; tftpboot; setenv fdt_high 0xffffffffffffffff;
bootm"
Upon booting, set the booted image to the correct slot:
$ zyxel-bootconfig /dev/mtd9 get-status
$ zyxel-bootconfig /dev/mtd9 set-image-status 0 valid
$ zyxel-bootconfig /dev/mtd9 set-active-image 0
Copy the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the device using scp.
Write the sysupgrade image to NAND using sysupgrade.

8 Upload OpenWrt "initramfs-kernel.bin" to the "/tmp" folder of the
router (e.g., using WinSCP and SSH settings from the p.1)
9. Stock busybox doesn't contain ubiupdatevol command. Hence, we need to
download and upload the full version of busybox to the router. For
example, from here:
https://github.com/xerta555/Busybox-Binaries/raw/master/busybox-arm64
Upload busybox-arm64 to the /tmp dir of the router and run:
in the telnet shell:
cd /tmp
chmod a+x busybox-arm64
10. Check "initramfs-kernel.bin" size:
du -h initramfs-kernel.bin
11. Delete old and create new "kernel" volume with appropriate size
(greater than "initramfs-kernel.bin" size):
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 1 -N kernel -s 9MiB
12. Write OpenWrt "initramfs-kernel.bin" to the flash:
./busybox-arm64 ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_1 /tmp/initramfs-kernel.bin
13. u-boot-env can be empty so lets create it (or overwrite it if it
already exists) with the necessary values:
fw_setenv baudrate 115200
fw_setenv bootargs "ubi.mtd=ubi0 console=ttyS0,115200n1 loglevel=8 earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0x11002000 init=/etc/preinit"

fw_setenv mtdparts "spi-nand0:2M(boot),1M(u-boot-env),50M(ubi0),50M(ubi1),8M(userconfig),4M(tp_data)"
fw_setenv netmask 255.255.255.0
fw_setenv serverip 192.168.1.2
fw_setenv stderr serial@11002000
fw_setenv stdin serial@11002000
fw_setenv stdout serial@11002000
fw_setenv tp_boot_idx 0
14. Reboot to OpenWrt initramfs:
reboot
15. Login as root via SSH (IP 192.168.1.1, port 22)
16. Upload OpenWrt sysupgrade.bin image to the /tmp dir of the router
17. Run sysupgrade:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/sysupgrade.bin

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
