MikroTik RB951G-2HnD is a wireless SOHO router that was previously
supported by the ar71xx target, see commit 7a709573d7 ("ar71xx: add
kernel support for the Mikrotik RB951G board").
Specifications
--------------
- SoC: Atheros AR9344 (600 MHz)
- RAM: 128 MB (2x 64 MB)
- Storage: 128 MB NAND flash (various manufacturers)
- Ethernet: Atheros AR8327 switch, 5x 10/100/1000 Mbit/s
- 1x PoE in (port 1, 8-30 V input)
- Wireless: Atheros AR9340 (802.11b/g/n)
- USB: 2.0 (1A)
- 8x LED:
- 1x power (green, not configurable)
- 1x user (green, not configurable)
- 5x GE ports (green, not configurable)
- 1x wireless (green, not configurable)
- 1x button (restart)
Unlike on the RB951Ui-2HnD, none of the LEDs on this device seem to be
GPIO-controllable, which was also the case for older OpenWRT versions
that supported this board via a mach file. The Ethernet port LEDs are
controlled by the switch chip.
See https://mikrotik.com/product/RB951G-2HnD for more details.
Flashing
--------
TFTP boot initramfs image and then perform sysupgrade. Follow
common MikroTik procedures at https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/common.

Instead of erasing the entire NAND partition holding the kernel during
every system upgrade and then flashing a Yaffs file system image
prepared using kernel2minor (not accounting for bad blocks in the
process), use the Yafut utility to replace the kernel executable on
MikroTik NAND devices, preserving the existing Yaffs file system
(including bad block information) on the partition holding the kernel.
Add Yafut to DEFAULT_PACKAGES for the ath79/mikrotik target, so that the
tool is included in the initramfs images created when building for
multiple profiles. However, exclude Yafut from the images built for
MikroTik devices with NOR flash as the tool is currently only meant to
be used on devices with NAND flash.
As this addresses the concerns for MikroTik NAND devices discussed in
commit 9d96b6fb72 ("ath79/mikrotik: disable building NAND images"),
re-enable building images for these devices.

The ramdisk used by sysupgrade on MikroTik devices currently includes
U-Boot fw_* files that are not necessary for performing a system upgrade
on that platform. The relevant lines were added to
target/linux/ath79/mikrotik/base-files/lib/upgrade/platform.sh by commit
a66eee6336 ("ath79: add mikrotik subtarget"), likely because they also
existed in target/linux/ath79/nand/base-files/lib/upgrade/platform.sh,
where the platform_do_upgrade_mikrotik_nand() function moved by commit
a66eee6336 originally lived. However, these lines were added to
target/linux/ath79/nand/base-files/lib/upgrade/platform.sh by commit
55e6c903ae ("ath79: GL-AR300M: provide NAND support; increase to 4 MB
kernel"), which is not related to MikroTik devices in any way.
Remove the code adding unused U-Boot fw_* files to the ramdisk used by
sysupgrade on MikroTik devices.

This also supports the 5GHz flavour of the board.
Hardware:
* SoC: Atheros AR9342,
* RAM: DDR 64MB,
* SPI NOR: 64KB,
* NAND: 128MB,
* Ethernet: x1 10/100/1000 port with passive POE in,
* Wi-Fi: 802.11 b/g/n,
* PCIe,
* USB: 2.0 EHCI controller, connected to mPCIe slot and a Type-A
port -- both can be used for LTE modem, but only one can be
used at any time.
* LEDs: 5 general purpose LEDs (led1..led5), power LED, user LED,
Ethernet phy LED,
* Button,
* Beeper.
Not working:
* Button: it shares gpio line 15 with NAND ALE and NAND IO7,
and current drivers doesn't easily support this configuration,
* Beeper: it is connected to bit 5 of a serial shift register
(tested with sysfs led trigger timer). But kmod-gpio-beeper
doesn't work -- we left this as is for now.
Flashing:
* Use the RouterBOARD Reset button to enable TFTP netboot,
boot kernel and initramfs and then perform sysupgrade.
* From ar71xx OpenWrt firmware run:
$ sysupgrade -F /tmp/<sysupgrade.bin>

Commit "initramfs: switch to tmpfs to fix ujail" switched initramfs to
now use tmpfs, it causes $(rootfs_type) to now return tmpfs when
running initramfs image instead of being empty.
This broke initramfs detection which is required so that when installing
on MikroTik devices firmware partition would first get erased fully
before writing.
So, lets test for $(rootfs_type) returning "tmpfs" instead.

On Mikrotik SPI NOR devices, the firmware partition must be erased when
flashing from stock firmware, otherwise leftover bits (in particular a
kernel signature) can trigger a boot loop.
When booted from initramfs (the only way to install OpenWRT on these
devices), this patch unconditionally erases the firmware partition in
the do_upgrade() stage for all supported SPI NOR devices.

The MikroTik SXT Lite5 (product code RBSXT5nDr2, also SXT 5nD r2) is
an outdoor 5GHz CPE with a 16 dBi integrated antenna built around the
Atheros AR9344 SoC. It is based on the "sxt5n" board platform.
Specifications:
- SoC: Atheros AR9344
- RAM: 64 MB
- Storage: 128 MB NAND
- Wireless: Atheros AR9340 (SoC) 802.11a/n 2x2:2
- Ethernet: Atheros AR8229 switch (SoC), 1x 10/100 port,
8-32 Vdc PoE in
- 6 user-controllable LEDs:
· 1x power (blue)
· 1x wlan (green)
· 4x rssi (green)
- 1 GPIO-controlled buzzer
See https://mikrotik.com/product/RBSXT5nDr2 for more details.
Notes:
The device was already supported in the ar71xx target. There, the
Ethernet port was handled by GMAC1. Here in ath79 it is handled by
GMAC0, which allows to get link information (loss, speed, duplex) on
the eth0 interface.
Flashing:
TFTP boot initramfs image and then perform sysupgrade. Follow common
MikroTik procedure as in https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/common.

So far, specifying "BOARD_NAME := routerboard" is required by the
upgrade code of Mikrotik NAND devices, as "sysupgrade-routerboard"
is hardcoded in platform_do_upgrade_mikrotik_nand().
This patch replaces the latter with a grep for the name like it
is already done in nand_upgrade_tar() in /lib/upgrade/nand.sh.
By that, BOARD_NAME is obsolete now for this device.

This commit creates the ath79/mikrotik subtarget in order to support
MikroTik devices based on Qualcomm Atheros MIPS SoCs.
MikroTik devices need a couple of specific features: the split MiNOR
firmware MTD format, which is not used by other devices, and the 4k
sector erase size on SPI NOR storage, which can not be added to the
ath79/generic and ath79/nand subtargets now.
Additionally, the commit moves the two MikroTik devices already in
the generic and nand subtargets to this new one.
Tested on the RB922 board and the wAP AC router.
