Back in the AR71XX days, the lzma-loader code could be customized
based on the $BOARD variable. These would be passed as a
compile-time -DCONFIG_BOARD_$DEVICE_MODEL flag to the compiler.
Hence, the lzma-loader would be able to include device-specific
fixups.
Note: There's still a fixup for the TpLink TL-WR1043ND V1 found
in the lzma-loader's board.c code. But since the days of AR71XX
I couldn't find a forum post or bug reported. So, I left it
as is to not break anything by enabling it.
=> If you have a TL-WR1043ND V1 and you have problem with
the ethernet: let me know. Because otherwise, the fixup
might simply no longer needed with ath79 and it can be removed.

The MX60's kernel is limited to 0x3EFC00 by the values in
mkmerakifw.c. Since the initramfs method of loading the
kernel seems to be working, this patch does away with the
use of the mkmerakifw tool for the MX60(W).
But this will go along with a change in u-boot as well.
So before you upgrade, please attach the serial cable and
perform:
| setenv owrt510_boot run meraki_ubi owrt_bootargs\; run owrt_load1 owrt_bootkernel\; run owrt_load2 owrt_bootkernel
| setenv bootcmd run owrt510_boot
| saveenv
Note: You won't be able to use older OpenWrt releases without
switching the bootcmd back to owrt_boot!
Note2: We are no longer compatible with older OpenWrt MX60 installs.
the legacy BOARD_NAME and SUPPORTED_DEVICES can be dropped. This is
because upgrades from older images are not possible without uboot env
changes anymore. Also the bogus BLOCKSIZE value
(which was set to 63k back then, in order to get the kernel properly
aligned after the fdt + meraki header) can be set to the NANDs real
value. The FDT size (which was needed for alignment) can now be
slimmed down as well.

from the previous OpenWrt 19.07.

This extract clearly showed that the HDD on which OpenWrt is installed,
simply disappeared after the SATA power regulators had been initialized.
The reason why this worked with OpenWrt 19.07 was because the kernel
config symbol CONFIG_REGULATOR=y was not set in the target's config-4.14.
(This shows that the MBL Single does differ from the DUO in that
it does not have programmable power regulators for the HDDs.)

This patch removes CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_4K_SECTORS from the default
symbols for the ath79/mikrotik target.
MikroTik devices hold some of their user-configurable settings in the
soft_config partition, which is typically sized 4 KiB, of the SPI NOR
flash memory. Previously, in the ar71xx target, it was possible to use
64 KiB erase sectors but also smaller 4 KiB ones when needed. This is
no longer the case in ath79 with newer kernels so, to be able to write
to these 4 KiB small partitions without erasing 60 KiB around, the
CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_4K_SECTORS symbol was added to the defaults.
However, this ended up making sysupgrade images which were built with
64 KiB size blocks not to keep settings (e.g., the files under
/etc/config/) over the flashing process.
Using 4 KiB erase sector size on the sysupgrade images (by setting
BLOCKSIZE = 4k) allows keeping settings over a flashing process, but
renders the process terribly slow, possibly causing a user to
mistakenly force a manual device reboot while the process is still on-
going. Instead, ditching the 4 KiB erase sectors for the default
64 KiB erase size provides normal SPI write speed and sysupgrade times,
at the expense of not being able to modify the soft_config partition
(which is rarely a required thing).
An OpenWrt patch for MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_4K_SECTORS_LIMIT may once have
allowed to use different per-partition erase sector sizes. Due to
changes on recent kernels it now only works on a per-device basis.
Also, partial eraseblock write can be performed in ath79 with kernels
5.4 and lower, by copying the blocks from the 64 KiB, erasing the whole
sector and restoring those blocks not meant to be modified. A kernel
bump had that patch broken for a long time, but got fixed in bf2870c.
Note: the settings in the soft_config partition can be reset to their
defaults by holding the reset button for 5 seconds (and less than 10
seconds) at device boot.

In the "ipq40xx: switch to Kernel 5.10" discussion at GitHub,
Adrian noted [0] that these GL.iNet Conexa series devices,
GL-B1300 and GL-S1300 failed their image generation [1] as their gzipped
uImage kernel went above 4096k.
While notifying the vendor about this problem [2], I tested all U-Boot
releases from GL.iNet:
- they really fail to boot kernel above 4096k
- they don't support lzma: "Unimplemented compression type 3"
- but they boot zImage
Using zImage (xz compression) the kernel is 2909k which is
more than a megabyte away from the KERNEL_SIZE := 4096k limit.
The gzip compressed version would be 4116k.

This commit will add support for the Meraki MX100 in OpenWRT.
Specs:
* CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1200 Series 1.5GHz 2C/4T
* Memory: 4GB DDR3 1600 ECC
* Storage: 1GB USB NAND, 1TB SATA HDD
* Wireless: None
* Wired: 10x 1Gb RJ45, 2x 1Gb SFP
UART:
The UART header is named CONN11 and is found in the
center of the mainboard. The pinout from Pin 1 (marked
with a black triangle) to pin 4 is below:
Pin 1: VCC
Pin 2: TX
Pin 3: RX
Pin 4: GND
Note that VCC is not required for UART on this device.
Booting:
1. Flash/burn one of the images from this repo to a
flash drive.
2. Take the top off the MX100, and unplug the SATA
cable from the HDD.
3. Hook up UART to the MX100, plug in the USB drive,
and then power up the device.
4. At the BIOS prompt, quickly press F7 and then
scroll to the Save & Exit tab.
5. Scroll down to Boot Override, and select the
UEFI entry for your jumpdrive.
Note: UEFI booting will fail if the SATA cable for
the HDD is plugged in.
The issue is explained under the Flashing instructions.
Flashing:
1. Ensure the MX100 is powered down, and not plugged
into power.
2. Take the top off the MX100, and unplug the SATA
cable from the HDD.
3. Using the Mini USB female port found by the SATA
port on the motherboard,
flash one of the images to the system. Example:
`dd if=image of=/dev/sdb conv=fdatasync` where sdb
is the USB device for the MX100's NAND.
4. Unplug the Mini USB, hook up UART to the MX100,
and then power up the device.
5. At the BIOS prompt, quickly press F7 and then
scroll to the Boot tab.
6. Change the boot order and set UEFI: USB DISK 2.0
as first, and USB DISK 2.0 as second.
Disable the other boot options.
7. Go to Save & Exit, and then select Save Changes and
Reset
Note that OpenWRT will fail to boot in UEFI mode when
the SATA hard drive is plugged in. To fix this, boot
with the SATA disk unplugged and then run the following
command:
`sed -i "s|hd0,gpt1|hd1,gpt1|g" boot/grub/grub.cfg`
Once the above is ran, OpenWRT will boot when the HDD
is plugged into SATA. The reason this happens is the
UEFI implementation for the MX100 will always set
anything on SATA to HD0 instead of the onboard USB
storage, so we have to accomidate it since OpenWRT's
GRUB does not support detecting a boot disk via UUID.

try to reduce the kernel size by disabling and moving
options from the common kernel configuration to the
SATA target that doesn't have the constraints.
For NAND this has become necessary because as with 5.10
some devices outgrew their kernels. Though, in my tests
this didn't help much: just a smidgen over 100kib was
saved on the uncompressed kernel.
... running make kernel_oldconfig also removed some
other config symbols, mostly those that already set
from elsewhere or became obsolete in the meantime.

Due to 5.10 increased kernel size, the current 4MiB-ish kernel
partition got too small. Luckily, netgear's uboot environment
is setup to read 0x60000 bytes from the kernel partition location.
... While at it: also do some cleanups in the DTS in there.
The original (re-)installation described in
commit d82d84694e ("apm821xx: add support for the Netgear WNDAP620 and WNDAP660")
seemed to be still working for now. What I noticed though
is that the bigger initramfs images needed to use a different
destination address (1000000) to prevent it overwriting
itself during decompression. i.e:
# tftp 1000000 openwrt-...-wndap620-initramfs-kernel.bin
# bootm
However, in case of the WNDAP620+660 the factory.img image can be
written directly to the flash through uboot.
