6 - RxD
Installation: The same methods apply as for already supported FAP-221-B.
For both methods, a backup of flash partitions is recommended, as stock firmware
is not freely available on the internet.
(a) Using factory image:
1. Connect console cable to the console port
2. Connect Ethernet interface to your PC
3. Start preferred terminal at 9600-8-N-1
4. Have a TFTP server running on the PC.
5. Put the "factory" image in TFTP root
6. Power on the device
7. Break boot sequence by pressing "Ctrl+C"
8. Press "G". The console will ask you for device IP, server IP, and filename.
Enter them appropriately.
The defaults are:
Server IP: 192.168.1.1 # Update accordingly
Device IP: 192.168.1.2 # Update accordingly
Image file: image.out # Use for example: openwrt-ath79-generic-fortinet_fap-220-b-squashfs-factory.bin
9. The device will load the firmware over TFTP, and verify it. When
verification passes, press "D" to continue installation. The device
will reboot on completion.
(b) Using initramfs + sysupgrade
1. Connect console cable to the console port
2. Connect Ethernet interface to your PC
3. Start preferred terminal at 9600-8-N-1
4. Have a TFTP server running on the PC.
5. Put the "initramfs" image in TFTP root
6. Power on the device.
7. Break boot sequence by pressing "Ctrl+C"
8. Enter hidden U-boot shell by pressing "K". The password is literal "1".
9. Load the initramfs over TFTP:
> setenv serverip 192.168.1.1 # Your PC IP
> setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.22 # Device IP, both have to share a subnet.
> tftpboot 81000000 openwrt-ath79-generic-fortinet_fap-220-b-initramfs-kernel.bin
> bootm 81000000
10. (Optional) Copy over contents of at least "fwconcat0", "loader", and "fwconcat1"
partitions, to allow restoring factory firmware in future:

and then SCP them over to safety at your PC.
11. When the device boots, copy over the sysupgrade image, and execute
normal upgrade:
# sysupgrade openwrt-ath79-generic-fortinet_fap-220-b-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Return to stock firmware:
1. Boot initramfs image as per initial installation up to point 9
2. Copy over the previously backed up contents over network
3. Write the backed up contents back:
# mtd write /tmp/mtd1_fwconcat0.bin fwconcat0
# mtd write /tmp/mtd2_loader.bin loader
# mtd write /tmp/mtd3_fwconcat1.bin fwconcat1
4. Erase the reserved partition:
# mtd erase reserved
5. Reboot the device
Quirks and known issues:
- The power LED blinking pattern is disrupted during boot, probably due
to very slow serial console, which prints a lot during boot compared
to stock FW.
- "mac-address-ascii" device tree binding cannot yet be used for address
stored in U-boot partition, because it expects the colons as delimiters,
which this address lacks. Addresses found in ART partition are used
instead.
- Due to using kmod-owl-loader, the device will lack wireless interfaces
while in initramfs, unless you compile it in.
- The device heats up A LOT on the bottom, even when idle. It even
contains a warning sticker there.
- Stock firmware uses a fully read-write filesystem for its rootfs.
- Stock firmware loads a lot of USB-serial converter drivers for use
with built-in host, probably meant for hosting modem devices.
- U-boot build of the device is stripped of all branding, despite that
evidence of it (obviously) being U-boot can be found in the binary.
- The user can break into hidden U-boot shell using key "K" after
breaking boot sequence. The password is "1" (without quotes).
- Telnet is available by default, with login "admin", without password.
The same is true for serial console, both drop straight to the Busybox
shell.
- The web interface drops to the login page again, after successfull
login.
- Whole image authentication boils down to comparing a device ID against
one stored in U-boot.
- And this device is apparently made by a security company.
Big thanks for Michael Pratt for providing support for FAP-221-B, which
shares the entirety of image configuration with this device, this saved
me a ton of work.

From the Netgear u-boot GPL code[1]. Bootloader always unconditionally
marks block 768, 1020 - 1023 as bad blocks on each boot. This may lead
to conflicts with the OpenWrt nand driver since these blocks may be good
blocks. In this case, U-boot will override the oob of these blocks so
that break the ubi volume. The system will be damaged after first reboot.
To avoid this issue, manually skip these blocks by using "mtd-concat".

In Netgear u-boot GPL code, nand devices uses this formula to locate the
rootfs offset.
offset = (((128 + KERNEL_SIZE) / BLOCK_SIZE) + 1) * BLOCK_SIZE;
Howerver, WNDR4500 source code incorrectly define the nand block size to
64k. In some cases, it causes u-boot can't get the correct rootfs offset,
which result in boot failure. This patch workaround it by padding kernel
size to (128k * n - 128 - 1). The additional char '\0' is used to ensure
the (128 + KERNEL_SIZE) can't be divided by the BLOCK_SIZE.

Following 5264296, Mirotik NAND devices now use yafut to flash the
kernel on devices. This method is incompatible with the old-style
"kernel2minor" flash mechanism.
Even though NAND images were disabled in default build since 21.02, a
user flashing a new-style image onto an old-style image would result in
in a soft-brick[1]. In order to prevent such accidental mishap,
especially as these device images will be reenabled in the upcoming
release, bump the compat version.
After the new image is flashed, the compat version can be updated:

Flashing instructions:
Depending on the installed firmware, there are vastly different
methods to flash a MR18. These have been documented on:
<https://openwrt.org/toh/meraki/mr18>
Tip:
Use an initramfs from a previous release and then use sysupgrade
to get to the later releases. This is because the initramfs can
no longer be built by the build-bots due to its size (>8 MiB).
Note on that:
Upgrades from AR71XX releases are possible, but they will
require the force sysupgrade option ( -F ).
Please backup your MR18's configuration before starting the
update. The reason here is that a lot of development happend
since AR71XX got removed, so I do advise to use the ( -n )
option for sysupgrade as well. This will cause the device
to drop the old AR71xx configuration and make a new
configurations from scratch.
Note on LEDs:
The LEDs has changed since AR71XX. The white LED is now used during
the boot and when upgrading instead of the green tricolor LED. The
technical reason is that currently the RGB-LED is brought up later
by a userspace daemon.
(added warning note about odm-caldata partition. remove initramfs -
it's too big to be built by the bots. MerakiNAND -> meraki-header.

LAN: 1x GBit LAN
LTE: ZTE MF270 (Cat4), detected as P685M
WiFi: QCA9880ac + QCA9560bgn
MAC addresses
=============
LAN: from config
WiFi 1: from config
WiFi 2: +1
Installation
============
TFTP installation using UART is preferred. Disassemble the device and
connect serial. Put the initramfs image as openwrt.bin to your TFTP server
and configure a static IP of 192.168.1.100. Load the initramfs image by
typing:
setenv serverip 192.168.1.100
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
tftpboot 0x82000000 openwrt.bin
bootm 0x82000000
From this intiramfs boot you can take a backup of the currently installed
partitions as no vendor firmware is available for download.
Once booted, transfer the sysupgrade image and run sysupgrade.
LTE Modem

As was done in commit e11d00d44c ("ath79: create Aruba AP-105 APBoot
compatible image"), alter the Aruba AP-175 image generation process so
OpenWrt can be loaded with the vendor Aruba APBoot. Since the
remainder of the explanation and installation process is identical,
continuing the quote from that commit:
This works by prepending the OpenWrt LZMA loader to the uImage and
jumping directly to the loader. Aruba does not offer bootm on these
boards.
This approach keeps compatibility to devices which had their U-Boot
replaced. Both bootloaders can boot the same image.
With this patch, new installations do not require replacing the
bootloader and can be performed from the serial console without
opening the case.
Installation
------------
1. Attach to the serial console of the AP-175.
Interrupt autoboot and change the U-Boot env.
$ setenv apb_rb_openwrt "setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1;
setenv serverip 192.168.1.66;
netget 0x84000000 ap175.bin; go 0x84000040"
$ setenv apb_fb_openwrt "cp.b 0xbf040000 0x84000000 0x10000;
go 0x84000040"
$ setenv bootcmd "run apb_fb_openwrt"
$ saveenv
2. Load the OpenWrt initramfs image on the device using TFTP.
Place the initramfs image as "ap175.bin" in the TFTP server
root directory, connect it to the AP and make the server reachable
at 192.168.1.66/24.
$ run apb_rb_openwrt
3. Once OpenWrt booted, transfer the sysupgrade image to the device
using scp and use sysupgrade to install the firmware.

===================
1. Connect serial console
2. Configure static IP to 192.168.1.112
3. Put OpenWrt factory.bin file as firmware-system.bin
4. Press Power + WPS and plug in power
5. Keep buttons pressed until TFTP requests are visible
6. Wait for the system to finish flashing and wait for reboot
7. Bootup will fail as the kernel offset is wrong
8. Run "setenv bootcmd bootm 0x9f150000"
9. Reset board and enjoy OpenWrt
Installation (without UART)
===========================
Installation without UART is a bit tricky and requires several steps too
long for the commit message. Basic steps:
1. Create configure backup
2. Patch backup file to enable SSH
3. Login via SSH and configure the new bootcmd
3. Flash OpenWrt factory.bin image manually (sysupgrade doesn't work)

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.

Alter the Aruba AP-105 image generation process so OpenWrt can be loaded
with the vendor Aruba APBoot.
This works by prepending the OpenWrt LZMA loader to the uImage and
jumping directly to the loader. Aruba does not offer bootm on these
boards.
This approach keeps compatibility to devices which had their U-Boot
replaced. Both bootloaders can boot the same image.
The same modification is most likely also possible for the Aruba AP-175.
With this patch, new installations do not require replacing the
bootloader and can be performed from the serial console without opening
the case.
Installation
------------
1. Attach to the serial console of the AP-105.
Interrupt autoboot and change the U-Boot env.
$ setenv apb_rb_openwrt "setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1;
setenv serverip 192.168.1.66;
netget 0x84000000 ap105.bin; go 0x84000040"
$ setenv apb_fb_openwrt "cp.b 0xbf040000 0x84000000 0x10000;
go 0x84000040"
$ setenv bootcmd "run apb_fb_openwrt"
$ saveenv
2. Load the OpenWrt initramfs image on the device using TFTP.
Place the initramfs image as "ap105.bin" in the TFTP server
root directory, connect it to the AP and make the server reachable
at 192.168.1.66/24.
$ run apb_rb_openwrt
3. Once OpenWrt booted, transfer the sysupgrade image to the device
using scp and use sysupgrade to install the firmware.

This board is very similar to the Aruba AP-105, but is
outdoor-first. It is very similar to the MSR2000 (though certain
MSR2000 models have a different PHY[^1]).
A U-Boot replacement is required to install OpenWrt on these
devices[^2].
Specifications
--------------
* Device: Aruba AP-175
* SoC: Atheros AR7161 680 MHz MIPS
* RAM: 128MB - 2x Mira P3S12D40ETP
* Flash: 16MB MXIC MX25L12845EMI-10G (SPI-NOR)
* WiFi: 2 x DNMA-H92 Atheros AR9220-AC1A 802.11abgn
* ETH: IC+ IP1001 Gigabit + PoE PHY
* LED: 2x int., plus 12 ext. on TCA6416 GPIO expander
* Console: CP210X linking USB-A Port to CPU console @ 115200
* RTC: DS1374C, with internal battery
* Temp: LM75 temperature sensor
Factory installation:
- Needs a u-boot replacement. The process is almost identical to that
of the AP105, except that the case is easier to open, and that you
need to compile u-boot from a slightly different branch:
https://github.com/Hurricos/u-boot-ap105/tree/ap175
The instructions for performing an in-circuit reflash with an
SPI-Flasher like a CH314A can be found on the OpenWrt Wiki
(https://openwrt.org/toh/aruba/ap-105); in addition a detailed guide
may be found on YouTube[^3].
- Once u-boot has been replaced, a USB-A-to-A cable may be used to
connect your PC to the CP210X inside the AP at 115200 baud; at this
point, the normal u-boot serial flashing procedure will work (set up
networking; tftpboot and boot an OpenWrt initramfs; sysupgrade to
OpenWrt proper.)
- There is no built-in functionality to revert back to stock firmware,
because the AP-175 has been declared by the vendor[^4] end-of-life
as of 31 Jul 2020. If for some reason you wish to return to stock
firmware, take a backup of the 16MiB flash before flashing u-boot.
