4891b86538 ramips: add support for YunCore AX820/HWAP-AX820 
There are two versions which are identical apart from the enclosure:
  YunCore AX820: indoor ceiling mount AP with integrated antennas
  YunCore HWAP-AX820: outdoor enclosure with external (N) connectors

Hardware specs:
  SoC: MediaTek MT7621DAT
  Flash: 16 MiB SPI NOR
  RAM: 128MiB (DDR3, integrated)
  WiFi: MT7905DAN+MT7975DN 2.4/5GHz 2T2R 802.11ax
  Ethernet: 10/100/1000 Mbps x2 (WAN/PoE+LAN)
  LED: Status (green)
  Button: Reset
  Power: 802.11af/at PoE; DC 12V,1A
  Antennas: AX820(indoor): 4dBi internal; HWAP-AX820(outdoor): external

Flash instructions:
  The "OpenWRT support" version of the AX820 comes with a LEDE-based
  firmware with proprietary MTK drivers and a luci webinterface and
  ssh accessible under 192.168.1.1 on LAN; user root, no password.
  The sysupgrade.bin can be flashed using luci or sysupgrade via ssh,
  you will have to force the upgrade due to a different factory name.
  Remember: Do *not* preserve factory configuration!

MAC addresses as used by OEM firmware:
  use   address            source
  2g    44:D1:FA:*:0b      Factory 0x0004 (label)
  5g    46:D1:FA:*:0b      LAA of 2g
  lan   44:D1:FA:*:0c      Factory 0xe000
  wan   44:D1:FA:*:0d      Factory 0xe000 + 1
The wan MAC can also be found in 0xe006 but is not used by OEM dtb.

Due to different MAC handling in mt76 the LAA derived from lan is used
for 2g to prevent duplicate MACs when creating multiple interfaces.

9a750aae62 ramips: add support for OrayBox X3A 
OrayBox X3A is a 2.4/5GHz dual band AC router, based on MediaTek MT7621.

Specification:
* SoC: MT7621
* RAM: DDR3 128 MiB
* Flash: 16 MiB NOR (XM25Q128)
* Wi-Fi: (single chip hosting both 2.4G and 5G)
  * 2.4GHz: MT7615
  * 5GHz: MT7615
* Ethernet: 3x 1000Mbps
  * Switch: MT7530
* LED:
  * Ethernet LEDs: On the back of the router, hardware-controlled.
  * Status LEDs: One "pixel-like" RGB LED in the front of the router,
                 which is actually made up of 3 individual LEDs (with
                 dedicated GPIO pins) with the color of Red, Green,
                 and Blue.
                 The OEM firmware only lights up one color at a time to
                 indicate status, but that's very boring, and the colors
                 actually look great when combined, so I've improvised a
                 little and made them indicate netdev activities.
                 My test results:
                 GPIO 13/14/15
                 000 white (actually more like bright green or cyan
                            because the brightness of the green LED is
                            higher than red and blue)
                 001 bright purple
                 010 bright green
                 011 red
                 100 bright cyan
                 101 blue
                 110 green
                 111 off

Installation via SSH (does not void your warranty):
1.  -----UNLOCK SSH-----
1.1 Set computer IP to DHCP mode, load 'http://10.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci' in
    your browser. Password is 'admin'.
1.2 Click the "备份且导出" (backup and export) button, and download the
    config file.
1.3 Open the downloaded file with 7zip, navigate to '/etc/config/'.
1.4 Edit the file './system'. Change the '0' into '1' under
    "config sys 'ssh'".
1.5 Save the file.
1.6 Upload the file by clicking the "导入且恢复" (import and recover)
    button. The router will automatically reboot.
2.  -----FLASH THE OPENWRT FIRMWARE-----
2.1 Use any scp tool to upload the 'sysupgrade' firmware to the '/tmp/'
    folder to your router. It should be root@10.168.1.1 and the password
    is 'admin'.
2.2 SSH into the router, also root@10.168.1.1 and the password is 'admin'.
2.3 **IMPORTANT** Type command 'dd if=/dev/mtd3 of=/tmp/firmware.bin', to
    backup the stock firmware. Since the OEM does not provide firmware
    download on their website, this is the only way to get it.
2.3 **ALSO IMPORTANT** Use any scp tool to download your backed-up stock
    firmware from '/tmp/' to your local drive. Then you'd better use a hex
    reading tool to have a rough look at it to make sure nothing is
    corrupt. Or u can just back up again and cross check the MD5.
2.4 Type command 'mtd write /tmp/XXX.bin firmware', and it should flash
    the firmware.
2.5 Verify that nothing went wrong. If you're confident, type 'reboot' and
    reboot the router.

Revert to stock firmware:
1.  load stock firmware using mtd (make sure u have a backup).

2e6d19ee32 ramips: fix wifi mac address of HiWiFi series devices 
For HiWiFi series devices, label_mac can be read from bdinfo partition,
and lan_mac, wlan2g_mac are same as the label_mac. Converting label_mac
to wlan5g_mac only needs to unset 6th bit. (It seems that all HiWiFi's
label_mac start with D4:EE)

For example:
label	D4:EE:07:32:84:88
lan	D4:EE:07:32:84:88
wan	D4:EE:07:32:84:89
wlan2g	D4:EE:07:32:84:88
wlan5g	D0:EE:07:32:84:88

Tested on HiWiFi HC5661.

Installation
------------
1. Place *factory.trx on any web server (192.168.1.2 in this example)
2. Connect to the router using telnet shell (no password required)
3. Save MAC adresses to U-Boot environment:
   uboot_env --set --name eth2macaddr --value $(ifconfig | grep eth2 | \
    awk '{print $5}')
   uboot_env --set --name eth3macaddr --value $(ifconfig | grep eth3 | \
    awk '{print $5}')
   uboot_env --set --name ra0macaddr --value $(ifconfig | grep ra0 | \
    awk '{print $5}')
   uboot_env --set --name rax0macaddr --value $(ifconfig | grep rax0 | \
    awk '{print $5}')
4. Ensure that MACs were saved correctly:
   uboot_env --get --name eth2macaddr
   uboot_env --get --name eth3macaddr
   uboot_env --get --name ra0macaddr
   uboot_env --get --name rax0macaddr
5. Download and write the OpenWrt images:
   cd /tmp
   wget http://192.168.1.2/factory.trx
   mtd_write erase /dev/mtd4
   mtd_write write factory.trx /dev/mtd4
6. Set 1st boot partition and reboot:
   uboot_env --set --name bootpartition --value 0
   reboot

Back to Stock
-------------
1. Run in the OpenWrt shell:
   fw_setenv bootpartition 1
   reboot
2. Optional step. Upgrade the stock firmware with any version to
   overwrite the OpenWrt in Slot 1.

MAC addresses

+-----------+-------------------+----------------+
| Interface | MAC               | Source         |
+-----------+-------------------+----------------+
| label     | 30:xx:xx:51:xx:09 | No MACs was    |
| LAN       | 30:xx:xx:51:xx:09 | found on Flash |

| WLAN_5g   | 32:xx:xx:41:xx:07 |                |
+-----------+-------------------+----------------+
[1]:
a. Label wasb't found neither in factory nor in other places.
b. MAC addresses are stored in encrypted partition "glbcfg". Encryption
   key hasn't known yet. To ensure the correct MACs in OpenWrt, a hack
   with saving of the MACs to u-boot-env during the installation was
   applied.
c. Default Ralink ethernet MAC address (00:0C:43:28:80:36) was found in
   "Factory" 0xfff0. It's the same for all Smartbox Flash devices. OEM
   firmware also uses this MAC when initialazes ethernet driver. In
   OpenWrt we use it only as internal GMAC (eth0), all other MACs are
   unique. Therefore, there is no any barriers to the operation of several
   Smartbox Flash devices even within the same broadcast domain.

Installation:
1. Flash initramfs image. This can be done using stock web ui or TFTP
2. Connect to OpenWrt with an SSH connection to 192.168.1.1
3. Perform sysupgrade with sysupgrade image

Revert to stock firmware:
- Flash stock firmware via OEM TFTP Recovery mode
- Perform sysupgrade with stock image

TFTP Recovery method:
1. Unplug the router
2. Hold the reset button and plug in
3. Release when the power LED stops flashing and go off
4. Set your computer IP address manually to 192.168.0.x / 255.255.255.0
5. Flash image with TFTP client to 192.168.0.1

The current MAC address assignment is still incorrect.

Use the same MAC address as seen on the stock firmware
for both wireless interfaces.

The 5GHz MAC address OUI is +2 in the first EUI octet. We currently
don't do this in OpenWrt. Ignore this offset for now. With the current

e0a574d4b7 ramips: add support for Linksys EA6350 v4 
Specifications:
- SoC: MT7621DAT (880MHz, 2 Cores)
- RAM: 128 MB
- Flash: 128 MB NAND
- Ethernet: 5x 1GiE MT7530
- WiFi: MT7603/MT7613
- USB: 1x USB 3.0

This is another MT7621 device, very similar to other Linksys EA7300
series devices.

Installation:

Upload the generated factory.bin image via the stock web firmware
updater.

Reverting to factory firmware:

Like other EA7300 devices, this device has an A/B router configuration
to prevent bricking.  Hard-resetting this device three (3) times will
put the device in failsafe (default) mode.  At this point, flash the
OEM image to itself and reboot.  This puts the router back into the 'B'
image and allows for a firmware upgrade.

Troubleshooting:

If the firmware will not boot, first restore the factory as described
above.  This will then allow the factory.bin update to be applied
properly.

RAISECOM MSG1500 X.00 is a 2.4/5 GHz band 11ac (Wi-Fi 5) router.
Apart from the general model, there are two ISP customized models:
China Mobile and China Telecom.

Specifications:

- SoC: Mediatek MT7621AT
- RAM: 256MiB DDR3
- Flash: 128MiB NAND
- Ethernet: 5 * 10/100/1000Mbps: 4 * LAN + 1 * WAN
  - Switch: MediaTek MT7530 (SoC)
- WLAN: 1 * MT7615DN Dual-Band 2.4GHz 2T2R (400Mbps) 5GHz 2T2R (867Mbps)
- USB: 1 * USB 2.0 port
- Button: 1 * RESET button, 1 * WPS button, 1 * WIFI button
- LED: blue color: POWER, WAN, WPS, 2.4G, 5G, LAN1, LAN2, LAN3, LAN4, USB
- UART: 1 * serial port header (4-pin)
- Power: DC 12V, 1A
  - Switch: 1 * POWER switch

MAC addresses as verified by vendor firmware:

use   address             source
LAN   C8:XX:XX:3A:XX:E7   Config   "protest_lan_mac"  ascii  (label)
WAN   C8:XX:XX:3A:XX:EA   Config   "protest_wan_mac"  ascii
5G    C8:XX:XX:3A:XX:E8   Factory  "0x4"              hex
2.4G  CA:XX:XX:4A:XX:E8   [not on flash]

The increment of the 4th byte for the 2.4g address appears to vary.
Reported cases:

       5g                 2.4g         increment
 C8:XX:XX:90:XX:C3  CA:XX:XX:C0:XX:C3  0x30
 C8:XX:XX:3A:XX:08  CA:XX:XX:4A:XX:08  0x10
 C8:XX:XX:3A:XX:E8  CA:XX:XX:4A:XX:E8  0x10

Since increment is inconsistent and there is no obvious pattern
in swapping bytes, and the 2.4g address has local bit set anyway,
it seems safer to use the LAN address with flipped byte here in
order to prevent collisions between OpenWrt devices and OEM devices
for this interface. This way we at least use an address as base
that is definitely owned by the device at hand.

Notes:

1. The vendor firmware allows you to connect to the router by telnet.
   (known version 1.0.0 can open telnet.)
   There is no official binary firmware available.
   Backup the important partitions data:
   "Bootloader", "Config", "Factory", and "firmware".
   Note that with the vendor firmware the memory is detected only 128MiB
   and the last 512KiB in NAND flash is not used.

2. The POWER LED is default on after press POWER switch.
   The WAN and LAN1 - 4 LEDs are wired to ethernet switch.
   The WPS LED is controlled by MT7615DN's GPIO.
   Currently there is no proper way to configure it.

3. At the time of adding support the wireless config needs to be set up
   by editing the wireless config file:

 * Setting the country code is mandatory, otherwise the router loses
   connectivity at the next reboot. This is mandatory and can be done
   from luci. After setting the country code the router boots correctly.
   A reset with the reset button will fix the issue and the user has to
   reconfigure.

 * This is minor since the 5g interface does not come up online although
   it is not set as disabled. 2 options here:

   1- Either run the "wifi" command. Can be added from LuCI in system -
      startup - local startup and just add wifi above "exit 0".

   2- Or add the serialize option in the wireless config file as shown
      below. This one would work and bring both interfaces automatically
      at every boot:

      config wifi-device 'radio0'
          option serialize '1'

      config wifi-device 'radio1'
          option serialize '1'

Flash instructions using initramfs image:

1. Press POWER switch to power down if the router is running.

2. Connect PC to one of LAN ports, and set
   static IP address to "10.10.10.2", netmask to "255.255.255.0",
   and gateway to "10.10.10.1" manually on the PC.

3. Push and hold the WIFI button, and then power up the router.
   After about 10s (or you can call the recovery page, see "4" below)
   you can release the WIFI button.
   There is no clear indication when the router
   is entering or has entered into "RAISECOM Router Recovery Mode".

4. Call the recovery page for the router at "http://10.10.10.1".
   Keep an eye on the "WARNING!! tip" of the recovery page.
   Click "Choose File" to select initramfs image, then click "Upload".

5. If image is uploaded successfully, you will see the page display
   "Device is upgrading the firmware... %".
   Keep an eye on the "WARNING!! tip" of the recovery page.
   When the page display "Upgrade Successfully",
   you can set IP address as "automatically obtain".

6. After the rebooting (PC should automatically obtain an IP address),
   open the SSH connection, then download the sysupgrade image
   to the router and perform sysupgrade with it.

Flash back to vendor firmware:

 See "Flash instructions 1 - 5" above.
 The only difference is that in step 4
 you should select the vendor firmware which you backup.

*  Buttons:
          Reset    (x1)
          WPS      (x1)

Installation:

Flash factory image through GUI.

This might fail due to the A/B nature of this device. When flashing, OEM
firmware writes over the non-booted partition. If booted from 'A',
flashing over 'B' won't work. To get around this, you should flash the
OEM image over itself. This will then boot the router from 'B' and
allow you to flash OpenWRT without problems.

Reverting to factory firmware:

Hard-reset the router three times to force it to boot from 'B.' This is
where the stock firmware resides. To remove any traces of OpenWRT from
your router simply flash the OEM image at this point.

31b49f02ca ramips: add support for Linksys EA7500 v2 
The Linksys EA7500 v2 is advertised as AC1900, but its internal
hardware is AC2600 capable.

Hardware
--------
SoC:   Mediatek MT7621AT (880 MHz, 2 cores 4 threads)
RAM:   256M (Nanya NT5CC128M16IP-DI)
FLASH: 128MB NAND (Macronix MX30LF1G18AC-TI)
ETH:   5x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet (MT7530)
WIFI:
  - 2.4GHz: 1x MT7615N (4x4:4)
  - 5GHz:   1x MT7615N (4x4:4)
  - 4 antennas: 3 external detachable antennas and 1 internal
USB:
  - 1x USB 3.0
  - 1x USB 2.0
BTN:
  - 1x Reset button
  - 1x WPS button
LEDS:
  - 1x White led (Power)
  - 6x Green leds (link lan1-lan4, link wan, wps)
  - 5x Orange leds (act lan1-lan4, act wan) (working but unmodifiable)

Everything works correctly.

Installation
------------
The “factory” openwrt image can be flashed directly from OEM stock
firmware. After the flash the router will reboot automatically.

However, due to the dual boot system, the first installation could fail
(if you want to know why, read the footnotes).
If the flash succeed and you can reach OpenWrt through the web
interface or ssh, you are done.
Otherwise the router will try to boot 3 times and then will
automatically boot the OEM firmware (don’t turn off the router.
Simply wait and try to reach the router through the web interface
every now and then, it will take few minutes).

After this, you should be back in the OEM firmware.

Now you have to flash the OEM Firmware over itself using the OEM web
interface (I tested it using the FW_EA7500v2_2.0.8.194281_prod.img
downloaded from the Linksys website).

When the router reboots flash the “factory” OpenWrt image and this
time it should work.

After the OpenWrt installation you have to use the sysupgrade image
for future updates.

Restore OEM Firmware
--------------------
After the OpenWrt flash, the OEM firmware is still stored in the
second partition thanks to the dual boot system.
You can switch from OpenWrt to OEM firmware and vice-versa failing
the boot 3 times in a row:
 1) power on the router
 2) wait 15 seconds
 3) power off the router
 4) repeat steps 1-2-3 twice more.
 5) power on the router and you should be in the “other” firmware

If you want to completely remove OpenWrt from your router, switch to
the OEM firmware and then flash OEM firmware from the web interface
as a normal update.
This procedure will overwrite the OpenWrt partition.

Footnotes
---------
The Linksys EA7500-v2 has a dual boot system to avoid bricks.
This system works using 2 pair of partitions:
 1) "kernel" and "rootfs"
 2) "alt_kernel" and "alt_rootfs".
After 3 failed boot attempts, the bootloader tries to boot the other
pair of partitions and so on.

This system is managed by the bootloader, which writes a bootcount in
the s_env partition, and if successfully booted, the system add a
"zero-bootcount" after the previous value.

A system update performed from OEM firmware, writes the firmware on the
other pair of partitions and sets the bootloader to boot the new pair
of partitions editing the “boot_part” variable in the bootloader vars.
Effectively it's a quick and safe system to switch the selected boot
partition.

Another way to switch the boot partition is:
 1) power on the router
 2) wait 15 seconds
 3) power off the router
 4) repeat steps 1-2-3 twice more.
 5) power on the router and you should be in the “other” firmware

In this OpenWrt port, this dual boot system is partially working
because the bootloader sets the right rootfs partition in the cmdline
but unfortunately OpenWrt for ramips platform overwrites the cmdline
so is not possible to detect the right rootfs partition.

Because all of this, I preferred to simply use the first pair of
partitions and set read-only the other pair.

However this solution is not optimal because is not possible to know
without opening the case which is the current booted partition.
Let’s take for example a router booting the OEM firmware from the first
pair of partitions. If we flash the OpenWrt image, it will be written
on the second pair. In this situation the router will bootloop 3 times
and then will automatically come back to the first pair of partitions
containg the OEM firmware.
In this situation, to flash OpenWrt correctly is necessary to switch
the booting partition, flashing again the OEM firmware over itself.
At this point the OEM firmware is on both pair of partitions but the
current booted pair is the second one.
Now, flashing the OpenWrt factory image will write the firmware on
the first pair and then will boot correctly.

If this limitation in the ramips platform about the cmdline will be
fixed, the dual boot system can also be implemented in OpenWrt with
almost no effort.
