The name of squashfs is confusing since in reality it's a really old
version using an old lzma library. This tools is used for old ath79
netgear target and to produde a fake squasfs3 image needed for some
specific bootloader from some OEM (AVM for example)
Rename squashfs tool to squasfs3-lzma to better describe it.
Rename the installed bin from mksquashfs-lzma to mksquashfs3-lzma.
Use tar transform to migrate the root directory in tar to the new
naming.
Drop redundant PKG_CAT variable not needed anymore.

Although VLANs are used, the "eth0" device by itself
does not have a valid MAC, so fix that with preinit script.
More initvals added by editing the driver to print switch registers,
after the bootloader sets them but before openwrt changes them.
The register bits needed for the QCA8337 switch
can be read from interrupted boot (tftpboot, bootm)
by adding print lines in the switch driver ar8327.c
before 'qca,ar8327-initvals' is parsed from DTS and written
for example:
pr_info("0x04 %08x\n", ar8xxx_read(priv, AR8327_REG_PAD0_MODE));

wait about 3 minutes
**Return to OEM:**
If you have a serial cable, see Serial Failsafe instructions
otherwise, uboot-env can be used to make uboot load the failsafe image
ssh into openwrt and run
`fw_setenv rootfs_checksum 0`
reboot, wait 3 minutes
connect to ethernet and navigate to 192.168.1.1/index.htm
select OEM firmware image from Engenius and click upgrade
**TFTP recovery:**
Requires serial console, reset button does nothing
rename initramfs.bin to '0101A8C0.img'
make available on TFTP server at 192.168.1.101
power board, interrupt boot
execute tftpboot and bootm 0x81000000
**Format of OEM firmware image:**
The OEM software of EWS660AP is a heavily modified version
of Openwrt Kamikaze. One of the many modifications
is to the sysupgrade program. Image verification is performed
simply by the successful ungzip and untar of the supplied file
and name check and header verification of the resulting contents.
To form a factory.bin that is accepted by OEM Openwrt build,
the kernel and rootfs must have specific names...
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-ews660ap-uImage-lzma.bin
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-ews660ap-root.squashfs
and begin with the respective headers (uImage, squashfs).
Then the files must be tarballed and gzipped.
The resulting binary is actually a tar.gz file in disguise.
This can be verified by using binwalk on the OEM firmware images,
ungzipping then untaring.
Newer EnGenius software requires more checks but their script
includes a way to skip them, otherwise the tar must include
a text file with the version and md5sums in a deprecated format.
The OEM upgrade script is at /etc/fwupgrade.sh.
OKLI kernel loader is required because the OEM software
expects the kernel to be no greater than 1536k
and the factory.bin upgrade procedure would otherwise
overwrite part of the kernel when writing rootfs.
Note on PLL-data cells:
The default PLL register values will not work
because of the external AR8035 switch between
the SOC and the ethernet port.
For QCA955x series, the PLL registers for eth0 and eth1
can be see in the DTSI as 0x28 and 0x48 respectively.
Therefore the PLL registers can be read from uboot
for each link speed after attempting tftpboot
or another network action using that link speed
with `md 0x18050028 1` and `md 0x18050048 1`.
The clock delay required for RGMII can be applied
at the PHY side, using the at803x driver `phy-mode`.
Therefore the PLL registers for GMAC0
do not need the bits for delay on the MAC side.
This is possible due to fixes in at803x driver
since Linux 5.1 and 5.3

https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/gl-ar300m16-openwrt-22-03-0-rc5-usb-port-power-off-by-default/23199
The current code uses the regulator framework to control the USB power
supply. Although usb0 described in DTS refers to the regulator by
vbus-supply, but there is no code related to regulator implemented
in the USB driver of QCA953X, so the USB of the device cannot work.
Under the regulator framework, adding the regulator-always-on attribute
fixes this problem, but it means that USB power will not be able to be
turned off. Since we need to control the USB power supply in user space,
I didn't find any other better way under the regulator framework of Linux,
so I directly export gpio.

- AR9382 WLAN 2G 2x2 PCIe, 40 MHz CLK
- AR8035-A PHY RGMII, PoE+ IN, 25 MHz CLK
- 16 MB FLASH MX25L12845EMI-10G
- 2x 32 MB RAM W9725G6JB-25
- UART at J11 populated, 9600 baud
- 6 LEDs, 1 button power, ethernet, wlan, reset
Note: ethernet LEDs are not enabled
because a new netifd hotplug is required
in order to operate like OEM.
Board has 1 amber and 1 green
for each of the 3 case viewports.
**MAC addresses:**
1 MAC Address in flash at end of uboot
ASCII encoded, no delimiters
Labeled as "MAC Address" on case
OEM firmware sets offsets 1 and 8 for wlan
eth0 *:1e uboot 0x3ff80
phy0 *:1f uboot 0x3ff80 +1
phy1 *:26 uboot 0x3ff80 +8
**Serial Access:**
Pinout: (arrow) VCC GND RX TX
Pins are populated with a header and traces not blocked.
Bootloader is set to 9600 baud, 8 data, 1 stop.
**Console Access:**
Bootloader:
Interrupt boot with Ctrl+C
Press "k" and enter password "1"
OR
Hold reset button for 5 sec during power on
Interrupt the TFTP transfer with Ctrl+C
to print commands available, enter "help"
OEM:
default username is "admin", password blank
telnet is available at default address 192.168.1.2
serial is available with baud 9600
to print commands available, enter "help"
or tab-tab (busybox list of commands)
**Installation:**
Use factory.bin with OEM upgrade procedures
OR
Use initramfs.bin with uboot TFTP commands.
Then perform a sysupgrade with sysupgrade.bin
**TFTP Recovery:**
Using serial console, load initramfs.bin using TFTP
to boot openwrt without touching the flash.
TFTP is not reliable due to bugged bootloader,
set MTU to 600 and try many times.
If your TFTP server supports setting block size,
higher block size is better.
Splitting the file into 1 MB parts may be necessary
example:
$ tftpboot 0x80100000 image1.bin
$ tftpboot 0x80200000 image2.bin
$ tftpboot 0x80300000 image3.bin
$ tftpboot 0x80400000 image4.bin
$ tftpboot 0x80500000 image5.bin
$ tftpboot 0x80600000 image6.bin
$ bootm 0x80100000
**Return to OEM:**
The best way to return to OEM firmware
is to have a copy of the MTD partitions
before flashing Openwrt.
Backup copies should be made of partitions
"fwconcat0", "loader", and "fwconcat1"
which together is the same flash range
as OEM's "rootfs" and "uimage"
by loading an initramfs.bin
and using LuCI to download the mtdblocks.
It is also possible to extract from the
OEM firmware upgrade image by splitting it up
in parts of lengths that correspond
to the partitions in openwrt
and write them to flash,
after gzip decompression.
After writing to the firmware partitions,
erase the "reserved" partition and reboot.
**OEM firmware image format:**
Images from Fortinet for this device
ending with the suffix .out
are actually a .gz file
The gzip metadata stores the original filename
before compression, which is a special string
used to verify the image during OEM upgrade.
After gzip decompression, the resulting file
is an exact copy of the MTD partitions
"rootfs" and "uimage" combined in the same order and size
that they appear in /proc/mtd and as they are on flash.
OEM upgrade is performed by a customized busybox
with the command "upgrade".
Another binary, "restore"
is a wrapper for busybox's "tftp" and "upgrade".

situation that causes the need to split the firmware partition

Upon inspecting drivers/staging/mt7621-pci/pci-mt7621.c.rej, it seems that
the original patch wants to delete drivers/staging/mt7621-pci/pci-mt7621.c
but upstream's version was not an exact match. I opted to delete that
file.

"0x1000" looks suspicious. By looking at data provided
by @DragonBluep I was able to identify the correct size for
AR9380, AR9287 WiFis. Furthermore, PowerCloud Systems CAP324
has a AR9344 WiFi.

A device COMPILE target should not depend on another COMPILE.
Otherwise race condition may happen.
The loader is very small. Compiling it twice shouldn't
have a huge impact.

KuWFi C910 is an 802.11n (300N) indoor router with LTE support.
I can't find anywhere the OEM firmware. So if you want to restore the
original firmware you must do a dump before the OpenWrt flash.
According to the U-Boot, the board name is Iyunlink MINI_V2.
Hardware
--------
SoC: Qualcomm QCA9533 650/400/200/25/25 MHz (CPU/RAM/AHB/SPI/REF)
RAM: 128 MB DDR2 16-bit CL3-4-4-10 (Nanya NT5TU64M16HG-AC)
FLASH: 16 MB Winbond W25Q128
ETH:
- 2x 100M LAN (QCA9533 internal AR8229 switch, eth0)
- 1x 100M WAN (QCA9533 internal PHY, eth1)
WIFI:
- 2.4GHz: 1x QCA9533 2T2R (b/g/n)
- 2 external non detachable antennas (near the power barrel side)
LTE:
- Quectel EC200T-EU (or -CN or -AU depending on markets)
- 2 external non detachable antennas (near the sim slot side)
BTN:
- 1x Reset button
LEDS:
- 5x White leds (Power, Wifi, Wan, Lan1, Lan2)
- 1x RGB led (Internet)
UART: 115200-8-N-1 (Starting from lan ports in order: GND, RX, TX, VCC)
Everything works correctly.
MAC Addresses
-------------
LAN XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:48 (art@0x1002)
WAN XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:49 (art@0x1002 + 1)
WIFI XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:48
LABEL XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:48
Installation
------------
Turn the router on while pressing the reset button for 4 seconds.
You can simply count the flashes of the first lan led. (See notes)
If done correctly you should see the first lan led glowing slowly and
you should be able to enter the U-Boot web interface.
Click on the second tab ("固件") and select the -factory.bin firmware
then click "Update firmware".
A screen "Update in progress" should appear.
After few minutes the flash should be completed.
This procedure can be used also to recover the router in case of soft
brick.
Backup the original firmware
----------------------------
The following steps are intended for a linux pc. However using the
right software this guide should also work for Windows and MacOS.
1) Install a tftp server on your pc. For example tftpd-hpa.
2) Create two empty files in your tftp folder called:
kuwfi_c910_all_nor.bin
kuwfi_c910_firmware_only.bin
3) Give global write permissions to these files:
chmod 666 kuwfi_c910_all_nor.bin
chmod 666 kuwfi_c910_firmware_only.bin
4) Start a netcat session on your pc with this command:
nc -u -p 6666 192.168.1.1 6666
5) Set the static address on your pc: 192.168.1.2. Connect the router
to your pc.
6) Turn the router on while pressing the reset button for 8-9 seconds.
You can simply count the flashes of the first lan led. If you
press the reset button for too many seconds it will continue
the normal boot, so you have to restart the router. (See notes)
7) If done correctly you should see the U-Boot network console and you
should see the following lines on the netcat session:
Version and build date:
U-Boot 1.1.4-55f1bca8-dirty, 2020-05-07
Modification by:
Piotr Dymacz <piotr@dymacz.pl>
https://github.com/pepe2k/u-boot_mod
u-boot>
8) Start the transfer of the whole NOR:
tftpput 0x9f000000 0x1000000 kuwfi_c910_all_nor.bin
9) The router should start the transfer and it should end with a
message like this (pay attention to the bytes transferred):
TFTP transfer complete!
Bytes transferred: 16777216 (0x1000000)
10) Repeat the same transfer for the firmware:
tftpput 0x9f050000 0xfa0000 kuwfi_c910_firmware_only.bin
11) The router should start the transfer and it should end with a
message like this (pay attention to the bytes transferred):
TFTP transfer complete!
Bytes transferred: 16384000 (0xfa0000)
12) Now you have the backup for the whole nor and for the firmware
partition. If you want to restore the OEM firmware from OpenWrt
you have to flash the kuwfi_c910_firmware_only.bin from the
U-Boot web interface.
WARNING: Don't use the kuwfi_c910_all_nor.bin file. This file
is only useful if you manage to hard brick the router or you
damage the art partition (ask on the forum)
Notes
-----
This router (or at least my unit) has the pepe2k's U-Boot. It's a
modded U-Boot version with a lot of cool features. You can read more
here: https://github.com/pepe2k/u-boot_mod
With this version of U-Boot, pushing the reset button while turning on
the router starts different tools:
- 3-5 seconds: U-Boot web interface that can be used to replace the
firmware, the art or the U-Boot itself
- 5-7 seconds: U-Boot uart console
- 7-10 seconds: U-Boot network console
- 11+ seconds: Normal boot
The LTE modem can be used in cdc_ether (ECM) or RNDIS mode.
The default mode is ECM and in this commit only the ECM software is
included. In order to set RNDIS mode you must use this AT command:
AT+QCFG="usbnet",3
In order to use again the ECM mode you must use this AT command:
AT+QCFG="usbnet",1
Look for "Quectel_EC200T_Linux_USB_Driver_User_Guide_V1.0.pdf" for
other AT commands
