Flash: 128 MiB
Wireless 2.4 GHz (MT7603EN): b/g/n, 2x2
Wireless 5 GHz (MT7615E): a/n/ac, 4x4

Installation
-----------------
1.  Login to the router web interface under admin account
2.  Navigate to Settings -> Configuration -> Save to Computer
3.  Decode the configuration. For example, using cfgtool.py tool (see
    related section):
       cfgtool.py -u configurationBackup.cfg
4.  Open configurationBackup.xml and find the following line:
    <PARAMETER name="Password" type="string" value="<your router serial \
       is here>" writable="1" encryption="1" password="1"/>
5.  Insert the following line after and save:
<PARAMETER name="Enable" type="boolean" value="1" writable="1" encryption="0"/>
6.  Encode the configuration. For example, using cfgtool.py tool:
       cfgtool.py -p configurationBackup.xml
7.  Upload the changed configuration (configurationBackup_changed.cfg) to
    the router
8.  Login to the router web interface (SuperUser:ETxxxxxxxxxx, where
    ETxxxxxxxxxx is the serial number from the backplate label)
9.  Navigate to Settings -> WAN -> Add static IP interface (e.g.
    10.0.0.1/255.255.255.0)
10. Navigate to Settings -> Remote cotrol -> Add SSH, port 22,
    10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 and interface created before
11. Change IP of your client to 10.0.0.2/255.255.255.0 and connect the
    ethernet cable to the WAN port of the router
12. Connect to the router using SSH shell under SuperUser account
13. Run in SSH shell:
       sh
14. Make a mtd backup (optional, see related section)
15. Change bootflag to Sercomm1 and reboot:
       printf 1 | dd bs=1 seek=7 count=1 of=/dev/mtdblock3
       reboot
16. Login to the router web interface under admin account
17. Remove dots from the OpenWrt factory image filename
18. Update firmware via web using OpenWrt factory image

Revert to stock
---------------
Change bootflag to Sercomm1 in OpenWrt CLI and then reboot:
   printf 1 | dd bs=1 seek=7 count=1 of=/dev/mtdblock3

mtd backup
----------
1. Set up a tftp server (e.g. tftpd64 for windows)
2. Connect to a router using SSH shell and run the following commands:
      cd /tmp
      for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do nanddump -f mtd$i /dev/mtd$i; \
      tftp -l mtd$i -p 10.0.0.2; md5sum mtd$i >> mtd.md5; rm mtd$i; done
      tftp -l mtd.md5 -p 10.0.0.2

Recovery

bd783fd60a ramips: add support for Beeline SmartBox GIGA
Beeline SmartBox GIGA is a wireless WiFi 5 router manufactured by
Sercomm company.

Device specification
--------------------
SoC Type: MediaTek MT7621AT
RAM: 256 MiB, Nanya NT5CC128M16JR-EK
Flash: 128 MiB, Macronix MX30LF1G18AC
Wireless 2.4 GHz (MT7603EN): b/g/n, 2x2
Wireless 5 GHz (MT7613BE): a/n/ac, 2x2
Ethernet: 3 ports - 2xGbE (WAN, LAN1), 1xFE (LAN2)
USB ports: 1xUSB3.0
Button: 1 button (Reset/WPS)
PCB ID: DBE00B-1.6MM
LEDs: 1 RGB LED
Power: 12 VDC, 1.5 A
Connector type: barrel
Bootloader: U-Boot

Installation
-----------------
1. Downgrade stock (Beeline) firmware to v.1.0.02;
2. Give factory OpenWrt image a shorter name, e.g. 1001.img;
3. Upload and update the firmware via the original web interface.

Remark: You might need make the 3rd step twice if your running firmware
is booted from the Slot 1 (Sercomm0 bootflag). The stock firmware
reverses the bootflag (Sercomm0 / Sercomm1) on each firmware update.

Revert to stock
---------------
1. Change the bootflag to Sercomm1 in OpenWrt CLI and then reboot:
      printf 1 | dd bs=1 seek=7 count=1 of=/dev/mtdblock3
2. Optional: Update with any stock (Beeline) firmware if you want to
   overwrite OpenWrt in Slot 0 completely.

MAC Addresses
-------------
+-----+-----------+---------+
| use | address   | example |
+-----+-----------+---------+
| LAN | label     | *:16    |
| WAN | label + 1 | *:17    |
| 2g  | label + 4 | *:1a    |
| 5g  | label + 5 | *:1b    |
+-----+-----------+---------+
The label MAC address was found in Factory 0x21000

Notes
-----
1. The following scripts are required for the build:
      sercomm-crypto.py - already exists in OpenWrt
      sercomm-partition-tag.py - already exists in OpenWrt
      sercomm-payload.py - already exists in OpenWrt
      sercomm-pid.py - new, the part of this pull request
      sercomm-kernel-header.py - new, the part of this pull request
2. This device (same as other Sercomm S2,S3-based devices) requires
   special LZMA and LOADADDR settings for successful boot:
      LZMA_TEXT_START=0x82800000
      KERNEL_LOADADDR=0x81001000
      LOADADDR=0x80001000
3. This device (same as several other Sercomm-based devices - Beeline,
   Netgear, Etisalat, Rostelecom) has partition map (mtd1) containing
   real partition offsets, which may differ from device to device
   depending on the number and location of bad blocks on NAND.
   "fixed-partitions" is used if the partition map is not found or
   corrupted. This behavour (it's the same as on stock firmware) is
   provided by MTD_SERCOMM_PARTS module.
