Harm Berntsen 09f313bfd7 ramips: mt7621: Add Arcadyan WE420223-99 support
The Arcadyan WE420223-99 is a WiFi AC simultaneous dual-band access
point distributed as Experia WiFi by KPN in the Netherlands. It features
two ethernet ports and 2 internal antennas.

Specifications
--------------
SOC   : Mediatek MT7621AT
ETH   : Two 1 gigabit ports, built into the SOC
WIFI  : MT7615DN
BUTTON: Reset
BUTTON: WPS
LED   : Power (green+red)
LED   : WiFi (green+blue)
LED   : WPS (green+red)
LED   : Followme (green+red)
Power : 12 VDC, 1A barrel plug

Winbond variant:
RAM   : Winbond W631GG6MB12J, 1GBIT DDR3 SDRAM
Flash : Winbond W25Q256JVFQ, 256Mb SPI
U-Boot: 1.1.3 (Nov 23 2017 - 16:40:17), Ralink 5.0.0.1

Macronix variant:
RAM   : Nanya NT5CC64M16GP-DI, 1GBIT DDR3 SDRAM
Flash : MX25l25635FMI-10G, 256Mb SPI
U-Boot: 1.1.3 (Dec  4 2017 - 11:37:57), Ralink 5.0.0.1

Serial
------
The serial port needs a TTL/RS-232 3V3 level converter! The Serial
setting is 57600-8-N-1. The board has an unpopulated 2.54mm straight pin
header.

The pinout is: VCC (the square), RX, TX, GND.

Installation
------------
See the Wiki page [1] for more details, it comes down to:

1. Open the device, take off the heat sink
2. Connect the SPI flash chip to a flasher, e.g. a Raspberry Pi. Also
   connect the RESET pin for stability (thanks @FPSUsername for reporting)
3. Make a backup in case you want to revert to stock later
4. Flash the squashfs-factory.trx file to offset 0x50000 of the flash
5. Ensure the bootpartition variable is set to 0 in the U-Boot
   environment located at 0x30000

Note that the U-Boot is password protected, this can optionally be
removed. See the forum [2] for more details.

MAC Addresses(stock)
--------------------
+----------+------------------+-------------------+
| use      | address          | example           |
+----------+------------------+-------------------+
| Device   | label            | 00:00:00:11:00:00 |
| Ethernet | + 3              | 00:00:00:11:00:03 |
| 2g       | + 0x020000f00001 | 02:00:00:01:00:01 |
| 5g       | + 1              | 00:00:00:11:00:01 |
+----------+------------------+-------------------+

The label address is stored in ASCII in the board_data partition

Notes
-----
- This device has a dual-boot partition scheme, but OpenWRT will claim
  both partitions for more storage space.

Known issues
------------
- 2g MAC address does not match stock due to missing support for that in
  macaddr_add
- Only the power LED is configured by default

OpenWrt logo

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Sunshine!

Download

Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.

If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.

An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:

Development

To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.

Requirements

You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.

binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.6+ rsync subversion unzip which

Quickstart

  1. Run ./scripts/feeds update -a to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

  2. Run ./scripts/feeds install -a to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/

  3. Run make menuconfig to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

  4. Run make to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.

The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.

  • LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.

  • OpenWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.

  • OpenWrt Routing: Packages specifically focused on (mesh) routing.

  • OpenWrt Video: Packages specifically focused on display servers and clients (Xorg and Wayland).
