Giammarco Marzano 0de6a3339f ipq40xx: Add ZTE MF289F
It's a 4G Cat.20 router used by Vodafone Italy (called Vodafone FWA)
and Vodafone DE\T-Mobile PL (called GigaCube).

Modem is a MiniPCIe-to-USB based on Snapdragon X24,
it supports 4CA aggregation.

There are currently two hardware revisions, which
differ on the 5Ghz radio:

AT1 = QCA9984 5Ghz Radio on PCI-E bus
AT2 = IPQ4019 5Ghz Radio inside IPQ4019 like 2.4Ghz

Device specification
--------------------
SoC Type: Qualcomm IPQ4019
RAM: 256 MiB
Flash: 128 MiB SPI NAND (Winbond W25N01GV)
ROM: 2MiB SPI Flash (GD25Q16)
Wireless 2.4 GHz (IP4019): b/g/n, 2x2
Wireless 5 GHz:
	(QCA9984): a/n/ac, 4x4 HW REV AT1
	(IPA4019): a/n/ac, 2x2 HW REV AT2
Ethernet: 2xGbE (WAN/LAN1, LAN2)
USB ports: No
Button: 2 (Reset/WPS)
LEDs: 3 external leds: Network (white or red), Wifi, Power and 1 internal (blue)
Power: 12 VDC, 1 A
Connector type: Barrel
Bootloader: U-Boot

Installation
------------
1. Place OpenWrt initramfs image for the device on a TFTP
   in the server's root. This example uses Server IP: 192.168.0.2
2. Connect serial console (115200,8n1) to serial connector
   GND (which is right next to the thing with MF289F MIMO-V1.0), RX, TX
   (refer to this image: https://ibb.co/31Gngpr).
3. Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port (WAN/LAN1).
4. Stop in u-Boot (using ESC button) and run u-Boot commands:

setenv serverip 192.168.0.2
setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.1
set fdt_high 0x85000000
tftp openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-zte_mf289f-initramfs-fit-zImage.itb
bootm $loadaddr

5. Please make backup of original partitions, if you think about revert to
   stock, specially mtd16 (Web UI) and mtd17 (rootFS).
Use /tmp as temporary storage and do:

WEB PARITION
--------------------------------------
cat /dev/mtd16 > /tmp/mtd16.bin
scp /tmp/mtd16.bin root@YOURSERVERIP:/
rm /tmp/mtd16.bin

ROOT PARITION
--------------------------------------
cat /dev/mtd17 > /tmp/mtd17.bin
scp /tmp/mtd17.bin root@YOURSERVERIP:/
rm /tmp/mtd17.bin

6. Login via ssh or serial and remove stock partitions
   (default IP 192.168.0.1):

 # this can return an error, if ubi was attached before
 # or rootfs part was erased before.
ubiattach -m 17

 # it could return error if rootfs part was erased before
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs
 # some devices doesn't have it
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs_data

7. download and install image via sysupgrade -n
 (either use wget/scp to copy the mf289f's squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
 to the device's /tmp directory)

 sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-...-zte_mf289f-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

Sometimes it could print ubi attach error, but please ignore it
if process goes forward.

Back to Stock (!!! need original dump taken from initramfs !!!)
-------------
1. Place mtd16.bin and mtd17.bin initramfs image
   for the device on a TFTP in the server's root.
   This example uses Server IP: 192.168.0.2
2. Connect serial console (115200,8n1) to serial console
   connector (refer to the pin-out from above).
3. Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port (WAN/LAN1).
4. rename mtd16.bin to web.img and mtd17.bin to root_uImage_s
5. Stop in u-Boot (using ESC button) and run u-Boot commands:

This will erase RootFS+Web:
nand erase 0x1000000 0x800000
nand erase 0x1800000 0x1D00000

This will restore RootFS:
tftpboot 0x84000000 ${dir}root_uImage_s
nand erase 0x1800000 0x1D00000
nand write $fileaddr 0x1800000 $filesize

This will restore Web Interface:
tftpboot 0x84000000 ${dir}web.img
nand erase 0x1000000 0x800000
nand write $fileaddr 0x1000000 $filesize

After first boot on stock firwmare, do a factory reset.
Push reset button for 5 seconds so all parameters will
be reverted to the one printed on label on bottom of the router

(Warning: commit message did not conform to UTF-8 - hopefully fixed?,
added description of the pin-out if image goes down, reformatted
commit message to be hopefully somewhat readable on git-web,
redid some of the gpio-buttons & leds DT nodes, etc.)

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!

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).
