NEC Aterm WF1200CR is a 2.4/5 GHz band 11ac (Wi-Fi 5) router, based on QCA9561. Specification: - SoC : Qualcomm Atheros QCA9561 - RAM : DDR2 128 MiB (W971GG6SB-25) - Flash : SPI-NOR 8 MiB (MX25L6433FM2I-08G) - WLAN : 2.4/5 GHz 2T2R - 2.4 GHz : QCA9561 (SoC) - 5 GHz : QCA9888 - Ethernet : 2x 10/100 Mbps - Switch : QCA9561 (SoC) - LEDs/Keys : 8x/3x (2x buttons, 1x slide-switch) - UART : through-hole on PCB - JP1: Vcc, GND, NC, TX, RX from "JP1" marking - 115200n8 - Power : 12 VDC, 0.9 A Flash instruction using factory image (stock: < v1.3.2): 1. Boot WF1200CR normally with "Router" mode 2. Access to "http://192.168.10.1/" and open firmware update page ("ファームウェア更新") 3. Select the OpenWrt factory image and click update ("更新") button to perform firmware update 4. Wait ~150 seconds to complete flashing Alternate flash instruction using initramfs image (stock: >= v1.3.2): 1. Prepare the TFTP server with the IP address 192.168.1.10 and place the OpenWrt initramfs image to the TFTP directory with the name "0101A8C0.img" 2. Connect serial console to WF1200CR 3. Boot WF1200CR and interrupt with any key after the message "Hit any key to stop autoboot: 2", the U-Boot starts telnetd after the message "starting telnetd server from server 192.168.1.1" 4. login the telnet (address: 192.168.1.1) 5. Perform the following commands to modify "bootcmd" variable temporary and check the value (to ignore the limitation of available commands, "tp; " command at the first is required as dummy, and the output of "printenv" is printed on the serial console) tp; set bootcmd 'set autostart yes; tftpboot' tp; printenv 6. Save the modified variable with the following command and reset device tp; saveenv tp; reset 7. The U-Boot downloads initramfs image from TFTP server and boots it 8. On initramfs image, download the sysupgrade image to the device and perform the following commands to erase stock firmware and sysupgrade mtd erase firmware sysupgrade <sysupgrade image> 9. After the rebooting by completion of sysupgrade, start U-Boot telnetd and login with the same way above (3, 4) 10. Perform the following commands to reset "bootcmd" variable to the default and reset the device tp; run seattle tp; reset (the contents of "seattle": setenv bootcmd 'bootm 0x9f070040' && saveenv) 11. Wait booting-up the device Known issues: - the following 6x LEDs are connected to the gpio controller on QCA9888 chip and the implementation of control via the controller is missing in ath10k/ath10k-ct - "ACTIVE" (Red/Green) - "2.4GHz" (Red/Green) - "5GHz" (Red/Green) Note: - after the version v1.3.2 of stock firmware, "offline update" by uploading image by user is deleted and the factory image cannot be used - the U-Boot on WF1200CR doesn't configure the port-side LEDs on WAN/LAN and the configuration is required on OpenWrt - gpio-hog: set the direction of GPIO 14(WAN)/19(LAN) to output - pinmux: set GPIO 14/19 as switch-controlled LEDs Signed-off-by: INAGAKI Hiroshi <musashino.open@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: maurerr <mariusd84@gmail.com>
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
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -a
to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -a
to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfig
to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
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.
Related Repositories
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
