David Bauer 1e1695f959 ath79: add support for ZTE MF281
Add support for the ZTE MF281 battery-powered WiFi router.

Hardware
--------
SoC:    Qualcomm Atheros QCA9563
RAM:    128M DDR2
FLASH:  2M SPI-NOR (GigaDevice GD25Q16)
        128M SPI-NAND (GigaDevice)
WLAN:   QCA9563 2T2R 802.11 abgn
        QCA9886 2T2R 802.11 nac
WWAN:   ASRMicro ASR1826
ETH:    Qualcomm Atheros QCA8337
UART:   115200 8n1
        Unpopulated connector next to SIM slot
        (SIM) GND - RX - TX - 3V3
        Don't connect 3V3
BUTTON: Reset - WPS
LED:    1x debug-LED (internal)
        LEDs on front of the device are controlled
        using the modem CPU and can not be controlled
        by OpenWrt

Installation
------------

1. Connect to the serial console. Power up the device and interrupt
   autoboot when prompted

2. Connect a TFTP server reachable at 192.168.1.66 to the ethernet port.
   Serve the OpenWrt initramfs image as "speedbox-2.bin"

3. Boot the initramfs image using U-Boot

   $ setenv serverip 192.168.1.66
   $ setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.154
   $ tftpboot 0x84000000 speedbox-2.bin
   $ bootm

4. Copy the OpenWrt factory image to the device using scp and write to
   the NAND flash

   $ mtd write /path/to/openwrt/factory.bin firmware

WWAN
----

The WWAN card can be used with OpenWrt. Example configuration for
connection with a unauthenticated dual-stack APN:

network.lte=interface
network.lte.proto='ncm'
network.lte.device='/dev/ttyACM0'
network.lte.pdptype='IPV4V6'
network.lte.apn='internet.telekom'
network.lte.ipv6='auto'
network.lte.delay='10'

The WWAN card is running a modified version of OpenWrt and handles
power-management as well as the LED controller (AW9523). A root shell
can be acquired by installing adb using opkg and executing "adb shell".

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).
