Specs
=====
CPU: QCA9563, 775MHz

Flash: 16MiB
Wireless: QCA9888 (5GHz only)
Ethernet: 2x GBit (via QCA8337), 48V passive PoE
Installation
============
From OEM firmware
-----------------
The OEM firmware has telnet enabled by default. If not, it can be enabled
from the firmware web interface. You need a TFTP server on your computer
and the OpenWrt factory image should be available as "n650factory.bin".
It is assumed that your computer has the IP 192.168.1.1 and the N650
192.168.1.20 (default IP address).
1. Connect via Telnet to the device and log in with the default credentials
"admin:admin"
2. Exploit the limited interface by typing "ps & /bin/sh"
3. Press <ENTER> to start the shell
4. Enter the following commands:
$ cd /tmp
$ tftp -r n650factory.bin -g 192.168.1.1
$ cat << EOF > /tmp/openwrt.sh
IMAGE_NAME="\$1"
if [ ! -e \${IMAGE_NAME} ]; then
echo "Image file not found: \${IMAGE_NAME}"
exit 1
fi
. /usr/sbin/common.sh
kill_remaining TERM
sleep 3
kill_remaining KILL
run_ramfs mtd write \${IMAGE_NAME} firmware
sleep 2
reboot -f
EOF
$ chmod +x /tmp/openwrt.sh
$ /tmp/openwrt.sh n650factory.bin
Once the device reboots, it should load OpenWrt.
From UART
---------
UART installation is possible since the serial header is already soldered
on. The pinout is GND - Tx - Rx - VCC from top to bottom (RJ45 ports are
at the bottom). Connect with 115200 8N1.
First, boot OpenWrt from TFTP. Enter the following commands in the U-Boot
shell, assuming your computer has the IP address 192.168.1.1 and a TFTP
server running where the initramfs image is provided as n650.bin:
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.20
setenv serverip 192.168.1.1
tftpboot 0x84000000 n650.bin
bootm
Once booted, transfer -loader.bin and -sysupgrade.bin images to the device
at /tmp. Enter the following commands, replacing the filenames:
mtd write /tmp/loader.bin loader
sysupgrade /tmp/sysupgrade.bin
Reboot and OpenWrt should load from flash.
Back to Stock
-------------
Back to stock is only possible if you saved a partition backup before
installing OpenWrt. Assuming you have fullbackup.bin covering the whole
flash, you need to prepare the image as follows:
$ dd if=fullbackup.bin of=fwconcat0.bin bs=65536 skip=4 count=212
$ dd if=fullbackup.bin of=loader.bin bs=65536 skip=216 count=1
$ dd if=fullbackup.bin of=fwconcat1.bin bs=65536 skip=217 count=22
$ cat fwconcat0.bin fwconcat1.bin > firmware.bin
Transfer firmware.bin and loader.bin to the OpenWrt device. First, flash
loader.bin to mtd device loader, then force sysupgrade:
$ mtd write loader.bin loader
$ sysupgrade -F firmware.bin
The reason for the two-step process is the way the flash layout is designed
for OpenWrt in contrast to the OEM firmware partition.

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 macOS 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 python3.7+ rsync subversion unzip which
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
maketo 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
packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
