Xiaomi AX9000 is a premium 802.11ax "tri"-band router/AP. Specifications: * CPU: Qualcomm IPQ8072A Quad core Cortex-A53 2.2GHz * RAM: 1024MB of DDR3 * Storage: 256MB of parallel NAND * Ethernet: * 4x1G RJ45 ports (QCA8075) with 1x status LED per port * 1x2.5G RJ45 port (QCA8081) with 1x status LED * WLAN: * PCI based Qualcomm QCA9889 1x1 802.11ac Wawe 2 for IoT * 2.4GHz: Qualcomm QCN5024 4x4@40MHz 802.11b/g/n/ax 1147 Mbps PHY rate * 5.8GHz: Qualcomm QCN5054 4x4@80MHz or 2x2@160MHz 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax 2402Mbps PHY rate * 5GHz: PCI based Qualcomm QCN9024 4x4@160MHz 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax 4804Mbps PHY rate * USB: 1x USB3.0 Type-A port * LED-s: * System (Blue and Yellow) * Network (Blue and Yellow) * RGB light bar on top in X shape * Buttons: * 1x Power switch * 1x Soft reset * 1x Mesh button * Power: 12V DC Jack Installation instructions: Obtaining SSH access is mandatory https://openwrt.org/inbox/toh/xiaomi/ax9000#obtain_ssh_access Installation is done by the ubiformat method, through SSH: 1. Open an SSH shell to the router 2. Copy the file openwrt-ipq807x-generic-xiaomi_ax9000-initramfs-factory.ubi to the /tmp directory 3. Check which rootfs partition is your router booted in (0 = rootfs | 1 = rootfs_1): nvram get flag_boot_rootfs 4. Find the rootfs and rootfs_1 mtd indexes respectively: cat /proc/mtd Please confirm if mtd21 and mtd22 are the correct indexes from above! 5. Use the command ubiformat to flash the opposite mtd with UBI image: If nvram get flag_boot_rootfs returned 0: ubiformat /dev/mtd22 -y -f /tmp/openwrt-ipq807x-generic-xiaomi_ax9000-initramfs-factory.ubi && nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=1 && nvram set flag_last_success=1 && nvram commit otherwise: ubiformat /dev/mtd21 -y -f /tmp/openwrt-ipq807x-generic-xiaomi_ax9000-initramfs-factory.ubi && nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=0 && nvram set flag_last_success=0 && nvram commit 6. Reboot the device by: reboot Previous commands flashed an ubinized OpenWrt initramfs that will serve as the intermediate step since OpenWrt uses unified rootfs in order to fully utilize NAND and provide enough space for packages. Continue in order to pernamently flash OpenWrt: 7. SSH into OpenWrt from one of the LAN ports 8. Copy the file openwrt-ipq807x-generic-xiaomi_ax9000-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin to the /tmp directory 9. Sysupgrade the device: sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ipq807x-generic-xiaomi_ax9000-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin Device will reboot with OpenWrt, and then sysupgrade can be used to upgrade the device when desired.

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.

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
-
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.
