Spectrum SAX1V1K is a AX WIFI router with 3 1G and 1 2.5G ports. The router is provided to Spectrum customers. It is OEM of Askey RT5010W https://forum.openwrt.org/t/spectrum-sax1v1k-askey-rt5010w-openwrt-support/149923 It continues the original work by @MeisterLone to get this device supported. Specifications: ``` • CPU: Qualcomm IPQ8072A Quad core Cortex-A53 2.2GHz • RAM: 2048MB of DDR3 • Storage: 1024MB eMMC • Ethernet: 3x 1G RJ45 ports (QCA8075) + 1 2.5G Port (QCA8081) • WLAN: • 2.4GHz: Qualcomm QCN5024 4x4 802.11b/g/n/ax 1174 Mbps PHY rate • 5GHz: Qualcomm QCN5054 4x4 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax 2402 PHY rate • LED: 1 gpio-controlled dual color led (blue/red) • Buttons: 1x reset • Power: 12V DC jack ``` Notes: ``` • This commit adds only single partition support, that means sysupgrade is upgrading the current rootfs partition. • Installation can be done by serial connection only. • A poulated serial header is onboard https://forum.openwrt.org/t/spectrum-sax1v1k-askey-rt5010w-openwrt-support/149923/6 • RX/TX is working, u-boot bootwait is active, secure boot is enabled. ``` Installation Instructions: **Most part of the installation is performed from an initramfs image.** Boot initramfs : Using serial connection 1. Boot up the device and wait till it displays "VERIFY_IB: Success. verify IB ok" 2. Once that message appears, login with username 'root' password serial number of your router in uppercase. 3. Use vi to paste the 'open.sh' script from @MeisterLone github on your device https://github.com/MeisterLone/Askey-RT5010W-D187-REV6/blob/master/Patch/open.sh 4. chmod 755 open.sh 5. ./open.sh 6. Set your ip to 192.168.0.1 7. Run a TFTP server and host the initramfs image on the TFTP server and name it "recovery.img" 8. Reboot device. On boot it will try TFTP. Install OpenWrt from initramfs image: 1. Use SCP (or other way) to transfer OpenWrt factory image 2. Connect to device using SSH (on a LAN port) 3. Flash firmware: sysupgrade # sysupgrade -n -v /tmp/openwrt_sysupgrade.bin 4. Set U-boot env variable: bootcmd # fw_setenv bootcmd "run fix_uboot; run setup_and_boot" 5. Reboot the device # reboot 6. Once device is booted, residue of previous firmware will prevent openwrt to work properly. Factory Reset is MUST required # Once serial console is displaying to login, hold reset button for 10 sec 7. Now everything should be operational. Note: this PR adds only single partition support, that means sysupgrade is upgrading the current rootfs partition Signed-off-by: Connor Yoon <j_connor@taliaent.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.

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 -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.
