Ben Gainey 4123f177f9 ramips: add support for the Wavlink WL-WN579X3 ... About the device ---------------- SoC: MediaTek MT7620a @ 580MHz RAM: 64M FLASH: 8MB WiFi: SoC-integrated: MediaTek MT7620a bgn WiFi: MediaTek MT7612EN nac GbE: 2x (RTL8211F) BTN: - WPS - Reset - Router/Repeater/AP (3-way slide-switch) LED: - WPS (blue) - 3-segment Wifi signal representation (blue) - WiFi (blue) - WAN (blue) - LAN (blue) - Power (blue) UART: UART is present as Pads with through-holes on the PCB. They are located next to the reset button and are labelled Vcc/TX/RX/GND as appropriate. Use 3.3V, 57600-8N1. Installation ------------ Using the webcmd interface -------------------------- Warning: Do not update to the latest Wavlink firmware (version 20201201) as this removes the webcmd console and you will need to use the serial port instead. You will need to have built uboot/sqauashfs image for this device, and you will need to provide an HTTP service where the image can be downloaded from that is accessible by the device. You cannot use the device manufacturers firmware upgrade interface as it rejects the OpenWrt image. 1. Log into the device's admin portal. This is necessary to authenticate you as a user in order to be able to access the webcmd interface. 2. Navigate to http://<device-ip>/webcmd.shtml - you can access the console directly through this page, or you may wish to launch the installed `telnetd` and use telnet instead. * Using telnet is recommended since it provides a more convenient shell interface that the web form. * Launch telnetd from the form with the command `telnetd`. * Check the port that telnetd is running on using `netstat -antp|grep telnetd`, it is likely to be 2323. * Connect to the target using `telnet`. The username should be `admin2860`, and the password is your admin password. 3. On the target use `curl` to download the image. e.g. `curl -L -O http://<some-other-lan-ip>/openwrt-ramips-mt7620-\ wavlink_wl-wn579x3-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin`. Check the hash using `md5sum`. 4. Use the mtd_write command to flash the image. * The flash partition should be mtd4, but check /sys/class/mtd/mtd4/name first. The partition should be called 'Kernel'. * To flash use the following command: `mtd_write -r -e /dev/mtd<n> write <image-file> /dev/mtd<n>` Where mtd<n> is the Kernel partition, and <image-file> is the OpenWrt image previously downloaded. * The command above will erase, flash and then reboot the device. Once it reboots it will be running OpenWrt. Connect via ssh to the device at 192.168.1.1 on the LAN port. The WAN port will be configured via DHCP. Using the serial port --------------------- The device uses uboot like many other MT7260a based boards. To use this interface, you will need to connect to the serial interface, and provide a TFTP server. At boot follow the bootloader menu and select option 2 to erase/flash the image. Provide the address and filename details for the tftp server. The bootloader will do the rest. Once the image is flashed, the board will boot into OpenWrt. The console is available over the serial port. Signed-off-by: Ben Gainey <ba.gainey@googlemail.com> (cherry picked from commit a509b80065)		2022-04-19 14:48:21 +02:00
