Thomas Kupper 4d79a65d60 ipq807x: add support for Netgear RAX120v2
Netgear Nighthawk RAX120v2 AX WIFI router with 5 1G and 1 5G ports.

The majority of the code is based on @jewwest's PR #11830.

Specifications:
    * CPU: Qualcomm IPQ8074 Quad core Cortex-A53 2.2GHz
    * RAM: 1024MB of DDR3 (Nanya NT5CC256M16EP-EK × 2)
    * Flash: SPI-NAND 512 MiB (Winbond W29N04GZBIBA)
    * Ethernet: 4x 10/100/1000 Mbps LAN,
                1x 10/100/1000 Mbps WAN (Qualcomm QCA8075),
                1x 10/100/1000/2500/5000 Mbps LAN/WAN (Aquantia AQR111B0 PHY)
    * Wi-Fi:
        * 2.4 GHz: Qualcomm QCN5024 4x4
        * 2x 5 GHz: Qualcomm QCN5054 4x4
    * USB: 2x USB 3.0
    * LEDs: Power, 2.4GHz & 5GHz Radio, WPS, WAN, USB1 & USB2, 5G LAN
    * Keys: LEDs On/Off, Power, Reset, RFKILL, WPS
    * UART: Marked J9003 VCC TX RX GND, beginning from "1". 3.3v, 115200n8
    * Power: 19 VDC, 3.1 A

Installation:
    * Flashing OpenWrt is done in two steps:
        a) Flash *-squashfs-web-ui-factory.img from stock UI (thanks to @wangyu-).
           This writes an initramfs based OpenWrt image onto the RAX120v2
        b) From OpenWrt flash the *-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin using LuCI or the commandline

    * U-Boot allows booting an initramfs image via TFTP:
    - Set ip of your PC to 192.168.1.100
        - At the serial console interrupt boot at "Hit any key to stop autoboot:"
        - In u-boot run `tftpsrv`
        - On your PC send the OpenWrt initramfs image:

          tftp 192.168.1.1 -m binary -c put openwrt-ipq807x-generic-netgear_rax120v2-initramfs-uImage.itb

Make 5G Aquantia phy work:
    For the 5G port labeled 'lan5' to work a firmware is needed. This can be loaded in
    u-boot by writing the firmware to the correct mtd partition.

    The firmware file found in the Netgear stock firmware under /lib/firmware/ named
    'AQR-G3_v4.3.C-AQR_DNI_DR-EQ35AX8-R-prov1_ID23888_VER1311.cld' is needed and has to
    be converted to a MBN file.

    The `mkheader.py` script used here can be found in the Netgear V1.2.8.40 GPL source,
    under 'git_home/u-boot.git/tools/mkheader.py'

    Convert the CLD file to MBN using:
    $ python2 mkheader.py 0x44000000 0x13 <*.cld file> aqr_4.3.C.mbn

    This MBN file can then be flashed to the MTD partition to be used by u-boot.

    The necessary files can also be found in
        https://github.com/boretom/openwrt-fork/tree/rax120v2/aquantia-firmware

    * Write MBN file to MTD partition to be loaded automatically by u-boot:

      U-boot automatically tries to load the firmware from nand at address 0x7e00000 which
      corresponds to `/dev/mtd25` in OpenWrt.

        - find ETHPHYFW partition while running OpenWrt (expected: /dev/mtd25)

          $ fgrep -i 'ethphyfw' /proc/mtd
          mtd25: 00080000 00020000 "ethphyfw

        - copy mbn file to /tmp/ folder of the router

          $ scp aqr-v4.3.C.mbn 192.168.1.1:/tmp/

        - write mbn file to ethphyfw partition

          $ mtd write /tmp/aqr_v4.3.C.mbn /dev/mtd25

Revert to stock firmware:
    * Flash the stock firmware to the bootloader using TFTP/NMRP.

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!

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 python3.7+ 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).
