FCC ID: A8J-EPG600
Engenius EPG600 is an indoor wireless router with
1 Gb ethernet switch, dual-band wireless,
internal antenna plates, USB, and phone lines (not supported)
this board is a Senao device:
the hardware is equivalent to EnGenius ESR600 (except for phone lines)
the software is Senao SDK which is based on openwrt and uboot
which uses the legacy Senao header with Vendor / Product IDs
to verify the firmware upgrade image.
**Specification:**
- MT7620 SOC MIPS 24kec, 2.4 GHz WMAC, 2x2
- RT5592N WLAN PCI chip, 5 GHz, 2x2
- QCA8337N Gb SW RGMII GbE, SW P0 -- SOC P5, 5 LEDs
- 40 MHz clock
- 16 MB FLASH MX25L12845EMI-10G
- 64 MB RAM NT5TU32M16
- UART console J2, populated
- USB 2.0 port direct to SOC
- 6 GPIO LEDs power, 2G, 5G, wps2g, wps5g, line
- 3 buttons reset, wps, "reg" (registeration)
- 4 antennas internal omni-directional plates
NOT YET SUPPORTED: VoIP
- Si3050-FT + Si3019-FT Voice DAA, SPI control, PCM data
- Phone Ports "TEL", "LINE" RJ11, 4P2C (2 pins)
**MAC addresses:**
MAC address labeled as MAC ADDRESS
MACs present in both wifi cal data and uboot environment
eth0.1/phy1 ---- *:82 rf 0x4
phy0 ---- *:83 factory 0x4
eth0.2 MAC *:b8 "wanaddr"
**Installation:**
Method 1: Firmware upgrade page:
(if you cannot access the APs webpage)
factory reset with the reset button
connect ethernet to a computer
OEM webpage at 192.168.0.1
username and password 'admin'
Navigate to gear icon, "Device Management", "Tools"
select the factory.dlf image
Upload and verify checksum
Method 2: Serial to upload initramfs:
Follow directions for TFTP recovery
upload and boot initramfs and do a sysupgrade
**TFTP recovery:**
Requires UART serial console, reset button does nothing
rename initramfs-kernel.bin to 'uImageEPG600'
make available on TFTP server at 192.168.99.8
power board, interrupt boot with "4"
execute `tftpboot` and `bootm` (with the load address)
**Return to OEM:**
Images from OEM are provided, but not compatible
with openwrt sysupgrade. So it must be modified.
Alternatively, back up all mtd partitions before flashing
**Note on switch registers:**
The necessary registers needed for the QCA8337 switch
can be read from interrupted boot (tftpboot, bootm)
by using the following lines in the switch driver ar8327.c
in the function 'ar8327_hw_config_of'
where 'qca,ar8327-initvals' is parsed from DTS
before the new register values are written:
pr_info("0x04 %08x\n", ar8xxx_read(priv, AR8327_REG_PAD0_MODE));
pr_info("0x08 %08x\n", ar8xxx_read(priv, AR8327_REG_PAD5_MODE));
pr_info("0x0c %08x\n", ar8xxx_read(priv, AR8327_REG_PAD6_MODE));
pr_info("0x10 %08x\n", ar8xxx_read(priv, AR8327_REG_POWER_ON_STRAP));

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.

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.
