Hardware -------- MediaTek MT7621 SoC 256M DDR3 16MB BoHong SPI-NOR MediaTek MT7905+7975 2x2T2R DBDC bgnax / acax RGB LED WPS + RESET Button UART on compute module (silkscreened / 115200n8) The router itself is just a board with Power / USB / RJ-45 connectors and DC/DC converters. The SoC and WiFi components are on a daughterboard which connect using two M.2 connectors. The compute module has the model number "T-CB1800K-DM2 V02" printed on it. The main baord has "T-MB5EU V01" printed on it. This information might be useful, as it's highly likely either of these two will be reused in similar designs. The router itself is sold as Tenbay T-MB5EU directly from the OEM as well as "KuWFI AX1800 Smart WiFi 6 Eouter" on Amazon.de for ~50€ in a slightly different case. Installation ------------ A Tool for creating a factory image for the Vendor Web Interface can be found here: https://github.com/blocktrron/t-mb5eu-v01-factory-creator/ As the OEM Firmware is just a modified LEDE 17.01, you can also access failsafe mode via UART while the OS boots, by connecting to UART and pressing "f" when prompted. The Router is reachable at 192.168.1.1 via root without password. Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image via scp and apply with sysupgrade using the -n and -F flags. Alternatively, the board can be flashed by attaching to the UART console, interrupting the boot process by keeping "0" pressed while attaching power. Serve the OpenWrt initramfs using a TFTP server with address 192.168.1.66. Rename the initramfs to ax1800.bin. Attach your TFTP server to one of the LAN ports. Execute the following commands. $ setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.67 $ setenv serverip 192.168.1.66 $ tftpboot 0x84000000 ax1800.bin $ bootm Wait for the device to boot. Then transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the device using SCP and apply sysupgrade. Signed-off-by: David Bauer <mail@david-bauer.net>
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!
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.
