Hardware specification: ======== SoC: Qualcomm IPQ8072A Flash: 512MB (Fidelix FMND4G08S3J-ID) RAM: 1GB (2x Kingston DDR3L D2516ECMDXGJD) Ethernet: 1x 10/100/1000/2500/5000Mbps (Marvell AQR114C) Ethernet: 4x 10/100/1000Mbps (Qualcomm QCA8075) WiFi1: 6GHz ax 4x4 (Qualcomm QCN9024 + Skyworks SKY85784-11) - channels 33-229 WiFi2: 5GHz ax 4x4 (Qualcomm QCN5054 + Skyworks SKY85755-11) - channels 36-177 WiFi3: 2.4GHz ax 4x4 (Qualcomm QCN5024 + Skyworks SKY8340-11) IoT: Bluetooth 5, Zigbee and Thread (NXP K32W041) LED: 1x RGB status (NXP PCA9633) USB: 1x USB 3.0 Button: WPS, Reset Flash instructions: ======== 1. Manually upgrade firmware using openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-squashfs-factory.bin image. More details can be found here: https://www.linksys.com/support-article?articleNum=47547 After first boot check actual partition: - fw_printenv -n boot_part and install firmware on second partition using command in case of 2: - mtd -r -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-squashfs-factory.bin kernel and in case of 1: - mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel 2. Installation using serial connection from OEM firmware (default login: root, password: admin): - fw_printenv -n boot_part In case of 2: - flash_erase /dev/mtd21 0 0 - nandwrite -p /dev/mtd21 openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-squashfs-factory.bin or in case of 1: - flash_erase /dev/mtd23 0 0 - nandwrite -p /dev/mtd23 openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-squashfs-factory.bin After first boot install firmware on second partition: - mtd -r -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-squashfs-factory.bin kernel or: - mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel 3. Installation from initramfs image using USB drive: Put the initramfs image on the USB drive: - dd bs=1M if=openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-initramfs-uImage.itb of=/dev/sda Stop u-boot and run: - usb start && usbboot $loadaddr 0 && bootm $loadaddr Write firmware to the flash from initramfs: - mtd -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-squashfs-factory.bin kernel and: - mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel 4. Back to the OEM firmware: - mtd -e kernel -n write FW_MX8500_1.0.11.208937_prod.img kernel and: - mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write FW_MX8500_1.0.11.208937_prod.img alt_kernel 5. USB recovery: Put the initramfs image on the USB: - dd bs=1M if=openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-initramfs-uImage.itb of=/dev/sda Set u-boot env: - fw_setenv bootusb 'usb start && usbboot $loadaddr 0 && bootm $loadaddr' - fw_setenv bootcmd 'run bootusb; if test $auto_recovery = no; then bootipq; elif test $boot_part = 1; then run bootpart1; else run bootpart2; fi' AQR firmware: ======== 1. Firmware loading: To properly load the firmware and initialize AQR PHY, we must use the u-boot aq_load_fw function. To do this, you need to modify u-boot env: With USB recovery: - fw_setenv bootcmd 'aq_load_fw; run bootusb; if test $auto_recovery = no; then bootipq; elif test $boot_part = 1; then run bootpart1; else run bootpart2; fi' and without: - fw_setenv bootcmd 'aq_load_fw; if test $auto_recovery = no; then bootipq; elif test $boot_part = 1; then run bootpart1; else run bootpart2; fi' 2. Firmware updating: Newer firmware (AQR-G4_v5.6.5-AQR_WNC_SAQA-L2_GT_ID45287_VER24005.cld) is available in the latest OEM firmware. To load this firmware via u-boot, we need to add the MBN header and update 0:ethphyfw partition. For MBN header we can use script from this repository: https://github.com/testuser7/aqr_mbn_tool - python aqr_mbn_tool.py AQR-G4_v5.6.5-AQR_WNC_SAQA-L2_GT_ID45287_VER24005.cld To update partition we need to install kmod-mtd-rw package first: - insmod mtd-rw.ko i_want_a_brick=1 - mtd -e /dev/mtd26 -n write aqr_fw.mbn /dev/mtd26 Signed-off-by: Paweł Owoc <frut3k7@gmail.com> Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/14883 Signed-off-by: Robert Marko <robimarko@gmail.com>		2024-05-16 20:27:36 +02:00
