FCC ID: A8J-ECB350 Engenius ECB350 v1 is an indoor wireless access point with a gigabit ethernet port, 2.4 GHz wireless, external antennas, and PoE. **Specification:** - AR7242 SOC - AR9283 WLAN 2.4 GHz (2x2), PCIe on-board - AR8035-A switch RGMII, GbE with 802.3af PoE - 40 MHz reference clock - 8 MB FLASH 25L6406EM2I-12G - 32 MB RAM - UART at J2 (populated) - 2 external antennas - 3 LEDs, 1 button (power, lan, wlan) (reset) **MAC addresses:** MACs are labeled as WLAN and WAN vendor MAC addresses in flash are duplicate phy0 WLAN *:b8 --- eth0 WAN *:b9 art 0x0/0x6 **Installation:** - if you get Failsafe Mode from failed flash: only use it to flash Original firmware from Engenius or risk kernel loop or halt which requires serial cable Method 1: Firmware upgrade page: OEM webpage at 192.168.1.1 username and password "admin" Navigate to "Firmware" page from left pane Click Browse and select the factory.bin image Upload and verify checksum Click Continue to confirm and wait 3 minutes Method 2: Serial to load Failsafe webpage: After connecting to serial console and rebooting... Interrupt uboot with any key pressed rapidly execute `run failsafe_boot` OR `bootm 0x9f670000` wait a minute connect to ethernet and navigate to "192.168.1.1/index.htm" Select the factory.bin image and upload wait about 3 minutes **Return to OEM:** If you have a serial cable, see Serial Failsafe instructions otherwise, uboot-env can be used to make uboot load the failsafe image *DISCLAIMER* The Failsafe image is unique to Engenius boards. If the failsafe image is missing or damaged this will not work DO NOT downgrade to ar71xx this way, it can cause kernel loop or halt ssh into openwrt and run `fw_setenv rootfs_checksum 0` reboot, wait 3 minutes connect to ethernet and navigate to 192.168.1.1/index.htm select OEM firmware image from Engenius and click upgrade **TFTP recovery** (unstable / not reliable): rename initramfs to 'vmlinux-art-ramdisk' make available on TFTP server at 192.168.1.101 power board while holding or pressing reset button repeatedly NOTE: for some Engenius boards TFTP is not reliable try setting MTU to 600 and try many times **Format of OEM firmware image:** The OEM software of ECB350 v1 is a heavily modified version of Openwrt Kamikaze. One of the many modifications is to the sysupgrade program. Image verification is performed by the successful ungzip and untar of the supplied file and name check and header verification of the resulting contents. To form a factory.bin that is accepted by OEM Openwrt build, the kernel and rootfs must have specific names and begin with the respective headers (uImage, squashfs). Then the files must be tarballed and gzipped. The resulting binary is actually a tar.gz file in disguise. This can be verified by using binwalk on the OEM firmware images, ungzipping then untaring. The OEM upgrade script is at /etc/fwupgrade.sh. OKLI kernel loader is required because the OEM software expects the kernel size to be no greater than 1536k and otherwise the factory.bin upgrade procedure would overwrite part of the kernel when writing rootfs. The factory upgrade script follows the original mtd partitions. **Note on PLL-data cells:** The default PLL register values will not work because of the AR8035 switch between the SOC and the ethernet port. For AR724x series, the PLL register for GMAC0 can be seen in the DTSI as 0x2c. Therefore the PLL register can be read from u-boot for each link speed after attempting tftpboot or another network action using that link speed with `md 0x1805002c 1` However the registers that u-boot sets are not ideal and sometimes wrong... the at803x driver supports setting the RGMII clock/data delay on the PHY side. This way the pll-data register only needs to handle invert and phase. for this board no extra adjustements are needed on the MAC side all link speeds functional Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt <mcpratt@pm.me> |
