Peter Geis 70c12d26ca ipq806x: add support for Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500 
This adds support for the Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500.
It is the successor to the Netgear Nighthawk R7800 and shares almost
identical hardware to that device.
The stock firmware is a heavily modified version of OpenWRT.

Specifications:
  SoC: Qualcomm Atheros IPQ8065
  RAM: 512 MB
  Storage: 256 MiB NAND Flash
  Wireless: 2x Qualcomm Atheros QCA9984
  Ethernet: 2x 1000/100/10 dedicated interfaces
  Switch: 5x 1000/100/10 external ports
  USB: 2x 3.0 ports

More information:
Manufacturer page: https://www.netgear.com/gaming/xr500/
Almost identical to Netgear R7800
Differences (r7800 > xr500):
  Flash: 128MiB > 256MiB
  Removed esata
  swapped leds:
    usb1 (gpio 7 > 8)
    usb2 (gpio 8 > 26)
    guest/esata (gpio 26 > 7)

MAC addresses:

On the OEM firmware, the mac addresses are:

  WAN: *:50  art 0x6
  LAN: *:4f  art 0x0 (label)
  2G:  *:4f  art 0x0
  5G:  *:51  art 0xc

Installation:
Install via Web Interface (preferred):
Utilize openwrt-ipq806x-netgear_xr500-squashfs-factory.img

Install via TFTP recovery:
1.Turn off the power, push and hold the reset button (in a hole on
  backside) with a pin
2.Turn on the power and wait till power led starts flashing white
  (after it first flashes orange for a while)
3.Release the reset button and tftp the factory img in binary mode.
  The power led will stop flashing if you succeeded in transferring
  the image, and the router reboots rather quickly with the new
  firmware.
4.Try to ping the router (ping 192.168.1.1). If does not respond,
  then tftp will not work either.

Uploading the firmware image with a TFTP client
$ tftp 192.168.1.1
bin
put openwrt-ipq806x-netgear_xr500-squashfs-factory.img

Note:

The end of the last partition is at 0xee00000. This was chosen
by the initial author, but nobody was able to tell why this
particular arbitrary size was chosen. Since it's not leaving
too much empty space and it's the only issue left, let's just
keep it for now.

README.md

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!

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

  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.

Related Repositories

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).
