Michael Pratt 74516f4357 ramips: fix reboot for remaining 32 MB boards
The following devices have a Winbond W25Q256FV flash chip,
which does not have the RESET pin enabled by default,
and otherwise would require setting a bit in a status register.

Before moving to Linux 5.4, we had the patch:
0053-mtd-spi-nor-add-w25q256-3b-mode-switch.patch
which kept specific flash chips with explicit 3-byte and 4-byte address modes
to stay in 3-byte address mode while idle (after an erase or write)
by using a custom flag SPI_NOR_4B_READ_OP that was part of the patch.

this was obsoleted by the patch:
481-mtd-spi-nor-rework-broken-flash-reset-support.patch
which uses the newer upstream flag SNOR_F_BROKEN_RESET
for devices with a flash chip that cannot be hardware reset with RESET pin
and therefore must be left in 3-byte address mode when idle.

The new patch requires that the DTS of affected devices
have the property "broken-flash-reset", which was not yet added for most of them.

This commit adds the property for remaining affected devices in ramips target,
specifically because of the flash chip model.

However, it is possible that there are other devices
where the flash chip uses an explicit 4-byte address mode
and the RESET pin is not connected to the SOC on the board,
and those DTS would also need this property.

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.

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).
