Atheros DB120 reference board.
Specifications:
SoC: QCA9344
DRAM: 128Mb DDR2
Flash: 8Mb SPI-NOR, 128Mb NAND flash
Switch: 5x 10/100Mbps via AR8229 switch (integrated into SoC),
5x 10/100/1000Mbps via QCA8237 via RGMII
WLAN: AR9300 (SoC, 2.4G+5G) + AR9340 (PCIe, 5G-only)
USB: 1x 2.0
UART: standard QCA UART header
JTAG: yes
Button: 1x reset
LEDs: a lot
Slots: 2x mPCIe + 1x mini-PCI, but using them requires
additional undocumented changes.
Misc: The board allows to boot off NAND, and there is
I2S audio support as well - also requiring
additional undocumented changes.
Installation:
1. Original bootloader
Connect the board to ethernet
Set up a server with an IP address of 192.168.1.10
Make the openwrt-ath79-generic-atheros_db120-squashfs-factory.bin
available via TFTP
tftpboot 0x80060000 openwrt-ath79-generic-atheros_db120-squashfs-factory.bin
erase 0x9f050000 +$filesize
cp.b $fileaddr 0x9f050000 $filesize
2. pepe2k's u-boot_mod
Connect the board to ethernet
Set up a server with an IP address of 192.168.1.10
Make the openwrt-ath79-generic-atheros_db120-squashfs-factory.bin
available via TFTP, as "firmware.bin"
run fw_upg
Reboot the board.

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

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.
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.
