SOC: Qualcomm IPQ4019 WiFi 1: QCA4019 IEEE 802.11b/g/n WiFi 2: QCA4019 IEEE 802.11a/n/ac WiFi 3: QCA8888 IEEE 802.11a/n/ac Bluetooth: Qualcomm CSR8811 (A12U) Zigbee: Silicon Labs EM3581 NCP + Skyworks SE2432L Ethernet: Qualcomm Atheros QCA8072 (2-port) Flash 1: Mactronix MX30LF4G18AC-XKI RAM (NAND): SK hynix H5TC4G63CFR-PBA (512MB) LED Controller: NXP PCA9633 (I2C) Buttons: Single reset button (GPIO). - The three WiFis were fully tested and are configured with the same settings as in the vendor firmware. - The specific board files were submitted to the ATH10k mailing list but I'm still waiting for a reply. They can be removed once they are approved upstream. - Two ethernet ports are accessible on the device. By default one is configured as WAN and the other one is LAN. They are fully working. Bluetooth: ======== - Fully working with the following caveats: - RFKILL need to be enabled in the kernel. - An older version of bluez is needed as bccmd is needed to configure the chip. Zigbee: ====== - The spidev device is available in the /dev directory. - GPIOs are configured the same way as in the vendor firmware. - Tests are on-going. I am working on getting access to the Silicon Labs stack to validate that it is fully working. Installation: ========= The squash-factory image can be installed via the Linksys Web UI: 1. Open "http://192.168.1.1/ca" (Change the IP with the IP of your device). 2. Login with your admin password. 3. To enter into the support mode, click on the "CA" link and the bottom of the page. 4. Open the "Connectivity" menu and upload the squash-factory image with the "Choose file" button. 5. Click start. Ignore all the prompts and warnings by click "yes" in all the popups. The device uses a dual partition mechanism. The device automatically revert to the previous partition after 3 failed boot attempts. If you want to force the previous firmware to load, you can turn off and then turn on the device for 2 seconds, 3 times in a row. It can also be done via TFTP: 1. Setup a local TFTP server and configure its IP to 192.168.1.100. 2. Rename your image to "nodes_v2.img" and put it to the TFTP root of your server. 3. Connect to the device through the serial console. 4. Power on device and press enter when prompted to drop into U-Boot. 5. Flash the partition of your choice by typing "run flashimg" or "run flashimg2". 6. Once flashed, enter "reset" to reboot the device.

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.

Download
Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.
If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.
An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:
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
-
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.
