Martin Kennedy af9dee336d ath79: add support for Meraki MR16 
Port device support for Meraki MR16 from the ar71xx target to ath79.

Specifications:

  * AR7161 CPU, 16 MiB Flash, 64 MiB RAM
  * One PoE-capable Gigabit Ethernet Port
  * AR9220 / AR9223 (2x2 11an / 11n) WLAN

Installation:

  * Requires TFTP server at 192.168.1.101, w/ initramfs & sysupgrade .bins
  * Open shell case and connect a USB to TTL cable to upper serial headers
  * Power on the router; connect to U-boot over 115200-baud connection
  * Interrupt U-boot process to boot Openwrt by running:
       setenv bootcmd bootm 0xbf0a0000; saveenv;
       tftpboot 0c00000 <filename-of-initramfs-kernel>.bin;
       bootm 0c00000;
  * Copy sysupgrade image to /tmp on MR16
  * sysupgrade /tmp/<filename-of-sysupgrade>.bin

Notes:

  - There are two separate ARTs in the partition (offset 0x1000/0x5000 and
    0x11000/0x15000) in the OEM device. I suspect this is an OEM artifact;
    possibly used to configure the radios for different regions,
    circumstances or RF frontends. Since the ar71xx target uses the
    second offsets, use that second set (0x11000 and 0x15000) for the ART.

  - kmod-owl-loader is still required to load the ART partition into the
    driver.

  - The manner of storing MAC addresses is updated from ar71xx; it is
    at 0x66 of the 'config' partition, where it was discovered that the
    OEM firmware stores it. This is set as read-only. If you are
    migrating from ar71xx and used the method mentioned above to
    upgrade, use kmod-mtd-rw or UCI to add the MAC back in. One more
    method for doing this is described below.

  - Migrating directly from ar71xx has not been thoroughly tested, but
    one method has been used a couple of times with good success,
    migrating 18.06.2 to a full image produced as of this commit. Please
    note that these instructions are only for experienced users, and/or
    those still able to open their device up to flash it via the serial
    headers should anything go wrong.

    1) Install kmod-mtd-rw and uboot-envtools
    2) Run `insmod mtd-rw.ko i_want_a_brick=1`
    3) Modify /etc/fw_env.config to point to the u-boot-env partition.
       The file /etc/fw_env.config should contain:

       # MTD device   env offset  env size    sector size
       /dev/mtd1      0x00000     0x10000     0x10000

       See https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/bootloader/uboot.config
       for more details.

    4) Run `fw_printenv` to verify everything is correct, as per the
       link above.
    5) Run `fw_setenv bootcmd bootm 0xbf0a0000` to set a new boot address.
    6) Manually modify /lib/upgrade/common.sh's get_image function:
       Change ...

       cat "$from" 2>/dev/null | $cmd

       ... into ...

       (
         dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=$((0x66)) ; # Pad the first 102 bytes
         echo -ne '\x00\x18\x0a\x12\x34\x56'  ; # Add in MAC address
         dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=$((0x20000-0x66-0x6)) ; # Pad the rest
         cat "$from" 2>/dev/null | $cmd
       )

       ... which, during the upgrade process, will pad the image by
       128K of zeroes-plus-MAC-address, in order for the ar71xx's
       firmware partition -- which starts at 0xbf080000 -- to be
       instead aligned with the ath79 firmware partition, which
       starts 128K later at 0xbf0a0000.

    7) Copy the sysupgrade image into /tmp, as above
    8) Run `sysupgrade -F /tmp/<sysupgrade>.bin`, then wait

    Again, this may BRICK YOUR DEVICE, so make *sure* to have your
    serial cable handy.

Addenda:

  - The MR12 should be able to be migrated in a nearly identical manner as
    it shares much of its hardware with the MR16.

  - Thank-you Chris B for copious help with this port.

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.

gcc binutils bzip2 flex python3 perl make find grep diff unzip gawk getopt
subversion libz-dev libc-dev

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.
