Valerio 'ftp21' Mancini b5df398a36 mediatek: add Zyxel EX5601-T0 with uboot custom partition
The flash procedure is similar to the Xiaomi AX6000 router.

Load openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb from original Zyxel U-Boot:

tftpboot openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb
bootm 0x46000000
Load mtd-rw
insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/mtd-rw.ko i_want_a_brick=1

Format ubi and create ubootenv partitions

ubidetach -p /dev/mtd5; ubiformat /dev/mtd5 -y; ubiattach -p /dev/mtd5
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 0 -N ubootenv -s 128KiB
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 1 -N ubootenv2 -s 128KiB
Copy openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb to /tmp and create recovery partition.
If your recovery image is larger than 10MiB, size the recovery partition accordingly to make it fit.

ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 2 -N recovery -s 10MiB
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_2  openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb
Copy preloader and uboot to /tmp and write them in the mtd

mtd write /tmp/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-preloader.bin bl2
mtd write /tmp/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-bl31-uboot.fip fip
Now write the firmware:
sysupgrade -n  /tmp/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb

To create a correct BL2, I had to add a profile for 'spim:4k+256' as I could not find a way to value the variable 'NAND_TYPE'.

Features and fixes from hitech95 tree has been squashed, I'm attaching his commit message:

The Power LED was not working correctly and not reacting
 to the boot process and statuses.

The board has space (footprint) for an unpopulated Zigbee chip,
 while we dont know the device model having this chip populated
 we have to assure that the common dts doesnt enable
 interfaces that share pins with such device.

In this instance the PCIe and the uart1 and uart2 are disabled.
Some of the control PCIE pins seems to be used for the Zigbee chip,
 UART1 seems to be used as a flash port while UART2 should be the
 main comunication interface of Zigbee chip.

The Zigbee chip should be a EFR32MG21. But the pins used for UART
 seems to be not on standard PINS used by other adapters.
 So it cannot run firmwares shared on the web.
 But it should be possible to build a custom firmware with
 the corrtect pinmux.

This commit also contains the following squashed commit from hitech95
 - mediatek: fix sysupgrade for Zyxel EX7601-T0 ubootmod

Changes and fixes added in common board:
 - added aliases for boot status leds.
 - added aliases for the mac-label-device.
 - added pin claims for core features (MDIO and UART 0)
 - added default LEDs configuration (01_leds)
 - added default network configuration (02_network)
 - added missing kmod-usb3 module for USB3
 - fixed LED names
 - fixed reset pin for SLIC chip
 - removed unused pinmux configurations and devices
 - fix LAN (switch) port numbering
 - using nvmem cells for wifi eeprom, dropping deprecated "mediatek,mtd-eeprom"
 - proper factory partition and mac address handling
 - cleaned up spi_nand sections and partition

Changes and fixxes added in stock layout:
 - added NMBM, if u-boot has it, the kernel must be informed.

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!

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 python3.7+ 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).
