Hardware
--------
CPU: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9563
RAM: 128M DDR2
FLASH: 16MB SPI-NOR
WiFi: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9563 2x2:2 802.11n 2.4GHz
Qualcomm Atheros QCA9880 2x2:2 802.11ac 5GHz
Antennas
--------
The device features internal antennas as well as external antenna
connectors. By default, the internal antennas are used.
Two GPIOs are exported by name, which can be used to control the
antenna-path mux. Writing a logical 0 enables the external antenna
connectors.
Installation
------------
1. Download the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the device. You can use scp
for this task. The default username and password are "ubnt" and the
device is reachable at 192.168.1.20.
$ scp -O openwrt-sysupgrade.bin ubnt@192.168.1.20:/tmp/firmware.bin
2. Connect to the device using SSH.
$ ssh ubnt@192.168.1.20
3. Disable the write-protect
$ echo "5edfacbf" > /proc/ubnthal/.uf
4. Verify kernel0 and kernel1 match mtd2 and mtd3
$ cat /proc/mtd
5. Write the sysupgrade image to kernel0 and kernel1
$ dd if=/tmp/firmware.bin of=/dev/mtdblock2
$ dd if=/tmp/firmware.bin of=/dev/mtdblock3
6. Write the bootselect flag to boot from kernel0
$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=1 of=/dev/mtd4
7. Reboot the device
$ reboot

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
-
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.
