Hang Zhou e451957166 ramips: add support for D-Link Dir-853 A1
Specifications:
* SoC: MT7621AT
* RAM: 256MB (NT5CC64M16GP-DI)
* Flash: 16MB NOR SPI flash (GD25Q127CSIG, using GD25Q128C driver)
* WiFi: MT7615DN (2.4GHz+5Ghz) with DBDC
* Ethernet: 4x1000M LAN, 1x 1000M WAN
* LEDs: Power Blue+Orange,Wan Blue+Orange,WPS Blue,"2.4G"Blue, "5G" Blue,
  USB Blue
* Buttons: Reset,WPS, Wifi
* Serial interface: on board but not populated, pinout (from the DC jack
side to the WAN port side) is "3.3V Input Output Gnd". Baud rate is 57600,
settings are 8 data bits, no parity bit, one stop bit, and no flow control.

Stock flash layout:
```
GD25Q128C(c8 40180000) (16384 Kbytes)
mtd .name = raspi, .size = 0x01000000 (16M) .erasesize = 0x00010000 (64K)
.numeraseregions = 0
Creating 7 MTD partitions on "raspi":
0x000000000000-0x000001000000 : "ALL"
0x000000000000-0x000000030000 : "Bootloader"
0x000000030000-0x000000040000 : "Config"
0x000000040000-0x000000050000 : "Factory"
0x000000050000-0x000000060000 : "Config2"
0x000000060000-0x000000fb0000 : "Kernel"
0x000000fb0000-0x000001000000 : "Private"
```
The kernel partition will be replaced with the OpenWrt image, the other
partitions are left untouched.

"Config2" seems to be the config storage used by the stock firmware.

"Private" is a 320kB empty JFFS2 partition that comes with the stock
firmware. One can get a larger space for OpenWrt by merging it with
"Kernel".

OpenWrt flash layout:
```
0x000000000000-0x000000030000 : "u-boot"
0x000000030000-0x000000040000 : "u-boot-env"
0x000000040000-0x000000050000 : "factory"
0x000000050000-0x000000060000 : "config2_stock"
0x000000060000-0x000000fb0000 : "firmware"
0x000000fb0000-0x000001000000 : "private_stock"
```

The OpenWrt image must have 96 bytes of padding in the header.

MAC addresses on OEM firmware:
|      		| location on the flash 	| notes    	|
|------		|-----------------------	|----------	|
| lan (eth2) 	| factory + 0xe000      	| on label 	|
| wan (eth3) 	| factory + 0xe006      	|          	|
| 2.4g (rax0) 	| not on flash          	| lan + 1  	|
| 5g (ra0) 	| not on flash          	| lan + 2  	|

Mac addresses of the 2.4g and 5g interface are stored as ASCII strings in
the u-boot-env partition, but they are not used. OpenWrt calculates
Wifi Mac addresses based on the LAN Mac.

Flash and test instructions:
Flash the encrypted image (available in the OpenWrt forum) through the
stock D-Dink web interface.

1. Open the case, and solder the 4-pin header near the WAN port.
2. Connect it to a USB-UART TTL (3.3V) adapter, no need to connect VCC.
3. Open a terminal emulator (e.g. `screen /dev/ttyUSB0` on linux) with
the settings mentioned above.
4. Setup a TFTP server on your PC that can serve
`xxx-ramips-mt7621-dlink_dir-853-a1-initramfs-kernel.bin`.
5. Connect any LAN port to your PC and set a static IPv4 address to
192.168.0.101 (netmask 255.255.255.0).
6. Power on the device and keeps pressing 1 until you see the prompt.
7. Use default IP addresses and enter the file name accordingly, then hit
enter.
8. Wait until it boots to OpenWrt, the default IP address is 192.168.1.1,
you need to change your PC network adapter to use DHCP in order to access
LUCI.
9. So far, the OpenWrt runs in RAM and the flash contents are not touched.
You can try OpenWrt without having to overwrite the stock firmware, a
reboot clears all changes.
10. Optionally, backup the stock firmware (the "firmware" partition) in
Luci.
11. To permantly install OpenWrt to the device , click
on "System -> Backup/Flash Firmware" in Luci and flash
`xxx-ramips-mt7621-dlink_dir-853-a1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin`

Known problems:
* WLAN0 defaults to 5G after a fresh installation, to enable 2.4G network,
you need to config it manually in LUCI.

* If you see jffs2 related warnings/errors after updating from the stock
web interface, you need to do a reset in LUCI. The error will be gone after
a cold reboot.

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 python3.6+ 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).
