Flash instruction using initramfs image:

1. Prepare TFTP server with IP address 192.168.11.10
2. Rename OpenWrt initramfs image to "WXR-5950AX12-initramfs.uImage and
   place it to TFTP directory
3. Hold AOSS (WPS) button and power on WXR-5950AX12
4. WXR-5950AX12 downloads initramfs image from TFTP server and boots
   with it automatically
5. Upload sysupgrade image to WXR-5950AX12 and perform sysupgrade
6. Wait ~120 seconds to complete flashing

0x000009180000-0x000010000000 : "user_property"

Notes:

- WXR-5950AX12 has 2x OS images on NAND flash. The 1st image is for
  normal operation and the 2nd one is for recoverying or firmware
  upgrading on stock.

- Stock U-Boot checks MD5 hashes in "fw_hash" volume in each "root*"
  partition when booting. This is just a comparation of hash strings.

  Behaviors:

  - both "fw_hash" volumes exist, hashes are rootfs == rootfs_recover
    ---> boot from rootfs

  - both "fw_hash" volumes exist, hashes are rootfs != rootfs_recover
    ---> boot from rootfs_recover

    Note: this behavior is used for firmware upgrading on stock

  - "fw_hash" volume in rootfs is missing
    ---> boot from rootfs_recover

  - "fw_hash" volume in rootfs_recover is missing
    ---> boot from rootfs

  - "fw_hash" volumes in both root* partition are missing
    ---> boot from rootfs_recover

Reverting to stock firmware:

1. Decrypt official image by buffalo-enc and remove header

   example of decryption:

   $ buffalo-enc -i wxr_5950ax12_jp_305 -o wxr_5950ax12_jp_305.dec \
                 -d -k olaffuB -O 0xc8

   example of removing header (v3.05):

   - before

   $ hexdump -n 64 -v -C wxr_5950ax12_jp_305.dec
   00000000  57 58 52 2d 35 39 35 30  41 58 31 32 5f 33 2e 30  |WXR-5950AX12_3.0|

   00000040

   - after

   $ hexdump -n 64 -v -C wxr_5950ax12_jp_305.ubi
   00000000  55 42 49 23 01 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |UBI#............|
   00000010  00 00 08 00 00 00 10 00  78 cf c4 91 00 00 00 00  |........x.......|
   00000020  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |................|
   00000030  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 3d 2a 64 fd  |............=*d.|
   00000040

2. Boot WXR-5950AX12 with OpenWrt initramfs image

3. Upload modified stock image to WXR-5950AX12

4. Find partitions "rootfs" and "rootfs_recover"

   example:

   root@OpenWrt:/# cat /proc/mtd
   dev:    size   erasesize  name
   ...
   mtd22: 04000000 00020000 "rootfs"
   mtd23: 04000000 00020000 "rootfs_recover"
   ...

   in this case, "rootfs" is mtd22 and "rootfs_recover" is mtd23

5. Format "rootfs"/"rootfs_recover" partition with the uploaded image

   example:

   ubiformat /dev/mtd22 -f /tmp/wxr_5950ax12_jp_305.ubi
   ubiformat /dev/mtd23 -f /tmp/wxr_5950ax12_jp_305.ubi

6. Remove "rootfs"/"rootfs_data" volume from user_property partition

   example:

   . /lib/upgrade/nand.sh
   UBI=$(nand_attach_ubi user_property)
   ubirmvol /dev/$UBI -N rootfs
   ubirmvol /dev/$UBI -N rootfs_data

7. Reboot

WAN    : 50:C4:DD:xx:xx:28 (0:APPSBLENV, ethaddr (text))
2.4 GHz: 50:C4:DD:xx:xx:30 (0:APPSBLENV, wlan0addr (text))

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).
