ipq806x: add support for Nokia Airscale AC400i 
Hardware
--------

SoC:    Qualcomm IPQ8065
RAM:    512 MB DDR3
Flash:  256 MB NAND (Macronix MX30UF2G18AC) (split into 2x128MB)
        4 MB SPI-NOR (Macronix MX25U3235F)
WLAN:   Qualcomm Atheros QCA9984 - 2.4Ghz
        Qualcomm Atheros QCA9984 - 5Ghz
ETH:    eth0 - POE (100Mbps in U-Boot, 1000Mbps in OpenWrt)
        eth1 - (1000Mbps in both)
        Auto-negotiation broken on both.
USB:    USB 2.0
LED:    5G, 2.4G, ETH1, ETH2, CTRL, PWR (All support green and red)
BTN:    Reset
Other:  SD card slot (non-functional)
Serial: 115200bps, near the Ethernet transformers, labeled 9X.
        Connections from the arrow to the 9X text:
		[NC] - [TXD] - [GND] - [RXD] - [NC]

Installation
------------

0. Connect to the device
Plug your computer into LAN2 (1000Mbps connection required).
If you use the LAN1/POE port, set your computer to force a 100Mbps link.

Connect to the device via TTL (Serial) 115200n8.
Locate the header (or solder pads) labeled 9X,
near the Ethernet jacks/transformers.
There should be an arrow on the other side of the header marking.
The connections should go like this:
(from the arrow to the 9X text): NC - TXD - GND - RXD - NC

1. Prepare for installation
While the AP is powering up, interrupt the startup process.
MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR CURRENT PARTITION!

If you see: "Current Partition is : partB" or
"Need to switch partition from partA to partB",
you have to force the device into partA mode, before continuing.
This can be done by changing the PKRstCnt to 5 and resetting the device.

setenv PKRstCnt 5
saveenv
reset

After you interrupt the startup process again,
you should see: Need to switch partition from partB to partA

You can now continue to the next step.

If you see: "Current Partition is : partA",
you can continue to the next step.

2. Prevent partition switching.
To prevent the device from switching partitions,
we are going to modify the startup command.
set bootcmd "setenv PKRstCnt 0; saveenv; bootipq"
setenv

3. First boot
Now, we have to boot the OpenWrt intifs.
The easiest way to do this is by using Tiny PXE.
You can also use the normal U-Boot tftp method.

Run "bootp" this will get an IP from the DHCP server
and possibly the firmware image.
If it doesn't download the firmware image, run "tftpboot".

Now run "bootm" to run the image.

You might see:
"ERROR: new format image overwritten - must RESET the board to recover"
this means that the image you are trying to load is too big.
Use a smaller image for the initial boot.

4. Install OpenWrt from initfs
Once you are booted into OpenWrt,
transfer the OpenWrt upgrade image and
use sysupgrade to install OpenWrt to the device.

README.md

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.

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.

  • 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).
