NEC Aterm WG2600HP is a 2.4/5 GHz band 11ac router, based on Qualcomm
IPQ8064.
Specification:
- IPQ8064 (384 - 1,400 MHz)
- 512 MB of RAM
- 32 MB of Flash (SPI)
- 4T4R 2.4/5 GHz
- 5x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
- 12x LEDs, 4x keys
- 1x USB 3.0 Type-A
- UART header on PCB
- RX, TX, NC, GND, Vcc from power connector side
- baudrate: 115200 bps
Flash instruction using initramfs image:
1. Connect serial cable to UART header
2. Connect power cable and turn on the router
3. When the "Press the [f] key and hit [enter] to enter failsafe mode"
message is displayed on the console, press the "f" key and Enter key
sequentially to enter the failsafe mode
4. create fw_env.config file with following contents on failsafe mode:
/dev/mtd9 0x0 0x10000 0x10000
5. Execute following commands to add and change the environment
variables of U-Boot
fw_setenv ipaddr "192.168.0.1"
fw_setenv serverip "192.168.0.2"
fw_setenv autostart "yes"
fw_setenv bootcmd "tftpboot 0x44000000 wg2600hp-initramfs.bin;
bootipq"
6. Set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.0.2, connect to the LAN
port of WG2600HP, and start the TFTP server on the computer
7. Rename OpenWrt initramfs image for WG2600HP to
"wg2600hp-initramfs.bin" and place it in the TFTP directory
8. Remove power cable from WG2600HP, reconnect it and restart WG2600HP
9. WG2600HP downloads initramfs image from TFTP server on the computer,
loads it and boot with initramfs image
10. On the initramfs image, execute "mtd erase firmware" to erase stock
firmware and execute sysupgrade with the sysupgrade image
11. Wait ~180 seconds to complete flashing

Hardware highlights:
- SoC: Qualcomm Atheros IPQ8064/5 ARM Dual Core CPU
- RAM: (512MB or 1GB) DDR3 System Memory
- Storage: 32MB NOR (Cypress S25FL256S1)
256MB NAND (Micron MT29F2G08ABBEAH4)
- Ethernet: 5 x 1G via QCA8337N
- USB: 1 x USB 2.0/3.0 + 1 x USB 2.0 on mini PCIe3 socket
- PCIe: 3x mini PCIe (third mini PCIE3 is PCIe/USB shared)
- SIM Card Slot: 2 x Slot
- Buttons: Reset Button
- LEDs: 18x, 8x GPIO controllable
- Buzzer
The correct amount of RAM will be passed by the bootloader.
In contrast to the documentation provided by Compex, the third PCIe
doesn't use GPIO16 for PERST. Instead, GPIO3 is shared and used as PERST
for PCIe0 and PCIe2.
So far, no one was able to get USB 3.0 working with the 1GB RAM version,
while it works fine for my 512MB version. Since USB 3.0 doesn't work with
the Compex firmware for the 1G variant either, it could be a hardware
issue with these boards.
OpenWrt will be installed to the NAND flash. Make sure to have a full
working image on the NOR flash. It will be the backup in case anything
goes wrong.
It has been observed that an image loaded via tftpboot might have
bitflips. Hence the extra step to create a crc32 checksum to allow to
compare the checksum with the one from the source file prior to flashing.
In all cases it is necessary to set the following u-boot parameter to an
empty (whitespace) value, to ensure that the chosen bootargs of the dts
isn't overwritten or set to bogus - not working - values:
(IPQ) # set bootargs " "
(IPQ) # set fsbootargs " "
(IPQ) # saveenv
The sysupgrade image can be installed directly on flash using u-boot (put
jumper in JP13 (leave JP9 open) to boot from nand):
(IPQ) # set serverip 192.168.1.20
(IPQ) # set ipaddr 192.168.1.1
(IPQ) # tftpboot 0x42000000 openwrt-ipq806x-compex_wpq864-squashfs-nand-factory.bin
(IPQ) # crc32 0x42000000 $filesize
(IPQ) # nand erase 0x1340000 0x4000000
(IPQ) # nand write 0x42000000 0x1340000 $filesize
The initramfs image can be started using:
(IPQ) # set fdt_high 0x48000000
(IPQ) # tftpboot 0x44000000 openwrt-ipq806x-compex_wpq864-initramfs-fit-uImage.itb
(IPQ) # bootm 0x44000000

Use the generic board detection method:
- Board name: First compatible string from the device tree
- Board model: Model property from the device tree
Change occurrences of board name in userspace by the compatible
string, and removed target specific board detection script
Replace the definition of SUPPORTED_DEVICES in Device/Default
to extract the dt compatible string from each device definition.
Additionally, for devices supported by lede-17.01, append
the value of BOARD_NAME to SUPPORTED_DEVICES in the device
definition.

Depending on busybox applet selection, paths of basic utiilties may differ,
and may not work as symlinks to busybox. Simply using whatever binary is
found in PATH and detecting symlinks automatically is more robust and
easier to maintain.
The list of binaries is also slightly cleaned up and duplicates are
removed.

This patch adds support for AVM FRITZ!Box 4040.
hardware highlights:
SOC: IPQ4018 / QCA Dakota
CPU: Quad-Core ARMv7 Processor rev 5 (v7l) Cortex-A7
DRAM: 256 MiB Nanya NT5CC128M16IP
FLASH: 32 MiB MXIC MX25L25635FMI
ETH: Qualcomm Atheros QCA8075 Gigabit Switch (4 x LAN, 1 x WAN)
USB: 1 x 3.0 (via Synopsys DesignWare DWC3 controller in the SoC)

INPUT: one WLAN and one WPS button
LEDS: Power, WAN/Internet, WIFI, INFO (red and amber) and LAN.
Serial:
WARNING: The serial port needs a TTL/RS-232 v3.3 level converter!
The Serial setting is 115200-8-N-1. The SoC's serial port is right
next to the MXIC FLASH chip. The board has a unpopulated 1x4 0.1"
header for it. Use a multimeter to figure out the pinout!
This board currently needs an additional u-boot image in order to boot
properly. Booting with EVA isn't possible ATM.
Install Procedure:
0. It's highly recommended to connect to the serial port.
The serial settings are listed above.
1. install a u-boot image for AVM Fritz!Box 4040
(see <https://github.com/chunkeey/FritzBox-4040-UBOOT/releases> and
<https://github.com/chunkeey/FritzBox-4040-UBOOT/blob/master/upload-to-f4040.sh>)
2. upload the initramfs.itb image via tftp (u-boot listens to
192.168.1.1 - use binary transfer mode!)
3. connect to the FB4040 and use sysupgrade sysupgrade.bin
to install the image.
Works:
- Switch and Ethernet (99%)
- Buttons (WLAN, WPS)
- FLASH (1 x 32MiB NOR Chip)
- WLAN2G and WLAN5G
- CPUFREQ scaling
- PRNG
- serial
- Crypto Accelerator
- sysupgrade (Read the flash instructions to avoid bricking)
- full LEDE Install (Read the flash instructions to avoid bricking)
- LEDs (Power, WAN, Info (red and amber), LAN)
The LEDs are connected to the QCA8075 LED ports.
The AR40xx driver contains a gpio-controller to
handle these special "GPIOs".
- USB Both 3.0 and 2.0 ports
- many packages from other ARMv7 boards
(This does include the RaspberryPi Model 2!)
- ...
Not planned:
- WAN<->LAN short-cut
- Qualcomm Secure Execution Environment
- ...

This router is similar to the C2600. Ethernet on WAN + LAN, switch,
sysupgrade, LEDs, buttons and WiFi on 2G + 5G do work. The xDSL modem
and the POTS/DECT interface are not supported yet.
It is not possible to flash LEDE via the TP-Link webinterface. The
image need to be signed. The first 0x200 bytes of the image is the
TP-Link header including the signature. The signature is not validated
by the bootloader. The LEDE image is zeroed in this area.
To install LEDE it is necessary to solder a four pin header to JP2.
Connect a serial interface to this header and interrupt the autostart
of kernel. Transfer the sysupgrade image via TFTP and write it to the
serial flash at 0x320000.

We're in process of cleaning nand_do_platform_check. Currently is leaves
a special mark in /tmp/sysupgrade-nand-path triggering some diffent code
path in nand_upgrade_stage1. This can be a bit confusing.
The plan is to have the check function only check the image and nothing
else. Then platform code (platform_pre_upgrade) should trigger NAND
specific upgrade path. This is what this patch implements.
This follows ar71xx, lantiq and partially bcm53xx.
