The NanoBeam is a small AR9342 based directional 5 GHz AC CPE with hardware
almost identical to the Ubiquiti NanoStation AC loco. Over the NanoStation
AC loco it has 5 additional LEDs. Four of those LEDs are used as rssi
indicators, the fifth LED is used as an ethernet link/activity indicator.
CPU: Atheros AR9342 SoC
RAM: 64 MB DDR2
Flash: 16 MB NOR SPI
WLAN: QCA988X
Ports: 1x GbE
Flashing procedure is identical to the NanoStation AC loco and can be performed
either via serial or the factory firmware upgrade.
Serial flashing:
1. Connect to serial header on device (8N1 115200)
2. Power on device and enter uboot console
3. Set up tftp server serving an openwrt initramfs build
4. Load initramfs build using the command tftpboot in the uboot cli
5. Boot the loaded image using the command bootm
6. Copy squashfs openwrt sysupgrade build to the booted device
7. Use mtd to write sysupgrade to partition "firmware"
8. Reboot and enjoy
Flashing through factory firmware:
1. Ensure firmware version v8.5.0.36727 is installed. Up/downgrade to this exact version.
2. Patch fwupdate.real binary using `hexdump -Cv /bin/ubntbox | sed 's/14 40 fe fe/00 00 00 00/g' | hexdump -R > /tmp/fwupdate.real`
3. Make the patched fwupdate.real binary executable using `chmod +x /tmp/fwupdate.real`
4. Copy the squashfs factory image to /tmp on the device
5. Flash OpenWRT using `/tmp/fwupdate.real -m <squashfs-factory image>`
6. Wait for the device to reboot

The Mikrotik RouterBOARD SXT 2nD r3 is an outdoor WiFi AP / CPE
with a single 2.4 GHz radio and a 100 Mbps Ethernet port.
The device similar to the SXT 2nD r2, but it has SPI NOR flash instead
of NAND flash.

ath10k_pci driver crashes once loaded and causes boot loops on this
device as 5GHz radio QCA9880-AR1A shipped with this router is broken.
It's not possible to fix this problem in software, miniPCIe radio has to
be replaced.
We could've probably fixed crashing of the ath10k driver by reverting
following upstream commit:
commit 1a7fecb766c83dace747f42b25bbb544b00a0163
Author: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@tieto.com>
Date: Sat Jan 24 12:14:48 2015 +0200
ath10k: reset chip before reading chip_id in probe
but it's not worth the effort as it wouldn't make that 5GHz radio usable
anyway. So it seems more convenient to just remove the crashing driver
and provide bootable images, as I believe, that a router that is working
but degraded is better than a router that will not work.
For details please see discussions in PR[1] and in FS#1743[2].

Added basic support to get the device up and running for a sysupgrade
image only.
There is currently no way back to factory firmware, so this is a one-way
street to OpenWRT.
Install from factory condition is convoluted, and may brick your device:
1) Enable SSH and disable the CLI on the factory device from the web user
interface (Management->Advanced)
2) Reboot the device
3) Override the default, limited SSH shell:
a) Get into the ssh shell:
ssh admin@192.168.1.1 /bin/sh --login
b) Change the dropbear script to disable the limited shell. At the
empty command prompt type:
sed -i '/login_ssh/s/^/#/g’ dropbear
/etc/init.d/dropbear restart
exit
4) ssh in to a (now-) normal OpenWRT SSH session
5) Flash your built image
a) scp openwrt-ipq40xx-engenius_ens620ext-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
admin@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
b) ssh admin@192.168.1.1
c) sysupgrade -n
/tmp/openwrt-ipq40xx-engenius_ens620ext-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
6) After flash completes (it may say "Upgrade failed" followed by
"Upgrade completed") and device reboots, log in to newly flashed
system. Note you will now need to ssh as root rather than admin.

jjPlus JA76PF2 (marketed as IntellusPro2) is a network embedded board.
Specification
SoC: Atheros AR7161
RAM: 64 MB DDR
Flash: 16 MB SPI NOR
Ethernet: 2x 10/100/1000 Mbps AR8316
LAN (CN11), WAN/PoE (CN6 - close to power barrel
connector, 48 V)
MiniPCI: 2x
LEDS: 4x, which 3 are GPIO controlled
Buttons: 2x GPIO controlled
Reset (SW1, closer to ethernet ports), WPS (SW2)
Serial: 1x (only RX and TX are wired)
baud: 115200, parity: none, flow control: none
Currently there is one caveat compared to ar71xx target images as the
MAC addresses are random on every reboot. To remedy this one needs to
store the WAN MAC address in RedBoot configuration. OpenWrt on first
boot, after flashing, will read out the address and assign proper ones
to both WAN and LAN ports. It is iportant to NOT keep the old
configuration when doing sysupgrade from ar71xx.
Upgrading from OpenWrt ar71xx image
1. Connect to serial port,
2. Download OpenWrt sysupgrade image to /tmp directory and flash it
with:
sysupgrade -n <openwrt_sysupgrade_image_name>
3. After writing new image OpenWrt will reboot, now interrupt boot
process and enter RedBoot (bootloader) command line by pressing
Ctrl+C,
4. Enter following commands (replace variable accordingly),
set_mac (to view MAC addresses)
alias ethaddr <wan_port_mac_adress>
(confirm storing the value by inputting y and pressing Enter)
reset
5. Now board should restart and boot OpenWrt with proper MAC addresses.
Installation
1. Prepare TFTP server with OpenWrt initramfs image,
2. Connect to WAN ethernet port,
3. Connect to serial port,
4. Power on the board and enter RedBoot (bootloader) command line by
pressing Ctrl+C,
5. Enter following commands (replace variables accordingly):

(confirm storing the value by inputting y and pressing Enter)
ip_adress -l <board_ip_adress>/24 -h <tftp_server_ip_adress>
load -r -b 0x80060000 <openwrt_initramfs_image_name>
exec -c ""
6. Now board should boot OpenWrt initramfs image,
7. Download OpenWrt sysupgrade image to /tmp directory and flash it
with:
sysupgrade <openwrt_sysupgrade_image_name>
8. Wait few minutes, after the D2 LED will stop blinking, the board
is ready for configuration.

In PR [1] introducing initial support for Ubiquiti RouterStation boards,
Mathias Kresin suggested to replace the combined sysupgrade image with
tarball generated by sysupgrade-tar.sh. This would simplify deployment
of sysupgrade as the kernel size (needed to update FIS partition) could
be simply calculated on the fly instead of reading value from combined
image header. Unfortunately this would break sysupgrade compatibility
between ar71xx image and ath79 image. Therefore this commit creates
migration path to use new sysuprade image, it adds code to accept both
of them at this moment. The plan is to keep it until new stable version
is released. Then the image recipe should be changed to new format and
compatibility code for old image removed.

It is unused by default and upstream is trying to remove it as it has
negative effects when the driver is under load. Upstream explanation:
netpoll: avoid capture effects for NAPI drivers
As diagnosed by Song Liu, ndo_poll_controller() can
be very dangerous on loaded hosts, since the cpu
calling ndo_poll_controller() might steal all NAPI
contexts (for all RX/TX queues of the NIC).
This capture, showing one ksoftirqd eating all cycles
can last for unlimited amount of time, since one
cpu is generally not able to drain all the queues under load.
It seems that all networking drivers that do use NAPI
for their TX completions, should not provide a ndo_poll_controller() :
Most NAPI drivers have netpoll support already handled
in core networking stack, since netpoll_poll_dev(
uses poll_napi(dev) to iterate through registered
NAPI contexts for a device.

We currently generate a kernel that boots from the harddrive
in the DIR-685. That's not how we usually do things, so
let's augment it to boot from flash and mount the rootfs
using squashfs and JFFS2 like everyone else.
Partition splitting only work when the partitions are
inside of a "partitions" node which is why we have a patch
like this (submitted upstream).
Another patch drops the rootfs arguments and renames the
firmware partition while adding the compatible "wrg"
to it so the WRGG parser will kick in.
Factory image was tested by bravely reflashing the DIR-685
from stock firmware using the web UI and the serial console
boot loader.

The WRGG images exist in both big and little endian variants,
as can be seen from the image generator in
tools/firmware-utils/src/mkwrggimg.c, you either pass
the "-b" flag or not. The D-Link DIR-685 is using little
endian images so we need to support splitting these.
Detect endianness like this: if the kernel entity size
gets silly big (bigger than the flash memory) we are
probably using the wrong endianness.
Example: my kernel of 0x0067ff64 was switched around by
wrong endianness and detected as 0x64ff67a0 (the actual
size in swapped endianness + header 0xa0).

Partition layout and boot:
Stock Xiaomi firmware has the MTD split into (among others)
- kernel0 (@0x200000)
- kernel1 (@0x600000)
- rootfs0
- rootfs1
- overlay (ubi)
Xiaomi uboot expects to find kernels at 0x200000 & 0x600000
referred to as system 1 & system 2 respectively.
a kernel is considered suitable for handing control over
if its linux magic number exists & uImage CRC are correct.
If either of those conditions fail, a matching sys'n'_fail flag
is set in uboot env & a restart performed in the hope that the
alternate kernel is okay.
If neither kernel checksums ok and both are marked failed, system 2
is booted anyway.
Note uboot's tftp flash install writes the transferred
image to both kernel partitions.
Installation:
Similar to the Xiaomi MIR3G, we keep stock Xiaomi firmware in
kernel0 for ease of recovery, and install OpenWRT into kernel1 and
after.
The installation file for OpenWRT is a *squashfs-factory.bin file that
contains the kernel and a ubi partition. This is flashed as follows:
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=1
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
dd if=factory.bin bs=1M count=4 | mtd write - kernel1
dd if=factory.bin bs=1M skip=4 | mtd write - rootfs0
reboot
Reverting to stock:
The part of stock firmware we've kept in kernel0 allows us to run stock
recovery, which will re-flash stock firmware from a *.bin file on a USB.
For this we do the following:
fw_setenv flag_try_sys1_failed 0
fw_setenv flag_try_sys2_failed 1
reboot
After reboot the LED status light will blink red, at which point pressing
the 'reset' button will cause stock firmware to be installed from USB.
Issues:
OpenWRT currently does not have support for the MT7615 wifi chips. There is
ongoing work to add mt7615 support to the open source mt76 driver. Until that
support is in place, there are closed-source kernel modules that can be used.

OpenWrt is preinstalled from factory. To install use <your-image>-sysupgade.bin
using the web interface or with sysupgrade -n.
Flash from bootloader (in case failsafe does not work)
1. Connect the LibreRouter with a serial adapter (TTL voltage) to the UART
header in the board.
2. Connect an ETH cable and configure static ip addres 192.168.1.10/24
3. Turn on the device and stop the bootloader sending any key through the serial
interface.
4. Use a TFTP server to serve <your image>-sysupgrade.bin file.
5. Execute the following commands at the bootloader prompt:
ath> tftp 82000000 <your image>-sysupgrade.bin
ath> erase 0x9f050000 +$filesize
ath> cp.b 0x82000000 0x9f050000 $filesize
ath> bootm 0x9f050000

This removes the 'cs-gpios' property from the AVM FRITZ!Box 7530 NAND
controller node. As pointed out by Christian Lamparter, the property is
not needed by the Qualcomm NAND controller driver.

This patch fixes a problem that was discovered during DSA
development. On the MR33, the link change events from the
external AR8035-PHY would never make it to the qca8k driver.
The issue turned out to be a misplaced memcpy that was copying
over the zero-initialized irq table, when it should have been
set to PHY_POLL. Hence this patch moves the memcpy after the
array has been initialized.

ALFA Network Tube-E4G is an outdoor, dual-SIM LTE Cat. 4 CPE, based on
MediaTek MT7620A, equipped with Quectel EC25 miniPCIe modem.
Specification:
- MT7620A (580 MHz)
- 64/128/256 MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 16/32 MB of flash (SPI NOR)
- 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, with passive PoE support (24 V)
- 1x miniPCIe slot (with PCIe and USB 2.0 buses)
- 2x SIM slot (mini, micro) with detect and switch driven by GPIO
- 1x detachable antenna (modem main)
- 1x internal antenna (modem div)
- 1x GPS passive antenna (optional)
- 5x LED (all driven by GPIO)
- 1x button (reset)
- UART (4-pin, 2.54 mm pitch) header on PCB
Other:
Default SIM slot is selected at an early stage by U-Boot, based on
'default_sim' environment value: 1 or unset = SIM1 (mini), 2 = SIM2
(micro). U-Boot also resets the modem, using #PERST signal, before
starting kernel.
Flash instruction:
You can use the 'sysupgrade' image directly in vendor firmware which is
based on OpenWrt (make sure to not preserve settings - use 'sysupgrade
-n -F ...' command). Alternatively, use web recovery mode in U-Boot:
1. Power the device with reset button pressed, the LAN LED will start
blinking slowly and after ~3 seconds, when it starts blinking faster,
you can release the button.
2. Setup static IP 192.168.1.2/24 on your PC.
3. Go to 192.168.1.1 in browser and upload 'sysupgrade' image.

This disables PL010 and 8250 serial support for this platform
as both drivers are not used: the debug UART is PL011 and the
application UARTs use a dedicated MXS specific driver.
The kernel size reduction is neglectable, but it also removes
the non-working (confusing) /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyS1 devices
in a running system (which generate errors when trying to use):
root@OpenWrt:~# echo "hello world" > /dev/ttyS0
ash: write error: I/O error
root@OpenWrt:~#
