ath79: Add Aruba AP-175 support
This board is very similar to the Aruba AP-105, but is
outdoor-first. It is very similar to the MSR2000 (though certain
MSR2000 models have a different PHY[^1]).
A U-Boot replacement is required to install OpenWrt on these
devices[^2].
Specifications
--------------
* Device: Aruba AP-175
* SoC: Atheros AR7161 680 MHz MIPS
* RAM: 128MB - 2x Mira P3S12D40ETP
* Flash: 16MB MXIC MX25L12845EMI-10G (SPI-NOR)
* WiFi: 2 x DNMA-H92 Atheros AR9220-AC1A 802.11abgn
* ETH: IC+ IP1001 Gigabit + PoE PHY
* LED: 2x int., plus 12 ext. on TCA6416 GPIO expander
* Console: CP210X linking USB-A Port to CPU console @ 115200
* RTC: DS1374C, with internal battery
* Temp: LM75 temperature sensor
Factory installation:
- Needs a u-boot replacement. The process is almost identical to that
of the AP105, except that the case is easier to open, and that you
need to compile u-boot from a slightly different branch:
https://github.com/Hurricos/u-boot-ap105/tree/ap175
The instructions for performing an in-circuit reflash with an
SPI-Flasher like a CH314A can be found on the OpenWrt Wiki
(https://openwrt.org/toh/aruba/ap-105); in addition a detailed guide
may be found on YouTube[^3].
- Once u-boot has been replaced, a USB-A-to-A cable may be used to
connect your PC to the CP210X inside the AP at 115200 baud; at this
point, the normal u-boot serial flashing procedure will work (set up
networking; tftpboot and boot an OpenWrt initramfs; sysupgrade to
OpenWrt proper.)
- There is no built-in functionality to revert back to stock firmware,
because the AP-175 has been declared by the vendor[^4] end-of-life
as of 31 Jul 2020. If for some reason you wish to return to stock
firmware, take a backup of the 16MiB flash before flashing u-boot.
