ath79: add support for Ubiquiti PowerBeam M2 (XW)
This patch adds support for the Ubiquiti PowerBeam M2 (XW), e.g. PBE-M2-400, a 802.11n wireless with a feed+dish form factor. This device was previously supported by the ar71xx loco-m-xw firmware. Specifications: - Atheros AR9342 SoC - 64 MB RAM - 8 MB SPI flash - 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port, 24 Vdc PoE-in - Power and LAN green LEDs - 4x RSSI LEDs (red, orange, green, green) - UART (115200 8N1) Flashing via stock GUI: - Downgrade to AirOS v5.5.x (latest available is 5.5.10-u2) first (see https://openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/powerbeam installation instructions) - Upload the factory image via AirOS web GUI. Flashing via TFTP: - Use a pointy tool (e.g., unbent paperclip) to keep the reset button pressed. - Power on the device (keep reset button pressed). - Keep pressing until LEDs flash alternatively LED1+LED3 => LED2+LED4 => LED1+LED3, etc. - Release reset button. - The device starts a TFTP server at 192.168.1.20. - Set a static IP on the computer (e.g., 192.168.1.21/24). - Upload via tftp the factory image: $ tftp 192.168.1.20 tftp> bin tftp> trace tftp> put openwrt-ath79-generic-ubnt_powerbeam-m2-xw-squashfs-factory.bin WARNING: so far, no non-destructive method has been discovered for opening the enclosure to reach the serial console.
