mpc85xx: add support for Extreme Networks WS-AP3825i
Hardware: - SoC: Freescale P1020 - CPU: 2x e500v2 @ 800MHz - Flash: 64MiB NOR (1x Intel JS28F512) - Memory: 256MiB (2x ProMOS DDR3 V73CAG01168RBJ-I9H 1Gb) - WiFi1: 2.4+5GHz abgn 3x3 (Atheros AR9590) - Wifi2: 5GHz an+ac 3x3 (Qualcomm Atheros QCA9890) - ETH: 2x PoE Gigabit Ethernet (2x Atheros AR8035) - Power: 12V (center-positive barrel) or 48V PoE (active or passive) - Serial: Cisco-compatible RJ45 next to 12V power socket (115200 baud) - LED Driver: TI LV164A - LEDs: (not functioning) - 2x Power (Green + Orange) - 4x ETH (ETH1 + ETH2) x (Green + Orange) - 2x WiFi (WiFi2 + WiFi1) Installation: 1. Grab the OpenWrt initramfs <openwrt-initramfs-bin>, e.g. openwrt-mpc85xx-p1020-extreme-networks_ws-ap3825i-initramfs-kernel.bin. Place it in the root directory of a DHCP+TFTP server, e.g. OpenWrt `dnsmasq` with configuration `dhcp.server.enable_tftp='1'`. 2. Connect to the serial port and boot the AP with options e.g. 115200,N,8. Stop autoboot in U-Boot by pressing Enter after 'Scanning JFFS2 FS:' begins, then waiting for the prompt to be interrupted. Credentials are identical to the one in the APs interface. By default it is admin / new2day: if these do not work, follow the OEM's reset procedure using the reset button. 3. Set the bootcmd so the AP can boot OpenWrt by executing: ```uboot setenv boot_openwrt "cp.b 0xEC000000 0x2000000 0x2000000; interrupts off; bootm start 0x2000000; bootm loados; fdt resize; fdt boardsetup; fdt chosen; bootm prep; bootm go;" setenv bootcmd "run boot_openwrt" saveenv ``` If you plan on going back to the vendor firmware - the bootcmd for it is stored in the boot_flash variable. 4. Load the initramfs image to RAM and boot by executing ```uboot setenv ipaddr <ipv4 client address>; setenv serverip <tftp server address>; tftpboot 0x2000000 <openwrt-initramfs-bin>; interrupts off; bootm start 0x2000000; bootm loados; fdt resize; fdt boardsetup; fdt chosen; bootm prep; bootm go; ``` 5. Make a backup of the "firmware" partition if you ever wish to go back to the vendor firmware. 6. Upload the OpenWrt sysupgrade image via SCP to the devices /tmp folder. 7. Flash OpenWrt using sysupgrade. ```ash sysupgrade /tmp/<openwrt-sysupgrade-bin> ``` Notes: - We must step through the `bootm` process manually to avoid fdt relocation. To explain: the stock U-boot (and stock Linux) are configured with a very large CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ (and the device's stock Linux kernel is configured to be able to handle it). The U-boot version predates the check for the `fdt_high` variable, meaning that upon fdt relocation, the fdt can (and will) be moved to a very high address; the default appears to be 0x9ffa000. This address is so high that when the Linux kernel starts reading the fdt at the beginning of the boot process, it encounters a memory access exception and panics[5]. While it is possible to reduce the highest address the fdt will be relocated to by setting `bootm_size`, this also has the side effect of limiting the amount of RAM the kernel can use[3]. - Because it is not relocated, the flattened device tree needs to be padded in the build process to guarantee that `fdt resize` has enough space. - The primary ethernet MAC address is stored (and set) in U-boot; they are shimmed into the device tree by 'fdt boardsetup' through the 'local-mac-address' property of the respective ethernet node, so OpenWrt does not need to set this at runtime. Note that U-boot indexes the ethernet nodes by alias, which is why the device tree explicitly aliases ethernet1 to enet2. - LEDs do not function under OpenWrt. Each of 8 LEDs is connected to an output of a TI LV164A shift register, which is wired to GPIO lines and operates through bit-banged SPI. Unfortunately, I am unable to get the spi-gpio driver to recognize the `led_spi` device tree node at all, as confirmed by patching in printk messages demonstrating spi-gpio.c::spi_gpio_probe never runs. It is possible to manually articulate the shift register by exporting the GPIO lines and stepping their values through the sysfs. - Though they do not function under OpenWrt, I have left the pinout details of the LEDs and shift register in the device tree to represent real hardware. - An archive of the u-boot and Linux source for the AP3825i (which is one device of a range of devices code-named 'CHANTRY') be found here[1]. - The device has an identical case to both the Enterasys WS-AP3725i and Adtran BSAP-2030[2] (and potentially other Adtran BSAPs). Given that there is no FCC ID for the board itself (only its WLAN modules), it's likely these are generic boards, and even that the WS-AP3725i is identical, with only a change in WLAN card. I have ordered one to confirm this. - For additional information: the process of porting the board is documented in an OpenWrt forum thread[4].
