* package/base-files: caldata: work around dd's limitationThibaut VARÈNE2020-05-281-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tl;dr: dd will silently truncate the output if reading from special files (e.g. sysfs attributes) with a too large bs parameter. This problem was exposed on some RouterBOARD ipq40xx devices which use a caldata payload which is larger than PAGE_SIZE, contrary to all other currently supported RouterBOARD devices: the caldata would fail to properly load with the current scripts. Background: dd doesn't seem to correctly handle read() results that return less than requested data. sysfs attributes have a kernel exchange buffer which is at most PAGE_SIZE big, so only 1 page can be read() at a time. In this case, if bs is larger than PAGE_SIZE, dd will silently truncate blocks to PAGE_SIZE. With the current scripts using bs=<size> count=1, the data is truncated to PAGE_SIZE as soon as the requested <size> exceeds this value. This commit works around this problem by using `cat` in the caldata routines that can read from a file (routines that read from mtd devices are untouched). cat correctly handles partial read requests. The output is then piped to dd with the same parameters as before, to ensure that the resulting file remains exactly the same. This is a simple workaround, the downside is that it uses a pipe and one more executable, and therefore has a larger memory footprint and is slower. This is deemed acceptable considering these routines are only used at boot time. Tested-by: Robert Marko <robimarko@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Thibaut VARÈNE <hacks@slashdirt.org>
* package/base-files: add caldata_sysfsload_from_file()Thibaut VARÈNE2020-05-081-0/+15
| | | | | | | | This routine enables loading caldata binary via the kernel sysfs loader See https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.19/driver-api/firmware/fallback-mechanisms.html Signed-off-by: Thibaut VARÈNE <hacks@slashdirt.org>
* package/base-files: caldata: allow setting target fileThibaut VARÈNE2020-05-081-8/+21
| | | | | | | This will enable platforms to extract caldata to an arbitrary file, or patch mac in an abitrary file. Signed-off-by: Thibaut VARÈNE <hacks@slashdirt.org>
* base-files: remove some bashismsSven Roederer2020-01-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | "[[" is a bash extension for test. As the ash-implementation is not fully compatible we drop its usage. Also change to "=" for simple test, which is sufficient.

* treewide: use a single ath10k MAC patching function with checksumAdrian Schmutzler2019-10-151-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While all ath10k eeproms have a checksum field, so far two functions for patching ath10k MAC address have been present (and been used). This merges code to provide a single function ath10k_patch_mac in caldata.sh, having its name in accordance with ath9k functions. By doing so, correct MAC patching for current and future ath10k devices should be ensured. This patch adds checksum adjustments for several targets on ath79 and lantiq.

* treewide: move MAC address patch functions to common libraryAdrian Schmutzler2019-10-141-0/+59
| | | | | | | | | This unifies MAC address patch functions and moves them to a common script. While those were implemented differently for different targets, they all seem to do the same. The number of different variants is significantly reduced by this patch. Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler <freifunk@adrianschmutzler.de>
* treewide: move calibration data extraction function to libraryAdrian Schmutzler2019-10-131-0/+75
This moves the almost identical calibration data extraction functions present multiple times in several targets to a single library file /lib/functions/caldata.sh. Functions are renamed with more generic names to merge different variants that only differ in their names. Most of the targets used find_mtd_chardev, while some used find_mtd_part inside the extraction code. To merge them, the more abundant version with find_mtd_chardev is used in the common code.
