* image: add support for Netgear encrypted imageWenli Looi2022-07-191-0/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Netgear encrypted image is used in various devices including WAX202, WAX206, and EX6400v3. This image format also requires a dummy squashfs4 image which is added here as well. References in WAX202 GPL source: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GPL/WAX202_V1.0.5.1_Source.rar * openwrt/bootloader/u-boot-mt7621-2018.09-gitb178829-20200526/board/ralink/common/dual_image.c Bootloader code that verifies the presence of a squashfs4 image, thus a dummy image is added here. * openwrt/tools/imgencoder/src/gj_enc.c Contains code that generates the encrypted image. There is support for adding an RSA signature, but it does not look like the signature is verified by the stock firmware or bootloader. * openwrt/tools/imgencoder/src/imagekey.h Contains the encryption key and IV. It appears the same key/IV is used for other Netgear devices including WAX206 and EX6400v3. Signed-off-by: Wenli Looi <wlooi@ucalgary.ca>

* build: use numeric-owner in ipkg-buildPaul Spooren2022-04-191-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To create packages the `ipkg-build` script is used which double packs `control.tar.gz` and `data.tar.gz` to a single package. By default it's using a verbose username instead of a numeric value for files. Official OpenWrt images (artifacts) are created within docker containers which do not seem to contain those verbose usernames and instead defaults to numeric values. This becomes a problem when rebuilding public artifacts because other build environments may offer verbose usernames and there the created packages is different from the official ones. With this commit `ipkg-build` always uses numeric values for user/group and thereby making it easier to reproduce official artifacts. Signed-off-by: Paul Spooren <mail@aparcar.org>

* scripts/gen_image_generic.sh: fix order of files in EFI bootfsDaniel Golle2022-04-151-2/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | mtools recursive copy (mcopy -s ...) is using READDIR(3) to iterate over the directory entries, hence they end up in the FAT filesystem in traversal order which breaks reproducibility (rather than being added to the FAT filesystem in a reproducible order). Implement recursive copy in gen_image_generic.sh in Shell code instead, as in that way we can force files to be copied in reproducible order.

* base-files: add eMMC sysupgrade supportEnrico Mioso2021-12-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds generic support for sysupgrading on eMMC-based devices. Provide function emmc_do_upgrade and emmc_copy_config to be used in /lib/upgrade/platform.sh instead of redundantly implementing the same logic over and over again. Similar to generic sysupgrade on NAND, use environment variables CI_KERNPART, CI_ROOTPART and newly introduce CI_DATAPART to indicate GPT partition names to be used. On devices with more than one MMC block device, CI_ROOTDEV can be used to specify the MMC device for partition name lookups. Also allow to select block devices directly using EMMC_KERN_DEV, EMMC_ROOT_DEV and EMMC_DATA_DEV, as using GPT partition names is not always an option (e.g. when forced to use MBR). To easily handle writing kernel and rootfs make use of sysupgrade.tar format convention which is also already used for generic NAND support.

* base-files: rename 'sdcard' to 'legacy-sdcard'Daniel Golle2021-08-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While an image layout based on MBR and 'bootfs' partition may be easy to understand for users who are very used to the IBM PC and always have the option to access the SD card outside of the device (and hence don't really depend on other recovery methods or dual-boot), in my opinion it's a dead end for many desirable features on embedded systems, especially when managed remotely (and hence without an easy option to access the SD card using another device in case things go wrong, for example). Let me explain: * using a MSDOS/VFAT filesystem to store kernel(s) is problematic, as a single corruption of the bootfs can render the system into a state that it no longer boots at all. This makes dual-boot useless, or at least very tedious to setup with then 2 independent boot partitions to avoid the single point of failure on a "hot" block (the FAT index of the boot partition, written every time a file is changed in bootfs). And well: most targets even store the bootloader environment in a file in that very same FAT filesystem, hence it cannot be used to script a reliable dual-boot method (as loading the environment itself will already fail if the filesystem is corrupted). * loading the kernel uImage from bootfs and using rootfs inside an additional partition means the bootloader can only validate the kernel -- if rootfs is broken or corrupted, this can lead to a reboot loop, which is often a quite costly thing to happen in terms of hardware lifetime. * imitating MBR-boot behavior with a FAT-formatted bootfs partition (like IBM PC in the 80s and 90s) is just one of many choices on embedded targets. There are much better options with modern U-Boot (which is what we use and build from source for all targets booting off SD cards), see examples in mediatek/mt7622 and mediatek/mt7623. Hence rename the 'sdcard' feature to 'legacy-sdcard', and prefix functions with 'legacy_sdcard_' instead of 'sdcard_'.
