* ath79: bsap18x0: pad rootfs imageTomasz Maciej Nowak2022-07-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | This image is supposed to be written with help of bootloader to the flash, but as it stands, it's not aligned to block size and RedBoot will happily create non-aligned partition size in FIS directory. This could lead to kernel to mark the partition as read-only, therefore pad the image to block erase size boundary.

* ath79: switch some RedBoot based devices to OKLI loaderTomasz Maciej Nowak2022-07-153-24/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After the kernel has switched version to 5.10, JA76PF2 and RouterStations lost the capability to sysupgrade the OpenWrt version. The cause is the lack of porting the patches responsible for partial flash erase block writing and these boards FIS directory and RedBoot config partitions share the same erase block. Because of that the FIS directory can't be updated to accommodate kernel/rootfs partition size changes. This could be remedied by bootloader update, but it is very intrusive and could potentially lead to non-trivial recovery procedure, if something went wrong. The less difficult option is to use OpenWrt kernel loader, which will let us use static partition sizes and employ mtd splitter to dynamically adjust kernel and rootfs partition sizes. On sysupgrade from ath79 19.07 or 21.02 image, which still let to modify FIS directory, the loader will be written to kernel partition, while the kernel+rootfs to rootfs partition. The caveats are: * image format changes, no possible upgrade from ar71xx target images * downgrade to any older OpenWrt version will require TFTP recovery or usage of bootloader command line interface To downgrade to 19.07 or 21.02, or to upgrade if one is already on OpenWrt with kernel 5.10, for RouterStations use TFTP recovery procedure. For JA76PF2 use instructions from this commit message: commit 0cc87b3bacee ("ath79: image: disable sysupgrade images for routerstations and ja76pf2"), replacing kernel image with loader (loader.bin suffix) and rootfs image with firmware (firmware.bin suffix).

* ath79: add support for TP-Link Deco M4R v1 and v2Foica David2022-05-171-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds support for the TP-Link Deco M4R (it can also be M4, TP-Link uses both names) v1 and v2. It is similar hardware-wise to the Archer C6 v2. Software-wise it is very different. V2 has a bit different layout from V1 but the chips are the same and the OEM firmware is the same for both versions. Specifications: SoC: QCA9563-AL3A RAM: Zentel A3R1GE40JBF Wireless 2.4GHz: QCA9563-AL3A (main SoC) Wireless 5GHz: QCA9886 Ethernet Switch: QCA8337N-AL3C Flash: 16 MB SPI NOR Flashing: The device's bootloader only accepts images that are signed using TP-Link's RSA key, therefore this way of flashing is not possible. The device has a web GUI that should be accessible after setting up the device using the app (it requires the app to set it up first because the web GUI asks for the TP-Link account password) but for unknown reasons, the web GUI also refuses custom images. There is a debug firmware image that has been shared on the device's OpenWrt forum thread that has telnet unlocked, which the bootloader will accept because it is signed. It can be used to transfer an OpenWrt image file over to the device and then be used with mtd to flash the device. Pre-requisites: - Debug firmware. - A way of transferring the file to the router, you can use an FTP server as an example. - Set a static IP of 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0 on your computer. - OpenWrt image. Installation: - Unplug your router and turn it upside down. Using a long and thin object like a SIM unlock tool, press and hold the reset button on the router and replug it. Keep holding it until the LED flashes yellow. - Open 192.168.0.1. You should see the bootloader recovery's webpage. Choose the debug firmware that you downloaded and flash it. Wait until the router reboots (at this stage you can remove the static IP). - Open a terminal window and connect to the router via telnet (the primary router should have a 192.168.0.1 IP address, secondary routers are different). - Transfer the file over to the router, you can use curl to download it from the internet (use the insecure flag and make sure your source accepts insecure downloads) or from an FTP server. - The router's default mtd partition scheme has kernel and rootfs separated. We can use dd to split the OpenWrt image file and flash it with mtd: dd if=openwrt.bin of=kernel.bin skip=0 count=8192 bs=256 dd if=openwrt.bin of=rootfs.bin skip=8192 bs=256 - Once the images are ready, you have to flash the device using mtd (make sure to flash the correct partitions or you may be left with a hard bricked router): mtd write kernel.bin kernel mtd write rootfs.bin rootfs - Flashing is done, reboot the device now.

They share PCB designs with several devices that already have partial or full support, most notably the Devolo DVL1750i/e. The AP100 and AP100C are hardware-identical to the AP55 and AP55C, however the 55 models' ART does not contain calibration data for their third chain despite it being present on the PCB. Specifications common to all models: - Qualcomm QCA9558 SoC @ 720 MHz (MIPS 74Kc Big-endian processor) - 128 MB RAM - 16 MB SPI flash - 1x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port, 802.3af PoE-in - Green and Red status LEDs sharing a single external light-pipe - Reset button on PCB[1] - Piezo beeper on PCB[2] - Serial UART header on PCB - Alternate power supply via 5.5x2.1mm DC jack @ 12 VDC Unique to AP100 and AP100C: - 3T3R 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n via SoC WMAC - 3T3R 5.8GHz 802.11a/n/ac via QCA9880 (PCI Express) AP55 and AP55C: - 2T2R 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n via SoC WMAC - 2T2R 5.8GHz 802.11a/n/ac via QCA9880 (PCI Express) AP100 and AP55: - External RJ45 serial console port[3] - USB 2.0 Type A port, power controlled via GPIO 11 Flashing instructions: This firmware can be flashed either via a compatible Sophos SG or XG firewall appliance, which does not require disassembling the device, or via the U-Boot console available on the internal UART header. To flash via XG appliance: - Register on Sophos' website for a no-cost Home Use XG firewall license - Download and install the XG software on a compatible PC or virtual machine, complete initial appliance setup, and enable SSH console access - Connect the target AP device to the XG appliance's LAN interface - Approve the AP from the XG Web UI and wait until it shows as Active (this can take 3-5 minutes) - Connect to the XG appliance over SSH and access the Advanced Console (Menu option 5, then menu option 3) - Run `sudo awetool` and select the menu option to connect to an AP via SSH. When prompted to enable SSH on the target AP, select Yes. - Wait 2-3 minutes, then select the AP from the awetool menu again. This will connect you to a root shell on the target AP. - Copy the firmware to /tmp/openwrt.bin on the target AP via SCP/TFTP/etc - Run `mtd -r write /tmp/openwrt.bin astaro_image` - When complete, the access point will reboot to OpenWRT. To flash via U-Boot serial console: - Configure a TFTP server on your PC, and set IP address 192.168.99.8 with netmask 255.255.255.0 - Copy the firmware .bin to the TFTP server and rename to 'uImage_AP100C' - Open the target AP's enclosure and locate the 4-pin 3.3V UART header [4] - Connect the AP ethernet to your PC's ethernet port - Connect a terminal to the UART at 115200 8/N/1 as usual - Power on the AP and press a key to cancel autoboot when prompted - Run the following commands at the U-Boot console: - `tftpboot` - `cp.b $fileaddr 0x9f070000 $filesize` - `boot` - The access point will boot to OpenWRT.

* ath79: Move TPLink WPA8630Pv2 to ath79-tiny targetJoe Mullally2022-04-102-30/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These devices only have 6MiB available for firmware, which is not enough for recent release images, so move these to the tiny target. Note for users sysupgrading from the previous ath79-generic snapshot images: The tiny target kernel has a 4Kb flash erase block size instead of the generic target's 64kb. This means the JFFS2 overlay partition containing settings must be reformatted with the new block size or else there will be data corruption. To do this, backup your settings before upgrading, then during the sysupgrade, de-select "Keep Settings". On the CLI, use "sysupgrade -n". If you forget to do this and your system becomes unstable after upgrading, you can do this to format the partition and recover: * Reboot * Press RESET when Power LED blinks during boot to enter Failsafe mode * SSH to 192.168.1.1 * Run "firstboot" and reboot Signed-off-by: Joe Mullally <jwmullally@gmail.com> Tested-by: Robert Högberg <robert.hogberg@gmail.com> (cherry picked from commit 44e1e5d153d00915a7e516c9af3f440cbd84cf78)

The vendor's firmware content reveals that the same device might be available on the US market under name 'Archer C90 v6'. Due to lack of access to such hardware, support introduced in this commit was tested only on the EU version (sold under 'Archer A9 v6' name). Based on the information on the PL version of the vendor website, this device has been already phased out and is no longer available. Specifications: - Qualcomm QCN5502 (775 MHz) - 128 MB of RAM (DDR2) - 16 MB of flash (SPI NOR) - 5x Gbps Ethernet (Qualcomm QCA8337N over SGMII) - Wi-Fi: - 802.11b/g/n on 2.4 GHz: Qualcomm QCN5502* in 4x4:4 mode - 802.11a/n/ac on 5 GHz: Qualcomm QCA9984 in 3x3:3 mode - 3x non-detachable, dual-band external antennas (~3.5 dBi for 5 GHz, ~2.2 dBi for 2.4 GHz, IPEX/U.FL connectors) - 1x internal PCB antenna for 2.4 GHz (~1.8 dBi) - 1x USB 2.0 Type-A - 11x LED (4x connected to QCA8337N, 7x connected to QCN5502) - 2x button (reset, WPS) - UART (4-pin, 2.54 mm pitch) header on PCB (not populated) - 1x mechanical power switch - 1x DC jack (12 V) *) unsupported due to missing support for QCN550x in ath9k UART system serial console notice: The RX signal of the main SOC's UART on this device is shared with the WPS button's GPIO. The first-stage U-Boot by default disables the RX, resulting in a non-functional UART input. If you press and keep 'ENTER' on the serial console during early boot-up, the first-stage U-Boot will enable RX input. Vendor firmware allows password-less access to the system over serial. Flash instruction (vendor GUI): 1. It is recommended to first upgrade vendor firmware to the latest version (1.1.1 Build 20210315 rel.40637 at the time of writing). 2. Use the 'factory' image directly in the vendor's GUI. Flash instruction (TFTP based recovery in second-stage U-Boot): 1. Rename 'factory' image to 'ArcherA9v6_tp_recovery.bin' 2. Setup a TFTP server on your PC with IP 192.168.0.66/24. 3. Press and hold the reset button for ~5 sec while turning on power. 4. The device will download image, flash it and reboot. Flash instruction (web based recovery in first-stage U-Boot): 1. Use 'CTRL+C' during power-up to enable CLI in first-stage U-Boot. 2. Connect a PC with IP set to 192.168.0.1 to one of the LAN ports. 3. Issue 'httpd' command and visit http://192.168.0.1 in browser. 4. Use the 'factory' image.

Hardware highlights: - CPU: QCA9563 SoC at 775MHz, - RAM: 128MB DDR2, - NOR Flash: MX25L1606E 2MB SPI Flash, for U-boot only, - NAND Flash: W25N01GV 128MB SPI NAND-Flash, for all other data, - Wi-Fi 5GHz: QCA9886 2x2 MIMO 802.11ac Wave2 radio, - WI-Fi 2.4GHz: QCA9563 3x3 MIMO 802.11n radio, - Switch: QCA8337v2 4-port gigabit Ethernet, with single SGMII CPU port, - WWAN: [MF286A] MDM9230-based category 6 internal LTE modem [MF286R] PXA1826-based category 7 internal LTE modem in extended mini-PCIE form factor, with 3 internal antennas and 2 external antenna connections, single mini-SIM slot. - FXS: one external ATA port (handled entirely by modem part) with two physical connections in parallel, - USB: Single external USB 2.0 port, - Switches: power switch, WPS, Wi-Fi and reset buttons, - LEDs: Wi-Fi, Test (internal). Rest of LEDs (Phone, WWAN, Battery, Signal state) handled entirely by modem. 4 link status LEDs handled by the switch on the backside. - Battery: 3Ah 1-cell Li-Ion replaceable battery, with charging and monitoring handled by modem. - Label MAC device: eth0 The device shares many components with previous model, MF286, differing mostly by a Wave2 5GHz radio, flash layout and internal LED color. In case of MF286A, the modem is the same as in MF286. MF286R uses a different modem based on Marvell PXA1826 chip. Internal modem of MF286A is supported via uqmi, MF286R modem isn't fully supported, but it is expected to use comgt-ncm for connection, as it uses standard 3GPP AT commands for connection establishment. Console connection: connector X2 is the console port, with the following pinout, starting from pin 1, which is the topmost pin when the board is upright: - VCC (3.3V). Do not use unless you need to source power for the converer from it. - TX - RX - GND Default port configuration in U-boot as well as in stock firmware is 115200-8-N-1. Installation: Due to different flash layout from stock firmware, sysupgrade from within stock firmware is impossible, despite it's based on QSDK which itself is based on OpenWrt. STEP 0: Stock firmware update: As installing OpenWrt cuts you off from official firmware updates for the modem part, it is recommended to update the stock firmware to latest version before installation, to have built-in modem at the latest firmware version. STEP 1: gaining root shell: Method 1: This works if busybox has telnetd compiled in the binary. If this does not work, try method 2. Using well-known exploit to start telnetd on your router - works only if Busybox on stock firmware has telnetd included: - Open stock firmware web interface - Navigate to "URL filtering" section by going to "Advanced settings", then "Firewall" and finally "URL filter". - Add an entry ending with "&&telnetd&&", for example "http://hostname/&&telnetd&&". - telnetd will immediately listen on port 4719. - After connecting to telnetd use "admin/admin" as credentials. Method 2: This works if busybox does not have telnetd compiled in. Notably, this is the case in DNA.fi firmware. If this does not work, try method 3. - Set IP of your computer to 192.168.0.22. (or appropriate subnet if changed) - Have a TFTP server running at that address - Download MIPS build of busybox including telnetd, for example from: https://busybox.net/downloads/binaries/1.21.1/busybox-mips and put it in it's root directory. Rename it as "telnetd". - As previously, login to router's web UI and navigate to "URL filtering" - Using "Inspect" feature, extend "maxlength" property of the input field named "addURLFilter", so it looks like this: <input type="text" name="addURLFilter" id="addURLFilter" maxlength="332" class="required form-control"> - Stay on the page - do not navigate anywhere - Enter "http://aa&zte_debug.sh 192.168.0.22 telnetd" as a filter. - Save the settings. This will download the telnetd binary over tftp and execute it. You should be able to log in at port 23, using "admin/admin" as credentials. Method 3: If the above doesn't work, use the serial console - it exposes root shell directly without need for login. Some stock firmwares, notably one from finnish DNA operator lack telnetd in their builds. STEP 2: Backing up original software: As the stock firmware may be customized by the carrier and is not officially available in the Internet, IT IS IMPERATIVE to back up the stock firmware, if you ever plan to returning to stock firmware. It is highly recommended to perform backup using both methods, to avoid hassle of reassembling firmware images in future, if a restore is needed. Method 1: after booting OpenWrt initramfs image via TFTP: PLEASE NOTE: YOU CANNOT DO THIS IF USING INTERMEDIATE FIRMWARE FOR INSTALLATION. - Dump stock firmware located on stock kernel and ubi partitions: ssh root@192.168.1.1: cat /dev/mtd4 > mtd4_kernel.bin ssh root@192.168.1.1: cat /dev/mtd9 > mtd9_ubi.bin And keep them in a safe place, should a restore be needed in future. Method 2: using stock firmware: - Connect an external USB drive formatted with FAT or ext4 to the USB port. - The drive will be auto-mounted to /var/usb_disk - Check the flash layout of the device: cat /proc/mtd It should show the following: mtd0: 000a0000 00010000 "u-boot" mtd1: 00020000 00010000 "u-boot-env" mtd2: 00140000 00010000 "reserved1" mtd3: 000a0000 00020000 "fota-flag" mtd4: 00080000 00020000 "art" mtd5: 00080000 00020000 "mac" mtd6: 000c0000 00020000 "reserved2" mtd7: 00400000 00020000 "cfg-param" mtd8: 00400000 00020000 "log" mtd9: 000a0000 00020000 "oops" mtd10: 00500000 00020000 "reserved3" mtd11: 00800000 00020000 "web" mtd12: 00300000 00020000 "kernel" mtd13: 01a00000 00020000 "rootfs" mtd14: 01900000 00020000 "data" mtd15: 03200000 00020000 "fota" mtd16: 01d00000 00020000 "firmware" Differences might indicate that this is NOT a MF286A device but one of other variants. - Copy over all MTD partitions, for example by executing the following: for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15; do cat /dev/mtd$i > \ /var/usb_disk/mtd$i; done "Firmware" partition can be skipped, it is a concatenation of "kernel" and "rootfs". - If the count of MTD partitions is different, this might indicate that this is not a MF286A device, but one of its other variants. - (optionally) rename the files according to MTD partition names from /proc/mtd - Unmount the filesystem: umount /var/usb_disk; sync and then remove the drive. - Store the files in safe place if you ever plan to return to stock firmware. This is especially important, because stock firmware for this device is not available officially, and is usually customized by the mobile providers. STEP 3: Booting initramfs image: Method 1: using serial console (RECOMMENDED): - Have TFTP server running, exposing the OpenWrt initramfs image, and set your computer's IP address as 192.168.0.22. This is the default expected by U-boot. You may wish to change that, and alter later commands accordingly. - Connect the serial console if you haven't done so already, - Interrupt boot sequence by pressing any key in U-boot when prompted - Use the following commands to boot OpenWrt initramfs through TFTP: setenv serverip 192.168.0.22 setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.1 tftpboot 0x81000000 openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286a-initramfs-kernel.bin bootm 0x81000000 (Replace server IP and router IP as needed). There is no emergency TFTP boot sequence triggered by buttons, contrary to MF283+. - When OpenWrt initramfs finishes booting, proceed to actual installation. Method 2: using initramfs image as temporary boot kernel This exploits the fact, that kernel and rootfs MTD devices are consecutive on NAND flash, so from within stock image, an initramfs can be written to this area and booted by U-boot on next reboot, because it uses "nboot" command which isn't limited by kernel partition size. - Download the initramfs-kernel.bin image - After backing up the previous MTD contents, write the images to the "firmware" MTD device, which conveniently concatenates "kernel" and "rootfs" partitions that can fit the initramfs image: nandwrite -p /dev/<firmware-mtd> \ /var/usb_disk/openwrt-ath79-zte_mf286a-initramfs-kernel.bin - If write is OK, reboot the device, it will reboot to OpenWrt initramfs: reboot -f - After rebooting, SSH into the device and use sysupgrade to perform proper installation. Method 3: using built-in TFTP recovery (LAST RESORT): - With that method, ensure you have complete backup of system's NAND flash first. It involves deliberately erasing the kernel. - Download "-initramfs-kernel.bin" image for the device. - Prepare the recovery image by prepending 8MB of zeroes to the image, and name it root_uImage: dd if=/dev/zero of=padding.bin bs=8M count=1 cat padding.bin openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286a-initramfs-kernel.bin > root_uImage - Set up a TFTP server at 192.0.0.1/8. Router will use random address from that range. - Put the previously generated "root_uImage" into TFTP server root directory. - Deliberately erase "kernel" partition" using stock firmware after taking backup. THIS IS POINT OF NO RETURN. - Restart the device. U-boot will attempt flashing the recovery initramfs image, which will let you perform actual installation using sysupgrade. This might take a considerable time, sometimes the router doesn't establish Ethernet link properly right after booting. Be patient. - After U-boot finishes flashing, the LEDs of switch ports will all light up. At this moment, perform power-on reset, and wait for OpenWrt initramfs to finish booting. Then proceed to actual installation. STEP 4: Actual installation: - Set your computer IP to 192.168.1.22/24 - scp the sysupgrade image to the device: scp openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin \ root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/ - ssh into the device and execute sysupgrade: sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin - Wait for router to reboot to full OpenWrt. STEP 5: WAN connection establishment Since the router is equipped with LTE modem as its main WAN interface, it might be useful to connect to the Internet right away after installation. To do so, please put the following entries in /etc/config/network, replacing the specific configuration entries with one needed for your ISP: config interface 'wan' option proto 'qmi' option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0' option auth '<auth>' # As required, usually 'none' option pincode '<pin>' # If required by SIM option apn '<apn>' # As required by ISP option pdptype '<pdp>' # Typically 'ipv4', or 'ipv4v6' or 'ipv6' For example, the following works for most polish ISPs config interface 'wan' option proto 'qmi' option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0' option auth 'none' option apn 'internet' option pdptype 'ipv4' The required minimum is: config interface 'wan' option proto 'qmi' option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0' In this case, the modem will use last configured APN from stock firmware - this should work out of the box, unless your SIM requires PIN which can't be switched off. If you have build with LuCI, installing luci-proto-qmi helps with this task. Restoring the stock firmware: Preparation: If you took your backup using stock firmware, you will need to reassemble the partitions into images to be restored onto the flash. The layout might differ from ISP to ISP, this example is based on generic stock firmware The only partitions you really care about are "web", "kernel", and "rootfs". These are required to restore the stock firmware through factory TFTP recovery. Because kernel partition was enlarged, compared to stock firmware, the kernel and rootfs MTDs don't align anymore, and you need to carve out required data if you only have backup from stock FW: - Prepare kernel image cat mtd12_kernel.bin mtd13_rootfs.bin > owrt_kernel.bin truncate -s 4M owrt_kernel_restore.bin - Cut off first 1MB from rootfs dd if=mtd13_rootfs.bin of=owrt_rootfs.bin bs=1M skip=1 - Prepare image to write to "ubi" meta-partition: cat mtd6_reserved2.bi mtd7_cfg-param.bin mtd8_log.bin mtd9_oops.bin \ mtd10_reserved3.bin mtd11_web.bin owrt_rootfs.bin > \ owrt_ubi_ubi_restore.bin You can skip the "fota" partition altogether, it is used only for stock firmware update purposes and can be overwritten safely anyway. The same is true for "data" partition which on my device was found to be unused at all. Restoring mtd5_cfg-param.bin will restore the stock firmware configuration you had before. Method 1: Using initramfs: This method is recmmended if you took your backup from within OpenWrt initramfs, as the reassembly is not needed. - Boot to initramfs as in step 3: - Completely detach ubi0 partition using ubidetach /dev/ubi0_0 - Look up the kernel and ubi partitions in /proc/mtd - Copy over the stock kernel image using scp to /tmp - Erase kernel and restore stock kernel: (scp mtd4_kernel.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/) mtd write <kernel_mtd> mtd4_kernel.bin rm mtd4_kernel.bin - Copy over the stock partition backups one-by-one using scp to /tmp, and restore them individually. Otherwise you might run out of space in tmpfs: (scp mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/) mtd write <ubiconcat0_mtd> mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin rm mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin (scp mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/) mtd write <ubiconcat1_mtd> mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin rm mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin - If the write was correct, force a device reboot with reboot -f Method 2: Using live OpenWrt system (NOT RECOMMENDED): - Prepare a USB flash drive contatining MTD backup files - Ensure you have kmod-usb-storage and filesystem driver installed for your drive - Mount your flash drive mkdir /tmp/usb mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/usb - Remount your UBI volume at /overlay to R/O mount -o remount,ro /overlay - Write back the kernel and ubi partitions from USB drive cd /tmp/usb mtd write mtd4_kernel.bin /dev/<kernel_mtd> mtd write mtd9_ubi.bin /dev/<kernel_ubi> - If everything went well, force a device reboot with reboot -f Last image may be truncated a bit due to lack of space in RAM, but this will happen over "fota" MTD partition which may be safely erased after reboot anyway. Method 3: using built-in TFTP recovery: This method is recommended if you took backups using stock firmware. - Assemble a recovery rootfs image from backup of stock partitions by concatenating "web", "kernel", "rootfs" images dumped from the device, as "root_uImage" - Use it in place of "root_uImage" recovery initramfs image as in the TFTP pre-installation method. Quirks and known issuesa - It was observed, that CH340-based USB-UART converters output garbage during U-boot phase of system boot. At least CP2102 is known to work properly. - Kernel partition size is increased to 4MB compared to stock 3MB, to accomodate future kernel updates - at this moment OpenWrt 5.10 kernel image is at 2.5MB which is dangerously close to the limit. This has no effect on booting the system - but keep that in mind when reassembling an image to restore stock firmware. - uqmi seems to be unable to change APN manually, so please use the one you used before in stock firmware first. If you need to change it, please use protocok '3g' to establish connection once, or use the following command to change APN (and optionally IP type) manually: echo -ne 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","<apn>' > /dev/ttyUSB0 - The only usable LED as a "system LED" is the blue debug LED hidden inside the case. All other LEDs are controlled by modem, on which the router part has some influence only on Wi-Fi LED. - Wi-Fi LED currently doesn't work while under OpenWrt, despite having correct GPIO mapping. All other LEDs are controlled by modem, including this one in stock firmware. GPIO19, mapped there only acts as a gate, while the actual signal source seems to be 5GHz Wi-Fi radio, however it seems it is not the LED exposed by ath10k as ath10k-phy0. - GPIO5 used for modem reset is a suicide switch, causing a hardware reset of whole board, not only the modem. It is attached to gpio-restart driver, to restart the modem on reboot as well, to ensure QMI connectivity after reboot, which tends to fail otherwise. - Modem, as in MF283+, exposes root shell over ADB - while not needed for OpenWrt operation at all - have fun lurking around. The same modem module is used as in older MF286. Signed-off-by: Lech Perczak <lech.perczak@gmail.com>

Do not use unless you need to source power for the converer from it. - TX - RX - GND Default port configuration in U-boot as well as in stock firmware is 115200-8-N-1. Installation: Due to different flash layout from stock firmware, sysupgrade from within stock firmware is impossible, despite it's based on QSDK which itself is based on OpenWrt. STEP 0: Stock firmware update: As installing OpenWrt cuts you off from official firmware updates for the modem part, it is recommended to update the stock firmware to latest version before installation, to have built-in modem at the latest firmware version. STEP 1: gaining root shell: Method 1: This works if busybox has telnetd compiled in the binary. If this does not work, try method 2. Using well-known exploit to start telnetd on your router - works only if Busybox on stock firmware has telnetd included: - Open stock firmware web interface - Navigate to "URL filtering" section by going to "Advanced settings", then "Firewall" and finally "URL filter". - Add an entry ending with "&&telnetd&&", for example "http://hostname/&&telnetd&&". - telnetd will immediately listen on port 4719. - After connecting to telnetd use "admin/admin" as credentials. Method 2: This works if busybox does not have telnetd compiled in. Notably, this is the case in DNA.fi firmware. If this does not work, try method 3. - Set IP of your computer to 192.168.1.22. - Have a TFTP server running at that address - Download MIPS build of busybox including telnetd, for example from: https://busybox.net/downloads/binaries/1.21.1/busybox-mips and put it in it's root directory. Rename it as "telnetd". - As previously, login to router's web UI and navigate to "URL filtering" - Using "Inspect" feature, extend "maxlength" property of the input field named "addURLFilter", so it looks like this: <input type="text" name="addURLFilter" id="addURLFilter" maxlength="332" class="required form-control"> - Stay on the page - do not navigate anywhere - Enter "http://aa&zte_debug.sh 192.168.1.22 telnetd" as a filter. - Save the settings. This will download the telnetd binary over tftp and execute it. You should be able to log in at port 23, using "admin/admin" as credentials. Method 3: If the above doesn't work, use the serial console - it exposes root shell directly without need for login. Some stock firmwares, notably one from finnish DNA operator lack telnetd in their builds. STEP 2: Backing up original software: As the stock firmware may be customized by the carrier and is not officially available in the Internet, IT IS IMPERATIVE to back up the stock firmware, if you ever plan to returning to stock firmware. Method 1: after booting OpenWrt initramfs image via TFTP: PLEASE NOTE: YOU CANNOT DO THIS IF USING INTERMEDIATE FIRMWARE FOR INSTALLATION. - Dump stock firmware located on stock kernel and ubi partitions: ssh root@192.168.1.1: cat /dev/mtd4 > mtd4_kernel.bin ssh root@192.168.1.1: cat /dev/mtd8 > mtd8_ubi.bin And keep them in a safe place, should a restore be needed in future. Method 2: using stock firmware: - Connect an external USB drive formatted with FAT or ext4 to the USB port. - The drive will be auto-mounted to /var/usb_disk - Check the flash layout of the device: cat /proc/mtd It should show the following: mtd0: 00080000 00010000 "uboot" mtd1: 00020000 00010000 "uboot-env" mtd2: 00140000 00020000 "fota-flag" mtd3: 00140000 00020000 "caldata" mtd4: 00140000 00020000 "mac" mtd5: 00600000 00020000 "cfg-param" mtd6: 00140000 00020000 "oops" mtd7: 00800000 00020000 "web" mtd8: 00300000 00020000 "kernel" mtd9: 01f00000 00020000 "rootfs" mtd10: 01900000 00020000 "data" mtd11: 03200000 00020000 "fota" Differences might indicate that this is NOT a vanilla MF286 device but one of its later derivatives. - Copy over all MTD partitions, for example by executing the following: for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11; do cat /dev/mtd$i > \ /var/usb_disk/mtd$i; done - If the count of MTD partitions is different, this might indicate that this is not a standard MF286 device, but one of its later derivatives. - (optionally) rename the files according to MTD partition names from /proc/mtd - Unmount the filesystem: umount /var/usb_disk; sync and then remove the drive. - Store the files in safe place if you ever plan to return to stock firmware. This is especially important, because stock firmware for this device is not available officially, and is usually customized by the mobile providers. STEP 3: Booting initramfs image: Method 1: using serial console (RECOMMENDED): - Have TFTP server running, exposing the OpenWrt initramfs image, and set your computer's IP address as 192.168.1.22. This is the default expected by U-boot. You may wish to change that, and alter later commands accordingly. - Connect the serial console if you haven't done so already, - Interrupt boot sequence by pressing any key in U-boot when prompted - Use the following commands to boot OpenWrt initramfs through TFTP: setenv serverip 192.168.1.22 setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1 tftpboot 0x81000000 openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286-initramfs-kernel.bin bootm 0x81000000 (Replace server IP and router IP as needed). There is no emergency TFTP boot sequence triggered by buttons, contrary to MF283+. - When OpenWrt initramfs finishes booting, proceed to actual installation. Method 2: using initramfs image as temporary boot kernel This exploits the fact, that kernel and rootfs MTD devices are consecutive on NAND flash, so from within stock image, an initramfs can be written to this area and booted by U-boot on next reboot, because it uses "nboot" command which isn't limited by kernel partition size. - Download the initramfs-kernel.bin image - Split the image into two parts on 3MB partition size boundary, which is the size of kernel partition. Pad the output of second file to eraseblock size: dd if=openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286-initramfs-kernel.bin \ bs=128k count=24 \ of=openwrt-ath79-zte_mf286-intermediate-kernel.bin dd if=openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286-initramfs-kernel.bin \ bs=128k skip=24 conv=sync \ of=openwrt-ath79-zte_mf286-intermediate-rootfs.bin - Copy over /usr/bin/flash_eraseall and /usr/bin/nandwrite utilities to /tmp. This is CRITICAL for installation, as erasing rootfs will cut you off from those tools on flash! - After backing up the previous MTD contents, write the images to the respective MTD devices: /tmp/flash_eraseall /dev/<kernel-mtd> /tmp/nandwrite /dev/<kernel-mtd> \ /var/usb_disk/openwrt-ath79-zte_mf286-intermediate-kernel.bin /tmp/flash_eraseall /dev/<kernel-mtd> /tmp/nandwrite /dev/<rootfs-mtd> \ /var/usb_disk/openwrt-ath79-zte_mf286-intermediate-rootfs.bin - Ensure that no bad blocks were present on the devices while writing. If they were present, you may need to vary the split between kernel and rootfs parts, so U-boot reads a valid uImage after skipping the bad blocks. If it fails, you will be left with method 3 (below). - If write is OK, reboot the device, it will reboot to OpenWrt initramfs: reboot -f - After rebooting, SSH into the device and use sysupgrade to perform proper installation. Method 3: using built-in TFTP recovery (LAST RESORT): - With that method, ensure you have complete backup of system's NAND flash first. It involves deliberately erasing the kernel. - Download "-initramfs-kernel.bin" image for the device. - Prepare the recovery image by prepending 8MB of zeroes to the image, and name it root_uImage: dd if=/dev/zero of=padding.bin bs=8M count=1 cat padding.bin openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286-initramfs-kernel.bin > root_uImage - Set up a TFTP server at 192.0.0.1/8. Router will use random address from that range. - Put the previously generated "root_uImage" into TFTP server root directory. - Deliberately erase "kernel" partition" using stock firmware after taking backup. THIS IS POINT OF NO RETURN. - Restart the device. U-boot will attempt flashing the recovery initramfs image, which will let you perform actual installation using sysupgrade. This might take a considerable time, sometimes the router doesn't establish Ethernet link properly right after booting. Be patient. - After U-boot finishes flashing, the LEDs of switch ports will all light up. At this moment, perform power-on reset, and wait for OpenWrt initramfs to finish booting. Then proceed to actual installation. STEP 4: Actual installation: - scp the sysupgrade image to the device: scp openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin \ root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/ - ssh into the device and execute sysupgrade: sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin - Wait for router to reboot to full OpenWrt. STEP 5: WAN connection establishment Since the router is equipped with LTE modem as its main WAN interface, it might be useful to connect to the Internet right away after installation. To do so, please put the following entries in /etc/config/network, replacing the specific configuration entries with one needed for your ISP: config interface 'wan' option proto 'qmi' option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0' option auth '<auth>' # As required, usually 'none' option pincode '<pin>' # If required by SIM option apn '<apn>' # As required by ISP option pdptype '<pdp>' # Typically 'ipv4', or 'ipv4v6' or 'ipv6' For example, the following works for most polish ISPs config interface 'wan' option proto 'qmi' option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0' option auth 'none' option apn 'internet' option pdptype 'ipv4' If you have build with LuCI, installing luci-proto-qmi helps with this task. Restoring the stock firmware: Preparation: If you took your backup using stock firmware, you will need to reassemble the partitions into images to be restored onto the flash. The layout might differ from ISP to ISP, this example is based on generic stock firmware. The only partitions you really care about are "web", "kernel", and "rootfs". For easy padding and possibly restoring configuration, you can concatenate most of them into images written into "ubi" meta-partition in OpenWrt. To do so, execute something like: cat mtd5_cfg-param.bin mtd6-oops.bin mtd7-web.bin mtd9-rootfs.bin > \ mtd8-ubi_restore.bin You can skip the "fota" partition altogether, it is used only for stock firmware update purposes and can be overwritten safely anyway. The same is true for "data" partition which on my device was found to be unused at all. Restoring mtd5_cfg-param.bin will restore the stock firmware configuration you had before. Method 1: Using initramfs: - Boot to initramfs as in step 3: - Completely detach ubi0 partition using ubidetach /dev/ubi0_0 - Look up the kernel and ubi partitions in /proc/mtd - Copy over the stock kernel image using scp to /tmp - Erase kernel and restore stock kernel: (scp mtd4_kernel.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/) mtd write <kernel_mtd> mtd4_kernel.bin rm mtd4_kernel.bin - Copy over the stock partition backups one-by-one using scp to /tmp, and restore them individually. Otherwise you might run out of space in tmpfs: (scp mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/) mtd write <ubiconcat0_mtd> mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin rm mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin (scp mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/) mtd write <ubiconcat1_mtd> mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin rm mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin - If the write was correct, force a device reboot with reboot -f Method 2: Using live OpenWrt system (NOT RECOMMENDED): - Prepare a USB flash drive contatining MTD backup files - Ensure you have kmod-usb-storage and filesystem driver installed for your drive - Mount your flash drive mkdir /tmp/usb mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/usb - Remount your UBI volume at /overlay to R/O mount -o remount,ro /overlay - Write back the kernel and ubi partitions from USB drive cd /tmp/usb mtd write mtd4_kernel.bin /dev/<kernel_mtd> mtd write mtd8_ubi.bin /dev/<kernel_ubi> - If everything went well, force a device reboot with reboot -f Last image may be truncated a bit due to lack of space in RAM, but this will happen over "fota" MTD partition which may be safely erased after reboot anyway. Method 3: using built-in TFTP recovery (LAST RESORT): - Assemble a recovery rootfs image from backup of stock partitions by concatenating "web", "kernel", "rootfs" images dumped from the device, as "root_uImage" - Use it in place of "root_uImage" recovery initramfs image as in the TFTP pre-installation method. Quirks and known issues - Kernel partition size is increased to 4MB compared to stock 3MB, to accomodate future kernel updates - at this moment OpenWrt 5.10 kernel image is at 2.5MB which is dangerously close to the limit. This has no effect on booting the system - but keep that in mind when reassembling an image to restore stock firmware. - uqmi seems to be unable to change APN manually, so please use the one you used before in stock firmware first. If you need to change it, please use protocok '3g' to establish connection once, or use the following command to change APN (and optionally IP type) manually: echo -ne 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","<apn>' > /dev/ttyUSB0 - The only usable LED as a "system LED" is the green debug LED hidden inside the case. All other LEDs are controlled by modem, on which the router part has some influence only on Wi-Fi LED. - Wi-Fi LED currently doesn't work while under OpenWrt, despite having correct GPIO mapping. All other LEDs are controlled by modem, including this one in stock firmware. GPIO19, mapped there only acts as a gate, while the actual signal source seems to be 5GHz Wi-Fi radio, however it seems it is not the LED exposed by ath10k as ath10k-phy0. - GPIO5 used for modem reset is a suicide switch, causing a hardware reset of whole board, not only the modem. It is attached to gpio-restart driver, to restart the modem on reboot as well, to ensure QMI connectivity after reboot, which tends to fail otherwise. - Modem, as in MF283+, exposes root shell over ADB - while not needed for OpenWrt operation at all - have fun lurking around. - MAC address shift for 5GHz Wi-Fi used in stock firmware is 0x320000000000, which is impossible to encode in the device tree, so I took the liberty of using MAC address increment of 1 for it, to ensure different BSSID for both Wi-Fi interfaces.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since gzip-compressed kernel image stopped fitting on 4MB kernel partition on the device, use lzma-loader wrapping LZMA-compressed kernel. This yields bootable device once again, and saves a very substantial amount of space, the kernel size decreasing from about 4.4MB to about 2.5MB for 5.10 kernel. This avoids changing of the flash layout for the device. While at that, reactivate the build for the device.

Two easy ones are: ap51-flash ---------- The tool ap51-flash (https://github.com/ap51-flash/ap51-flash) should be used to transfer the image to the u-boot when the device boots up. initramfs from TFTP ------------------- The serial console must be used to access the u-boot shell during bootup. It can then be used to first boot up the initramfs image from a TFTP server (here with the IP 192.168.1.21): setenv serverip 192.168.1.21 setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1 tftpboot 0c00000 <filename-of-initramfs-kernel>.bin && bootm $fileaddr The actual sysupgrade image can then be transferred (on the LAN port) to the device via scp <filename-of-squashfs-sysupgrade>.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/ On the device, the sysupgrade must then be started using sysupgrade -n /tmp/<filename-of-squashfs-sysupgrade>.bin Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

* ath79: add missing UBNT_REVISIONNick Hainke2021-12-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The UBNT_REVISION was already added for the ubnt-xw target because: U-boot bootloader on M-XW devices expects factory image revision version in specific format. On airOS v6.1.7 with `U-Boot 1.1.4-s1039 (May 24 2017 - 15:58:18)` bootloader checks if the revision major(?) number is actually a number, but in currently generated images there's OpenWrt text and so the check fails ... By placing arbitrary correct number first in major version, we make the bootloader happy and we can flash factory images over TFTP again. commit d42a7c469909 ("ath79: ubnt-m-xw: Fix factory image flashing using TFTP recovery method") Fixes errors in the form of (tftp flashing): sent DATA <block=8577, 412 bytes> received ERROR <code=2, msg=Firmware check failed> Error code 2: Firmware check failed The missing UBNT_REVISION was not noticed before, since the UBNT_REVISION field for the ubnt-xm target was also set to: "42.OpenWrt-..." Probably, UBNT_REVISION for the ubnt-xm target was set by the ubnt-xw and was never overridden somewhere else. However, it is missing and should be part of the ubnt-xm device.
