Navigate to 'File Management' page from left pane Click Browse and select the factory.bin image Upload and verify checksum Click Continue to confirm wait about 3 minutes Method 2: Serial to load Failsafe webpage: After connecting to serial console and rebooting... Interrupt uboot with any key pressed rapidly execute `run failsafe_boot` OR `bootm 0x9fd70000` wait a minute connect to ethernet and navigate to 192.168.20.253 Select the factory.bin image and upload wait about 3 minutes **Return to OEM:** Method 1: Serial to load Failsafe webpage (above) Method 2: delete a checksum from uboot-env this will make uboot load the failsafe image at next boot because it will fail the checksum verification of the image ssh into openwrt and run `fw_setenv rootfs_checksum 0` reboot, wait a minute connect to ethernet and navigate to 192.168.20.253 select OEM firmware image and click upgrade Method 3: backup mtd partitions before upgrade **TFTP recovery:** Requires serial console, reset button does nothing rename initramfs-kernel.bin to '0101A8C0.img' make available on TFTP server at 192.168.1.101 power board, interrupt boot with serial console execute `tftpboot` and `bootm 0x81000000` NOTE: TFTP may not be reliable due to bugged bootloader set MTU to 600 and try many times **Format of OEM firmware image:** The OEM software is built using SDKs from Senao which is based on a heavily modified version of Openwrt Kamikaze or Altitude Adjustment. One of the many modifications is sysupgrade being performed by a custom script. Images are verified through successful unpackaging, correct filenames and size requirements for both kernel and rootfs files, and that they start with the correct magic numbers (first 2 bytes) for the respective headers. Newer Senao software requires more checks but their script includes a way to skip them. The OEM upgrade script is at /etc/fwupgrade.sh OKLI kernel loader is required because the OEM software expects the kernel to be less than 1536k and the OEM upgrade procedure would otherwise overwrite part of the kernel when writing rootfs. Note on PLL-data cells: The default PLL register values will not work because of the external AR8035 switch between the SOC and the ethernet port. For QCA955x series, the PLL registers for eth0 and eth1 can be see in the DTSI as 0x28 and 0x48 respectively. Therefore the PLL registers can be read from uboot for each link speed after attempting tftpboot or another network action using that link speed with `md 0x18050028 1` and `md 0x18050048 1`. The clock delay required for RGMII can be applied at the PHY side, using the at803x driver `phy-mode` setting through the DTS. Therefore, the Ethernet Configuration registers for GMAC0 do not need the bits for RGMII delay on the MAC side. This is possible due to fixes in at803x driver since Linux 5.1 and 5.3 Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt <mcpratt@pm.me>

* ath79: add support for TP-Link Archer A9 v6Piotr Dymacz2022-02-274-0/+265
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TP-Link Archer A9 v6 (FCCID: TE7A9V6) is an AC1900 Wave-2 gigabit home router based on a combination of Qualcomm QCN5502 (most likely a 4x4:4 version of the QCA9563 WiSOC), QCA9984 and QCA8337N. 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. If you would like to restore vendor's firmware, follow one of the recovery methods described above. Signed-off-by: Piotr Dymacz <pepe2k@gmail.com>

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>

Hardware highlights: - CPU: QCA9563 SoC at 775MHz, - RAM: 128MB DDR2, - NOR Flash: MX25L1606E 2MB SPI Flash, for U-boot only, - NAND Flash: GD5F1G04UBYIG 128MB SPI NAND-Flash, for all other data, - Wi-Fi 5GHz: QCA9882 2x2 MIMO 802.11ac radio, - WI-Fi 2.4GHz: QCA9563 3x3 MIMO 802.11n radio, - Switch: QCA8337v2 4-port gigabit Ethernet, with single SGMII CPU port, - WWAN: MDM9230-based category 6 internal LTE modem in extended mini-PCIE form factor, with 3 internal antennas and 2 external antenna connections, single mini-SIM slot. Modem model identified as MF270, - 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 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 192.168.1.22. - 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.

* ath79: add support for reset key on MikroTik RB912UAG-2HPnDDenis Kalashnikov2022-01-197-8/+282
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On MikroTik RB91x board series a reset key shares SoC gpio line #15 with NAND ALE and NAND IO7. So we need a custom gpio driver to manage this non-trivial connection schema. Also rb91x-nand needs to have an ability to disable a polling of the key while it works with NAND. While we've been integrating rb91x-key into a firmware, we've figured out that: * In the gpio-latch driver we need to add a "cansleep" suffix to several gpiolib calls, * When gpio-latch and rb91x-nand fail to get a gpio and an error is -EPROBE_DEFER, they shouldn't report about this, since this actually is not an error and occurs when the gpio-latch probe function is called before the rb91x-key probe. We fix these related things here too.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

Unfortunately, the name of the mtd device in mtdparts is still using the legacy name "ar7240-nor0" which must be supplied using the Linux-specfic DT parameter linux,mtd-name to overwrite the generic name "spi0.0". Flashing instructions: ====================== Various methods can be used to install the actual image on the flash. 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>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was reported that some rb912 boards (ar934x) have issues with some ethernet speeds. Investigation shows that the board failed to adapt the ethernet pll values as shown here: [ 5.284359] ag71xx 19000000.eth: failed to read pll-handle property added custom prints in code and triggering a link switch: [ 62.821446] Atheros AG71xx: fast reset [ 62.826442] Atheros AG71xx: update pll 2 [ 62.830494] Atheros AG71xx: no pll regmap! Comparison with another very similar board (rb922 - QCA955x) showed a missing reference clock frequency in dts, which seems to cause a pll init issue. Unfortunately, no errors are printed when this occurs. Adding the frequency property fixes the pll init as it can be parsed now by the ethernet driver.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mtd: spi-nor: locking support for MX25L6405D Macronix MX25L6405D supports locking with four block-protection bits. Currently, the driver only sets three bits. If the bootloader does not sustain the flash chip in an unlocked state, the flash might be non-writeable. Add the corresponding flag to enable locking support with four bits in the status register. mtd: spi-nor: disable 16-bit-sr for macronix Macronix flash chips seem to consist of only one status register. These chips will not work with the "16-bit Write Status (01h) Command". Disable SNOR_F_HAS_16BIT_SR for all Macronix chips.
