* ramips: remove model name from LED labelsAdrian Schmutzler2020-10-021-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Like in the previous patch for ath79 target, this will remove the "devicename" from LED labels in ramips as well. The devicename is removed in DTS files and 01_leds, consolidation of definitions into DTSI files is done where (easily) possible, and migration scripts are updated. For the latter, all existing definitions were actually just devicename migrations anyway. Therefore, those are removed and a common migration file is created in target base-files. This is actually another example of how the devicename removal makes things easier. Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler <freifunk@adrianschmutzler.de>
* ramips: move dts-v1 statement to top-level DTSI filesAdrian Schmutzler2020-09-251-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "/dts-v1/;" identifier is supposed to be present once at the top of a device tree file after the includes have been processed. In ramips, we therefore requested to have in the DTS files so far, and omit it in the DTSI files. However, essentially the syntax of the parent mtxxxx/rtxxxx DTSI files already determines the DTS version, so putting it into the DTS files is just a useless repetition. Consequently, this patch puts the dts-v1 statement into the top-level SoC-based DTSI files, and removes all other occurences. Since the dts-v1 statement needs to be before any other definitions, this also moves the includes accordingly where necessary. Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler <freifunk@adrianschmutzler.de>
* ramips: add support for Winstars WS-WN583A6Davide Fioravanti2020-07-251-0/+150
The Winstars WS-WN583A6 is a wireless repeater with 2 gigabit ethernet ports. Even if mine is branded as "Gemeita AC2100", the sticker on the back says WS-WN583A6. So I will refer to it as Winstars WS-WN583A6. Probably the real product name is the Wavlink WL-WN583A6 because of the many references to Wavlink in the OEM firmware and bootlog. Hardware -------- SoC: Mediatek MT7621AT (880 MHz, 2 cores 4 threads) RAM: 128MB FLASH: 8MB NOR (GigaDevice GD25Q64B) ETH: 2x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet (MT7530) WIFI: - 2.4GHz: 1x MT7603E (2x2:2) - 5GHz: 1x MT7615E (4x4:4) - 6 internal antennas BTN: - 1x Reset button - 1x WPS button - 1x ON/OFF switch (working but unmodifiable) - 1x Auto/Schedule switch (working but unmodifiable. Read Note #3) LEDS: - 1x White led - 1x Red led - 1x Amber led - 1x Blue led - 2x Blue leds (lan and wan port status: working but unmodifiable) UART: - 57600-8-N-1 Everything works correctly. Currently there is no firmware update available. Because of this, in order to restore the OEM firmware, you must firstly dump the OEM firmware from your router before you flash the OpenWrt image. Backup the OEM Firmware ----------------------- The following steps are to be intended for users having little to none experience in linux. Obviously there are many ways to backup the OEM firmware, but probably this is the easiest way for this router. Procedure tested on M83A6.V5030.191210 firmware version. 1) Go to http://192.168.10.1/webcmd.shtml 2) Type the following line in the "Command" input box: mkdir /etc_ro/lighttpd/www/dev; for i in /dev/mtd*ro; do dd if=${i} of=/etc_ro/lighttpd/www${i}; done 3) Click "Apply" 4) After few seconds, in the textarea should appear this output: 16384+0 records in 16384+0 records out 8388608 bytes (8.0MB) copied, 4.038820 seconds, 2.0MB/s 384+0 records in 384+0 records out 196608 bytes (192.0KB) copied, 0.095180 seconds, 2.0MB/s 128+0 records in 128+0 records out 65536 bytes (64.0KB) copied, 0.032020 seconds, 2.0MB/s 128+0 records in 128+0 records out 65536 bytes (64.0KB) copied, 0.031760 seconds, 2.0MB/s 15744+0 records in 15744+0 records out 8060928 bytes (7.7MB) copied, 3.885280 seconds, 2.0MB/s dd: can't open '/dev/mtd5ro': No such device dd: can't open '/dev/mtd6ro': No such device dd: can't open '/dev/mtd7ro': No such device Excluding the "X.XXXXXX seconds" part, you should get the same exact output. If your output doesn't match mine, stop reading and ask for help in the forum. 5) Open the following links to download the partitions of the OEM FW: http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd0ro http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd1ro http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd2ro http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd3ro http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd4ro If one (or more) of these files weight 0 byte, stop reading and ask for help in the forum. 6) Store these downloaded files in a safe place. 7) Reboot your router to remove any temporary file from your router. Installation ------------ Flash the initramfs image in the OEM firmware interface. When openwrt boots, flash the sysupgrade image otherwise you won't be able to keep configuration between reboots. Restore OEM Firmware -------------------- Flash the "mtd4ro" file you previously backed-up directly from LUCI. Warning: Remember to not keep settings! Warning2: Remember to force the flash. Notes ----- 1) The "System Command" page allows to run every command as root. For example you can use "dd" and "nc" to backup the OEM firmware. PC (SERVER): nc -l 5555 > ./mtdXro ROUTER (CLIENT): dd if=/dev/mtdXro | nc PC_IP_ADDRESS 5555 2) The OEM web interface accepts only images containing the string "WN583A6" in the filename. Currently the OEM interface accepts only the initramfs image probably because it checks if the ih_size in the image header is equal to the whole image size (instead of the kernel size) Read more here: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/support-for-strong-1200/22768/19 3) The white led (namely "Smart Night Light") can be controller by the user only if the side switch is set to "Schedule" otherwise it will be activated by the light condition (there is a photodiode on the top side of the router) 4) Router mac addresses: LAN XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:8F WAN XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:90 WIFI 2G XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:91 WIFI 5G XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:92 LABEL XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:91 Signed-off-by: Davide Fioravanti <pantanastyle@gmail.com> [remove chosen node, fix whitespace] Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler <freifunk@adrianschmutzler.de>
