The flash layout on the Storlink reference design for Gemini
is using 2 MB flash for the kernel, and it also insists on
overwriting the partition table with default values on every
boot. The same is true for the SQ201. This poses a problem
on recent OpenWrt firmware as the base zImage is bigger
than 2 MB.
At the same time there is a ramdisk partition of 6 MB that we
don't really need. The partition table looks like this:
Creating 7 MTD partitions on "30000000.flash":
0x000000000000-0x000000016000 : "BOOT"
0x000000120000-0x000000320000 : "Kern"
0x000000320000-0x000000920000 : "Ramdisk"
0x000000920000-0x000000f20000 : "Application"
0x000000f20000-0x000000f40000 : "VCTL"
0x000000f40000-0x000000fe0000 : "CurConf"
0x000000fe0000-0x000001000000 : "FIS directory"
On boot the "Kern" partition is copied to RAM @0x01600000
and the "Ramdisk" partition is copied to RAM @0x00800000.
Then the kernel is executed.
The idea with this patch is to extend the "Kern" partition
with the "Ramdisk" partition to get a full 8 MB to use
for the kernel. Then we put the OpenWrt JFFS2 rootfs
inside the "Application" partition.
We create a small assembly loop that we prepend to the
"Kern" image that will copy the "Kern" from 0x0160000
and the "Ramdisk" from 0x00800000 and put them in
consecutive space at 0x00400000 and execute it from
there, using "Application" as rootfs.
We generate 3 main files:
- zImage - contains the assembly bootstrap loop and
the first part of the generated kernel image
- rd.gz - contains the second part of the generated
kernel image
- hddapp.tgz - contains the root filesystem
On the SQ201 I flash these manually using the native boot
loader PLATO, "Y" alternative for the zImage, "R" for
the rd.gz image and "A" for hddapp.tgz.
This works fine and I can now boot to prompt on the SQ201
with nothing but flash.

This package just contains a small Gemini-only assembler
bootstrap loop to copy the kernel from the two fragments
(previously zImage at 0x01600000 and initramdisk at 0x00800000)
into one big zImage of up to 8 MB at 0x00400000.
It will be built on demand from the Gemini image Makefile.

Unconditionally execute the final case statement, even if the disk layout
changed. This is necessary, to keep the original Turris Omnia flash
instructions working: The disk layout WILL change, when switching from
TurrisOS to OpenWRT. Without updating the uboot environment at the same
time, the user would end up with an unbootable system.

This commit unifies the LED mapping of the AVM Fritz!Box routers, which
have a combined Power/DSL LED.
With the stock firmware, the Power LED has the following
characteristics:
- Blink when DSL sync is being established
- Solid when DSL sync is present
We can't completely resemble this behavior in OpenWrt. Currently, the
Power LED is completely off, when DSL sync is missing. This is not
really helpful, as a user might have the impression, that he bricked his
device.
Instead, map the Info-LED to the state of the DSL connection.
There is no consistent behavior for the Info-LED in the stock
firmware, as the user can set it's function by himself. The DSL
connection state is one possible option for the Info LED there.
Also use the red Power LED to indicate a running upgrade, in case the
board has a two-color Power LED.

The AVM Fritz!Box 7530 (and probably other AVM IPQ4019 NAND devices)
has it's caldata not stored consistently, but instead at currently
3 known possible offsets.
As we get a non-zero exit code from fritz_cal_extract, simply try all
three possible offsets on both bootloader partitions, until a matching
caldata for each radio is found.

This changes size and offset set for WiFi caldata extraction and
MAC address adjustment to hexadecimal notation.
This will be much clearer for the reader when numbers are big, and
will also match the style used for mtd-cal-data in DTS files.
Since dd cannot deal with hexadecimal notation, one has to convert
back to decimal by simple $(($hexnum)).

Upstream commit 246902bdf562d45ea3475fac64c93048a7a39f01
Which contains following explanation:
--
There is no need to use GFP_ATOMIC here, GFP_KERNEL should be enough.
The 'kcalloc()' just a few lines above, already uses GFP_KERNEL.
--
Looking at the code, all other descriptors also use plain GFP_KERNEL

This is a dual band 11a/11n router with 1x wan and 4x gig lan ports.
There are two versions of this router which can be identified through
the factory web interface, v1 has 128mb ram and a uboot size of 128k,
v2 has 256mb ram and a uboot size of 256k, the remaining hardware and
PCB markings are the same.
Short specification:
SoC: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9558 - 720 MHz
Switch: Atheros AR8327
Second radio : Qualcomm Atheros QCA9880 802.11ac
4 LAN/1 WAN 1000Mps Ethernet
256 MB of RAM (DDR2)
16 MB of FLASH
3x2.4 GHz, 3x5GHz antennas
Steps to install :
Option A : Use vendor UI
Option B (if A is not working) :
(a) Download 'backup' from vendor UI and rename it backup.tar.gz
(b) Open the archive, and update the root password in /etc/shadow by
'$1$9wX3HGfB$X5Sb3kqzzBLdKRUR2kfFd0'
(c) 'Restore' from the archive using the vendor UI. Root password is now
'aaa'
(d) Scp the firwmware to the device:
$ scp <openwrt-sysupgrade>.bin root@192.168.1.1:/
(d) ssh to the device and flash the firmware:
$ cd /
$ mtd -e firmware -r write <openwrt-sysupgrade>.bin firmware

Taken code from https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/884850/ that was never
pushed by the author, and adapted to ath79.
The Comfast E314N-V2 is a 2.4 GHz 2x2 radio with a built-in directional
antenna and a second Ethernet port - very similar to the Ubiquiti
NanoStation M2. The Ethernet port features a pass-through PoE capability,
enabled or disabled with a slide switch.
Specifications :
- System-On-Chip: Qualcomm/Atheros QCA9531
- CPU/Speed: 650 MHz
- Flash size: 8 MiB
- RAM: 64 MiB
- 2 Ethernet 1Gbp
- 1 reset button
- 1 switch to choose PoE from LAN or Wan. 48Vdc
- Wifi 2.4 Ghz (b/g/n)
- UART inside the box (3.3V, pins marked on the PCB)
Firmware can be flashed on these units by the following method:
1.) Apply power to the unit
2.) Immediately AFTER applying power, hold down the reset button
3.) The WAN, LAN, and wireless lights will flash - wait three seconds
(three flashes) and then release the button.
4.) After a second, the lights will flutter quickly and the unit will be
visible at 192.168.1.1. A web page will be available to enable quick
and simple uploading and flashing of firmware.
During the boot process, these units also look for a tftp server at
192.168.1.10. If one is present, the firmware can be uploaded as a file
called firmware-auto.bin

Specifications:
- SoC: AR9341
- RAM: 64M
- Flash: 16M
- Ethernet: 1 * FE port
- WiFi: ar934x-wmac
- Sound: WM8918 DAC
1 * 3.5mm headphone jack
2 * RCA connectors for speakers
1 * SPDIF out
- USB: 1 * USB2.0 port
Flash instruction:
Upload generated factory image via vendor's web interface.
Notes:
A. Audio stuff:
1. Since AR934x, all pins for peripheral blocks can be mapped to
any available GPIOs. We currently don't have a PCM/I2S driver
for AR934x so pinmux for i2s and SPDIF are bound to i2c gpio
node. This should be moved into I2S node when a PCM/I2S driver
is available.
2. The i2c-gpio node is for WM8918. DT binding for it can't be added
currently due to a missing clock from I2S PLL.
B. Factory image:
Image contains a image header and a tar.gz archive.
1. Header: A 288 byte header that has nothing to do with appended
tarball. Format:
0x0-0x7 and 0x18-0x1F: magic values
0x20: Model number string
0xFC: Action string. It's either "update" or "backup"
0x11C: A 1 byte checksum. It's XOR result of 0x8-0x11B
Firmware doesn't care about the rest of the header as long as
checksum result is correct.
The same header is used for backup and update routines so the
magic values and model number can be obtained by generating a
backup bin and grab values from it.
2. Tarball: It contains two files named uImage and rootfs, which
will be flashed into corresponding mtd partition.
Writing a special utility that can only output a fixed binary
blob is overkill so factory image header is placed under
image/bin instead.
C. LED
The wifi led has "Wi-Fi" marked on the case but vendor's firmware
used it as system status indicator. I did the same in this device
support patch.
D. Firmware
Factory u-boot is built without 'savenv' support so it's impossible
to change kernel offset. A 2MB kernel partition won't be enough in
the future. OKLI loader is used here to migrate this problem:
1. add OKLI image magic support into uImage parser.
2. build an OKLI loader, compress it with lzma and add a normal
uImage header.
3. flash the loader to where the original kernel supposed to be.
4. create a uImage firmware using OKLI loader.
5. flash the created firmware to where rootfs supposed to be.
By doing so, u-boot will start OKLI loader, which will then load
the actual kernel at 0x20000.
The kernel partition is 2MB, which is too much for our loader.
To save this space, "mtd-concat" is used here:
1. create a 64K (1 erase block) partition for OKLI loader and
create another partition with the left space.
2. concatenate rootfs and this partition into a virtual flash.
3. use the virtual flash for firmware partition.
Currently OKLI loader is flashed with factory image only.
sysupgrade won't replace it. Since it only has one function
and it works for several years, its unlikely to have some bugs
that requires a replacement.
