* ath79: use dynamic partitioning for TP-Link CPE seriesMichael Pratt2021-06-181-22/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CPExxx and WBSxxx boards with AR9344 SOC use the OKLI lzma kernel loader with the offset of 3 blocks of length 4k (0x3000) in order to have a fake "kernel" that cannot grow larger than how it is defined in the now static OEM partition table. Before recent changes to the mtdsplit driver, the uImage parser for OKLI only supported images that started exactly on an eraseblock boundary. The mtdsplit parser for uImage now supports identifying images with any magic number value and at any offset from the eraseblock boundary using DTS properties to define those values. So, it is no longer necessary to use fixed sizes for kernel and rootfs Tested-by: Andrew Cameron <apcameron@softhome.net> [CPE510 v2] Tested-by: Bernhard Geier <freifunk@geierb.de> [WBS210 v2] Tested-by: Petrov <d7c48mWsPKx67w2@gmail.com> [CPE210 v1] Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt <mcpratt@pm.me> (cherry picked from commit 7b9a0c264cb9dc2c5a946a0aa9a290427a5e559c)
* ramips: add support for TP-Link Archer C6U v1 (EU)Georgi Vlaev2021-06-101-0/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for TP-Link Archer C6U v1 (EU). The device is also known in some market as Archer C6 v3. This patch supports only Archer C6U v1 (EU). Specifications: -------------- * SoC: Mediatek MT7621AT 2C2T, 880MHz * RAM: 128MB DDR3 * Flash: 16MB SPI NOR flash (Winbond 25Q128) * WiFi 5GHz: Mediatek MT7613BEN (2x2:2) * WiFi 2.4GHz: Mediatek MT7603EN (2x2:2) * Ethernet: MT7630, 5x 1000Base-T. * LED: Power, WAN, LAN, WiFi 2GHz and 5GHz, USB * Buttons: Reset, WPS. * UART: Serial console (115200 8n1), J1(GND:3) * USB: One USB2 port. Installation: ------------ Install the OpenWrt factory image for C6U is from the TP-Link web interface. 1) Go to "Advanced/System Tools/Firmware Update". 2) Click "Browse" and upload the OpenWrt factory image: openwrt-ramips-mt7621-tplink_archer-c6u-v1-squashfs-factory.bin. 3) Click the "Upgrade" button, and select "Yes" when prompted. Recovery to stock firmware: -------------------------- The C6U bootloader has a failsafe mode that provides a web interface (running at 192.168.0.1) for reverting back to the stock TP-Link firmware. The failsafe interface is triggered from the serial console or on failed kernel boot. Unfortunately, there's no key combination that enables the failsafe mode. This gives us two options for recovery: 1) Recover using the serial console (J1 header). The recovery interface can be selected by hitting 'x' when prompted on boot. 2) Trigger the bootloader failsafe mode. A more dangerous option is force the bootloader into recovery mode by erasing the OpenWrt partition from the OpenWrt's shell - e.g "mtd erase firmware". Please be careful, since erasing the wrong partition can brick your device.

* firmware-utils: zytrx: Add util for ZyXEL specific headerBjørn Mork2021-06-101-0/+226
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ZyXEL NR7101 prepend an additional header to U-Boot images. This header use the TRX magic 0x30524448 (HDR0), but is incompatible with TRX images. This code is reverse-engineered based on matching 32 bit numbers found in the header with lengths and different checksum calculations of the vendor images found on the device. The result was matched against the validation output produced by the bootloader to name the associated header fields. Example bootloader validation output: Zyxel TRX Image 1 --> Found! Header Checksum OK ============ZyXEL header information================== chipId : MT7621A boardId : NR7101 modelId : 07 01 00 01 kernel_len : (14177560) kernelChksum : (0x8DD31F69) swVersionInt : 1.00(ABUV.0)D1 swVersionExt : 1.00(ABUV.0)D1 Zyxel TRX Image 2 --> Found!

This field is not validated by the bootloader or the OEM firmware upgrade tool. It is therefore set to a static value for now. The swVersion fields contain free form string values. The OEM firmware use ZyXEL structured version numbers as shown above. The strings are not interpreted or validated on boot, so they can be repurposed for anything we want the bootloader to display to the user. But the OEM web GUI fails to flash images with freeform strings. The purpose of the other strings in the header is not known. The values appear to be static. We assume they are fixed for now, until we have other examples. One of these strings is the platform name, which is taken as an input parameter for support other members of the device family.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently it's not possible to flash factory images on devices shipped with vendor firmware versions 1.1.0 Build 20201120 rel. 50406 (published 2020-12-22): (curFw_ver, newFw_ver) == (1.1, 1.0) [NM_Error](nm_checkSoftVer) 00848: Firmwave not supports, check failed. [NM_Error](nm_checkUpdateContent) 01084: software version dismatched [NM_Error](nm_buildUpgradeStruct) 01188: checkUpdateContent failed. They've even following note in release notes: Note: You will be unable to downgrade to the previous firmware version after updating this firmware. This version check in vendor firmware is implemented in /usr/bin/nvrammanager binary likely as following C code[1]: sscanf(buf, "%d.%d.%*s",&upd_fw_major, &upd_fw_minor); ... if (((int)upd_fw_major < (int)cur_fw_major) || ((ret = 1, cur_fw_major == upd_fw_major && (upd_fw_minor < (int)cur_fw_minor)))) { ret = 0; printf("[NM_Error](%s) %05d: Firmwave not supports, check failed.\r\n\r\n","nm_checkSoftVer" ,0x350); } ... return ret; So in order to fix this and make it future proof it should be enough to ship our factory firmware images with major version 7 (lucky number).

* ramips: mt7621: add TP-Link EAP235-Wall supportSander Vanheule2021-02-191-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TP-Link EAP235-Wall is a wall-mounted, PoE-powered AC1200 access point with four gigabit ethernet ports. When connecting to the device's serial port, it is strongly advised to use an isolated UART adapter. This prevents linking different power domains created by the PoE power supply, which may damage your devices. The device's U-Boot supports saving modified environments with `saveenv`. However, there is no u-boot-env partition, and saving modifications will cause the partition table to be overwritten. This is not an issue for running OpenWrt, but will prevent the vendor FW from functioning properly. Device specifications: * SoC: MT7621DAT * RAM: 128MiB * Flash: 16MiB SPI-NOR * Wireless 2.4GHz (MT7603EN): b/g/n, 2x2 * Wireless 5GHz (MT7613BEN): a/n/ac, 2x2 * Ethernet: 4× GbE * Back side: ETH0, PoE PD port * Bottom side: ETH1, ETH2, ETH3 * Single white device LED * LED button, reset button (available for failsafe) * PoE pass-through on port ETH3 (enabled with GPIO) Datasheet of the flash chip specifies a maximum frequency of 33MHz, but that didn't work. 20MHz gives no errors with reading (flash dump) or writing (sysupgrade). Device mac addresses: Stock firmware uses the same MAC address for ethernet (on device label) and 2.4GHz wireless. The 5GHz wireless address is incremented by one. This address is stored in the 'info' ('default-mac') partition at an offset of 8 bytes. From OEM ifconfig: eth a4:2b:b0:...:88 ra0 a4:2b:b0:...:88 rai0 a4:2b:b0:...:89 Flashing instructions: * Enable SSH in the web interface, and SSH into the target device * run `cliclientd stopcs`, this should return "success" * upload the factory image via the web interface Debricking: U-boot can be interrupted during boot, serial console is 57600 baud, 8n1 This allows installing a sysupgrade image, or fixing the device in another way. * Access serial header from the side of the board, close to ETH3, pin-out is (1:TX, 2:RX, 3:GND, 4:3.3V), with pin 1 closest to ETH3. * Interrupt bootloader by holding '4' during boot, which drops the bootloader into its shell * Change default 'serverip' and 'ipaddr' variables (optional) * Download initramfs with `tftpboot`, and boot image with `bootm` # tftpboot 84000000 openwrt-initramfs.bin # bootm Revert to stock: Using the tplink-safeloader utility from the firmware-utils package, TP-Link's firmware image can be converted to an OpenWrt-compatible sysupgrade image: $ ./staging_dir/host/bin/tplink-safeloader -B EAP235-WALL-V1 \ -z EAP235-WALLv1_XXX_up_signed.bin -o eap235-sysupgrade.bin This can then be flashed using the OpenWrt sysupgrade interface. The image will appear to be incompatible and must be force flashed, without keeping the current configuration. Known issues: - DFS support is incomplete (known issue with MT7613) - MT7613 radio may stop responding when idling, reboot required. This was an issue with the ddc75ff704 version of mt76, but appears to have improved/disappeared with bc3963764d.

* firmware-utils: tplink-safeloader: refactor meta-partition paddingSander Vanheule2020-12-071-67/+88
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because some padding values in the TP-Link safeloader image generation were hardcoded, different values were sometimes used throughout a factory image. TP-Link's upgrade images use the same value everywhere, so let's do the same here. Although a lot of TP-Link's safeloader images have padded partition payloads, images for the EAP-series of AC devices don't. This padding is therefore also made optional. By replacing the type of the padding value byte with a wider datatype, new values outside of the previously valid range become available. Use these new values to denote that padding should not be performed. Because char might be signed, also replace the char literals by a numeric literal. Otherwise '\xff' might be sign extended to 0xffff. This results in factory images differing by 1 byte for: * C2600 * ARCHER-C5-V2 * ARCHERC9 * TLWA850REV2 * TLWA855REV1 * TL-WPA8630P-V2-EU * TL-WPA8630P-V2-INT * TL-WPA8630P-V2.1-EU * TLWR1043NDV4 * TL-WR902AC-V1 * TLWR942NV1 * RE200-V2 * RE200-V3 * RE220-V2 * RE305-V1 * RE350-V1 * RE350K-V1 * RE355 * RE450 * RE450-V2 * RE450-V3 * RE500-V1 * RE650-V1 The following factory images no longer have padding, shrinking the factory images by a few bytes for: * EAP225-OUTDOOR-V1 * EAP225-V3 * EAP225-WALL-V2 * EAP245-V1 * EAP245-V3 Signed-off-by: Sander Vanheule <sander@svanheule.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TP-Link safeloader firmware images contain a number of (small) partitions with information about the device. These consist of: * The data length as a 32-bit integer * A 32-bit zero padding * The partition data, with its length set in the first field The OpenWrt factory image partitions that follow this structure are soft-version, support-list, and extra-para. Refactor the code to put all common logic into one allocation call, and let the rest of the data be filled in by the original functions. Due to the extra-para changes, this patch results in factory images that change by 2 bytes (not counting the checksum) for three devices: * ARCHER-A7-V5 * ARCHER-C7-V4 * ARCHER-C7-V5 These were the devices where the extra-para blob didn't match the common format. The hardcoded data also didn't correspond to TP-Link's (recent) upgrade images, which actually matches the meta-partition format. A padding byte is also added to the extra-para partition for EAP245-V3. Signed-off-by: Sander Vanheule <sander@svanheule.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TP-Link has introduced a compatibility level to prevent certain downgrades. This information is stored in the soft-version partition, changing the data length from 0xc to 0x10. The compatibility level doesn't change frequently. For example, it has the following values for the EAP245v3 (released 2018-Q4): * FW v2.2.0 (2019-05-30): compat_level=0 * FW v2.3.0 (2019-07-31): compat_level=0 * FW v2.3.1 (2019-10-29): compat_level=1 * FW v2.20.0 (2020-04-23): compat_level=1 Empty flash values (0xffffffff) are interpreted as compat_level=0. If a firmware upgrade file has a soft-version block without compatibility level (data length < 0x10), this is also interpreted as compat_level=0. By including a high enough compatibility level in factory images, stock firmware can be convinced to accept the image. A compatibility level aware firmware will keep the original value.

Therefore, it seems to be the safest option to set the OpenWrt compatibility level to the highest known value instead of the highest possible value (0xfffffffe), to ensure users do not get unexpectedly refused firmware upgrades when using a device reverted back to stock. To remain compatible with existing devices and not produce different images, the image builder doesn't store a compatibility level if it is zero. Signed-off-by: Sander Vanheule <sander@svanheule.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TL-WPA8630P v2 is a HomePlug AV2 compatible device with a QCA9563 SoC and 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi modules. Specifications -------------- - QCA9563 750MHz, 2.4GHz WiFi - QCA9888 5GHz WiFi - 8MiB SPI Flash - 128MiB RAM - 3 GBit Ports (QCA8337) - PLC (QCA7550) MAC address assignment ---------------------- WiFi 2.4GHz and LAN share the same MAC address as printed on the label. 5GHz WiFi uses LAN-1, based on assumptions from similar devices. LAN Port assignment ------------------- While there are 3 physical LAN ports on the device, there will be 4 visible ports in OpenWrt. The fourth port (internal port 5) is used by the PowerLine Communication SoC and thus treated like a regular LAN port. Versions -------- Note that both TL-WPA8630 and TL-WPA8630P, as well as the different country-versions, differ in partitioning, and therefore shouldn't be cross-flashed. This adds support for the two known partitioning variants of the TL-WPA8630P, where the variants can be safely distinguished via the tplink-safeloader SupportList. For the non-P variants (TL-WPA8630), at least two additional partitioning schemes exist, and the same SupportList entry can have different partitioning. Thus, we don't support those officially (yet). Also note that the P version for Germany (DE) requires the international image version, but is properly protected by SupportList. In any case, please check the OpenWrt Wiki pages for the device before flashing anything! Installation ------------ Installation is possible from the OEM web interface. Make sure to install the latest OEM firmware first, so that the PLC firmware is at the latest version. However, please also check the Wiki page for hints according to altered partitioning between OEM firmware revisions. Additional thanks to Jon Davies and Joe Mullally for bringing order into the partitioning mess.

* tools/firmware-utils: use UTC for image timestampsSander Vanheule2020-08-072-2/+2
| | | | | | | | By using localtime() to determine the timestamp that goes into factory images, the resulting image depends on the timezone of the build system. Use gmtime() instead, which results in more reproducible images. Signed-off-by: Sander Vanheule <sander@svanheule.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TP-Link RE200 v3 is a wireless range extender with Ethernet and 2.4G and 5G WiFi with internal antennas. It's based on MediaTek MT7628AN+MT7610EN like the v2. Specifications -------------- - MediaTek MT7628AN (580 Mhz) - 64 MB of RAM - 8 MB of FLASH - 2T2R 2.4 GHz and 1T1R 5 GHz - 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet - 8x LED (GPIO-controlled), 2x button Unverified: - UART header on PCB (57600 8n1) There are 2.4G and 5G LEDs in red and green which are controlled separately. MAC addresses ------------- MAC address assignment has been done according to the RE200 v2. The label MAC address matches the OpenWrt ethernet address. Installation ------------ Web Interface ------------- It is possible to upgrade to OpenWrt via the web interface. Simply flash the -factory.bin from OEM. In contrast to a stock firmware, this will not overwrite U-Boot. Recovery -------- Unfortunately, this devices does not offer a recovery mode or a tftp installation method. If the web interface upgrade fails, you have to open your device and attach serial console. The device has not been opened for adding support. However, it is expected that the behavior is similar to the RE200 v2. Instructions for serial console and recovery may be checked out in commit 6d6f36ae787c ("ramips: add support for TP-Link RE200 v2") or on the device's Wiki page.

* ramips: fix/tidy up 4M tplink-v2-image flash layoutsAdrian Schmutzler2020-08-031-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the TP-Link 4M devices with tplink-v2-image recipe (mktplinkfw2.c), there are two different flash layouts based on the size of the (u)boot partition: device uboot OEM firmware OpenWrt (incl. config) tl-wr840n-v5 0x20000 0x3c0000 0x3d0000 tl-wr841n-v14 0x10000 0x3d0000 0x3e0000 In both cases, the 0x10000 config partition is used for the firmware partition as well due to the limited space available and since it's recreated by the OEM firmware anyway. However, the TFTP flashing process will only copy data up to the size of the initial (OEM) firmware size. Therefore, while we can use the bigger partition to have additional erase blocks on the device, we have to limit the image sizes to the TFTP limits. So far, only one layout definition has been set up in mktplinkfw2.c for 4M mediatek devices. This adds a second one and assigns them to the devices so the image sizes are correctly restrained.
