* firmware-utils: add otrx tool for handling TRX imagesRafał Miłecki2017-11-172-0/+593
| | | | | | | | | It can be a replacement for the trx tool. The advantage is that otrx doesn't alloc buffer for the whole TRX which can be a nice optimization when creating big images. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl> Acked-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de>
* ar71xx: add support for TP-Link TL-WR1043N v5Tim Thorpe2017-11-141-1/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TP-Link TL-WR1043N v5 appears to be identical to the TL-WR1043ND v4, except that the USB port has been removed and there is no longer a removable antenna option. The software is more in line with the Archer series in that it uses a nested bootloader scheme. Specifications: - QCA9563 at 775 MHz - 64 MB RAM - 16 MB flash - 3 (non-detachable) Antennas / 450 Mbit - 1x/4x WAN/LAN Gbps Ethernet (QCA8337) - reset and Wi-Fi buttons Signed-off-by: Tim Thorpe <tim@tfthorpe.net> Signed-off-by: Ludwig Thomeczek <ledesrc@wxorx.net>

* ramips: add support for TP-Link TL-WR840N v5Robert Marko2017-11-081-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TP-Link TL-WR840N v5 is simple N300 router with 5-port FE switch and non-detachable antennas, based on MediaTek MT7628NN (aka MT7628N) WiSoC. Specification: - MT7628N/N (580 MHz) - 64 MB of RAM (DDR2) - 4 MB of FLASH - 2T2R 2.4 GHz - 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet - 2x external, non-detachable antennas - UART (J1) header on PCB (115200 8n1) - 1x LED (GPIO-controlled), 1x button * LED in TL-WR840N v5 is a dual-color, dual-leads type which isn't (fully) supported by gpio-leds driver. This type of LED requires both GPIOs state change at the same time to select color or turn it off. For now, we support/use only the green part of the LED. Orange LED is registered so you can later use it for your own purposes. Flash instruction: Unlike TL-WR840N v4 flashing through WEB UI works in v5. 1. Download lede-ramips-mt76x8-tl-wr840n-v5-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin image. 2. Go to 192.168.0.1 3. Flash the sysupgrade image through Firmware upgrade section of WEB UI. 4. Wait until green LED stops flashing and use the router. Notes: TFTP recovery is broken since TP-Link reused bootloader code for v4 and that does not take into account only 4 MB of flash and bricks the device. So do not use TFTP Recovery or you will have to rewrite SPI flash. They fixed it in later GPL code,but it is unknown which version of bootloader you have. After manually compiling and flashing bootloader from GPL sources TFTP recovery works properly. Signed-off-by: Robert Marko <robimarko@gmail.com>
* tools/firmware-utils: mktplinkfw* fix rootfs offsetThibaut VARÈNE2017-11-083-12/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With '-a' specified on the command line, the current code: - computes an aligned _kernel length_ instead of an aligned _rootfs offset_. - does not update the rootfs offset after computing the new kernel length, and instead retains the layout default. When the kernel length exceeds the available space left with this fixed offset, the resulting image header contains invalid data, with the recorded rootfs offset overlapping the kernel area. This patch ensures that rootfs offset is correctly computed and reflected in the final image. Furthermore, the build_fw() function special cases the rootfs_align option because of the above invalid logic. This is also fixed and the computed (or command-line provided, or layout-provided) rootfs_ofs value is used in all cases. There seems to be no valid reason to extend the kernel length beyond the actual length of the kernel itself (OFW images don't do it) so this part of the existing behavior is dropped. Example image before the patch: Kernel data offset : 0x00000200 / 512 bytes Kernel data length : 0x00158438 / 1410104 bytes Kernel load address : 0x00000080 Kernel entry point : 0x00000080 Rootfs data offset : 0x00140000 / 1310720 bytes Rootfs data length : 0x001e4f7e / 1986430 bytes Example image after the patch: Kernel data offset : 0x00000200 / 512 bytes Kernel data length : 0x001583fe / 1410046 bytes Kernel load address : 0x00000080 Kernel entry point : 0x00000080 Rootfs data offset : 0x00158600 / 1410560 bytes Rootfs data length : 0x001e4e22 / 1986082 bytes Tested-by: Mathias Kresin <dev@kresin.me> Tested-by: Stefan Lippers-Hollmann <s.l-h@gmx.de> Tested-by: Daniel Engberg <daniel.engberg.lists@pyret.net> Tested-by: Henryk Heisig <hyniu@o2.pl> Signed-off-by: Thibaut VARÈNE <hacks@slashdirt.org>

* tools/firmware-utils: mktplinkfw move build_fw() to libThibaut VARÈNE2017-10-064-148/+102
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves build_fw() to mktplinkfw-lib.c The versions of mktplinkfw.c and mktplinkfw2.c had slight differences in code flow, the version from mktplinkfw.c has been preferred. While it's expected that this change will not affect mktplinkfw2, all use cases could not be tested and so this particular change is committed separately.

* ramips: add support for TP-Link Archer C20 v1Maxim Anisimov2017-09-131-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TP-Link Archer C20 v1 is a router with 5-port FE switch and non-detachable antennas. It's very similiar to TP-Link Archer C50. Also it's based on MediaTek MT7620A+MT7610EN. Specification: - MediaTek MT7620A (580 Mhz) - 64 MB of RAM - 8 MB of FLASH - 2T2R 2.4 GHz and 1T1R 5 GHz - 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet - 2x external, non-detachable antennas - UART (J1) header on PCB (115200 8n1) - 8x LED (GPIO-controlled*), 2x button, power input switch - 1 x USB 2.0 port * WAN LED in this devices is a dual-color, dual-leads type which isn't (fully) supported by gpio-leds driver. This type of LED requires both GPIOs state change at the same time to select color or turn it off. For now, we support/use only the blue part of the LED. * MT7610EN ac chip isn't not supported by LEDE. Therefore 5Ghz won't work. Factory image notes: These devices use version 3 of TP-Link header, fortunately without RSA signature (at least in case of devices sold in Europe). The difference lays in the requirement for a non-zero value in "Additional Hardware Version" field. Ideally, it should match the value stored in vendor firmware header on device. We are able to prepare factory firwmare file which is accepted and (almost) correctly flashed from the vendor GUI. As it turned out, it accepts files without U-Boot image with second header at the beginning but due to some kind of bug in upgrade routine, flashed image gets corrupted before it's written to flash. So, to flash this device we must to prepare image using original firmware from tp-link site with uboot. Flash instruction: Until (if at all) TP-Link fixes described problem, the only way to flash LEDE image in these devices is to use tftp recovery mode in U-Boot. There are two ways to flash the device to LEDE: 1) Using tftp mode with UART connection and original LEDE image - Place lede-ramips-mt7620-ArcherC20-squashfs-factory.bin in tftp server directory - Configure PC with static IP 192.168.0.66/24 and tftp server. - Connect PC with one of LAN ports, power up the router and press key "4" to access U-Boot CLI. - Use the following commands to update the device to LEDE: setenv serverip 192.168.0.66 tftp 0x80060000 lede-ramips-mt7620-ArcherC20-squashfs-factory.bin erase tplink 0x20000 0x7a0000 cp.b 0x80060000 0x20000 0x7a0000 reset - After that the device will reboot and boot to LEDE 2) Using tftp mode without UART connection but require some manipulations with target image - Download and unpack TP-Link Archer C20 v1 firmware from original web site - Split uboot.bin from original firmware by this command (example): dd if=Archer_C20v1_0.9.1_4.0_up_boot(160427)_2016-04-27_13.53.59.bin of=uboot.bin bs=512 count=256 skip=1 - Create ArcherC20V1_tp_recovery.bin using this command: cat uboot.bin lede-ramips-mt7620-ArcherC20-squashfs-factory.bin > ArcherC20V1_tp_recovery.bin - Place ArcherC20V1_tp_recovery.bin in tftp server directory. - Configure PC with static IP 192.168.0.66/24 and tftp server. - Connect PC with one of LAN ports, press the reset button, power up the router and keep button pressed for around 6-7 seconds, until device starts downloading the file. - Router will download file from server, write it to flash and reboot.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We use combined option in "mktplinkfw" tool for generating initramfs kernel images and header for kernel inside "safeloader" image type (in fact, only for TL-WR1043ND v4 at this moment). There is also "mktplinkfw-kernel" tool, a stripped-down version, used only for generating "simple" header, for safeloader image types. This changes how "mktplinkfw" handles combined images (which then will allow us to drop the stripped-down version of the tool): - drop "ignore size" command line option (it was used only for combined images anyway) - don't require "flash layout id" for combined images (we don't need and shouldn't limit size of the initramfs kernel and for kernels inside safeloader images, the "tplink-safeloader" tool does the size check) - require kernel address and entry point in command line parameters for combined images (consequence of previous point) - don't include md5 sum and firmware length values in header (they are needed only for update from vendor GUI and are ingored in case of initramfs and "tplink-safeloader" images) - drop "fake" flash layout for TL-WR1043ND v4 as it's no longer needed Also, adjust "mktplinkfw-combined" command in ar71xx/image/tp-link.mk to match introduced changes in "mktplinkfw" tool.

Both are very similar and are based on MediaTek MT7628NN (aka MT7628N) WiSoC. The difference between these two models is in number of available LEDs, buttons and power input switch. This work is partially based on GitHub PR#974. Specification: - MT7628N/N (580 MHz) - 64 MB of RAM (DDR2) - 8 MB of FLASH - 2T2R 2.4 GHz - 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet - 2x external, non-detachable antennas - UART (J1) header on PCB (115200 8n1) - TL-WR840N v4: 5x LED (GPIO-controlled), 1x button - TL-WR841N v13: 8x LED (GPIO-controlled*), 2x button, power input switch * WAN LED in TL-WR841N v13 is a dual-color, dual-leads type which isn't (fully) supported by gpio-leds driver. This type of LED requires both GPIOs state change at the same time to select color or turn it off. For now, we support/use only the green part of the LED. Factory image notes: These devices use version 3 of TP-Link header, fortunately without RSA signature (at least in case of devices sold in Europe).

We are able to prepare factory firwmare file which is accepted and (almost) correctly flashed from the vendor GUI. As it turned out, it accepts files without U-Boot image with second header at the beginning but due to some kind of bug in upgrade routine, flashed image gets corrupted before it's written to flash. Tests showed that the GUI upgrade routine copies value of "Additional Hardware Version" from existing firmware into offset "0x2023c" in provided file, _before_ storing it in flash. In case of vendor firmware upgrade files (which all include U-Boot image and two headers), this offset points to the matching field in kernel+rootfs firmware part header. Unfortunately, in case of LEDE factory image file which contains only one header, it points to the offset "0x2023c" in kernel image. This leads to a corrupted kernel and ends up with a "soft-bricked" device. The good news is that U-Boot in these devices contains well known tftp recovery mode, which can be triggered with "reset" button. What's more, in comparison to some of older MediaTek based TP-Link devices, this recovery mode doesn't write whole file at offset "0x0" in flash, without verifying provided file in advance. In case of recovery mode in these devices, first "0x20000" bytes are always skipped and "0x7a0000" bytes from rest of the file are stored in flash at offset "0x20000". Flash instruction: Until (if at all) TP-Link fixes described problem, the only way to flash LEDE image in these devices is to use tftp recovery mode in U-Boot: 1. Configure PC with static IP 192.168.0.66/24 and tftp server. 2. Rename "lede-ramips-mt7628-tl-wr84...-squashfs-tftp-recovery.bin" to "tp_recovery.bin" and place it in tftp server directory. 3. Connect PC with one of LAN ports, press the reset button, power up the router and keep button pressed for around 6-7 seconds, until device starts downloading the file. 4. Router will download file from server, write it to flash and reboot. To access U-Boot CLI, keep pressed "4" key during boot. Signed-off-by: Piotr Dymacz <pepe2k@gmail.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As it turned out, some of new MediaTek based TP-Link devices use value from field at 0x3c offset in version 3 of TP-Link header to specify "Additional Hardware Version". Value from this field is validated during regular (GUI) firmware upgrade on devices like TL-WR840N v4 or TL-WR841N v13. If it's zero (based on some tests, it seems that firmware will accept anything != 0), errors like below are printed on console and upgrade fails: [ rsl_sys_updateFirmware ] 2137: Firmware Additional HardwareVersion check failed [ rdp_updateFirmware ] 345: perror:4506 Signed-off-by: Piotr Dymacz <pepe2k@gmail.com>

* firmware-utils: tplink-safeloader: support strings as soft_versionJan Niehusmann2017-06-111-1/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some TP-Link routers (C25, C59, C60) contain a version string instead of a binary structure in the soft_version partition. Flashing LEDE from the original firmware's GUI, this version string taken from the soft_ver partition of the firmware image is written to the router's config partition. When using tftp recovery to go back to the original Archer C25 firmware, a version check compares that version to the version of the firmware to be flashed. Without proper contents in the config partition, reverting to the original firmware fails. Therefore, write the string "soft_ver:1.0.0\n" to that soft_ver partition.

In the kernel partition, the kernel is compressed in a regular tp-link firmware that is just used for booting. Since it is only used for compressing and booting, only four fields are filled in the header: Vendor, version, kernel load address and kernel entry point. mktplinkfw-kernel is a simpler version of mktpolinkfw that generate such images. It also specifies the hardware id (as it is in the product info section), so when doing a sysupgrade - the existing code will check for hardware compatibility.
