From eb9e3651dd1a081e0d908e7e5162d6683098c1f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gabor Juhos Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2018 13:50:32 +0100 Subject: ar71xx: add support for the MikroTik RB911-2Hn/5Hn boards The patch adds support for the MikroTik RB911-2Hn (911 Lite2) and the RB911-5Hn (911 Lite5) boards: https://mikrotik.com/product/RB911-2Hn https://mikrotik.com/product/RB911-5Hn The two boards are using the same hardware design, the only difference between the two is the supported wireless band. Specifications: * SoC: Atheros AR9344 (600MHz) * RAM: 64MiB * Storage: 16 MiB SPI NOR flash * Ethernet: 1x100M (Passive PoE in) * Wireless: AR9344 built-in wireless MAC, single chain 802.11b/g/n (911-2Hn) or 802.11a/g/n (911-5Hn) Notes: * Older versions of these boards might be equipped with a NAND flash chip instead of the SPI NOR device. Those boards are not supported (yet). * The MikroTik RB911-5HnD (911 Lite5 Dual) board also uses the same hardware. Support for that can be added later with little effort probably. Installation: 1. Setup a DHCP/BOOTP Server with the following parameters: * DHCP-Option 66 (TFTP server name): pointing to a local TFTP server within the same subnet of the DHCP range * DHCP-Option 67 (Bootfile-Name): matching the initramfs filename of the to be booted image. The usable intramfs files are: - openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs.elf - openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs-lzma.elf - openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-rb-nor-flash-16M-initramfs-kernel.bin 2. Press the reset button on the board and keep that pressed. 3. Connect the board to your local network via its ethernet port. 4. Release the button after the LEDs on the board are turned off. Now the board should load and start the initramfs image from the TFTP server. 5. Upload the sysupgrade image to the board with scp: $ scp openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-rb-nor-flash-16M-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/fw.bin 5. Log in to the running system listening on 192.168.1.1 via ssh as root (without password): $ ssh root@192.168.1.1 7. Flash the uploaded firmware file from the ssh session via the sysupgrade command: root@OpenWrt:~# sysupgrade /tmp/fw.bin Signed-off-by: Gabor Juhos --- .../ar71xx/patches-4.9/701-MIPS-ath79-add-routerboard-detection.patch | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'target/linux/ar71xx/patches-4.9/701-MIPS-ath79-add-routerboard-detection.patch') diff --git a/target/linux/ar71xx/patches-4.9/701-MIPS-ath79-add-routerboard-detection.patch b/target/linux/ar71xx/patches-4.9/701-MIPS-ath79-add-routerboard-detection.patch index 625bb19ba5..64c7e881a7 100644 --- a/target/linux/ar71xx/patches-4.9/701-MIPS-ath79-add-routerboard-detection.patch +++ b/target/linux/ar71xx/patches-4.9/701-MIPS-ath79-add-routerboard-detection.patch @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ --- a/arch/mips/ath79/prom.c +++ b/arch/mips/ath79/prom.c -@@ -136,6 +136,30 @@ void __init prom_init(void) +@@ -136,6 +136,31 @@ void __init prom_init(void) initrd_end = initrd_start + fw_getenvl("initrd_size"); } #endif @@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ + strstr(arcs_cmdline, "board=2011L") || + strstr(arcs_cmdline, "board=2011r") || + strstr(arcs_cmdline, "board=711Gr100") || ++ strstr(arcs_cmdline, "board=911L") || + strstr(arcs_cmdline, "board=922gs")) + ath79_prom_append_cmdline("console", "ttyS0,115200"); } -- cgit v1.2.3
