* ath79: ZTE MF286[A,R]: add "Power button blocker" GPIO switchLech Perczak2022-05-151-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ZTE MF286A and MF286R feature a "power switch override" GPIO in stock firmware as means to prevent power interruption during firmware update, especially when used with internal battery. To ensure that this GPIO is properly driven as in stock firmware, configure it with userspace GPIO switch. It was observed that on some units, the modem would not be restarted together with the board itself on reboot, this should help with that as well. Signed-off-by: Lech Perczak <lech.perczak@gmail.com>

Hardware highlights: - CPU: QCA9563 SoC at 775MHz, - RAM: 128MB DDR2, - NOR Flash: MX25L1606E 2MB SPI Flash, for U-boot only, - NAND Flash: W25N01GV 128MB SPI NAND-Flash, for all other data, - Wi-Fi 5GHz: QCA9886 2x2 MIMO 802.11ac Wave2 radio, - WI-Fi 2.4GHz: QCA9563 3x3 MIMO 802.11n radio, - Switch: QCA8337v2 4-port gigabit Ethernet, with single SGMII CPU port, - WWAN: [MF286A] MDM9230-based category 6 internal LTE modem [MF286R] PXA1826-based category 7 internal LTE modem in extended mini-PCIE form factor, with 3 internal antennas and 2 external antenna connections, single mini-SIM slot. - FXS: one external ATA port (handled entirely by modem part) with two physical connections in parallel, - USB: Single external USB 2.0 port, - Switches: power switch, WPS, Wi-Fi and reset buttons, - LEDs: Wi-Fi, Test (internal). Rest of LEDs (Phone, WWAN, Battery, Signal state) handled entirely by modem. 4 link status LEDs handled by the switch on the backside. - Battery: 3Ah 1-cell Li-Ion replaceable battery, with charging and monitoring handled by modem. - Label MAC device: eth0 The device shares many components with previous model, MF286, differing mostly by a Wave2 5GHz radio, flash layout and internal LED color. In case of MF286A, the modem is the same as in MF286. MF286R uses a different modem based on Marvell PXA1826 chip. Internal modem of MF286A is supported via uqmi, MF286R modem isn't fully supported, but it is expected to use comgt-ncm for connection, as it uses standard 3GPP AT commands for connection establishment. Console connection: connector X2 is the console port, with the following pinout, starting from pin 1, which is the topmost pin when the board is upright: - VCC (3.3V). Do not use unless you need to source power for the converer from it. - TX - RX - GND Default port configuration in U-boot as well as in stock firmware is 115200-8-N-1. Installation: Due to different flash layout from stock firmware, sysupgrade from within stock firmware is impossible, despite it's based on QSDK which itself is based on OpenWrt. STEP 0: Stock firmware update: As installing OpenWrt cuts you off from official firmware updates for the modem part, it is recommended to update the stock firmware to latest version before installation, to have built-in modem at the latest firmware version. STEP 1: gaining root shell: Method 1: This works if busybox has telnetd compiled in the binary. If this does not work, try method 2. Using well-known exploit to start telnetd on your router - works only if Busybox on stock firmware has telnetd included: - Open stock firmware web interface - Navigate to "URL filtering" section by going to "Advanced settings", then "Firewall" and finally "URL filter". - Add an entry ending with "&&telnetd&&", for example "http://hostname/&&telnetd&&". - telnetd will immediately listen on port 4719. - After connecting to telnetd use "admin/admin" as credentials. Method 2: This works if busybox does not have telnetd compiled in. Notably, this is the case in DNA.fi firmware. If this does not work, try method 3. - Set IP of your computer to 192.168.0.22. (or appropriate subnet if changed) - Have a TFTP server running at that address - Download MIPS build of busybox including telnetd, for example from: https://busybox.net/downloads/binaries/1.21.1/busybox-mips and put it in it's root directory. Rename it as "telnetd". - As previously, login to router's web UI and navigate to "URL filtering" - Using "Inspect" feature, extend "maxlength" property of the input field named "addURLFilter", so it looks like this: <input type="text" name="addURLFilter" id="addURLFilter" maxlength="332" class="required form-control"> - Stay on the page - do not navigate anywhere - Enter "http://aa&zte_debug.sh 192.168.0.22 telnetd" as a filter. - Save the settings. This will download the telnetd binary over tftp and execute it. You should be able to log in at port 23, using "admin/admin" as credentials. Method 3: If the above doesn't work, use the serial console - it exposes root shell directly without need for login. Some stock firmwares, notably one from finnish DNA operator lack telnetd in their builds. STEP 2: Backing up original software: As the stock firmware may be customized by the carrier and is not officially available in the Internet, IT IS IMPERATIVE to back up the stock firmware, if you ever plan to returning to stock firmware. It is highly recommended to perform backup using both methods, to avoid hassle of reassembling firmware images in future, if a restore is needed. Method 1: after booting OpenWrt initramfs image via TFTP: PLEASE NOTE: YOU CANNOT DO THIS IF USING INTERMEDIATE FIRMWARE FOR INSTALLATION. - Dump stock firmware located on stock kernel and ubi partitions: ssh root@192.168.1.1: cat /dev/mtd4 > mtd4_kernel.bin ssh root@192.168.1.1: cat /dev/mtd9 > mtd9_ubi.bin And keep them in a safe place, should a restore be needed in future. Method 2: using stock firmware: - Connect an external USB drive formatted with FAT or ext4 to the USB port. - The drive will be auto-mounted to /var/usb_disk - Check the flash layout of the device: cat /proc/mtd It should show the following: mtd0: 000a0000 00010000 "u-boot" mtd1: 00020000 00010000 "u-boot-env" mtd2: 00140000 00010000 "reserved1" mtd3: 000a0000 00020000 "fota-flag" mtd4: 00080000 00020000 "art" mtd5: 00080000 00020000 "mac" mtd6: 000c0000 00020000 "reserved2" mtd7: 00400000 00020000 "cfg-param" mtd8: 00400000 00020000 "log" mtd9: 000a0000 00020000 "oops" mtd10: 00500000 00020000 "reserved3" mtd11: 00800000 00020000 "web" mtd12: 00300000 00020000 "kernel" mtd13: 01a00000 00020000 "rootfs" mtd14: 01900000 00020000 "data" mtd15: 03200000 00020000 "fota" mtd16: 01d00000 00020000 "firmware" Differences might indicate that this is NOT a MF286A device but one of other variants. - Copy over all MTD partitions, for example by executing the following: for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15; do cat /dev/mtd$i > \ /var/usb_disk/mtd$i; done "Firmware" partition can be skipped, it is a concatenation of "kernel" and "rootfs". - If the count of MTD partitions is different, this might indicate that this is not a MF286A device, but one of its other variants. - (optionally) rename the files according to MTD partition names from /proc/mtd - Unmount the filesystem: umount /var/usb_disk; sync and then remove the drive. - Store the files in safe place if you ever plan to return to stock firmware. This is especially important, because stock firmware for this device is not available officially, and is usually customized by the mobile providers. STEP 3: Booting initramfs image: Method 1: using serial console (RECOMMENDED): - Have TFTP server running, exposing the OpenWrt initramfs image, and set your computer's IP address as 192.168.0.22. This is the default expected by U-boot. You may wish to change that, and alter later commands accordingly. - Connect the serial console if you haven't done so already, - Interrupt boot sequence by pressing any key in U-boot when prompted - Use the following commands to boot OpenWrt initramfs through TFTP: setenv serverip 192.168.0.22 setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.1 tftpboot 0x81000000 openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286a-initramfs-kernel.bin bootm 0x81000000 (Replace server IP and router IP as needed). There is no emergency TFTP boot sequence triggered by buttons, contrary to MF283+. - When OpenWrt initramfs finishes booting, proceed to actual installation. Method 2: using initramfs image as temporary boot kernel This exploits the fact, that kernel and rootfs MTD devices are consecutive on NAND flash, so from within stock image, an initramfs can be written to this area and booted by U-boot on next reboot, because it uses "nboot" command which isn't limited by kernel partition size. - Download the initramfs-kernel.bin image - After backing up the previous MTD contents, write the images to the "firmware" MTD device, which conveniently concatenates "kernel" and "rootfs" partitions that can fit the initramfs image: nandwrite -p /dev/<firmware-mtd> \ /var/usb_disk/openwrt-ath79-zte_mf286a-initramfs-kernel.bin - If write is OK, reboot the device, it will reboot to OpenWrt initramfs: reboot -f - After rebooting, SSH into the device and use sysupgrade to perform proper installation. Method 3: using built-in TFTP recovery (LAST RESORT): - With that method, ensure you have complete backup of system's NAND flash first. It involves deliberately erasing the kernel. - Download "-initramfs-kernel.bin" image for the device. - Prepare the recovery image by prepending 8MB of zeroes to the image, and name it root_uImage: dd if=/dev/zero of=padding.bin bs=8M count=1 cat padding.bin openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286a-initramfs-kernel.bin > root_uImage - Set up a TFTP server at 192.0.0.1/8. Router will use random address from that range. - Put the previously generated "root_uImage" into TFTP server root directory. - Deliberately erase "kernel" partition" using stock firmware after taking backup. THIS IS POINT OF NO RETURN. - Restart the device. U-boot will attempt flashing the recovery initramfs image, which will let you perform actual installation using sysupgrade. This might take a considerable time, sometimes the router doesn't establish Ethernet link properly right after booting. Be patient. - After U-boot finishes flashing, the LEDs of switch ports will all light up. At this moment, perform power-on reset, and wait for OpenWrt initramfs to finish booting. Then proceed to actual installation. STEP 4: Actual installation: - Set your computer IP to 192.168.1.22/24 - scp the sysupgrade image to the device: scp openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin \ root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/ - ssh into the device and execute sysupgrade: sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin - Wait for router to reboot to full OpenWrt. STEP 5: WAN connection establishment Since the router is equipped with LTE modem as its main WAN interface, it might be useful to connect to the Internet right away after installation. To do so, please put the following entries in /etc/config/network, replacing the specific configuration entries with one needed for your ISP: config interface 'wan' option proto 'qmi' option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0' option auth '<auth>' # As required, usually 'none' option pincode '<pin>' # If required by SIM option apn '<apn>' # As required by ISP option pdptype '<pdp>' # Typically 'ipv4', or 'ipv4v6' or 'ipv6' For example, the following works for most polish ISPs config interface 'wan' option proto 'qmi' option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0' option auth 'none' option apn 'internet' option pdptype 'ipv4' The required minimum is: config interface 'wan' option proto 'qmi' option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0' In this case, the modem will use last configured APN from stock firmware - this should work out of the box, unless your SIM requires PIN which can't be switched off. If you have build with LuCI, installing luci-proto-qmi helps with this task. Restoring the stock firmware: Preparation: If you took your backup using stock firmware, you will need to reassemble the partitions into images to be restored onto the flash. The layout might differ from ISP to ISP, this example is based on generic stock firmware The only partitions you really care about are "web", "kernel", and "rootfs". These are required to restore the stock firmware through factory TFTP recovery. Because kernel partition was enlarged, compared to stock firmware, the kernel and rootfs MTDs don't align anymore, and you need to carve out required data if you only have backup from stock FW: - Prepare kernel image cat mtd12_kernel.bin mtd13_rootfs.bin > owrt_kernel.bin truncate -s 4M owrt_kernel_restore.bin - Cut off first 1MB from rootfs dd if=mtd13_rootfs.bin of=owrt_rootfs.bin bs=1M skip=1 - Prepare image to write to "ubi" meta-partition: cat mtd6_reserved2.bi mtd7_cfg-param.bin mtd8_log.bin mtd9_oops.bin \ mtd10_reserved3.bin mtd11_web.bin owrt_rootfs.bin > \ owrt_ubi_ubi_restore.bin You can skip the "fota" partition altogether, it is used only for stock firmware update purposes and can be overwritten safely anyway. The same is true for "data" partition which on my device was found to be unused at all. Restoring mtd5_cfg-param.bin will restore the stock firmware configuration you had before. Method 1: Using initramfs: This method is recmmended if you took your backup from within OpenWrt initramfs, as the reassembly is not needed. - Boot to initramfs as in step 3: - Completely detach ubi0 partition using ubidetach /dev/ubi0_0 - Look up the kernel and ubi partitions in /proc/mtd - Copy over the stock kernel image using scp to /tmp - Erase kernel and restore stock kernel: (scp mtd4_kernel.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/) mtd write <kernel_mtd> mtd4_kernel.bin rm mtd4_kernel.bin - Copy over the stock partition backups one-by-one using scp to /tmp, and restore them individually. Otherwise you might run out of space in tmpfs: (scp mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/) mtd write <ubiconcat0_mtd> mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin rm mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin (scp mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/) mtd write <ubiconcat1_mtd> mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin rm mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin - If the write was correct, force a device reboot with reboot -f Method 2: Using live OpenWrt system (NOT RECOMMENDED): - Prepare a USB flash drive contatining MTD backup files - Ensure you have kmod-usb-storage and filesystem driver installed for your drive - Mount your flash drive mkdir /tmp/usb mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/usb - Remount your UBI volume at /overlay to R/O mount -o remount,ro /overlay - Write back the kernel and ubi partitions from USB drive cd /tmp/usb mtd write mtd4_kernel.bin /dev/<kernel_mtd> mtd write mtd9_ubi.bin /dev/<kernel_ubi> - If everything went well, force a device reboot with reboot -f Last image may be truncated a bit due to lack of space in RAM, but this will happen over "fota" MTD partition which may be safely erased after reboot anyway. Method 3: using built-in TFTP recovery: This method is recommended if you took backups using stock firmware. - Assemble a recovery rootfs image from backup of stock partitions by concatenating "web", "kernel", "rootfs" images dumped from the device, as "root_uImage" - Use it in place of "root_uImage" recovery initramfs image as in the TFTP pre-installation method. Quirks and known issuesa - It was observed, that CH340-based USB-UART converters output garbage during U-boot phase of system boot. At least CP2102 is known to work properly. - Kernel partition size is increased to 4MB compared to stock 3MB, to accomodate future kernel updates - at this moment OpenWrt 5.10 kernel image is at 2.5MB which is dangerously close to the limit. This has no effect on booting the system - but keep that in mind when reassembling an image to restore stock firmware. - uqmi seems to be unable to change APN manually, so please use the one you used before in stock firmware first. If you need to change it, please use protocok '3g' to establish connection once, or use the following command to change APN (and optionally IP type) manually: echo -ne 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","<apn>' > /dev/ttyUSB0 - The only usable LED as a "system LED" is the blue debug LED hidden inside the case. All other LEDs are controlled by modem, on which the router part has some influence only on Wi-Fi LED. - Wi-Fi LED currently doesn't work while under OpenWrt, despite having correct GPIO mapping. All other LEDs are controlled by modem, including this one in stock firmware. GPIO19, mapped there only acts as a gate, while the actual signal source seems to be 5GHz Wi-Fi radio, however it seems it is not the LED exposed by ath10k as ath10k-phy0. - GPIO5 used for modem reset is a suicide switch, causing a hardware reset of whole board, not only the modem. It is attached to gpio-restart driver, to restart the modem on reboot as well, to ensure QMI connectivity after reboot, which tends to fail otherwise. - Modem, as in MF283+, exposes root shell over ADB - while not needed for OpenWrt operation at all - have fun lurking around. The same modem module is used as in older MF286. Signed-off-by: Lech Perczak <lech.perczak@gmail.com>

Method 2: using stock firmware: - Connect an external USB drive formatted with FAT or ext4 to the USB port. - The drive will be auto-mounted to /var/usb_disk - Check the flash layout of the device: cat /proc/mtd It should show the following: mtd0: 00080000 00010000 "uboot" mtd1: 00020000 00010000 "uboot-env" mtd2: 00140000 00020000 "fota-flag" mtd3: 00140000 00020000 "caldata" mtd4: 00140000 00020000 "mac" mtd5: 00600000 00020000 "cfg-param" mtd6: 00140000 00020000 "oops" mtd7: 00800000 00020000 "web" mtd8: 00300000 00020000 "kernel" mtd9: 01f00000 00020000 "rootfs" mtd10: 01900000 00020000 "data" mtd11: 03200000 00020000 "fota" Differences might indicate that this is NOT a vanilla MF286 device but one of its later derivatives. - Copy over all MTD partitions, for example by executing the following: for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11; do cat /dev/mtd$i > \ /var/usb_disk/mtd$i; done - If the count of MTD partitions is different, this might indicate that this is not a standard MF286 device, but one of its later derivatives. - (optionally) rename the files according to MTD partition names from /proc/mtd - Unmount the filesystem: umount /var/usb_disk; sync and then remove the drive. - Store the files in safe place if you ever plan to return to stock firmware. This is especially important, because stock firmware for this device is not available officially, and is usually customized by the mobile providers. STEP 3: Booting initramfs image: Method 1: using serial console (RECOMMENDED): - Have TFTP server running, exposing the OpenWrt initramfs image, and set your computer's IP address as 192.168.1.22. This is the default expected by U-boot. You may wish to change that, and alter later commands accordingly. - Connect the serial console if you haven't done so already, - Interrupt boot sequence by pressing any key in U-boot when prompted - Use the following commands to boot OpenWrt initramfs through TFTP: setenv serverip 192.168.1.22 setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1 tftpboot 0x81000000 openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286-initramfs-kernel.bin bootm 0x81000000 (Replace server IP and router IP as needed). There is no emergency TFTP boot sequence triggered by buttons, contrary to MF283+. - When OpenWrt initramfs finishes booting, proceed to actual installation. Method 2: using initramfs image as temporary boot kernel This exploits the fact, that kernel and rootfs MTD devices are consecutive on NAND flash, so from within stock image, an initramfs can be written to this area and booted by U-boot on next reboot, because it uses "nboot" command which isn't limited by kernel partition size. - Download the initramfs-kernel.bin image - Split the image into two parts on 3MB partition size boundary, which is the size of kernel partition. Pad the output of second file to eraseblock size: dd if=openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286-initramfs-kernel.bin \ bs=128k count=24 \ of=openwrt-ath79-zte_mf286-intermediate-kernel.bin dd if=openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286-initramfs-kernel.bin \ bs=128k skip=24 conv=sync \ of=openwrt-ath79-zte_mf286-intermediate-rootfs.bin - Copy over /usr/bin/flash_eraseall and /usr/bin/nandwrite utilities to /tmp. This is CRITICAL for installation, as erasing rootfs will cut you off from those tools on flash! - After backing up the previous MTD contents, write the images to the respective MTD devices: /tmp/flash_eraseall /dev/<kernel-mtd> /tmp/nandwrite /dev/<kernel-mtd> \ /var/usb_disk/openwrt-ath79-zte_mf286-intermediate-kernel.bin /tmp/flash_eraseall /dev/<kernel-mtd> /tmp/nandwrite /dev/<rootfs-mtd> \ /var/usb_disk/openwrt-ath79-zte_mf286-intermediate-rootfs.bin - Ensure that no bad blocks were present on the devices while writing. If they were present, you may need to vary the split between kernel and rootfs parts, so U-boot reads a valid uImage after skipping the bad blocks. If it fails, you will be left with method 3 (below). - If write is OK, reboot the device, it will reboot to OpenWrt initramfs: reboot -f - After rebooting, SSH into the device and use sysupgrade to perform proper installation. Method 3: using built-in TFTP recovery (LAST RESORT): - With that method, ensure you have complete backup of system's NAND flash first. It involves deliberately erasing the kernel. - Download "-initramfs-kernel.bin" image for the device. - Prepare the recovery image by prepending 8MB of zeroes to the image, and name it root_uImage: dd if=/dev/zero of=padding.bin bs=8M count=1 cat padding.bin openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286-initramfs-kernel.bin > root_uImage - Set up a TFTP server at 192.0.0.1/8. Router will use random address from that range. - Put the previously generated "root_uImage" into TFTP server root directory. - Deliberately erase "kernel" partition" using stock firmware after taking backup. THIS IS POINT OF NO RETURN. - Restart the device. U-boot will attempt flashing the recovery initramfs image, which will let you perform actual installation using sysupgrade. This might take a considerable time, sometimes the router doesn't establish Ethernet link properly right after booting. Be patient. - After U-boot finishes flashing, the LEDs of switch ports will all light up. At this moment, perform power-on reset, and wait for OpenWrt initramfs to finish booting. Then proceed to actual installation. STEP 4: Actual installation: - scp the sysupgrade image to the device: scp openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin \ root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/ - ssh into the device and execute sysupgrade: sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin - Wait for router to reboot to full OpenWrt. STEP 5: WAN connection establishment Since the router is equipped with LTE modem as its main WAN interface, it might be useful to connect to the Internet right away after installation. To do so, please put the following entries in /etc/config/network, replacing the specific configuration entries with one needed for your ISP: config interface 'wan' option proto 'qmi' option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0' option auth '<auth>' # As required, usually 'none' option pincode '<pin>' # If required by SIM option apn '<apn>' # As required by ISP option pdptype '<pdp>' # Typically 'ipv4', or 'ipv4v6' or 'ipv6' For example, the following works for most polish ISPs config interface 'wan' option proto 'qmi' option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0' option auth 'none' option apn 'internet' option pdptype 'ipv4' If you have build with LuCI, installing luci-proto-qmi helps with this task. Restoring the stock firmware: Preparation: If you took your backup using stock firmware, you will need to reassemble the partitions into images to be restored onto the flash. The layout might differ from ISP to ISP, this example is based on generic stock firmware. The only partitions you really care about are "web", "kernel", and "rootfs". For easy padding and possibly restoring configuration, you can concatenate most of them into images written into "ubi" meta-partition in OpenWrt. To do so, execute something like: cat mtd5_cfg-param.bin mtd6-oops.bin mtd7-web.bin mtd9-rootfs.bin > \ mtd8-ubi_restore.bin You can skip the "fota" partition altogether, it is used only for stock firmware update purposes and can be overwritten safely anyway. The same is true for "data" partition which on my device was found to be unused at all. Restoring mtd5_cfg-param.bin will restore the stock firmware configuration you had before. Method 1: Using initramfs: - Boot to initramfs as in step 3: - Completely detach ubi0 partition using ubidetach /dev/ubi0_0 - Look up the kernel and ubi partitions in /proc/mtd - Copy over the stock kernel image using scp to /tmp - Erase kernel and restore stock kernel: (scp mtd4_kernel.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/) mtd write <kernel_mtd> mtd4_kernel.bin rm mtd4_kernel.bin - Copy over the stock partition backups one-by-one using scp to /tmp, and restore them individually. Otherwise you might run out of space in tmpfs: (scp mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/) mtd write <ubiconcat0_mtd> mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin rm mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin (scp mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/) mtd write <ubiconcat1_mtd> mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin rm mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin - If the write was correct, force a device reboot with reboot -f Method 2: Using live OpenWrt system (NOT RECOMMENDED): - Prepare a USB flash drive contatining MTD backup files - Ensure you have kmod-usb-storage and filesystem driver installed for your drive - Mount your flash drive mkdir /tmp/usb mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/usb - Remount your UBI volume at /overlay to R/O mount -o remount,ro /overlay - Write back the kernel and ubi partitions from USB drive cd /tmp/usb mtd write mtd4_kernel.bin /dev/<kernel_mtd> mtd write mtd8_ubi.bin /dev/<kernel_ubi> - If everything went well, force a device reboot with reboot -f Last image may be truncated a bit due to lack of space in RAM, but this will happen over "fota" MTD partition which may be safely erased after reboot anyway. Method 3: using built-in TFTP recovery (LAST RESORT): - Assemble a recovery rootfs image from backup of stock partitions by concatenating "web", "kernel", "rootfs" images dumped from the device, as "root_uImage" - Use it in place of "root_uImage" recovery initramfs image as in the TFTP pre-installation method. Quirks and known issues - Kernel partition size is increased to 4MB compared to stock 3MB, to accomodate future kernel updates - at this moment OpenWrt 5.10 kernel image is at 2.5MB which is dangerously close to the limit. This has no effect on booting the system - but keep that in mind when reassembling an image to restore stock firmware. - uqmi seems to be unable to change APN manually, so please use the one you used before in stock firmware first. If you need to change it, please use protocok '3g' to establish connection once, or use the following command to change APN (and optionally IP type) manually: echo -ne 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","<apn>' > /dev/ttyUSB0 - The only usable LED as a "system LED" is the green debug LED hidden inside the case. All other LEDs are controlled by modem, on which the router part has some influence only on Wi-Fi LED. - Wi-Fi LED currently doesn't work while under OpenWrt, despite having correct GPIO mapping. All other LEDs are controlled by modem, including this one in stock firmware. GPIO19, mapped there only acts as a gate, while the actual signal source seems to be 5GHz Wi-Fi radio, however it seems it is not the LED exposed by ath10k as ath10k-phy0. - GPIO5 used for modem reset is a suicide switch, causing a hardware reset of whole board, not only the modem. It is attached to gpio-restart driver, to restart the modem on reboot as well, to ensure QMI connectivity after reboot, which tends to fail otherwise. - Modem, as in MF283+, exposes root shell over ADB - while not needed for OpenWrt operation at all - have fun lurking around. - MAC address shift for 5GHz Wi-Fi used in stock firmware is 0x320000000000, which is impossible to encode in the device tree, so I took the liberty of using MAC address increment of 1 for it, to ensure different BSSID for both Wi-Fi interfaces.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Netgear R6100 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (AC1200) router based on Qualcomm Atheros (AR9344 + QCA9882) platform. Support for this device was first introduced in 15f6f67d18 (ar71xx). FCC ID: PY312400225. Specifications: - Atheros AR9344 (560 MHz) - 128 MB of RAM (DDR2) - 128 MB of flash (parallel NAND) - 2T2R 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (AR9344) - 2T2R 5 GHz Wi-Fi (QCA9882) - 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (AR9344) - 4x internal antenna - 1x USB 2.0 (GPIO-controlled power) - 6x LED, 3x button (reset, Wi-Fi, WPS) - UART (4-pin, 2.54 mm pitch) header on PCB - 1x mechanical power switch - DC jack for main power input (12 V) WARNING: sysupgrade from older stable releases is not possible, fresh installation (via vendor's GUI or TFTP based recovery) is required. Reason for that is increased kernel partition size. Installation: Use the 'factory' image under vendor's GUI or via TFTP U-Boot recovery. You can use the 'nmrpflash' tool at a boot time, before kernel is loaded or start it manually by pressing the 'reset' button for ~20 seconds from powering up the device (U-Boot will start TFTP server on 192.168.1.1, use TFTP client to send the image).

* ath79: remove model name from LED labelsAdrian Schmutzler2020-10-022-3/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, we request LED labels in OpenWrt to follow the scheme modelname:color:function However, specifying the modelname at the beginning is actually entirely useless for the devices we support in OpenWrt. On the contrary, having this part actually introduces inconvenience in several aspects: - We need to ensure/check consistency with the DTS compatible - We have various exceptions where not the model name is used, but the vendor name (like tp-link), which is hard to track and justify even for core-developers - Having model-based components will not allow to share identical LED definitions in DTSI files - The inconsistency in what's used for the model part complicates several scripts, e.g. board.d/01_leds or LED migrations from ar71xx where this was even more messy Apart from our needs, upstream has deprecated the label property entirely and introduced new properties to specify color and function properties separately. However, the implementation does not appear to be ready and probably won't become ready and/or match our requirements in the foreseeable future. However, the limitation of generic LEDs to color and function properties follows the same idea pointed out above. Generic LEDs will get names like "green:status" or "red:indicator" then, and if a "devicename" is prepended, it will be the one of an internal device, like "phy1:amber:status". With this patch, we move into the same direction, and just drop the boardname from the LED labels. This allows to consolidate a few definitions in DTSI files (will be much more on ramips), and to drop a few migrations compared to ar71xx that just changed the boardname. But mainly, it will liberate us from a completely useless subject to take care of for device support review and maintenance. To also drop the boardname from existing configurations, a simple migration routine is added unconditionally. Although this seems unfamiliar at first look, a quick check in kernel for the arm/arm64 dts files revealed that while 1033 lines have labels with three parts *:*:*, still 284 actually use a two-part labelling *:*, and thus is also acceptable and not even rare there.

* ath79: fix MAC addresses for ethernet on ZyXEL NBG6716Adrian Schmutzler2020-04-082-4/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MAC addresses of the ethernet devices (eth0 & eth1) are randomly set at boot time by the ag71xx driver, because it is currently not possible to retrieve MAC addresses in ASCII format within the DTS file. This commit works around this behaviour by setting the MAC addresses during the preinit phase. The same has been implemented recently for the Siemens WS-AP3610 in d2b8ccb1c04d ("ath79: add support for Siemens WS-AP3610"). MAC assignment in vendor firmware is as follows: use vendor address OpenWrt 2g wifi0 ethaddr -> wlan1 5g wifi1 ethaddr +1 -> wlan0 lan eth1 ethaddr +2 -> eth0 wan eth0 ethaddr +3 -> eth1 ethaddr is retrieved by $(mtd_get_mac_ascii u-boot-env ethaddr) Note that both Wifi and ethernet indexing is swapped in OpenWrt compared to vendor firmware.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit creates the ath79/mikrotik subtarget in order to support MikroTik devices based on Qualcomm Atheros MIPS SoCs. MikroTik devices need a couple of specific features: the split MiNOR firmware MTD format, which is not used by other devices, and the 4k sector erase size on SPI NOR storage, which can not be added to the ath79/generic and ath79/nand subtargets now. Additionally, the commit moves the two MikroTik devices already in the generic and nand subtargets to this new one. Tested on the RB922 board and the wAP AC router.

NOR Flash (2 MiB) is not touched by OpenWrt installation. 1. NAND Flash (128 MiB) layout under OpenWrt is changed as follows: all space is split between 4 MiB kernel and 124 MiB UBI areas; vendor partitions (language and mtdoops) are removed; kernel space size can be further expanded if needed; maximum image size is set to 25600k for compatibility reasons and can also be increased. 2. CPU clock is 775 MHz, not 750 MHz. 3. 5 GHz wireless radio chip is Atheros AR9580-AR1A with bogus PCI device ID 0xabcd. For ath9k driver to load successfully, this is overriden in DTS with correct value for this chip, 0x0033. 4. RFKILL button is wired to AR9580 pin 9 which is normally disabled by chip definition in ath9k code (0x0000F4FF gpio mask). Therefore 'qca,gpio-mask=<0xf6ff>' hack must be used for button to work properly. 5. USB port is always on, no GPIO for 5V power control has been identified.

* ath79: GL-AR750S: provide NAND support; increase kernel to 4 MBJeff Kletsky2019-11-143-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The GL.iNet GL-AR750S has been supported by the ar71xx and ath79 platforms with access to its 16 MB NOR flash, but not its 128 MB SPI NAND flash. This commit provides support for the NAND through the upstream SPI-NAND framework. At this time, the OEM U-Boot appears to only support loading the kernel from NOR. This configuration is preserved as this time, with the glinet,gl-ar750s-nand name reserved for a potential, future, NAND-only boot. The family of GL-AR750S devices on the ath79 platform now includes: * glinet,gl-ar750m-nor-nand "nand" target * glinet,gl-ar750m-nor "nand" target (NAND-aware) NB: This commit increases the kernel size from 2 MB to 4 MB "Force-less" sysupgrade is presently supported from the current versions of following NOR-based firmwre images to the version of glinet,gl-ar750s-nor firmware produced by this commit: * glinet,gl-ar750s -- OpenWrt 19.07 ar71xx * glinet,gl-ar750s -- OpenWrt 19.07 ath79 Users who have sucessfully upgraded to glinet,gl-ar750m-nor may then flash glinet,gl-ar750m-nor-nand with sysupgrade to transtion to the NAND-based variant. Other upgrades to these images, including directly to the NAND-based glinet,gl-ar750s-nor-nand firmware, can be accomplished through U-Boot. NB: See "ath79: restrict GL-AR750S kernel build-size to 2 MB" which enables flashing of NAND factory.img with the current GL-iNet U-Boot, "U-Boot 1.1.4-gcf378d80-dirty (Aug 16 2018 - 07:51:15)" The GL-AR750S OEM U-Boot allows upload and flashing of either NOR firmware (sysupgrade.bin) or NAND firmware (factory.img) through its HTTP-based GUI. Serial connectivity is not required. The glinet,gl-ar750s-nor and glinet,gl-ar750s-nor-nand images generated after this commit flash each other directly. This commit changes the control of the USB VBUS to gpio-hog from regulator-fixed introduced by commit 0f6b944c92. This reduces the compressed kernel size by ~14 kB, with no apparent loss of functionality. No other ath79-nand boards are using regulator-fixed at this time. Note: mtd_get_mac_binary art 0x5006 does not return the proper MAC and the GL.iNet source indicates that only the 0x0 offset is valid The ar71xx targets are unmodified.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The GL.iNet GL-AR300M has been supported by the ar71xx and ath79 platforms with access to its 16 MB NOR flash, but not its 128 MB SPI NAND flash. This commit provides support for the NAND through the upstream SPI-NAND framework. Devices with both NOR and NAND flash can support independent firmware on each, with U-Boot able to boot from either. The OEM U-Boot will fall back to the NOR firmware after three "unsuccessful" boots. The family of GL-AR300M devices on the ath79 platform now includes: * glinet,gl-ar300m-lite "generic" target, NOR-only board * glinet,gl-ar300m-nand "nand" target * glinet,gl-ar300m-nor "nand" target (NAND-aware) NB: This commit increases the kernel size from 2 MB to 4 MB "Force-less" sysupgrade is presently supported from the current versions of following NOR-based firmwre images to the version of glinet,gl-ar300m-nor firmware produced by this commit: * gl-ar300m -- OEM v3 NOR ar71xx (openwrt-ar300m16-*.bin) * gl-ar300m -- OpenWrt 18.06 ar71xx * gl-ar300m -- OpenWrt 19.07 ar71xx Other upgrades to these images should be performed through U-Boot. The GL-AR300M OEM U-Boot allows upload and flashing of either NOR firmware (sysupgrade.bin) or NAND firmware (factory.img) through its HTTP-based GUI. Serial connectivity is not required. The glinet,gl-ar300m-nand and glinet,gl-ar300m-nor images generated after this commit should safely flash each other using sysupgrade. The boot counter is implemented by the OEM using u-boot-env. At this time, it does not appear that the switch on the side of the unit can be used to select NOR vs. NAND boot and the fail-over is only from NAND to NOR. To save flash wear, it is only reset when running the glinet,gl-ar300m-nand firmware. NAND-specific base-files are used to remove impact on existing generic and tiny targets. As there is now no "generic" build appropriate for the GL-AR300M16, (or for users of the GL-AR300M that do not need access to NAND) it will be introduced in a subsequent commit. Note: `mtd_get_mac_binary art 0x6` does not return the proper MAC and the GL.iNet source indicates that only the 0x0 offset is valid The ar71xx targets are unmodified.

* ath79: move base-files for ZyXEL NBG6716Adrian Schmutzler2019-10-274-1/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to rebase of the base-files split patch after adding support for the ZyXEL NBG6716, its base-files were added to the generic subtarget, although the device belongs to the nand subtarget. This moves the definitions to their proper locations.

* ath79: split base-files into subtargetsAdrian Schmutzler2019-10-273-0/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While most of the target's contents are split into subtargets, the base-files are maintained for the target as a whole. However, OpenWrt already implements a mechanism that will use (and even prefer) files in the subtargets' directories. This can be exploited to make several scripts subtarget-specific and thus save some space (especially helpful for the tiny devices). The only script remaining in parent base-files is /etc/hotplug.d/ieee80211/00-wifi-migration, everything else is moved/split. Note that this will increase overall code lines, but reduce code per subtarget. base-files ipk size reduction: master (generic) 49135 B split (generic) 48533 B (- 0.6 kiB) split (tiny) 43337 B (- 5.7 kiB) split (nand) 44423 B (- 4.6 kiB) Tested on TL-WR1043ND v4 (generic) and TL-WR841N v12 (tiny).

* ath79: add AR934x NAND Flash Controller driverMichal Cieslakiewicz2019-10-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch contains updated driver for Atheros NAND Flash Controller written originally by Gabor Juhos for ar71xx (aka 'ar934x-nfc'). ath79 version has adapted to work with kernel 4.19 and Device Tree. It has also been renamed to 'ar934x-nand' to avoid confusion with Near-Field Communication technology. Controller is present on Atheros AR934x SoCs and required for accessing internal flash storage on routers like Netgear WNDR4300. This port preserves all NAND programming code while moving platform configuration to Device Tree and replacing some kernel functions marked for retirement by 4.19. Suitable definition is included in 'ar934x.dtsi' ('nand@1b000200' section). Most important changes to ar71xx version are: * old kernel sections of code removed * 'bool swap_dma' provided by platform data is now set by boolean DT property 'qca,nand-swap-dma' * board-supplied (mach-*.c code) platform data removed - its elements become either unused, redundant or replaced by DT methods (like reset) * IRQ is reserved by devm_request_irq() so free_irq() is not needed anymore * calls to deprecated nand_scan_ident() + nand_scan_tail() function pair replaced by using recommended nand_scan() with attach_chip() callback * ECC is set to hardware by default, can be overriden by standard DT 'nand-ecc-*' properties (software Hamming or BCH are other options) This driver has been successfully tested on Netgear WNDR4300 running experimental ath79 OpenWrt master branch.
