Migrating to OpenWrt requires multiple steps:
- Load and boot the initramfs image
- Adapt U-Boot settings to support bigger kernels
- Flash the sysupgrade image
Load and boot initramfs:
- Connect serial interface
- Set up a TFTP server on IP 192.168.1.254
- Copy openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-linksys_mr9000-initramfs-zImage.itb to TFTP server
- Rename file to C0A80101.img
- Boot up the device and stop in U-Boot
- Run the following U-Boot commands after a link has been established:
tftp
bootm
- Initramfs image is started now.
Adapt U-Boot settings to support bigger kernels:
- Run "fw_printenv" in the initramfs image after booting
- There should be an entry kernsize=300000 which indicates the maximum size for the kernel is 3MB
- Execute "fw_setenv kernsize 500000" to increase the max kernel size to 5MB
- Check that the change are applied with "fw_printenv"
Flash the sysupgrade image:
- Default sysupgrade routine either with a initramfs image containing LuCI or via command line.
Revert back to OEM firmware:
- Flash the OEM firmware via sysupgrade
- Forced update is required

Move the $(eval $(call Download,ath11k-legacy-firmware)) from inside
Build/Prepare to the top level, right after the Download definition.
When the eval is inside Build/Prepare, it only runs at recipe execution
time (during compilation). This makes the legacy firmware source
invisible to 'make download', which only evaluates Download definitions
at Makefile parse time. As a result, offline builds fail because the
source was never fetched during the download phase.
This is consistent with how ath10k-ct-firmware handles multiple
Download definitions (all at top level).

The generated firmware patches for RealTek's PHYs are host architecture
agnostic. Express this with PKGARCH:=all.
Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org>
This is required by the realtek PHY driver for:
* rtl8261n.bin (package "rtl8261n-firmware" or "rtl8261n-lp-firmware")
- RTL8251L 5Gbps PHY
- RTL8261BE 10Gbps PHY
- RTL8261N 10Gbps PHY
* rtl8264b.bin (package "rtl8264b-firmware")
- RTL8254B 5Gbps PHY
- RTL8264 10Gbps PHY
- RTL8264B 10Gbps PHY
These PHY chips need a sequence of register writes for initialization.
These are provided as firmware files which are interpreted/applied by a
new register patch engine.
For the moment, the patch instructions in rtl8261-firmware and
rtl8264b-firmware are the same as from the rtl8261n driver. This should
make it possible to first evaluate the patch engine and driver development
for switching over in adjusting the patch instructions.

Flash instructions: (use redmi-ax5400 image for the Redmi AX5400)
Download XMIR Patcher: https://github.com/openwrt-xiaomi/xmir-patcher
First flash a ubinized OpenWrt initramfs that will serve as the intermediate step, since
OpenWrt uses unified rootfs in order to fully utilize NAND and provide enough space for
packages, through either of the below two methods:
Installation via XMIR Patcher:
1. Load the initramfs image: openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-xiaomi_redmi-ax5400-initramfs-factory.ubi
Installation via ubiformat method, through SSH:
1. If needed, enable SSH using XMIR Patcher.
2. Copy the file openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-xiaomi_redmi-ax5400-initramfs-factory.ubi to the /tmp directory
3. Open an SSH shell to the router
4. Check which rootfs partition is your router booted in (0 = rootfs | 1 = rootfs_1):
nvram get flag_boot_rootfs
5. Find the rootfs and rootfs_1 mtd indexes respectively:
cat /proc/mtd
Please confirm if mtd18 and mtd19 are the correct indexes from above!
6. Use the command ubiformat to flash the opposite mtd with UBI image:
If nvram get flag_boot_rootfs returned 0:
ubiformat /dev/mtd19 -y -f /tmp/openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-xiaomi_redmi-ax5400-initramfs-factory.ubi && nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=1 && nvram set flag_last_success=1 && nvram commit
otherwise:
ubiformat /dev/mtd18 -y -f /tmp/openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-xiaomi_redmi-ax5400-initramfs-factory.ubi && nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=0 && nvram set flag_last_success=0 && nvram commit
7. Reboot the device by:
reboot
Continue in order to pernamently flash OpenWrt:
1. Upload the sysupgrade image to /tmp/ using SCP:
scp -O <path to image> root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
2. Open an SSH shell to 192.168.1.1 from a PC within the same subnet
3. Use sysupgrade to flash the sysupgrade image:
sysupgrade -n -v /tmp/openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-xiaomi_redmi-ax5400-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Device will reboot with OpenWrt, and then sysupgrade can be used to upgrade the device when desired.

5. On the prompt `Press f or F to stop Auto-Boot in 3 seconds`,
press `f` to enter the Huawei U-Boot command line
6. Enter a new password for the u-boot command line
7. In the command line, run these commands to ramboot OpenWrt:
setenv serverip <IPv4 address of TFTP server>
setenv ipaddr <IPv4 address for this AP>
setenv rambootfile ramboot.bin
run ramboot
8. In OpenWrt, set up the network and then `scp` the files
`u-boot-huawei_ap4050dn/uImage` and
`openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-huawei_ap4050dn-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin`
into `/tmp/`
9. To backup the original firmware, run the following:
cat /dev/mtd12 /dev/mtd13 > huawei_ap4050dn_fw_backup.bin.bin
10. Run the following commands to flash u-boot and OpenWrt to the device:
mtd erase uboot
mtd write /tmp/uImage uboot
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-huawei_ap4050dn-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
11. The device should now boot OpenWrt! (sometimes the boot process takes a bit
longer due to the watchdog resetting the device before the watchdog driver runs)

The Zyxel NWA110AX is a dual band 2x2:2 802.11ax wireless access point
with PoE.
The device is very similar to the NWA210AX except for being 2x2 instead
of 4x4 in the 5GHz band and not having the 2.5GbE ethernet port. This
commit factors out a common DTS and device definition and reuses it for
both devices.
Hardware:
* SoC: Qualcomm IPQ8070A
* RAM: 1GiB 1x Samsung K4A8G165WC-BCTD
* Flash: 8MiB Winbond W25Q64DW SPI-NOR, 256MiB Winbond W29N02GZ SPI-NAND
* WLAN 2.4GHz: QCN5024 2x2:2 802.11b/g/n/ax

* Buttons: 1x reset
MAC addresses:
* Uplink: base address on label
* 2.4GHz WLAN: base + 1
* 5GHZ WLAN: base + 2
Flashing Notes:
The device uses a dual-image setup and OpenWrt can only be installed as
image 0. When the currently running stock firmware is image 0, OpenWrt
will be installed as image 1, fail to boot and the device returns to stock
firmware. If this happens, install any version of stock firmware so that
it runs as image 1, before installing OpenWrt. Alternatively, if there
already is a valid stock firmware in image 1, the "debug dual-image show"
and "debug dual-image set boot-image image1" commands can be used in the
stock CLI via serial/SSH/telnet to switch to image 1.
Flashing with Stock Web Interface:
* Get the OpenWrt factory image and rename it to a shorter name, for
example "openwrt.bin" (the stock firmware has a character limit)
* In the web interface, go to "Maintenance" -> "File Manager" ->
"Firmware Package" (or click the link next to "Firmware Version" under
"Device Information" on the dashboard)
* Under "Upload File" browse to the renamed OpenWrt factory image and
click on "Upload"
Switch Boot Image:
* OpenWrt to stock: "zyxel-bootconfig-ipq807x set image1"
* Stock to OpenWrt: "debug dual-image set boot-image image0"
Unbrick / Revert to Stock with the Boot Module:
* Disconnect the device from power
* Configure your machine to 192.168.1.103/24 and start a TFTP server
* Put the stock firmware image into the TFTP server root and rename it to
"ZLD-current"
* Establish a serial connection to the device through the console port
* Connect the device to power
* When prompted, press a key to abort automatic boot and enter debug mode
* Use the "atnz" command to flash the firmware image
* Use the "atgo" command to boot from the newly flashed image

Netgear RBx350 are dual band 4 stream 802.11ax mesh devices from the Orbi
series. The RBR350 is a router with a WAN and 3 LAN ports. The RBS350 is a
satellite without WAN port, only 2 LAN ports and half the flash. The
hardware is otherwise identical. They were sold in kits as RBK352, RBK353,
RBK354 or RBK355, with one router and 1-4 satellites.
Hardware:

* LAN2: base + 1
* LAN3: base + 2
* WAN: base + 3
* 2.4GHz WLAN: base + 1
* 5GHz WLAN: base + 2
Flashing Notes:
The stock firmware images are signed. Both the bootloader and the stock
web interface check the signature and will fail to boot/flash.
The bootloader automatically does NMRP when a gigabit LAN connection is
present. The stock and factory images contain a U-Boot script that is
executed when flashing using NMRP. This is used to alter and persist the
U-Boot env with a boot command that works with unsigned firmware.
Install OpenWrt:
* Get the nmrpflash utility [0] and OpenWrt factory image
* Find network interface to use: nmrpflash -L
* Start nmrpflash: nmrpflash -i interface -f openwrt-...-factory.img
* Connect the device LAN port closest to the power jack to the same
network using gigabit
* Plug the device in and wait for the bootloader to flash
* Unplug and replug the device once the power LED blinks amber
Revert to Stock:
The boot command needs to be reverted before flashing the stock firmware,
otherwise it will fail to boot and get stuck in recovery mode (red power
LED flashing).
* Run: fw_setenv bootcmd bootipq
* Restart the device
* Flash the stock firmware RBx350-Va.b.c.d.img using nmrpflash

Netgear RBx750 are tri band, 2.4GHz and 2x 5GHz, 8 stream 802.11ax mesh
devices from the Orbi series. The RBR750 is a router with a WAN and 3 LAN
ports. The RBS750 is a satellite without WAN port, only 2 LAN ports and
half the flash. The hardware is otherwise identical. They were sold in
kits as RBK752-RBK757, with one router and 1-6 satellites.
Hardware:
* SoC: Qualcomm IPQ8074
* RAM: 1GiB 1x Samsung
* Flash: 512MiB Winbond W29N04GZ or 256MiB Winbond W29N02GZ
* WLAN 2.4GHz: QCN5024 2x2:2 b/g/n/ax
* WLAN 5GHz Low Band: QCN5054 2x2:2 a/n/ac/ax 5180-5320MHz
* WLAN 5GHz High Band: QCN5054 4x4:4 a/n/ac/ax 5500-5700MHz
* Ethernet: QCA8075 switch with 1 WAN and 3 LAN ports or 2 LAN ports
* Serial Config: 3.3V TTL 115200-8-N-1, internal populated header
* Serial Layout: Bottom <- RX, TX, GND, 3.3V (don't connect) -> Top
* LEDs: green/red power, white/red/green/blue status
* Buttons: 1x Reset, 1x WPS
MAC addresses:
LAN1: base address on label
LAN2: base + 1
LAN3: base + 2
WAN: base + 1
2.4GHz: base + 2
5GHz-Low: base + 3
5GHz-High: base + 4
Flashing Notes:
The stock firmware images are signed. Both the bootloader and the stock
web interface check the signature and will fail to boot/flash.
The bootloader automatically does NMRP when a gigabit LAN connection is
present. The stock and factory images contain a U-Boot script that is
executed when flashing using NMRP. This is used to alter and persist the
U-Boot env with a boot command that works with unsigned firmware.
Install OpenWrt:
* Get the nmrpflash utility [0] and OpenWrt factory image
* Find network interface to use: nmrpflash -L
* Start nmrpflash: nmrpflash -i interface -f openwrt-...-factory.img
* Connect the device LAN port closest to the power jack to the same
network using gigabit
* Plug the device in and wait for the bootloader to flash
* Unplug and replug the device once the power LED blinks amber
Revert to Stock:
The boot command needs to be reverted before flashing the stock firmware,
otherwise it will fail to boot and get stuck in recovery mode (red power
LED flashing).
* Run: fw_setenv bootcmd bootipq
* Restart the device
* Flash the stock firmware RBx750-Va.b.c.d.img using nmrpflash

Installation via OEM firmware:
* Use the following process to obtain root ssh access
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/150371/24
* Connect using root with no password on port 42000
* Optionally for serial bootloader access run :
fw_setenv bootdelay=3
* SCP factory.bin to /tmp
* Run:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/factory.bin
Installation via serial console and OEM firmware::
* Use console to access OEM firmware shell
* Proceed with SCP & sysupgrade as described above
Other notes:
* This device uses active partition rotation
* Some versions (TCL branded?) have a NOR chip in addition to NAND
* The above is supported by u-boot patching DT partitions
* DT patching does NOT occur on tftpboot/bootm
* Modem is detected as foxconn-sdx55 by kernel (same VID/PID)
* This works OK-ish and should be improved if we can get OEM modem details
