The Comfast CF-WA933[1] is an outdoor dual-band WiFi 6 access point/router. They also OEM their routers for other providers. This PR adds support based on, and substantially updates, the downstream device definition[2] from Wayru, one such white label client. It can be powered by a 12V DC barrel jack (standard 5.5x2.5mm, center positive) or via 802.3af POE. Hardware summary: - SoC: MediaTek MT7981A - RAM: 256 MiB - Flash: SPI-NAND 128 MiB (Factory uses 64M; see details below to use the full 128M!) - WiFi (MT7976DA): dual-band 802.11ax - Ethernet (MT7531AE): 3x gigabit: 1x WAN + 2x LAN (labeled lan1/lan2). - Button: reset - LEDs: Power (always on), WLAN, WAN, LAN1, LAN2 - Serial: Internal header (Four unpopulated headers, clearly labeled) MAC addresses on the tested unit: - Label: 40:a5:ef:f0:5e:0f - LAN: 40:a5:ef:f0:5e:0f Factory 0xe000 - WAN: 40:a5:ef:f0:5e:10 Factory 0xe000 + 1 - 2.4 GHz: 40:a5:ef:f0:5e:11 Factory 0x0004 - 5 GHz: 40:a5:ef:f0:5e:13 Factory 0x8000 + 1 The serial number is stored as an ASCII string at Factory 0xe100. Disassembly: Unscrew the six 3mm hex bolts on the dome and the six 5mm bolts on the side of the arm, then lift the dome. For reassembly, make sure the large O ring is in the groove in the dome. OpenWrt installation: 1. Connect to Ethernet on the WAN port. Manually set your IP address to 192.168.1.10 (important!) 2. Upload the OpenWrt sysupgrade image at http://192.168.1.1 The default U-Boot partition layout does not expose the full flash capacity. Change the mtdparts U-Boot environment variable before rebooting and then installing the image for the 128 MiB variant through the same bootloader recovery/upgrade page. Method 1: Using the serial console 1. Disassemble the unit and connect to the serial console (115200 8N1). Leave 3.3V disconnected. 2. On the boot loader, go straight to "0. U-Boot console" 3. Then enter: setenv mtdparts 'nmbm0:1024k(bl2),512k(u-boot-env),2048k(factory),2048k(fip),117248k(ubi)' saveenv reset Method 2: From OpenWrt using uboot-envtools apk add uboot-envtools fw_setenv mtdparts 'nmbm0:1024k(bl2),512k(u-boot-env),2048k(factory),2048k(fip),117248k(ubi)' reboot Return to vendor firmware: 1. If you have changed the mtdparts environment variable, undo the change by setting: mtdparts 'nmbm0:1024k(bl2),512k(u-boot-env),2048k(factory),2048k(fip),65536k(ubi)' 2. Re-enter the same bootloader recovery/upgrade page. 3. Upload a stock COMFAST firmware image, e.g. from http://www.comfast.com.cn/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=85&id=773 [1]: https://comfastgroup.com/product/cf-wa933/ [2]: https://github.com/Wayru-Network/wayru-os/tree/main/profiles/prometheus Signed-off-by: Guillaume RISCHARD <git@stereo.lu> Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/22379 Signed-off-by: Jonas Jelonek <jelonek.jonas@gmail.com>
