Beeline SmartBox GIGA is a wireless WiFi 5 router manufactured by
Sercomm company.
Device specification
--------------------
SoC Type: MediaTek MT7621AT
RAM: 256 MiB, Nanya NT5CC128M16JR-EK
Flash: 128 MiB, Macronix MX30LF1G18AC
Wireless 2.4 GHz (MT7603EN): b/g/n, 2x2
Wireless 5 GHz (MT7613BE): a/n/ac, 2x2
Ethernet: 3 ports - 2xGbE (WAN, LAN1), 1xFE (LAN2)
USB ports: 1xUSB3.0
Button: 1 button (Reset/WPS)
PCB ID: DBE00B-1.6MM
LEDs: 1 RGB LED
Power: 12 VDC, 1.5 A
Connector type: barrel
Bootloader: U-Boot
Installation
-----------------
1. Downgrade stock (Beeline) firmware to v.1.0.02;
2. Give factory OpenWrt image a shorter name, e.g. 1001.img;
3. Upload and update the firmware via the original web interface.
Remark: You might need make the 3rd step twice if your running firmware
is booted from the Slot 1 (Sercomm0 bootflag). The stock firmware
reverses the bootflag (Sercomm0 / Sercomm1) on each firmware update.
Revert to stock
---------------
1. Change the bootflag to Sercomm1 in OpenWrt CLI and then reboot:
printf 1 | dd bs=1 seek=7 count=1 of=/dev/mtdblock3
2. Optional: Update with any stock (Beeline) firmware if you want to
overwrite OpenWrt in Slot 0 completely.
MAC Addresses
-------------
+-----+-----------+---------+
| use | address | example |
+-----+-----------+---------+
| LAN | label | *:16 |
| WAN | label + 1 | *:17 |
| 2g | label + 4 | *:1a |
| 5g | label + 5 | *:1b |
+-----+-----------+---------+
The label MAC address was found in Factory 0x21000
Notes
-----
1. The following scripts are required for the build:
sercomm-crypto.py - already exists in OpenWrt
sercomm-partition-tag.py - already exists in OpenWrt
sercomm-payload.py - already exists in OpenWrt
sercomm-pid.py - new, the part of this pull request
sercomm-kernel-header.py - new, the part of this pull request
2. This device (same as other Sercomm S2,S3-based devices) requires
special LZMA and LOADADDR settings for successful boot:
LZMA_TEXT_START=0x82800000
KERNEL_LOADADDR=0x81001000
LOADADDR=0x80001000
3. This device (same as several other Sercomm-based devices - Beeline,
Netgear, Etisalat, Rostelecom) has partition map (mtd1) containing
real partition offsets, which may differ from device to device
depending on the number and location of bad blocks on NAND.
"fixed-partitions" is used if the partition map is not found or
corrupted. This behavour (it's the same as on stock firmware) is
provided by MTD_SERCOMM_PARTS module.

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.
Sunshine!
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.6+ rsync subversion unzip which
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
maketo build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
Related Repositories
The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of
different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package
manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port
packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
