firmware-utils: mksercommfw: overhaul image creation

2019-01-15T18:11:54Z

Move the zip compression into a build recipe. Pad the image using the existing build recipes as well to remove duplicate functionality Change the code to append header and footer in two steps. Allow to use a fixed filename as the netgear update image does. Use a fixed timestamp within the zip archive to make the images reproducible. Due to the changes we are now compatible to the gnu89 c standard used by default on the buildbots and we don't need to force a more recent standard anymore. Beside all changes, the footer still looks wrong in compare to the netgear update image. Signed-off-by: Mathias Kresin

firmware-utils: mkdlinkfw: fix build

2019-01-13T18:28:54Z

While we don't need the gnu99 option anymore, we still need to force the c99 standard to fix the following build error on the build bots: src/mkdlinkfw.c: In function 'find_auh_headers': src/mkdlinkfw.c:267:3: error: 'for' loop initial declarations are only allowed in C99 or C11 mode for (int i = 0; i < header_counter; i++) { ^ src/mkdlinkfw.c:267:3: note: use option -std=c99, -std=gnu99, -std=c11 or -std=gnu11 to compile your code Signed-off-by: Mathias Kresin

firmware-utils: mkdlinkfw: fix error handling

2019-01-13T17:31:10Z

fread() doesn't set errno, ferror need to be used to check for errors. While at it, check if we read the expect number of elements. Signed-off-by: Mathias Kresin

firmware-utils: mkdlinkfw: create reproducible header

2019-01-13T17:31:10Z

Use the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable if set instead of the current time. The used timestamp matches the timestamp of the latest commit this way and make the images reproducible. Signed-off-by: Mathias Kresin

firmware-utils: mkdlinkfw: cleanup code

2019-01-13T17:31:10Z

Drop unused function and macros. With the cleanup the gnu extension typeof isn't used any longer and the gnu99 compile flag can be dropped. Signed-off-by: Mathias Kresin

ath79: add support for TP-Link Archer C6 v2

2018-12-31T15:25:11Z

This patch adds support for TP-Link Archer C6 v2 (EU) Hardware specification: - SOC: Qualcomm QCA9563 @ 775MHz - Flash: GigaDevice GD25Q64CSIG (8MiB) - RAM: Zentel A3R1GE40JBF (128 MiB DDR2) - Ethernet: Qualcomm QCA8337N: 4x 1Gbps LAN + 1x 1Gbps WAN - Wireless: - 2.4GHz (bgn) QCA9563 integrated (3x3) - 5GHz (ac) Qualcomm QCA9886 (2x2) - Button: 1x power, 1x reset, 1x wps - LED: 6x LEDs: power, wlan2g, wlan5g, lan, wan, wps - UART: There's no UART header on the board Flash instructions: Upload openwrt-ath79-generic-tplink_archer-c6-v2-squashfs-factory.bin via the router Web interface. Flash instruction using tftp recovery: 1. Connect the computer to one of the LAN ports of the router 2. Set the computer IP to 192.168.0.66 3. Start a tftp server with the OpenWrt factory image in the tftp root directory renamed to ArcherC6v2_tp_recovery.bin. 4. Connect power cable to router, press and hold the reset button and turn the router on 5. Keep the reset button pressed until the WPS LED lights up 6. Wait ~150 seconds to complete flashing According to the GPL source the non-EU variant has different GPIOs assigned to some of the LEDs and buttons. The flash layout might be different as well. The wikidevi entry for Archer A6/C6 assumes they are identical. Signed-off-by: Georgi Vlaev

firmware-utils: add hex pattern mode for xorimage

2018-12-24T18:18:07Z

This commit adds "hex pattern mode" to xorimage. This mode allows xor with a hexadecimal pattern that cannot be expressed with ASCII charactors. usage (example): xorimage -i firmware.bin -o firmware.bin.new -p 6A57190601121E4C -x Signed-off-by: INAGAKI Hiroshi Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter (fix checkpatch)

ath79: add support for TP-Link Archer A7

2018-12-17T07:09:13Z

This patch adds support for TP-Link Archer A7 Specification: - SOC: QCA9563 - Flash: 16 MiB (SPI) - RAM: 128 MiB (DDR2) - Ethernet: 4x 1Gbps LAN + 1x 1Gbps WAN - Wireless: - 2.4GHz (bgn) SoC internal - 5GHz (ac) QCA988x - USB: 1x USB 2.0 port - Button: 1x power, 1x reset, 1x wps - LED: 10x LEDs - UART: holes in PCB - Vcc, GND, RX, TX from ethernet port side - 115200n8 Flash instructions: Upload openwrt-ath79-generic-tplink_archer-a7-v5-squashfs-factory.bin via the Webinterface. Flash instruction using tftp recovery: 1. Connect the computer to one of the LAN ports of the Archer A7 2. Set the computer IP to 192.168.0.66 3. Start a tftp server with the OpenWrt factory image in the tftp root directory renamed to ArcherC7v5_tp_recovery.bin 2. Connect power cable to Archer A7, press and hold the reset button and turn the router on 3. Keep the reset button pressed for ~5 seconds 4. Wait ~150 seconds to complete flashing Changes since first revision: - Flash instructions using stock image webinterface - Changed "Version 5" in model string to "v5" - Split DTS file in qca9563_tplink_archer-x7-v5.dtsi and qca9563_tplink_archer-a7-v5.dts - Firmware image is now build with dynamic partitioning - Default to ath10k-ct Changes since second revision: - Changed uboot@0 to uboot@20000 in DTS file - Fixed ordering issue in board led script - Specify firmware partition format in DTS file - Rebased Makefile device definition on common Device/tplink-safeloader-uimage definition - Merged switch section in network script (same configuration as tplink,tl-wdr3600 and tplink,tl-wdr4300) Signed-off-by: Karl-Felix Glatzer
