scripts: mkits-qsdk-ipq-image: strip path from description

2026-10-27T06:19:26Z

The FIT description of the boot script image is derived from the file name given on the command line. Take only the basename so that the script can be passed by path while the description stays the same. Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle

scripts/ext-tools.sh: refresh the stamps with a sub-second timestamp

2026-10-06T00:05:39Z

The GitHub CI spends 10 to 18 minutes rebuilding all host tools in most "Check Kernel patches" jobs, although the tools container ships them prebuilt. Before, the "Build tools" step took about 10 seconds. The refresh sets all stamps to one time given to touch -t, which has a resolution of a full second, so the fraction is zero. The CI job runs the refresh about 0.2 seconds after actions/checkout finished, and git writes the tools directory last. Its files therefore often get a timestamp in the same second as the stamps, but after the full second. Since timestamp.pl compares the fraction of a second, these source files are newer than the stamps and every tool gets cleaned and built again. Take the time from a freshly created temporary file and set all stamps to it with touch -r. They still share one timestamp, but it now includes the fraction and is always later than the checkout.

qualcommax: add support for TP-Link RE700X

2026-10-03T18:17:43Z

TP-Link RE700X is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (AX3000) range extender based on Qualcomm IPQ5018 (2.4 GHz) with a QCN6122 (5 GHz) companion radio. Specifications: - SoC: Qualcomm IPQ5018 (dual-core ARM Cortex-A53) - RAM: 256 MiB - Flash: 128 MiB SPI-NAND (ESMT F50D1G41LB) - Wi-Fi: IPQ5018 2.4 GHz + QCN6122 5 GHz, both 802.11ax - Ethernet: 1x Gigabit - IPQ5018 MAC1 (DWMAC) via SGMII/uniphy0 to a Realtek RTL8211F (MDIO1 addr 6). The SoC internal GE PHY (MAC0/gmac0) is not wired to any external port and stays disabled. - LEDs: 5, Buttons: reset + WPS - Power: 100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, 0.4 A (internal PSU, wall-plug) - UART: 3.3 V serial console, 115200 8N1; on-board 4-pad header, pinout from top: TX, RX, GND, VCC MAC addresses (factory_data UBI volume, file default-mac, mounted read-only in preinit like on the EAP650): - LAN (label MAC): default-mac - 2.4 GHz: default-mac + 1 - 5 GHz: default-mac + 2 Calibration data is extracted from the 0:art partition (IPQ5018 at 0x1000, QCN6122 at 0x26800). Installation: - From OpenWrt (or after a RAM-boot of the initramfs via U-Boot/TFTP): sysupgrade. - From the stock firmware: openwrt-...-squashfs-factory-webflash.bin via the TP-Link web UI (System -> Firmware Upgrade). scripts/tplink-re700x-factory.py wraps the rootfs UBI into the stock "nvrammanager" upload container (the same "tplink2022"/safeloader family as scripts/tplink-mkimage-2022.py); the stock flasher writes it into the inactive dual-boot slot. This path has not been tested end to end (no unit on stock firmware was left), so keep UART at hand for a first install. The stock U-Boot passes a slot-correct ubi.mtd= (rootfs / rootfs_1 per the dual-boot index) but with an unmountable root=mtd:ubi_rootfs. The DTS /chosen inherits ubi.mtd= and appends root=/dev/ubiblock0_1, so OpenWrt boots from whichever slot the flasher wrote. Like on the EAP650, sysupgrade installs into the inactive slot and then points tp_boot_idx at it, keeping the running slot as a fallback; the U-Boot environment is on 0:appsblenv. The QCN6122/IPQ5018 board-2.bin (BDF) data is supplied via ipq-wifi-tplink_re700x (openwrt/firmware_qca-wireless). Wi-Fi is disabled in the DTS for now: with the default ath11k DP ring sizes both radios exhaust the 256 MiB of RAM. It will be enabled in a follow-up together with the ath11k patch that selects smaller rings on low-memory boards, once that has been accepted upstream.

scripts: add Mercusys fwup image generator

2026-10-02T09:09:30Z

Mercusys devices whose stock web UI expects an fwup container reject the tplink-image-2022 container: the loader picks its verification algorithm from the fw-type string at offset 0x14, which that container does not write. Build the container the loader accepts, with the fw-type string, the support list and the MD5 placeholder digest in place. This is a separate script rather than a flag on tplink-mkimage-2022.py because only the first 0x14 bytes match, the BE length and the salted MD5 over file[4:]. That script writes 0xff filler up to 0x1014, a table there (>2I rootfs_size/num_items, then >I32s2I entries), data at a fixed 0x1814 base, the rootfs first and a packed >4B1I2I soft version. The fwup container has no table: 0x2c records of name[32] + >III base, next_off, size, each followed by its own data and chained through next_off until 0, the rootfs appended after the last record, and the soft version as ASCII soft_ver: in an ordinary record.

build: remove the AUDIO_SUPPORT and DISPLAY_SUPPORT symbols

2026-09-29T14:29:43Z

Nothing tests either symbol any more. AUDIO_SUPPORT was also selected by PCI_SUPPORT and USB_SUPPORT, which stood for "a sound card could be plugged in here": audio hardware sits behind MMC, SPI, a Bluetooth UART or an SoC PCM block just as often, so the inference never held. The display feature was derived from a literal CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE or CONFIG_FB in a kernel fragment, which misses every target whose fbdev came from DRM emulation. Delete both symbols, the two selects, the feature translations and the derivation. Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle

build: order the Hardware support menu before Base system

2026-09-29T14:29:43Z

Categories other than Base system are emitted in alphabetical order, so a category describing the hardware a device has would land halfway down the package menu among unrelated ones. Emit Hardware support first instead, ahead of Base system, since which device classes an image supports is the first thing to choose and everything else follows from it. print_package_config_category() returns early for a category no package uses, so this has no effect until such a package exists.

build: gate the VM image formats on their target features

2026-09-24T21:33:28Z

The x86 and armsr targets declare the vdi, vmdk and vhdx features, but VDI_IMAGES, VMDK_IMAGES and VHDX_IMAGES depend on a hardcoded target list instead, so the features select nothing and a target opting in has to edit config/Config-images.in. Give them USES_VDI, USES_VMDK and USES_VHDX in the same shape as the other image formats and depend on those. The set of targets offering each format is unchanged. Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle
