ath79: add support for TP-Link CPE710-v1

2021-09-25T17:28:54Z

TP-Link CPE710-v1 is an outdoor wireless CPE for 5 GHz with one Ethernet port based on the AP152 reference board Specifications: - SoC: QCA9563-AL3A MIPS 74kc @ 775MHz, AHB @ 258MHz - RAM: 128MiB DDR2 @ 650MHz - Flash: 16MiB SPI NOR Based on the GD25Q128 - Wi-Fi 5Ghz: ath10k chip (802.11ac for up to 867Mbps on 5GHz wireless data rate) Based on the QCA9896 - Ethernet: one 1GbE port - 23dBi high-gain directional 2×2 MIMO antenna and a dedicated metal reflector - Power, LAN, WLAN5G Blue LEDs - 3x Blue LEDs Flashing instructions: Flash factory image through stock firmware WEB UI or through TFTP To get to TFTP recovery just hold reset button while powering on for around 30-40 seconds and release. Rename factory image to recovery.bin Stock TFTP server IP:192.168.0.100 Stock device TFTP address:192.168.0.254 Signed-off-by: Andrew Cameron [convert to nvmem, fix MAC assignment in 11-ath10k-caldata] Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler

ramips: add missing information to dlink headers

2021-09-24T10:32:28Z

Add additional header information required for newer bootloaders found on DIR-2660-A1 & A2. Also remove the MTD splitter compatible from the second firmware partition, as OpenWrt only supports handling of the first one.

firmware-utils: tplink-safeloader: set EAP235-Wall v1 soft-version

2021-09-13T16:36:15Z

Starting with v3 of the vendor firmware for the TP-Link EAP235-Wall v1, downgrades to firmware versions below v3 as not allowed. Since OpenWrt uses version 0.0.0 as a default, this causes the factory install to fail on devices with a recent firmware. This failure is associated by the following message on the device's serial console: EAP235/230-Wall forbid fw reverted from 3.x.x to lower version! Vendor firmware (v3) also uses build and release numbers to compare images, so identical version numbers are very unlikely to cause issues. Bump the firmware version to 3.0.0 to ensure users can install OpenWrt on their devices. Reported-by: Colton Conor Tested-by: Colton Conor Signed-off-by: Sander Vanheule

firmware-utils: tplink-safeloader: improve soft-version customisation

2021-09-13T16:36:15Z

Some devices using the safeloader firmware format require a minimum or specific version to be set in the soft-version metadata partition. Currently only custom text values can be provided, but not all device firmware support this format. Modify the device info struct to allow for more well-defined types of soft-version overwrites, and provide a few macros for easy value initialisation. Requires all existing values to be updated to match the new structure. Signed-off-by: Sander Vanheule [Adapt TL-WA1201-V2 entry too] Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens

firmware-utils: tplink-safeloader: use revision field

2021-09-09T21:36:13Z

The structured soft-version partition has a field which contains a (source) revision number. Factory images used to include this, but it was accidentaly removed during an earlier refactoring. Include the source revision number again in the generated soft-version partition. Additionaly, also show this revision number when printing image info.

firmware-utils: seama.h: replace LGPL-2.1-or-later boilerplate with SPDX

2021-09-07T07:37:35Z

This was missed because scancode license scanner was confused by a slightly different than expected license text (96,75% license score). License text included "file" instead of "library" in the main part of the licensing info. It also used "The GNU C Library" instead of the standard "This library" in 2nd and 3rd paragraphs. The first paragraph clearly mentions LGPL-2.1-or-later and the use of "file" instead of "library" should not affect licensing. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki Acked-by: Adrian Schmutzler

ath79: add support for TP-Link TL-WA1201 v2

2021-09-05T21:52:35Z

This device is a wireless access point working on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band, based on Qualcomm/Atheros QCA9563 + QCA9886. Specification - 775 MHz CPU - 128 MB of RAM (DDR2) - 16 MB of FLASH (SPI NOR) - QCA9563: 2.4 GHz 3x3 - QCA9886: 5 GHz - AR8033: 1x 1 Gbs Ethernet - 4x LED, WPS factory reset and power button - bare UART on PCB (accessible through testpoints) Methods for Flashing: - Apply factory image in OEM firmware web-gui. Wait a minute after the progress bar completes and restart the device. - Sysupgrade on top of existing OpenWRT image - Solder wires onto UART testpoints and attach a terminal. Boot the device and press enter to enter u-boot's menu. Then issue the following commands 1. setenv serverip your-server-ip setenv ipaddr your-device-ip 2. tftp 0x80060000 openwrt-squashfs.bin (Rembember output of size in hex, henceforth "sizeinhex") 3. erase 0x9f030000 +"sizeinhex" 4. cp.b 0x80060000 0x9f030000 0x"sizeinhex" 5. reboot Recover: - U-boot serial console Signed-off-by: Robert Balas [convert to nvmem] Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler
