firmware: add custom IPQ wifi board definitions On the ath10k-devel ML Michael Kazior stated: "board-2 is a key-value store of actual board files. Some devices, notably qca61x4 hw3+ and qca4019 need distinct board files to be uploaded. Otherwise they fail in various ways." [0]. Later on Rajkumar Manoharan explained: "In QCA4019 platform, only radio specific calibration (pre-cal-data) is stored in flash. Board specific contents are read from board-2.bin. For each radio appropriate board data should be loaded. To fetch correct board data from board-2.bin bundle, pre-cal/radio specific caldata should be loaded first to get proper board id. |My understanding until now was that: | | * pre-cal data + board-2.bin info == actual calibration data Correct." [1]. The standard board-2.bin from the ath10k-firmware-qca4019 barely works on the RT-AC58U. Especially 5GHz clients fail to connect at all and if they do, they have very low throughput even right next to the router. Currently, the solution for this problem is to supply a custom board-2.bin for every device. To implement this feature, this method makes use of: Rafał Miłecki's "base-files: add support for overlaying rootfs content". This comes with a few limitations: 1. Since there can only be one board-2.bin at the right location, there can only one board overwrite installed at any time. (All packages CONFLICT with each other. It's also not possible to "builtin" multiple package.) 2. updating ath10k-firmware-qca4019 will also replace the board-2.bin. For this cases the user needs to manually reinstall the wifi-board package once the ath10k-firmware-qca4019 is updated. To create the individual board-2.bin: Use the ath10k-bdencoder utility from the qca-swiss-army-knife repository: <https://github.com/qca/qca-swiss-army-knife> The raw board.bin files have to be extracted from the vendor's source GPL.tar archieves.

ipq40xx: add support for ASUS RT-AC58U/RT-ACRH13 This patch adds support for ASUS RT-AC58U/RT-ACRH13. hardware highlights: SOC: IPQ4018 / QCA Dakota CPU: Quad-Core ARMv7 Processor rev 5 (v7l) Cortex-A7 DRAM: 128 MiB DDR3L-1066 @ 537 MHz (1074?) NT5CC64M16GP-DI NOR: 2 MiB Macronix MX25L1606E (for boot, QSEE) NAND: 128 MiB Winbond W25NO1GVZE1G (cal + kernel + root, UBI) ETH: Qualcomm Atheros QCA8075 Gigabit Switch (4 x LAN, 1 x WAN) USB: 1 x 3.0 (via Synopsys DesignWare DWC3 controller in the SoC) WLAN1: Qualcomm Atheros QCA4018 2.4GHz 802.11bgn 2:2x2 WLAN2: Qualcomm Atheros QCA4018 5GHz 802.11a/n/ac 2:2x2 INPUT: one Reset and one WPS button LEDS: Status, WAN, WIFI1/2, USB and LAN (one blue LED for each) Serial: WARNING: The serial port needs a TTL/RS-232 3V3 level converter! The Serial setting is 115200-8-N-1. The board has an unpopulated 1x4 0.1" header. The pinout (VDD, RX, GND, TX) is printed on the PCB right next to the connector. U-Boot Note: The ethernet driver isn't always reliable and can sometime time out... Don't worry, just retry. Access via the serial console is required. As well as a working TFTP-server setup and the initramfs image. (If not provided, it has to be built from the OpenWrt source. Make sure to enable LZMA as the compression for the INITRAMFS!) To install the image permanently, you have to do the following steps in the listed order. 1. Open up the router. There are four phillips screws hiding behind the four plastic feets on the underside. 2. Connect the serial cable (See notes above) 3. Connect your router via one of the four LAN-ports (yellow) to a PC which can set the IP-Address and ssh and scp from. If possible set your PC's IPv4 Address to 192.168.1.70 (As this is the IP-Address the Router's bootloader expects for the tftp server) 4. power up the router and enter the u-boot choose option 1 to upload the initramfs image. And follow through the ipv4 setup. Wait for your router's status LED to stop blinking rapidly and glow just blue. (The LAN LED should also be glowing blue). 3. Connect to the OpenWrt running in RAM The default IPv4-Address of your router will be 192.168.1.1. 1. Copy over the openwrt-sysupgrade.bin image to your router's temporary directory # scp openwrt-sysupgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp 2. ssh from your PC into your router as root. # ssh root@192.168.1.1 The default OpenWrt-Image won't ask for a password. Simply hit the Enter-Key. Once connected...: run the following commands on your temporary installation 3. delete the "jffs2" ubi partition to make room for your new root partition # ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 --name=jffs2 4. install OpenWrt on the NAND Flash. # sysupgrade -v /tmp/openwrt-sysupgrade.bin - This will will automatically reboot the router - Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@gmail.com>
