Before flashing, be sure to have a copy of factory firmware, in case You
wish to revert to original firmware.
Installation
1. Prepare TFTP server with OpenWrt sysupgrade image and rename that
image to "ap135.bin".
2. Connect to one of LAN ports.
3. Connect to serial port.
4. Hold the reset button (small through hole on side of the unit),
power on the device and when prompted to stop autoboot, hit any key.
The held button can now be released.
5. Alter U-Boot environment with following commands:
setenv bootcmd bootm 0x9F110000
saveenv
6. Adjust "ipaddr" (access point, default is 192.168.1.1) and "serverip"
(TFTP server, default is 192.168.1.10) addresses in U-Boot
environment, then run following commands:
tftp 0x80060000 ap135.bin
erase 0x9F110000 +0x1EF0000
cp.b 0x80060000 0x9F110000 $filesize
7. After successful flashing, execute:
boot
8. The access point will boot to OpenWrt. Wait few minutes, until the
wrench LED will stop blinking, then it's ready for configuration.
Notes
By default no power is provided on USB port, so attached USB devices
won't enumerate. To change that enable regulator with:
echo "enabled" > /sys/devices/platform/output-usb-vbus/state
To disable power write "disabled" to the same file.
Ther regulator state will reset on reboot, consider running this command
on hotplug event or add it to /etc/rc.local. The hotplug event should
look like this:
if [ "${PRODUCT}" = "1d6b/2/606" ] && [ "${ACTION}" = "add" ]; then
echo "enabled" > /sys/devices/platform/output-usb-vbus/state
fi
Place it in /etc/hotplug.d/usb/10-usb-power.
Known issues
Initramfs image can't be bigger than specified kernel size, otherwise
bootloader will throw LZMA decompressing error. Switching to lzma-loader
should workaround that.

Mikrotik RouterBOARD 2011 series are AR9344-based wired routers, with
optional 2,4GHz 802.11n 2x2:2 Wi-Fi radio, with desktop or rack-mount
capability, featuring 5 gigabit Ethernet ports and 5 fast Ethernet
ports. Different variants of the board are supported using a single
image.
Bare-bones RouterBOARD 2011LS is supported using the same image.
Specification:
- Power: 10-28V input via 5,5/2,1 DC barrel jack, or terminal block on
some boards
- CPU: AR9344 at 600 to 750MHz (configurable)
- RAM: 128MB (64MB in early versions) DDR2
- Flash: 128MB (64MB in early versions) NAND flash
- Gigabit Ethernet: 5 ports via AR8327 switch (eth1 to eth5)
- Fast Ethernet: 5 ports via AR9344 built-in switch (eth6 to eth10)
- SFP: single port through AR8327 switch (SGMII at port 6)
- PoE in: passive input up to 28V at eth1
- PoE out: passive output up to 28V at eth10
- USB: optional micro-AB host port or type-A host port
- Console: optional Cisco-style RS232 console at the back of the device,
on budget devices available as 3.3V UART via testpoints
- LCD: 2" touchscreen-equipped LCD (unsupported)
Installation:
- perform TFTP boot of initramfs image as for netinstall procedure
typical for Mikrotik devices
- when initramfs image boots, use sysupgrade to perform final
installation.
If upgrading from ar71xx, clean installation should be performed, as the
devices now uses yafut to handle kernel image.
TODO:
- 64MB NAND variant using K9F1208U0C isn't yet supported, because it
needs disabling subpage write support for that chip. A proper solution
would be to fix that in kernel, but I don't have this variant to test
with currently.
- The same is true for GD9FU1G8F3A NAND, which isn't ONFI compliant and
needs definition in kernel for proper geometry.
- SFP port probes over I²C and gigabit link is possible, but currently
the drivers lack support of handling link status information to
userspace, including swconfig. Link will appear as always up.
Currently, link status logging can detect something, but status both
for ports 0 and 6 is logged simultaneously,
but "swconfig dev switch0 show" will always show link up on port 6.
- Not yet fully known connection to display and touch panel, but some
documentation is available (seemingly connected via SPI, according to
Mikrotik's open source code at [1])

Fix execution of initramfs image on NEC Aterm devices by increasing
available memory for lzma extraction of lzma-loader.
The size of initramfs image of v24.10.0 exceeds available memory
(LZMA_TEXT_START - LOADADDR) and loader data running at LZMA_TEXT_START
will be overwritten by extracted data. As a result, LZMA extraction will
be broken and stuck (or unexpectedly reset).
Fix that issue by setting higher LZMA_TEXT_START address to increase
available memory for LZMA extraction by lzma-loader.

- Stock OS : NetBSD based
Flash instruction using initramfs-factory.bin image:
1. Connect and open serial console
2. Power on WG2200HP and interrupt bootloader by ESC key
3. Login to the bootloader CLI with a password "chiron"
4. Start TFTP server by "tftpd" command
5. Upload initramfs-factory.bin via tftp from your computer
example (Windows): tftp -i 192.168.0.1 PUT initramfs-factory.bin
6. Boot initramfs image by "boot" command
7. On the initramfs image, back up the stock bootloader and firmware if
needed
8. Upload (or download) uboot.bin and sysupgrade.bin image to the device
9. Rplace the bootloader with a uboot.bin image
mtd write <uboot.bin image> bootloader
10. Perform sysupgrade with a sysupgrade.bin image
11. Wait ~120 seconds to complete flashing
Notes:
- All LEDs are connected to the Diodes PI4IOE5V9539LE I2C Expander chip.
(compatible with NXP PCA9539)
- The stock bootloader requires an unknown filesystem on firmware area
in the flash. Booting of OpenWrt from that filesystem cannot be
handled, so the bootloader needs to be replaced to mainline U-Boot
before OpenWrt installation.
- The data length of blocks in firmware image will be checked
(4M < threshold < 6M) on the stock WebUI of all versions, and
initramfs-factory.bin image of OpenWrt has the larger block data for
initramfs image. So that image cannot be applied to the stock WebUI
at all.

This restores sysupgrade support
Since OpenWrt 23.05, the firmware selector no longer provides sysupgrade
images for RE450 V1 & V2 and RE355 v1 due to image size constraints
(~5.7MB limit), making the generic build unusable.
This commit moves RE450 V1 & V2 to the tiny target, enabling:
- Smaller image builds within the flash size limit.
- Restored sysupgrade support via the firmware selector.
- A secure-by-default wireless setup while allowing full management via UCI.
- Officially supported images, reducing the need for custom (potentially insecure) builds.
This ensures users can install a functional OpenWrt build without compromising security defaults.

- LEDs: Wi-Fi, Test (internal). Rest of LEDs (Phone, WWAN, Battery,
Signal state) handled entirely by modem. 4 link status LEDs handled by
the switch on the backside.
- Label MAC device: eth0
Internal modem of MF286C is supported via uqmi.
Console connection: connector X2 is the console port, with the following
pinout, starting from pin 1, which is the topmost pin when the board is
upright:
- VCC (3.3V). Do not use unless you need to source power for the
converer from it.
- TX
- RX
- GND
Default port configuration in U-boot as well as in stock firmware is
115200-8-N-1.
Installation:
Due to different flash layout from stock firmware, sysupgrade from
within stock firmware is impossible, despite it's based on QSDK which
itself is based on OpenWrt.
STEP 0: Stock firmware update:
As installing OpenWrt cuts you off from official firmware updates for
the modem part, it is recommended to update the stock firmware to latest
ath79: support ZTE MF286C
STEP 1: Booting initramfs image:
Method 1: using serial console (RECOMMENDED):
- Have TFTP server running, exposing the OpenWrt initramfs image, and
set your computer's IP address as 192.168.0.22. This is the default
expected by U-boot. You may wish to change that, and alter later
commands accordingly.
- Connect the serial console if you haven't done so already,
- Interrupt boot sequence by pressing any key in U-boot when prompted
- Use the following commands to boot OpenWrt initramfs through TFTP:
setenv serverip 192.168.0.22
setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.1
tftpboot 0x81000000 openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286c-initramfs-kernel.bin
bootm 0x81000000
(Replace server IP and router IP as needed). There is no emergency
TFTP boot sequence triggered by buttons, contrary to MF283+.
- When OpenWrt initramfs finishes booting, proceed to actual
installation.
STEP 2: Backing up original software:
As the stock firmware may be customized by the carrier and is not
officially available in the Internet, IT IS IMPERATIVE to back up the
stock firmware, if you ever plan to returning to stock firmware.
It is highly recommended to perform backup using both methods, to avoid
hassle of reassembling firmware images in future, if a restore is
needed.
Method 1: after booting OpenWrt initramfs image via TFTP:
- Connect your USB-UART adapter
- Dump stock firmware located on stock kernel and ubi partitions:
ssh root@192.168.1.1: cat /dev/mtd9 > mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin
ssh root@192.168.1.1: cat /dev/mtd4 > mtd4_kernel.bin
ssh root@192.168.1.1: cat /dev/mtd9 > mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin
And keep them in a safe place, should a restore be needed in future.
Method 2: using stock firmware:
- Connect an external USB drive formatted with FAT or ext4 to the USB
port.
- The drive will be auto-mounted to /var/usb_disk
- Check the flash layout of the device:
cat /proc/mtd
It should show the following:
mtd0: 000a0000 00010000 "u-boot"
mtd1: 00020000 00010000 "u-boot-env"
mtd2: 00140000 00010000 "reserved1"
mtd3: 000a0000 00020000 "fota-flag"
mtd4: 00080000 00020000 "art"
mtd5: 00080000 00020000 "mac"
mtd6: 000c0000 00020000 "reserved2"
mtd7: 00400000 00020000 "cfg-param"
mtd8: 00400000 00020000 "log"
mtd9: 000a0000 00020000 "oops"
mtd10: 00500000 00020000 "reserved3"
mtd11: 00800000 00020000 "web"
mtd12: 00300000 00020000 "kernel"
mtd13: 01a00000 00020000 "rootfs"
mtd14: 01900000 00020000 "data"
mtd15: 03200000 00020000 "fota"
mtd16: 01d00000 00020000 "firmware"
Differences might indicate that this is NOT a MF286C device but
one of other variants.
- Copy over all MTD partitions, for example by executing the following:
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15; do cat /dev/mtd$i > \
/var/usb_disk/mtd$i; done
"Firmware" partition can be skipped, it is a concatenation
of "kernel" and "rootfs".
- If the count of MTD partitions is different, this might indicate that
this is not a MF286C device, but one of its other variants.
- (optionally) rename the files according to MTD partition names from
/proc/mtd
- Unmount the filesystem:
umount /var/usb_disk; sync
and then remove the drive.
- Store the files in safe place if you ever plan to return to stock
firmware. This is especially important, because stock firmware for
this device is not available officially, and is usually customized by
the mobile providers.
STEP 3: Actual installation:
- Set your computer IP to 192.168.1.22/24
- scp the sysupgrade image to the device:
scp -O openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin \
root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
- ssh into the device and execute sysupgrade:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ath79-nand-zte_mf286a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
- Wait for router to reboot to full OpenWrt.
STEP 4: WAN connection establishment
Since the router is equipped with LTE modem as its main WAN interface, it
might be useful to connect to the Internet right away after
installation. To do so, please put the following entries in
/etc/config/network, replacing the specific configuration entries with
one needed for your ISP:
config interface 'wan'
option proto 'qmi'
option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0'
option auth '<auth>' # As required, usually 'none'
option pincode '<pin>' # If required by SIM
option apn '<apn>' # As required by ISP
option pdptype '<pdp>' # Typically 'ipv4', or 'ipv4v6' or 'ipv6'
For example, the following works for most polish ISPs
config interface 'wan'
option proto 'qmi'
option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0'
option auth 'none'
option apn 'internet'
option pdptype 'ipv4'
The required minimum is:
config interface 'wan'
option proto 'qmi'
option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0'
In this case, the modem will use last configured APN from stock
firmware - this should work out of the box, unless your SIM requires
PIN which can't be switched off.
If you have build with LuCI, installing luci-proto-qmi helps with this
task.
Restoring the stock firmware:
- Boot to initramfs as in step 3:
- Completely detach ubi0 partition using ubidetach /dev/ubi0_0
- Copy over the stock kernel image using scp to /tmp
- Erase kernel and restore stock kernel:
(scp mtd4_kernel.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/)
mtd write kernel /tmp/mtd4_kernel.bin
rm /tmp/mtd4_kernel.bin
- Copy over the stock partition backups one-by-one using scp to /tmp, and
restore them individually. Otherwise you might run out of space in
tmpfs:
(scp -O mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/)
mtd write ubiconcat0 /tmp/mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin
rm /tmp/mtd3_ubiconcat0.bin
(scp -O mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/)
mtd write ubiconcat1 /tmp/mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin
rm /tmp/mtd5_ubiconcat1.bin
- If the write was correct, force a device reboot with
reboot -f
Quirks and known issues
- It was observed, that CH340-based USB-UART converters output garbage
during U-boot phase of system boot. At least CP2102 is known to work
properly.
- Kernel partition size is increased to 4MB compared to stock 3MB, to
accomodate future kernel updates - at this moment OpenWrt 5.10 kernel
image is at 2.5MB which is dangerously close to the limit. This has no
effect on booting the system - but keep that in mind when reassembling
an image to restore stock firmware.
- uqmi seems to be unable to change APN manually, so please use the one
you used before in stock firmware first. If you need to change it,
please use protocok '3g' to establish connection once, or use the
following command to change APN (and optionally IP type) manually:
echo -ne 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","<apn>' > /dev/ttyUSB0
- The only usable LED as a "system LED" is the blue debug LED hidden
inside the case. All other LEDs are controlled by modem, on which the
router part has some influence only on Wi-Fi LED.
- GPIO5 used for modem reset is a suicide switch, causing a hardware
reset of whole board, not only the modem. It is attached to
gpio-restart driver, to restart the modem on reboot as well, to ensure
QMI connectivity after reboot, which tends to fail otherwise.
- Modem, as in MF283+, exposes root shell over ADB - while not needed
for OpenWrt operation at all - have fun lurking around.
The same modem module is used as in older MF286.

Pins are populated with a header and traces not blocked.
Bootloader is set to 9600 baud, 8 data, 1 stop.
**Console Access:**
Bootloader:
Interrupt boot with Ctrl+C
Press "k" and enter password "1"
OR
Hold reset button for 5 sec during power on
Interrupt the TFTP transfer with Ctrl+C
to print commands available, enter "help"
OEM:
default username is "admin", password blank
telnet is available at default address 192.168.1.2
serial is available with baud 9600
to print commands available, enter "help"
or tab-tab (busybox list of commands)
**Installation:**
Use factory.bin with OEM upgrade procedures
OR
Use initramfs.bin with uboot TFTP commands.
Then perform a sysupgrade with sysupgrade.bin
**TFTP Recovery:**
Using serial console, load initramfs.bin using TFTP
to boot openwrt without touching the flash.
**Return to OEM:**
The best way to return to OEM firmware
is to have a copy of the MTD partitions
before flashing Openwrt.
Backup copies should be made of partitions
"fwconcat0", "loader", and "fwconcat1"
which together is the same flash range
as OEM's "rootfs" and "uimage"
by loading an initramfs.bin
and using LuCI to download the mtdblocks.
It is also possible to extract from the
OEM firmware upgrade image by splitting it up
in parts of lengths that correspond
to the partitions in openwrt
and write them to flash,
after gzip decompression.
After writing to the firmware partitions,
erase the "reserved" partition and reboot.

- Heavily refactored the device tree
- Extended commit message
- Documented onboad connectors
- Refactored MAC and calibration data setups to use nvmem-layout
- Made both network interfaces LAN ports and bridge them, this makes
more sense for an access point and is consistent with the rest of
Ruckus APs.
- Enable lzma-loader for compressed initramfs
- Enabled the optional internal USB port
- Added missing LEDs and according pinctrl settings
- Added reserved memory region used for bootloader communication
- Added the bit-banged I²C bus and onboard TPM
- Refactored boot scheme and flash layout to match earlier Ruckus
devices and maximize usable space for user data.
Quirks:
- H7 is the physical presence switch for the SLB9645TT12 TPM.
TODO:
- Link state reporting on the Ethernet ports doesn't work and both ports
report "up" due to limitation of swconfig ar8327 driver. With DSA
conversion, this shall be rectified.
- Locate 2nd shift register (U7) controlling beamforming antennas, probably
on ath10k GPIOs which are currently unsupported in the driver. For
this, there is a device tree node describing that - but explicitly
disabled.
- At the moment of adding support, there is an endianness bug in the TPM
driver causing it to not detect the TPM module because of ID mismatch.

We can use a package for the MV88E6060 DSA switch on the single
ath79 device that uses it, saving around 600 KB of memory on
all other devices (for the DSA infrastructure, mainly).
As far as I can see the TP-Link TL WR941 v2 is the only device
using MV88E6060 and the only device with a DSA switch overall.
However the ath79 people should look at this so I'm not
mistaken.

The KuWFi N650 is a 5GHz outdoor wireless bridge based on QCA9563.
Specs
=====
CPU: QCA9563, 775MHz
RAM: 128MiB
Flash: 16MiB
Wireless: QCA9888 (5GHz only)
Ethernet: 2x GBit (via QCA8337), 48V passive PoE
Installation
============
From OEM firmware
-----------------
The OEM firmware has telnet enabled by default. If not, it can be enabled
from the firmware web interface. You need a TFTP server on your computer
and the OpenWrt factory image should be available as "n650factory.bin".
It is assumed that your computer has the IP 192.168.1.1 and the N650
192.168.1.20 (default IP address).
1. Connect via Telnet to the device and log in with the default credentials
"admin:admin"
2. Exploit the limited interface by typing "ps & /bin/sh"
3. Press <ENTER> to start the shell
4. Enter the following commands:
$ cd /tmp
$ tftp -r n650factory.bin -g 192.168.1.1
$ cat << EOF > /tmp/openwrt.sh
#!/bin/sh
IMAGE_NAME="\$1"
if [ ! -e \${IMAGE_NAME} ]; then
echo "Image file not found: \${IMAGE_NAME}"
exit 1
fi
. /usr/sbin/common.sh
kill_remaining TERM
sleep 3
kill_remaining KILL
run_ramfs mtd write \${IMAGE_NAME} firmware
sleep 2
reboot -f
EOF
$ chmod +x /tmp/openwrt.sh
$ /tmp/openwrt.sh n650factory.bin
Once the device reboots, it should load OpenWrt.
From UART
---------
UART installation is possible since the serial header is already soldered
on. The pinout is GND - Tx - Rx - VCC from top to bottom (RJ45 ports are
at the bottom). Connect with 115200 8N1.
First, boot OpenWrt from TFTP. Enter the following commands in the U-Boot
shell, assuming your computer has the IP address 192.168.1.1 and a TFTP
server running where the initramfs image is provided as n650.bin:
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.20
setenv serverip 192.168.1.1
tftpboot 0x84000000 n650.bin
bootm
Once booted, transfer -loader.bin and -sysupgrade.bin images to the device
at /tmp. Enter the following commands, replacing the filenames:
mtd write /tmp/loader.bin loader
sysupgrade /tmp/sysupgrade.bin
Reboot and OpenWrt should load from flash.
Back to Stock
-------------
Back to stock is only possible if you saved a partition backup before
installing OpenWrt. Assuming you have fullbackup.bin covering the whole
flash, you need to prepare the image as follows:
$ dd if=fullbackup.bin of=fwconcat0.bin bs=65536 skip=4 count=212
$ dd if=fullbackup.bin of=loader.bin bs=65536 skip=216 count=1
$ dd if=fullbackup.bin of=fwconcat1.bin bs=65536 skip=217 count=22
$ cat fwconcat0.bin fwconcat1.bin > firmware.bin
Transfer firmware.bin and loader.bin to the OpenWrt device. First, flash
loader.bin to mtd device loader, then force sysupgrade:
$ mtd write loader.bin loader
$ sysupgrade -F firmware.bin
The reason for the two-step process is the way the flash layout is designed
for OpenWrt in contrast to the OEM firmware partition.

Unique to AP15C:
- Reset button
- External RJ45 serial console port
Flashing instructions:
This firmware can be flashed either via a compatible Sophos SG or XG
firewall appliance, which does not require disassembling the device, or via
the U-Boot console available on the internal UART header.
To flash via XG appliance:
- Register on Sophos' website for a no-cost Home Use XG firewall license
- Download and install the XG software on a compatible PC or virtual
machine, complete initial appliance setup, and enable SSH console access
- Connect the target AP device to the XG appliance's LAN interface
- Approve the AP from the XG Web UI and wait until it shows as Active
(this can take 3-5 minutes)
- Connect to the XG appliance over SSH and access the Advanced Console
(Menu option 5, then menu option 3)
- Run `sudo awetool` and select the menu option to connect to an AP via
SSH. When prompted to enable SSH on the target AP, select Yes.
- Wait 2-3 minutes, then select the AP from the awetool menu again. This
will connect you to a root shell on the target AP.
- Copy the firmware to /tmp/openwrt.bin on the target AP via SCP/TFTP/etc
- Run `mtd -r write /tmp/openwrt.bin astaro_image`
- When complete, the access point will reboot to OpenWRT.
To flash via U-Boot serial console:
- Configure a TFTP server on your PC, and set IP address 192.168.99.8 with
netmask 255.255.255.0
- Copy the firmware .bin to the TFTP server and rename to 'uImage_AP15C'
- Open the target AP's enclosure and locate the 4-pin 3.3V UART header [4]
- Connect the AP ethernet to your PC's ethernet port
- Connect a terminal to the UART at 115200 8/N/1 as usual
- Power on the AP and press a key to cancel autoboot when prompted
- Run the following commands at the U-Boot console:
- `tftpboot`
- `cp.b $fileaddr 0x9f070000 $filesize`
- `boot`
- The access point will boot to OpenWRT.

The last "syscfg" partition of the OEM firmware turns out to be a
UBIFS used to store user data, just as the "rootfs_data" of OpenWrt,
so it should be reasonable to absorb it into the "ubi" partition.
Factory installations via either OEM firmware or tftp, or by forcibly
flashing factory image to mtd5 (firmware) partition with mtd tool are
confirmed working, but the UBI remaining inside "syscfg" partition
could break upgrade. Fortunately, installing kmod-mtd-rw and erasing
"syscfg" partition before upgrade is confirmed working, in which case,
"ubi" will automatically expand to the blank space once occupied by
the former mtd8 (syscfg), with the total block number increased, but
the UBIFS for rootfs_data will not automatically claim the newly
available space (since it is created when mtd8 still exists, and
sysupgrade does not set "autoresize" flag to rootfs_data). These space
will be claimed during the next upgrade, when rootfs_data is removed
and created again.

The swconfig-based b53 driver for the BCM53128 switch stopped working
after commits b2cfed48f6 (Revert "swconfig: fix Broadcom b53 support")
and e4e410733f (kernel: export switch_generic_set_link() symbol). This
rendered the 8 LAN ports of the EdgeSwitch 8XP non-functional, so the
image compilation for the device was disabled (5a1d7d8c1b).
This commit adds the kmod-dsa-b53-mdio and kmod-dsa-b53 packages
with the upstream B53 DSA driver, replacing the swconfig-based
kmod and kmod-switch-bcm53xx-mdio downstream ones that are not used by
any other device.
The 8 LAN ports of the EdgeSwitch 8XP are usable again. The 02_network
init script has been updated with the new DSA interfaces lan1 .. lan8.
Image building has been reenabled for the device, adding the usual DSA
incompatibility notice.
Tested on a Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 8XP.

Device support for Sophos AP15 is based on Sophos AP55(C) and AP100(C).
Those other Sophos access points uss a QCA9558 SoC (some of them with
one of the three chains on the built-in SoC's wifi disabled) while the
AP15 uses a QCA9557 SoC (which only has two chains enabled in the
package or silicon).
This is mostly cosmetic since QCA9558 and QCA9557 are virtually
identical and all differences are automatically detected and/or managed
by the ART calibration.

- CPU: AR9344 SoC at 480MHz
- RAM: 128MB DDR2
- Flash: 32MB SPI-NOR
- Wi-Fi 2.4GHz: AR9344-internal radio
- Wi-Fi 5GHz: AR9580 PCIe WLAN SoC
- Ethernet: 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet through Atheros AR8035 PHY
- PoE: yes
- Standalone 12V/2A power input
- Serial console externally available through RJ45 port
- External watchdog: CAT706SVI (1.6s timeout)
Serial console:
9600n8 (9600 baud, no stop bits, no parity, 8 data bits)
MAC addresses:
Each device has 32 consecutive MAC addresses allocated by
the vendor, which don't overlap between devices.
This was confirmed with multiple devices with consecutive
serial numbers.
The MAC address range starts with the address on the label.
To be able to distinguish between the interfaces,
the following MAC address scheme is used:
- eth0 = label MAC
- radio0 (Wi-Fi 2.4GHz) = label MAC + 1
- radio1 (Wi-Fi 5GHz) = label MAC + 2

0. Connect some sort of RJ45-to-USB adapter to "Console" port of the AP
1. Power up the AP
2. At prompt "Press f or F to stop Auto-Boot in 3 seconds",
do what they say.
Log in with default admin password "admin@huawei.com".
3. Boot the OpenWrt initramfs from TFTP using the hidden script "run ramboot".
Replace IP address as needed:
> setenv serverip 192.168.1.10
> setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
> setenv rambootfile openwrt-ath79-generic-huawei_ap6010dn-initramfs-kernel.bin
> saveenv
> run ramboot
4. Optional but recommended as the factory firmware cannot be downloaded publicly:
Back up contents of "firmware" partition using the web interface or ssh:
$ ssh root@192.168.1.1 cat /dev/mtd11 > huawei_ap6010dn_fw_backup.bin
5. Run sysupgrade using sysupgrade image. OpenWrt
shall boot from flash afterwards.
Return to factory firmware (using firmware upgrade package downloaded from non-public Huawei website):
1. Start a TFTP server in the directory where
the firmware upgrade package is located
2. Boot to u-boot as described above
3. Install firmware upgrade package and format the config partitions:
> update system FatAP6X10XN_SOMEVERSION.bin
> format_fs
Return to factory firmware (from previously created backup):
1. Copy over the firmware partition backup to /tmp,
for example using scp
2. Use sysupgrade with force to restore the backup:
sysupgrade -F huawei_ap6010dn_fw_backup.bin
3. Boot AP to U-Boot as described above
Quirks and known issues:
- The stock firmware has a semi dual boot concept where the primary
kernel uses a squashfs as root partition and the secondary kernel uses
an initramfs. This dual boot concept is circumvented on purpose to gain
more flash space and since the stock firmware's flash layout isn't
compatible with mtdsplit.
- The external watchdog's timeout of 1.6s is very hard to satisfy
during bootup. This is why the GPIO15 pin connected to the watchdog input
is configured directly in the LZMA loader to output the AHB_CLK/2 signal
which keeps the watchdog happy until the wdt-gpio kernel driver takes
over. Because it would also take too long to read the whole kernel image
from flash, the uImage header only includes the loader which then reads
the kernel image from flash after GPIO15 is configured.

The Yafut tool now has limited capabilities for working on filesystem
images stored in regular files. This enables preparing Yaffs2 images
for devices with NOR flash using upstream Yaffs2 filesystem code instead
of the custom kernel2minor tool.
Since minimizing the size of the resulting filesystem image size is
important and upstream Yaffs2 code requires two allocator reserve blocks
to be available when writing a file to the filesystem, a trick is
employed while preparing an OpenWRT image: the blank filesystem image
that Yafut operates on initially contains two extra erase blocks that
are chopped off after the kernel file is written. This is safe to do
because Yaffs2 has a true log structure and therefore only ever writes
sequentially (and the size of the kernel file is known beforehand).
While the two extra erase blocks are necessary for writes, Yaffs2 code
seems to be perfectly capable of reading back files from a "truncated"
filesystem that does not contain these extra erase blocks.
In terms of image size, this new approach is only marginally worse than
the current kernel2minor-based one: specifically, upstream Yaffs2 code
needs to write three object headers (each of which takes up an entire
data chunk) when the kernel file is written to the filesystem:
- an object header for the kernel file when it is created,
- an object header for the root directory when the kernel file is
created,
- an updated object header for the kernel file when the latter is
fully written (so that its new size can be recorded).
kernel2minor only writes two of these headers, which is the absolute
minimum required for reading the file back. This means that the
Yafut-based approach causes firmware images to be at most one erase
block (64 kB) larger than those created using kernel2minor, but only in
the very unfortunate scenario where the size of the kernel file is
really close to a multiple of the erase block size.
The rest of the calculations performed when the empty filesystem image
is first prepared stems from the Yaffs2 layout used by MikroTik NOR
devices: each 65,536-byte erase block contains 63 chunks, each of which
consists of 1024 bytes of data followed by 16-byte Yaffs tags without
ECC data; each such group of 63 chunks is then followed by 16 bytes of
padding, which translates to "-C 1040 -B 64k -E" in the Yafut
invocation. Yaffs2 checkpoints and summaries are disabled (using
Yafut's -P and -S switches, respectively) as they are merely performance
optimizations that require extra storage space. The -L and -M switches
are used to force little-endian or big-endian byte order (respectively)
in the resulting filesystem image, no matter what byte order the build
host uses. The tr invocation is used to ensure that the filesystem
image is initialized with 0xFF bytes (which are an indicator of unused
space for Yaffs2 code).

Before flashing, be sure to have a copy of factory firmware, in case You
wish to revert to original firmware.
All described procedures were done in following environment:
ROM Version: SonicROM (U-Boot) 8.0.0.0-11o
SafeMode Firmware Version: SonicOS 8.0.0.0-14o
Firmware Version: SonicOS 9.0.1.0
In case of other versions, following installation instructions might be
ineffective.
Installation
1. Prepare TFTP server with OpenWrt sysupgrade image and rename that
image to "sp_fw.bin".
2. Connect to one of LAN ports.
3. Connect to serial port.
4. Hold the reset button (small through hole on side of the unit),
power on the device and when prompted to stop autoboot, hit any key.
The held button can now be released.
5. Alter U-Boot environment with following commands:
setenv bootcmd bootm 0x9F110000
saveenv
6. Adjust "ipaddr" (access point, default is 192.168.1.1) and "serverip"
(TFTP server, default is 192.168.1.10) addresses in U-Boot
environment, then run following commands:
tftp 0x80060000 sp_fw.bin
erase 0x9F110000 +0x1EF0000
cp.b 0x80060000 0x9F110000 $filesize
7. After successful flashing, execute:
boot
8. The access point will boot to OpenWrt. Wait few minutes, until the
wrench LED will stop blinking, then it's ready for configuration.
Known issues
Initramfs image can't be bigger than specified kernel size, otherwise
bootloader will throw LZMA decompressing error. Switching to lzma-loader
should workaround that.
This device has Winbond 25Q256FVFG and doesn't have reliable reset, which
causes hang on reboot, thus broken-flash-reset needs to be added. This
property addition causes dispaly of "scary" warning on each boot, take
this warnig into consideration.
