Jonathan Sturges 79b5151d7f ramips: add support for Wavlink WL-WN570HA2
The Wavlink Aerial HD3 (WL-WN570HA2) is an AC1200 dual-band outdoor
access point.  It supports 802.3AT/AF PoE and is IP67 waterproof.
It is based on the MediaTek MT7628DAN SoC and MT7613BEN WiFi 5 chip.
This model uses the 100Mbit LAN and 2.4Ghz WiFi elements of the
MT7628 and the 5Ghz WiFi of the MT7613.

Specification:
- SoC: MediaTek MT7628DAN (1C/1T) @ 580MHz
- RAM: 64MB DDR2 (integrated in SoC)
- FLASH: 16MB SPI NOR (Fudan FM25Q128A)
- Ethernet: 1x 10/100Mbps
- WiFi: 2.4/5 GHz 2T2R
  - 2.4GHz MediaTek MT7628DAN bgn
  - 5GHz MediaTek MT7613BEN nac
- Antennas: 2x detachable, dual-band 7dBi with RP-SMA connectors.
- USB: none
- BTN: Reset
- LED: 6 total: power; WAN/LAN; WiFi; WiFi low; WiFi med; Wifi high
- UART:  surface-mount on PCB.  Pins are marked via silkscreen.
   pin1 (square pad, towards Ethernet)=Vcc, pin2=RX,
   pin3=TX, pin4=GND.  Settings: 57600/8N1.
   NOTE: The TX & RX silkscreens were reversed on my test unit.

Installation:
1) This device requires a HTTP recovery procedure to do an initial load
  of OpenWRT.  You will need:
  a. A web browser (private window recommended)
  b. Configure an Ethernet interface to 192.168.1.x/24; don't use .1
  c. Connect a cable between the computer and the Wavlink's PoE injector.
2) Put the Wavlink in HTTP recovery mode.
  a. Do this by pressing and holding the reset button on the bottom while
  powering the unit on.
  b. As soon as all 6 LEDs light up blue (roughly 2-3 seconds), release
  the button.
  c. The LEDs should all remain lit, indicating it's in HTTP recovery.
3) Point the browser at http://192.168.1.1/index.html
4) Click "Choose File" and select the OpenWRT sysupgrade image.
5) Click the "Update Firmware" button and wait while the unit flashes
the image and reboots.
6) When the system comes back up fully, only the power LED will be lit.
Wait an extra minute then you should be able to reach OpenWRT on
http://192.168.1.1
5) Log into LuCI as root; there is no password.

Revert to the OEM Firmware:
--------------------------
* U-boot HTTP:
  Follow the HTTP recovery steps, and use a firmware image downloaded
  from Wavlink.

OpenWrt logo

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Sunshine!

Download

Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.

If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.

An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:

Development

To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or macOS system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.

Requirements

You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.

binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.7+ rsync subversion unzip which

Quickstart

  1. Run ./scripts/feeds update -a to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

  2. Run ./scripts/feeds install -a to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/

  3. Run make menuconfig to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

  4. Run make to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.

The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.

  • LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.

  • OpenWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.

  • OpenWrt Routing: Packages specifically focused on (mesh) routing.

  • OpenWrt Video: Packages specifically focused on display servers and clients (Xorg and Wayland).
