Sander van Deijck b6a07dd091 ramips: mt7621: add support for Arcadyan WE410443 
The Arcadyan WE410443 is a WiFi AC access point distributed by various ISPs
under various names, including KPN SuperWifi and BT Whole Home Wi-Fi. It
features one ethernet port, dual MT7615N radios and four internal antennas.

Hardware:
- SoC: Mediatek MT7621AT
- Flash: 32 MB
- RAM: 128 MB
- Ethernet: 1x 10/100/1000 Mbps, built into the SoC
- WLAN: 2x MediaTek MT7615N
- Buttons: 1 Reset button, 1 WPS button
- LEDs: 1x Green, 1x Blue, 1x Red, all unmarked
- Power: 12 VDC, 1.5A barrel plug

Installation:
The bootloader is locked with a password, so the image needs to be written
directly to the SPI flash chip. To do this, you need to open up the case,
remove the heatsink and connect the flash chip to a Raspberry Pi. Use the
following connections:

Flash chip --> Raspberry Pi

VCC --> 3v3
RESET --> 3v3
/CS --> GPIO 8
DO --> GPIO 9
CLK --> GPIO 11
DI --> GPIO 10
GND --> Ground

You can solder wires to the flash chip, or use a SOIC16 clip. More details on
the Raspberry Pi and SPI chip pinouts are available on the wiki [1]
When you have the Raspberry Pi connected to the flash chip, boot your Pi and
follow the instructions:

1) Make sure your Pi has SPI enabled with sudo raspi-config

2) Install necessary tools: sudo apt install xxd libubootenv-tool mtd-utils

3) Upload overlay and execute:
sudo dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o
/boot/overlays/we410443.dtbo we410443-overlay.dts

4) Enable in /boot/firmware/config.txt by adding a new line containing
dtoverlay=we410443

5) Reboot your Pi and verify the mtd partitions with
cat /proc/mtd, you should see:

dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 02000000 00001000 "all"
mtd1: 00030000 00001000 "u-boot"
mtd2: 00010000 00001000 "u-boot-env"
mtd3: 00010000 00001000 "factory"
mtd4: 01f60000 00001000 "firmware"
mtd5: 00010000 00001000 "glbcfg"
mtd6: 00010000 00001000 "config"
mtd7: 00010000 00001000 "glbcfg2"
mtd8: 00010000 00001000 "config2"

6) Optionally (but recommended), make a backup:
sudo dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=backup.bin
It can be restored with: sudo flashcp backup.bin /dev/mtd0

7) Set the variables for the bootloader:
echo '/dev/mtd2 0x0 0x1000 0x1000' > fw_env.config
sudo fw_setenv -c fw_env.config bootpartition 0

8) Finally, flash the image:
sudo flashcp openwrt-ramips-mt7621-arcadyan_we410443-
squashfs-sysupgrade.bin /dev/mtd4

MAC addresses
The label address is stored in ASCII in the config partition

Use --> Address

Device --> label
Ethernet --> label
WLAN 2g --> + 1
WLAN 5g --> + 2

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.

Related Repositories

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).
