Davide Fioravanti bb505d82ad ramips: add support for Wavlink WL-WN531A3
The Wavlink WL-WN531A3 is an AC1200 router with 5 fast ethernet ports
and one USB 2.0 port.
It's also known as Wavlink QUANTUM D4.

RAM:   64MB
FLASH: 8MB NOR (GigaDevice GD25Q64CSIG3)
ETH:
  - 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (4x LAN + 1x WAN)
WIFI:
  - 2.4GHz: 1x (integrated in SOC) (2x2:2)
  - 5GHz:   1x MT7612E (2x2:2)
  - 4 external antennas
BTN:
  - 1x Reset button
  - 1x WPS button
  - 1x Turbo button
  - 1x Touchlink button
  - 1x ON/OFF switch
LEDS:
  - 1x Red led (system status)
  - 1x Blue led (system status)
  - 7x Blue leds (wifi led + 5 ethernet ports + power)
USB:
  - 1x USB 2.0 port
UART:
  - 57600-8-N-1
    J1
      O VCC +3,3V (near lan ports)
      o RX
      o TX
      o GND

Everything works correctly.

Currently there is no firmware update available. Because of this, in
order to restore the OEM firmware, you must firstly dump the OEM
firmware from your router before you flash the OpenWrt image.

Backup the OEM Firmware
-----------------------
The following steps are to be intended for users having little to none
experience in linux. Obviously there are many ways to backup the OEM
firmware, but probably this is the easiest way for this router.
Procedure tested on M31A3.V4300.200420 firmware version.

1) Go to http://192.168.10.1/webcmd.shtml

2) Type the following line in the "Command" input box and then press enter:
	mkdir /etc_ro/lighttpd/www/dev; cp /dev/mtd0ro /etc_ro/lighttpd/www/dev/mtd0ro; ls -la /etc_ro/lighttpd/www/dev/mtd0ro

3) After few seconds in the textarea should appear this output:
	-rw-r--r--    1 0        0         8388608 /etc_ro/lighttpd/www/dev/mtd0ro

   If your output doesn't match mine, stop reading and ask for
   help in the forum.

4) Open in another tab http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd0ro to download the
   content of the whole NOR. If the file size is 0 byte, stop reading
   and ask for help in the forum.

5) Come back to the http://192.168.10.1/webcmd.shtml webpage and type:
	rm /etc_ro/lighttpd/www/dev/mtd0ro; for i in 1 2 3 4 ; do cp /dev/mtd${i}ro /etc_ro/lighttpd/www/dev/mtd${i}ro; done; ls -la /etc_ro/lighttpd/www/dev/

6) After few seconds, in the textarea should appear this output:
	-rw-r--r--    1 0        0          196608 mtd1ro
	-rw-r--r--    1 0        0           65536 mtd2ro
	-rw-r--r--    1 0        0           65536 mtd3ro
	-rw-r--r--    1 0        0         8060928 mtd4ro
	drwxr-xr-x    7 0        0               0 ..
	drwxr-xr-x    2 0        0               0 .

   If your output doesn't match mine, stop reading and ask for
   help in the forum.

7) Open the following links to download the partitions of the OEM FW:
	http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd1ro
	http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd2ro
	http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd3ro
	http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd4ro

   If one (or more) of these files are 0 byte, stop reading and ask
   for help in the forum.

8) Store these downloaded files in a safe place.

9) Reboot your router to remove any temporary file in ram.

Installation
------------
Flash the initramfs image in the OEM firmware interface
(http://192.168.10.1/update.shtml).
When Openwrt boots, flash the sysupgrade image otherwise you won't be
able to keep configuration between reboots.

Restore OEM Firmware
--------------------
Flash the "mtd4ro" file you previously backed-up directly from LUCI.
Warning: Remember to not keep settings!
Warning2: Remember to force the flash.

Notes
-----
1) Router mac addresses:
   LAN		XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:9B (factory @ 0x28)
   WAN		XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:9C (factory @ 0x2e)
   WIFI 2G	XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:9D (factory @ 0x04)
   WIFI 5G	XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:9E (factory @ 0x8004)

   LABEL	XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:9D

2) There is just one wifi led for both wifi interfaces.
   It currently shows only the 2.4 GHz wifi activity.

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!

Development

To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX 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 python3.6+ 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).
