George Moussalem d7f9e240c2 qualcommax: ipq50xx: Add support for Xiaomi AX6000 
Add support for Xiaomi AX6000.

Speficiations:
* SoC: Qualcomm IPQ5018 (64-bit dual-core ARM Cortex-A53 @ 1.0Ghz)
* Memory: Etrontech EM6HE16EWAKG 512 MiB DDR3L-933
* Serial Port: 1v8 TTL 115200n8
* Wi-Fi: IPQ5018 (2x2 2.4 Ghz 802.11b/g/n/ax - up to 574 Mbps)
	 QCN9024 (4x4 5 Ghz 802.11an/ac/ax - up to 4804 Mbps)
 	 QCA9887 (1x1 5 Ghz 802.11ac/n - up to 433 Mbps)
* Ethernet: IPQ5018 integrated virtual switch connected to:
	- external QCA8337 switch   (3 LAN Ports 10/100/1000)
	- QCA8081 Phy WAN port  (10/100/1000/2500)
* Flash: Either of:
	- Gigadevice GD5F1GQ4RE9IGD (128 MiB)
	- ESMT F50D1G41LB (128 MiB)
* LEDs: 1x WLAN Link (GPIO 23 Active High)
	1x System Blue   (GPIO 24 Active High)
	1x System Yellow (GPIO 25 Active High)
	1x WAN Link Blue (GPIO 26 Active High)
	1x WAN Link Yellow   (GPIO 27 Active High)
	1x Green - Unused(GPIO 28 Active High)
	3x LAN Phy Green
	1x WAN Phy Green
* Buttons: 1x Reset  (GPIO 38 Active Low)

Known issue:
- QCA9887 doesn't come up (possibly due to 1-lane PCIe phy not coming up or missing method to drive power),
  hence the host PCIe controller is disabled in the DTS.

Flash instructions:

Download XMIR Patcher: https://github.com/openwrt-xiaomi/xmir-patcher

First flash a ubinized OpenWrt initramfs that will serve as the intermediate step, since
OpenWrt uses unified rootfs in order to fully utilize NAND and provide enough space for
packages, through either of the below two methods:

Installation via XMIR Patcher:

1. Load the initramfs image: openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-xiaomi_ax6000-initramfs-factory.ubi

Installation via ubiformat method, through SSH:

1. If needed, enable SSH using XMIR Patcher.
2. Copy the file openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-xiaomi_ax6000-initramfs-factory.ubi to the /tmp directory
3. Open an SSH shell to the router
4. Check which rootfs partition is your router booted in (0 = rootfs | 1 = rootfs_1):
nvram get flag_boot_rootfs
5. Find the rootfs and rootfs_1 mtd indexes respectively:
cat /proc/mtd
Please confirm if mtd18 and mtd19 are the correct indexes from above!
6. Use the command ubiformat to flash the opposite mtd with UBI image:
If nvram get flag_boot_rootfs returned 0:
ubiformat /dev/mtd19 -y -f /tmp/openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-xiaomi_ax6000-initramfs-factory.ubi && nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=1 && nvram set flag_last_success=1 && nvram commit
otherwise:
ubiformat /dev/mtd18 -y -f /tmp/openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-xiaomi_ax6000-initramfs-factory.ubi && nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=0 && nvram set flag_last_success=0 && nvram commit
7. Reboot the device by:
reboot

Continue in order to pernamently flash OpenWrt:
1. Upload the sysupgrade image to /tmp/ using SCP:
scp -O <path to image> root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
2. Open an SSH shell to 192.168.1.1 from a PC within the same subnet
3. Use sysupgrade to flash the sysupgrade image:
sysupgrade -n -v /tmp/openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-xiaomi_ax6000-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

Device will reboot with OpenWrt, and then sysupgrade can be used to upgrade the device when desired.

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).
