Sven Wegener f54d4ea0bb ramips: add support for Ubiquiti UniFi FlexHD
Hardware
--------

- SoC: MediaTek MT7621AT with 128 MiB RAM and 32 MiB Flash
- Wi-Fi: MediaTek MT7603 (b/g/n, 2x2) and MediaTek MT7615 (ac, 4x4)
- Bluetooth: CSR8811 (internal USB, install kmod-bluetooth)

Installation
------------

1. Connect to the booted device at 192.168.1.20 using username/password
   "ubnt".

2. Update the bootloader environment.

   $ fw_setenv devmode TRUE
   $ fw_setenv boot_openwrt "fdt addr \$(fdtcontroladdr);
     fdt rm /signature; bootubnt"
   $ fw_setenv bootcmd "run boot_openwrt"

3. Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the device using SCP.

4. Check the mtd partition number for bs / kernel0 / kernel1

   $ cat /proc/mtd

5. Set the bootselect flag to boot from kernel0

   $ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=1 of=/dev/mtdblock4

6. Write the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to both kernel0 as well as kernel1

   $ dd if=openwrt.bin of=/dev/mtdblock6
   $ dd if=openwrt.bin of=/dev/mtdblock7

7. Reboot the device. It should boot into OpenWrt.

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).
