Specify firmware partition format by compatible string.
formats in ramips:
- denx,uimage
- tplink,firmware
- seama
It's unlikely but the firmware splitting might not work any longer for
the following boards, due to a custom header:
- EX2700: two uImage headers
- BR-6478AC-V2: edimax-header
- 3G-6200N: edimax-header
- 3G-6200NL: edimax-header
- BR-6475ND: edimax-header
- TEW-638APB-V2: umedia-header
- RT-N56U: mkrtn56uimg
But it rather looks like the uImage splitter is fine with the extra
header.
The following dts are not touched, due to lack of a compatible string in
the matching firmware splitter submodule:
- CONFIG_MTD_SPLIT_JIMAGE_FW
DWR-116-A1.dts
DWR-118-A2.dts
DWR-512-B.dts
DWR-921-C1.dts
LR-25G001.dts
- CONFIG_MTD_SPLIT_TRX_FW
WCR-1166DS.dts
WSR-1166.dts
- CONFIG_MTD_SPLIT_MINOR_FW
RBM11G.dts
RBM33G.dts
- CONFIG_MTD_SPLIT_LZMA_FW
AR670W.dts
- CONFIG_MTD_SPLIT_WRGG_FW
DAP-1522-A1.dts

Starting with kernel 4.4, the use of partitions as direct subnodes of the
mtd device is discouraged and only supported for backward compatiblity
reasons.

The WMDR-143N is a small module originally used as a Wifi client
in some Loewe smart TV sets. It is sold cheaply at german surplus
shops. The module contains a RT3662 SOC.
Specifications:
- 500 MHz CPU Clock
- 1x 10/100Mbps Ethernet (pin header)
- 32 MB of RAM
- 8 MB of FLASH
- 2T3R 2.4/5 GHz (SOC internal)
- 3 Antennas on PCB
- UART pads on PCB (J3: 1 = +3.3V, 2 = RX, 3 = TX, 4 = GND), TX
and RX are 3,3V only! The square hole is pin 1
- Power supply pads on PCB (J6: 1 and 2 = +5V, 3 and 4 = GND)
The square hole is pin 1
The original firmware has two identical kernel/rootfs images and
two "Factory" calibration data blocks in flash. The LEDE image
leaves only the first "Factory" block in place and uses both
"Kernel" blocks and the redundant "Factory" block together to gain
enough space for the jffs2 partition.
Flash instructions:
You need UART and Ethernet connections to flash the board. Use
the LEDE "sysupgrade.bin" image with tftp.
Apply power to the board and in the first 5 seconds, hit 2 to
select TFTP upload. The bootloader asks for board- and server IP
addresses and filename.
Alternate method: With the vendor firmware running, assign an IP
address to the ethernet port, tftp the firmware image to
/tmp and write to mtd4 ("KernelA").
