TP-Link Archer C20 v5 is a router with 5-port FE switch and
non-detachable antennas. It's based on MediaTek MT7628N+MT7610EN.
Specification:
- MediaTek MT7628N/N (580 Mhz)
- 64 MB of RAM
- 8 MB of FLASH
- 2T2R 2.4 GHz and 1T1R 5 GHz
- 5x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 3x external, non-detachable antennas
- UART (J1) header on PCB (115200 8n1)
- 7x LED (GPIO-controlled*), 2x button, power input switch
* WAN LED in this devices is a dual-color, dual-leads type which isn't
(fully) supported by gpio-leds driver. This type of LED requires both
GPIOs state change at the same time to select color or turn it off.
For now, we support/use only the green part of the LED.
Create Factory image
--------------------
As all installation methods require a U-Boot to be integrated into the
Image (and we do not ship one with the image) we are not able to create
an image in the OpenWRT build-process.
Download a TP-Link image from their Website and a OpenWRT sysupgrade
image for the device and build yourself a factory image like following:
TP-Link image: tpl.bin
OpenWRT sysupgrade image: owrt.bin
> dd if=tpl.bin of=boot.bin bs=131584 count=1
> cat owrt.bin >> boot.bin
Installing via Web-UI
---------------------
Upload the boot.bin via TP-Links firmware upgrade tool in the
web-interface.
Installing via Recovery
-----------------------
Activate Web-Recovery by beginning the upgrade Process with a
Firmware-Image from TP-Link. After starting the Firmware Upgrade,
wait ~3 seconds (When update status is switching to 0%), then
disconnect the power supply from the device. Upgrade flag (which
activates Web-Recovery) is written before the OS-image is touched and
removed after write is succesfull, so this procedure should be safe.
Plug the power back in. It will come up in Recovery-Mode on 192.168.0.1.
When active, all LEDs but the WPS LED are off.
Remeber to assign yourself a static IP-address as DHCP is not active in
this mode.
The boot.bin can now be uploaded and flashed using the web-recovery.
Installing via TFTP
-------------------
Prepare an image like following (Filenames from factory image steps
apply here)
> dd if=/dev/zero of=tp_recovery.bin bs=196608 count=1
> dd if=tpl.bin of=tmp.bin bs=131584 count=1
> dd if=tmp.bin of=boot.bin bs=512 skip=1
> cat boot.bin >> tp_recovery.bin
> cat owrt.bin >> tp_recovery.bin
Place tp_recovery.bin in root directory of TFTP server and listen on
192.168.0.66/24.
Connect router LAN ports with your computer and power up the router
while pressing the reset button. The router will download the image via
tftp and after ~1 Minute reboot into OpenWRT.
U-Boot CLI
----------
U-Boot CLI can be activated by holding down '4' on bootup.
Dual U-Boot
-----------
This is TP-Link MediaTek device with a split-uboot feature design like
a TP-Link Archer C50 v4. The first (factory-uboot) provides recovery via
TFTP and HTTP, jumping straight into the second (firmware-uboot) if no
recovery needs to be performed. The firmware-uboot unpacks and executed
the kernel.
Web-Recovery
------------
TP-Link integrated a new Web-Recovery like the one on the Archer C7v4 /
TL-WR1043v5 / Archer C50v4. Stock-firmware sets a flag in the "romfile"
partition before beginning to write and removes it afterwards. If the
router boots with this flag set, bootloader will automatically start
Web-recovery and listens on 192.168.0.1. This way, the vendor-firmware
or an OpenWRT factory image can be written.
By doing the same while performing sysupgrade, we can take advantage of
the Web-recovery in OpenWRT.
It is important to note that Web-Recovery is only based on this flag. It
can't detect e.g. a crashing kernel or other means. Once activated it
won't boot the OS before a recovery action (either via TFTP or HTTP) is
performed. This recovery-mode is indicated by an illuminated WPS-LED on
boot.

This harmonizes the line wrapping in image Makefile device
definitions, as those are frequently copy-pasted and are a common
subject of review comments. Having the treatment unifying should
reduce the cases where adjustment is necessary afterwards.
Harmonization is achieved by consistently (read "strictly")
applying certain rules:
- Never put more than 80 characters into one line
- Fill lines up (do not break after 40 chars because of ...)
- Use one tab for indent after wrapping by "\"
- Only break after pipe "|" for IMAGE variables

There are frequent examples of the ralink_default_fw_size_xxx
variables being used to "roughly" set flash size without caring
about the actual size of the firmware partition.
To discourage this behavior, this patch removes the variables and
just sets IMAGE_SIZE by its numeric value for each target.
Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler <freifunk@adrianschmutzler.de>
Currently, ramips target defines 0x7b0000 as default IMAGE_SIZE
for all devices in ramips target, i.e. this will be set if a
device does not specify IMAGE_SIZE itself.
From 92 devices using that default due to a "missing" IMAGE_SIZE,
14 were incorrect by a small amount (i.e. still "8M" flash) and
12 were completely off ("16M", "4M", ...).
This patch thus removes the _default_ IMAGE_SIZE and defines
IMAGE_SIZE for each device individually. This should indicate to
people supporting new devices that this parameter has to be cared
about.
For the present code, this patch is cosmetical.
Signed-off-by: Adrian Schmutzler <freifunk@adrianschmutzler.de>
In ramips, there are the following predefined values for IMAGE_SIZE
ralink_default_fw_size_4M 3866624 3776k 0x3B0000
ralink_default_fw_size_8M 8060928 7872k 0x7B0000
ralink_default_fw_size_16M 16121856 15744k 0xF60000
ralink_default_fw_size_32M 33226752 32448k 0x1FB0000
Out of those, the "16M" value is obviously odd, as it provides more
room for the remaining partitions than the tree others.
Of the devices in all subtargets, there are actually > 50 that have
a firmware partition with 0xFB0000 size, while only 5 (!) have
0xF60000. From the former, many are set to
ralink_default_fw_size_16M anyway, although it is wrong at the
present point.
Consequently, it makes sense to change ralink_default_fw_size_16M
to 0xFB0000, and to update IMAGE_SIZE for the 5 devices with
0xF60000.

1) Download the original FW from the Cudy website.
(For example WR1000_EU_92.122.2.4987.201806261618.bin)
2) Remove the header.

You can use OpenWrt's tools/firmware-utils/src/xorimage.c tool for this:
xorimage -i WR1000..bin.mod -o stock-firmware.bin -x -p 7B767..
Or, you can use this tool (CHANGE THE XOR KEY ACCORDINGLY!):
https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/#recipe=XOR(%7B'option':'Hex','string':''%7D,'',false)
4) Check the resulting decrypted image.
Check if bytes from 0x20 to 0x3f are:

Alternatively, you can use u-boot's tool dumpimage tool to check
if the decryption was successful. It should look like:

to disable it. You'll need to do this !TWICE! because

wait ~3 seconds (When update status is switching to 0%), then
disconnect the power supply from the device. Upgrade flag (which
activates Web-Recovery) is written before the OS-image is touched and
removed after write is succesfull, so this procedure should be safe.
Plug the power back in. It will come up in Recovery-Mode on 192.168.0.1.
When active, all LEDs but the WPS LED are off.
Remeber to assign yourself a static IP-address as DHCP is not active in
this mode.
The boot.bin can now be uploaded and flashed using the web-recovery.
Installing via TFTP
-------------------
Prepare an image like following (Filenames from factory image steps
apply here)
> dd if=/dev/zero of=tp_recovery.bin bs=196608 count=1
> dd if=tpl.bin of=tmp.bin bs=131584 count=1
> dd if=tmp.bin of=boot.bin bs=512 skip=1
> cat boot.bin >> tp_recovery.bin
> cat owrt.bin >> tp_recovery.bin
Place tp_recovery.bin in root directory of TFTP server and listen on
192.168.0.66/24.
Connect router LAN ports with your computer and power up the router
while pressing the reset button. The router will download the image via
tftp and after ~1 Minute reboot into OpenWRT.
U-Boot CLI
----------
U-Boot CLI can be activated by holding down '4' on bootup.
Dual U-Boot
-----------
This is the first TP-Link MediaTek device to feature a split-uboot
design. The first (factory-uboot) provides recovery via TFTP and HTTP,
jumping straight into the second (firmware-uboot) if no recovery needs
to be performed. The firmware-uboot unpacks and executed the kernel.
Web-Recovery
------------
TP-Link integrated a new Web-Recovery like the one on the Archer C7v4 /
TL-WR1043v5. Stock-firmware sets a flag in the "romfile" partition
before beginning to write and removes it afterwards. If the router boots
with this flag set, bootloader will automatically start Web-recovery and
listens on 192.168.0.1. This way, the vendor-firmware or an OpenWRT
factory image can be written.
By doing the same while performing sysupgrade, we can take advantage of
the Web-recovery in OpenWRT.
It is important to note that Web-Recovery is only based on this flag. It
can't detect e.g. a crashing kernel or other means. Once activated it
won't boot the OS before a recovery action (either via TFTP or HTTP) is
performed. This recovery-mode is indicated by an illuminated WPS-LED on
boot.

Move the zip compression into a build recipe. Pad the image using the
existing build recipes as well to remove duplicate functionality
Change the code to append header and footer in two steps. Allow to use a
fixed filename as the netgear update image does.
Use a fixed timestamp within the zip archive to make the images
reproducible.
Due to the changes we are now compatible to the gnu89 c standard used by
default on the buildbots and we don't need to force a more recent
standard anymore.
Beside all changes, the footer still looks wrong in compare to the
netgear update image.

Select the matching mt76 driver for the PCI wireless of the following
devices:
- HiWiFi HC5861B

- Netgear AC1200 R6120
- Buffalo WCR-1166DS
- ZyXEL Keenetic Extra II
- Wavlink WL-WN575A3
Because every device has selected the corresponding mt76 driver, we can

Currently OpenWrt doesn't support switching MT7628 into AP mode
(which is done by writing some undocumented registers in MTK SDK)
Without doing so, enabling SD breaks 4 FE ports and the SD controller
doesn't work since SD pins aren't configured correctly.
Disable SDHC on HC5661A to recover the 4 FE ports.

as indicated in commit c5bf408ed6 "(ramips: fix image generation for mt76x8")
more rework was needed to fix the other issues.
Building on another machine, but using the same arch, showed
the application failing again for different reasons.
Fix this by completely rewriting the application, fixing following found issues:
- buffer overflows, resulting in stack corruption
- flaws in memory requirement calculations (too small, too large)
- memory leaks
- missing bounds checking on string handling
- non-reproducable images, by using unitilized memory in checksum calculation
- missing error handling, resulting in succes on specific image errors
- endianness errors when building on BE machines
- various minor build warnings
- documentation did not match the code actions (header item locations)
- allowing input to be decimal, hex or octal now
