Ozgur Can Leonard d009033911 ramips: add support for Xiaomi Mi Router 3 Pro
Hardware:

CPU:   MediaTek MT7621AT (2x880MHz)
RAM:   512MB DDR3
FLASH: 256MB NAND
WiFi:  2.4GHz 4x4 MT7615 b/g/n (Needs driver, See Issues!)
WiFI:  5GHz 4x4 MT7615 a/n/ac  (Needs driver, See Issues!)
USB:   1x 3.0
ETH:   1x WAN 10/100/1000 3x LAN 10/100/1000
LED:   Power/Status
BTN:   RESET
UART:  115200 8n1

Partition layout and boot:

Stock Xiaomi firmware has the MTD split into (among others)

- kernel0 (@0x200000)
- kernel1 (@0x600000)
- rootfs0
- rootfs1
- overlay (ubi)

Xiaomi uboot expects to find kernels at 0x200000 & 0x600000
referred to as system 1 & system 2 respectively.
a kernel is considered suitable for handing control over
if its linux magic number exists & uImage CRC are correct.
If either of those conditions fail, a matching sys'n'_fail flag
is set in uboot env & a restart performed in the hope that the
alternate kernel is okay.
If neither kernel checksums ok and both are marked failed, system 2
is booted anyway.

Note uboot's tftp flash install writes the transferred
image to both kernel partitions.

Installation:

Similar to the Xiaomi MIR3G, we keep stock Xiaomi firmware in
kernel0 for ease of recovery, and install OpenWRT into kernel1 and
after.

The installation file for OpenWRT is a *squashfs-factory.bin file that
contains the kernel and a ubi partition. This is flashed as follows:

nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=1
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
dd if=factory.bin bs=1M count=4 | mtd write - kernel1
dd if=factory.bin bs=1M skip=4 | mtd write - rootfs0
reboot

Reverting to stock:

The part of stock firmware we've kept in kernel0 allows us to run stock
recovery, which will re-flash stock firmware from a *.bin file on a USB.

For this we do the following:

fw_setenv flag_try_sys1_failed 0
fw_setenv flag_try_sys2_failed 1
reboot

After reboot the LED status light will blink red, at which point pressing
the 'reset' button will cause stock firmware to be installed from USB.

Issues:

OpenWRT currently does not have support for the MT7615 wifi chips. There is
ongoing work to add mt7615 support to the open source mt76 driver. Until that
support is in place, there are closed-source kernel modules that can be used.

 -----------------------------------------------------

This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution.

To build your own firmware you need a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case
sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack
of a case sensitive file system.

You need gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make, find, grep, diff,
unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers installed.

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 Linux kernel & all
chosen applications for your target system.
