Tomasz Maciej Nowak 43c7132bf8 ath79: add support for MikroTik RouterBOARD 911 Lite2/Lite5
Forward-port from ar71xx target the board introduced in commit
eb9e3651dd (" ar71xx: add support for the MikroTik RB911-2Hn/5Hn
boards"). Citing:

The patch adds support for the MikroTik RB911-2Hn (911 Lite2)
and the RB911-5Hn (911 Lite5) boards:

  https://mikrotik.com/product/RB911-2Hn
  https://mikrotik.com/product/RB911-5Hn

The two boards are using the same hardware design, the only difference
between the two is the supported wireless band.

Specifications:
  * SoC: Atheros AR9344 (600MHz)
  * RAM: 64MiB
  * Storage: 16 MiB SPI NOR flash
  * Ethernet: 1x100M (Passive PoE in)
  * Wireless: AR9344 built-in wireless MAC, single chain
              802.11b/g/n (911-2Hn) or 802.11a/g/n (911-5Hn)

Notes:
  * Older versions of these boards might be equipped with a NAND
    flash chip instead of the SPI NOR device. Those boards are not
    supported (yet).[1]
  * The MikroTik RB911-5HnD (911 Lite5 Dual) board also uses the
    same hardware. Support for that can be added later with little
    effort probably.[2]

Follow intallation instruction from that commit message, using
openwrt-ath79-mikrotik-mikrotik_routerboard-911-lite-initramfs-kernel.bin
and
openwrt-ath79-mikrotik-mikrotik_routerboard-911-lite-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
images found in ath79/mikrotik directory. Be advised that the board
accepts 10-30 V on PoE input.

Known issues
Compared to ar71xx target image, there is still small leak of current to
user LED, which makes it lit, although weaker, even if brightness is set
to 0. The cause of that is still unknown.

2. RB911-5HnD should work with this commit or with [1], depending on
   what flash topology was used.

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 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).
