Priit Laes 66d2d037ad ath79: add support for COMFAST CF-E355AC v2
COMFAST CF-E355AC v2 is a ceiling mount AP with PoE support,
based on Qualcomm/Atheros QCA9531 + QCA9886.

Short specification:

- 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, with PoE support (wan/eth1)
- 1x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, with PoE support (lan/eth0)
- 128MB of RAM (DDR2)
- 16 MB of FLASH
- 2T2R 2.4 GHz, 802.11b/g/n (wlan2g)
- 2T2R 5 GHz, 802.11ac/n/a, WAVE 2 (wlan5g)
- built-in 4x 3 dBi antennas
- output power (max): 500 mW (27 dBm)
- 1x RGB LED, 1x button
- separate watchdog chip via GPIO (bottom of PCB?)
- UART header on PCB with proper labelling

Markings on PCB:

* R121QH_VER2.1 (silkscreen, bottom)
* CF-WA800 (sticker, top)

Initial flashing instructions:

Original firmware is based on OpenWrt.

a) Use sysupgrade image directly in vendor GUI.

b) Or via tftp:

  ipaddr=192.168.1.1
  serverip=192.168.1.10
  bootfile="firmware.bin"

c) Or possibly via u-boot's `httpd` command.

MAC-address mapping follows original firmware:

* eth1 (wan) is the lowest mac address (art @ 0x0)
* eth0 (lan) uses eth1 + 1 (art @ 0x1002)
* wlan2g (phy1) uses eth1 + 2 (art @ 0x06)
* wlan5g (phy0) uses eth1 + 10 (not present in art)
* unused MAC (eth1 + 3) (art @ 0x5006)

Art dump (`hexdump /dev/mtd1 |grep ZZZZ`):

  0000000 ZZZZ XXXX XXX0 ZZZZ XXXX XXX2 ffff ffff
  0001000 0202 ZZZZ XXXX XXX1 0000 0000 0000 0000
  0005000 202f bd21 0101 ZZZZ XXXX XXX3 0000 2000

Root access to original firmware (only via UART) can be achieved by
making a backup of configuration from web interface. Backup contains
whole `/etc` directory...

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 macOS 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 python3.7+ 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).
