Xavier Franquet 782eb05008 mediatek: filogic: add support ASUS RT-AX59U
(based on support for ASUS RT-AX59U by liushiyou006)

SOC: MediaTek MT7986
RAM: 512MB DDR4
FLASH: 128MB SPI-NAND (Winbond W25N01GV)
WIFI: Mediatek MT7986 DBDC 802.11ax 2.4/5 GHz
ETH: MediaTek MT7531 Switch
UART: 3V3 115200 8N1 (Pinout silkscreened / Do not connect VCC)

Upgrade from AsusWRT to OpenWRT using UART

    Download the OpenWrt initramfs image.
    Copy the image to a TFTP server reachable at 192.168.1.70/24. Rename the image to rtax59u.bin.

    Connect the PC with TFTP server to the RT-AX59U.
    Set a static ip on the ethernet interface of your PC.
    (ip address: 192.168.1.70, subnet mask:255.255.255.0)
    Conect to the serial console, interrupt the autoboot process by pressing '4' when prompted.

    Download & Boot the OpenWrt initramfs image.

    $ setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
    $ setenv serverip 192.168.1.70
    $ tftpboot 0x46000000 rtax59u.bin
    $ bootm 0x46000000

    Wait for OpenWrt to boot. Transfer the sysupgrade image to the device using scp and install using sysupgrade.

    $ sysupgrade -n <path-to-sysupgrade.bin>

Upgrade from AsusWRT to OpenWRT using WebUI

    Download transit TRX file from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1A20QdjK7Udagu31FSszpWAk8-cGlCwsq

    Upgrade firmware from WebUI (192.168.50.1) using downloaded TRX file

    Wait for OpenWRT to boot (192.168.1.1).

    Upgrade system with sysupgrade image using luci or uploading it through scp and executing sysupgrade command

MAC Address for WLAN 5g is not following the same algorithm as in AsusWRT.
We have increased by one the WLAN 5g to avoid collisions with other networks from WLAN 2g
when bit 28 is already set.

              : Stock             : OpenWrt

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 python3.7+ 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).
