Pawel Dembicki a91ab8bc05 ipq40xx: add support for ZTE MF286D
ZTE MF286D is a LTE router with four gigabit ethernet ports
and integrated QMI mPCIE modem.

Hardware specification:

  - CPU: IPQ4019
  - RAM: 256MB
  - Flash: NAND 128MB + NOR 2MB
  - WLAN1:  Qualcomm Atheros QCA4019 2.4GHz 802.11bgn 2x2:2
  - WLAN2:  Qualcomm Atheros QCA4019 5GHz 802.11anac 2x2:2
  - LTE: mPCIe cat 12 card (Modem chipset MDM9250)
  - LAN: 4 Gigabit Ports
  - USB: 1x USB2.0 (regular port). 1x USB3.0 (mpcie - used by the modem)
  - Serial console: X8 connector 115200 8n1

Known issues:

  - Many LEDs are driven by the modem. Only internal LEDs and wifi LEDs
    are driven by cpu.
  - Wifi LED is triggered by phy0tpt only
  - No VoIP support
  - LAN1/WAN port is configured as WAN
  - ZTE gives only one MAC per device. Use +1/+2/+3 increment for WAN
    and WLAN0/1

Opening the case:

1. Take of battery lid (no battery support for this model, battery cage
   is dummy).
2. Unscrew screw placed behind battery lid.
3. Take off back cover. It attached with multiple plastic clamps.
4. Unscrew four more screws hidden behind back case.
5. Remove front panel from blue chassis. There are more plastic
   clamps.
6. Unscrew two boards, which secures the PCB in the chassis.
7. Extract board from blue chassis.

Console connection (X8 connector):

1. Parameters: 115200 8N1
2. Pin description: (from closest pin to X8 descriptor to farthest)
    - VCC (3.3V)
    - TX
    - RX
    - GND

Install Instructions:

Serial + initramfs:
1. Place OpenWrt initramfs image for the device on a TFTP in
   the server's root. This example uses Server IP: 192.168.1.3
2. Connect serial console (115200,8n1) to X8 connector.
3. Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port.
4. Stop in u-Boot and run u-Boot commands:
	setenv serverip 192.168.1.3
	setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.72
	set fdt_high 0x85000000
	tftp openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-zte_mf286d-initramfs-fit-zImage.itb
	bootm $loadaddr
5. Please make backup of original partitions, if you think about revert
   to stock.
6. Login via ssh or serial and remove stock partitions:
	ubiattach -m 9
	ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs
	ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs_data
7. Install image via "sysupgrade -n".

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!

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).
