Kristian Skramstad c5b7ec8cee ath79: qca9563: add support for Amplifi Router HD
Hardware:
    SoC: Qualcomm Atheros QCA956X ver 1 rev 0
    CPU clock: 775.000 MHz
    Memory: 128 MB DDR2
    Flash: 32 MB SPI NOR mx25l25635e
    Switch: Atheros AR8327 rev. 4
    Ethernet: 5x 10/100/1000 Mbps (1 WAN + 4 LAN)
    Buttons: 1x Reset
    Serial: TX, RX, GND, VCC
    Baudrate: 115200
    Wifi: Qualcomm Atheros qca988x 802.11ac/n - 3x3
          Qualcomm Atheros AR9561 802.11b/g/n - 3x3

Not working:
    Leds: 1x via a SPI controller
    Display: ST7789V or ILI9341V
    controlled by stm32f205.

Note:
    DSA changes are ready, but we have an issue with
    ports not working after 20-30 minutes. So for now
    we use swconfig.

Installation: serial connection only
There is a J11 four pin connector. You need to connect TX, RX and GND.
You can find very good information about the device here
https://github.com/alexanderhenne/AFi-R?tab=readme-ov-file#finding-j11

Upgrading via serial port:
1.  Download the kernel initramfs image. Copy the image to a TFTP server
2.  Connect to console on the AP, and connect the LAN1 port to your PC LAN
3.  Stop autoboot to get to U-boot shell
    Interrupt the autoboot process by pressing any key when prompted
4.  Transfer the kernel image with TFTP
    Set your ip address on your TFTP server to 192.168.1.254
    # tftpboot 0x81000000 amplifi-router-hd-initramfs-kernel.bin
5.  Load the image
    # bootm 0x81000000
6.  SCP sysupgrade image from your PC to the Amplifi HD
    (If you use a newer mac use scp -O)
    # scp openwrt-ath79-generic-ubnt_amplifi-router-hd-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
7.  Write sysupgrade to the firmware partition
    # mtd write /tmp/openwrt-ath79-generic-ubnt_amplifi-router-hd-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin firmware
8.  Reboot your device
    # reboot

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).
