Marcel Ziswiler f6d2a23cbc mediatek: add support for Netgear WAX206
Specifications:
* SoC: MediaTek MT7622BV
* RAM: DDR3 512 MiB (Nanya NT5CC256M16ER-EK)
* Flash: SPI-NAND 256 MiB (Toshiba TC58CVG1S3HRAIJ)
* Wi-Fi 2.4/5 GHz 4T4R:
  * 2.4 GHz: MediaTek MT7622BV
  * 5 GHz: MediaTek MT7915AN/MT7975AN
* Ethernet: 4x 10/100/1000 Mbps LAN,
            1x 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps WAN (Realtek RTL8221B PHY)
* Switch: MediaTek MT7531AE
* LEDs/Keys: 8/1 (Power, Internet, LAN1, LAN2, LAN3, LAN4,
             Wifin and Wifia dual-colour LEDs + Reset pin)
* UART: Marked J19 on board VCC GND TX RX, beginning from "1". 3.3v,
        115200n8
* Power: 12 VDC, 2.5 A

Installation:
* Flash the factory image through the stock web interface, or TFTP to
  the bootloader. NMRP can be used to TFTP without opening the case.
* U-Boot allows booting an initramfs image via TFTP as follows:
  setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
  setenv serverip 192.168.1.100
  tftpboot openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-netgear_wax206-initramfs-recovery.itb
  bootm

Known Limitations:
* The 2.5G WAN port labeled 'wan' only works for speeds up to 1G at the
  moment. If connected to a multi-gig port the speed has to be manually
  set to 1G/full either for the switch port or in OpenWrt. For example
  add the following to /etc/rc.local to set it on boot:
  /usr/sbin/ethtool -s wan speed 1000 duplex full

Revert to stock firmware:
* Flash the stock firmware to the bootloader using TFTP/NMRP.

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).
