Dell/SonicWall APL26-0AE (marketed as SonicPoint ACe) is a dual band wireless access point. End of life as of 2022-07-31. Specification SoC: QualcommAtheros QCA9550 RAM: 256 MB DDR2 Flash: 32 MB SPI NOR WIFI: 2.4 GHz 3T3R integrated 5 GHz 3T3R QCA9890 oversized Mini PCIe card Ethernet: 2x 10/100/1000 Mbps QCA8334 port labeled lan1 is PoE capable (802.3at) USB: 1x 2.0 LEDs: LEDs: 6x which 5 are GPIO controlled and two of them are dual color Buttons: 2x GPIO controlled Serial: RJ-45 port, SonicWall pinout baud: 115200, parity: none, flow control: none Before flashing, be sure to have a copy of factory firmware, in case You wish to revert to original firmware. All described procedures were done in following environment: ROM Version: SonicROM (U-Boot) 8.0.0.0-11o SafeMode Firmware Version: SonicOS 8.0.0.0-14o Firmware Version: SonicOS 9.0.1.0 In case of other versions, following installation instructions might be ineffective. Installation 1. Prepare TFTP server with OpenWrt sysupgrade image and rename that image to "sp_fw.bin". 2. Connect to one of LAN ports. 3. Connect to serial port. 4. Hold the reset button (small through hole on side of the unit), power on the device and when prompted to stop autoboot, hit any key. The held button can now be released. 5. Alter U-Boot environment with following commands: setenv bootcmd bootm 0x9F110000 saveenv 6. Adjust "ipaddr" (access point, default is 192.168.1.1) and "serverip" (TFTP server, default is 192.168.1.10) addresses in U-Boot environment, then run following commands: tftp 0x80060000 sp_fw.bin erase 0x9F110000 +0x1EF0000 cp.b 0x80060000 0x9F110000 $filesize 7. After successful flashing, execute: boot 8. The access point will boot to OpenWrt. Wait few minutes, until the wrench LED will stop blinking, then it's ready for configuration. Known issues Initramfs image can't be bigger than specified kernel size, otherwise bootloader will throw LZMA decompressing error. Switching to lzma-loader should workaround that. This device has Winbond 25Q256FVFG and doesn't have reliable reset, which causes hang on reboot, thus broken-flash-reset needs to be added. This property addition causes dispaly of "scary" warning on each boot, take this warnig into consideration. Signed-off-by: Tomasz Maciej Nowak <tmn505@gmail.com> |
