ramips: mt7621: add support for TP-Link ER605 v1
This commit adds support for TP-Link ER605 v1. Like its successor the
ER605 v2, the MAC address can only be found in the tddp partition.
Hardware specifications:
- CPU: MediaTek MT7621DAT (880 MHz, 2 cores)
- CPU type: MIPS 1004Kc
- Flash: 16 MiB (GigaDevice GD25Q127CSIG)
- RAM: 128 MiB
- LAN speed: 1GbE
- LAN ports: 4
- WAN speed: 1GbE
- WAN ports: 1
- Serial: 4-pin header, unpopulated, 3.3V TTL, (115200 8N1)
- Power: 9 VDC, 0.85 A
- LEDs: Power (Green), System (Green)
- Button: RESET
Factory firmware (v1.2.0 Build
20220114 Rel.76871):

MAC addresses:
- label/LAN = 'option macaddr' from factory tddp partition
- WAN = label MAC + 1
Installation:
Split initramfs into 2 parts for writing to the kernel and rootfs
partitions on live device, leave http server up for sysupgrade.
dd if=initramfs-kernel.bin of=kernel-part.bin bs=64k count=24
dd if=initramfs-kernel.bin of=rootfs-part.bin bs=64k skip=24
md5sum kernel-part.bin rootfs-part.bin
python3 -m http.server -d . 8080
Downgrade to TP-Link firmware v1.3.1 or less if running v1.3.2.
From the web UI, open "System Tools" and select "Diagnostics".
Enable "Remote Assistance" and login as root.
tplink_label_mac=01:23:45:67:89:AB
tplink_username=admin
echo -n "$tplink_label_mac$tplink_username" | md5sum | cut -c1-16
ssh \
-o "KexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" \
-o "HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa" \
root@192.168.0.1
Download partial initramfs binaries to /tmp and verify checksums match.
cd /tmp
wget http://192.168.0.20:8080/kernel-part.bin
wget http://192.168.0.20:8080/rootfs-part.bin
md5sum kernel-part.bin rootfs-part.bin
Write partial initramfs binaries to kernel and rootfs.
mtd -e kernel write kernel-part.bin kernel
mtd -r -e rootfs write rootfs-part.bin rootfs
Login to OpenWrt initramfs as root.
ssh root@192.168.1.1
Erase firmware partition and perform sysupgrade.
mtd erase firmware
sysupgrade -n -p http://192.168.1.111:8080/squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
