5. Serve openwrt-mediatek-filogic-cudy_wbr3000uax-v1-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb
using TFTP server.
6. Connect Router LAN with PC LAN.
7. Cut off the power and re-engage, wait for TFTP recovery to complete.
8. After OpenWrt initramfs recovery has booted,
clean `/dev/mtd5` ubi partition to utilize maximum of free space & create ubootenvs:
```bash
ubidetach -p /dev/mtd5; ubiformat /dev/mtd5 -y; ubiattach -p /dev/mtd5
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 0 -N ubootenv -s 128KiB
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 1 -N ubootenv2 -s 128KiB
```
4. Perform sysupgrade.
Based on a factory layout with only 64mb partition for easier transition from factory to OpenWrt for users if the "intermediate" RSA signed firmware will be provided by Cudy.
**Installation**
The installation must be done via UART & TFTP by disassembling the router. On other occasions Cudy has distributed intermediate firmware and dts to make installation easier, but since this router is OEM special WB order for local RU market there is a possibility they will not provide it.
**Install using UART & TFTP**
1. Connect to UART.
2. Since the factory BL is locked and the boot process can not be stopped, you have to use mtkuartboot, hold reset, engage the power, boot into your payloaded bl2 & fip.
3. Connect to LAN and set your IP to 192.168.1.254.

ipq40xx: add support for Cisco Meraki MR20
This commit adds support for the Cisco Meraki MR20/Go GR10.
The Meraki MR20 is a Cisco 802.11ac/WiFi 5 AP with 1 Ethernet port.
It can be powered by a 12V DC barrel jack (5.5x2.5mm, center positive)
or via 802.3af POE.
The Meraki Go GR10 (codename: Maggot) is identical to the MR20
(codename: Grub), so this document will refer to both devices as the MR20.
This device ships with secure boot, and cannot be flashed without
external programmers (TSOP48 NAND and I2C EEEPROM)!
Disassembly:
Remove the four rubber feet on the rear of the AP and the four
Torx T8 screws under the feet.
Using a guitar pick or similar plastic tool, insert it on the side
along the seam around the edge. Push in gently while gently lifting
the front of the housing to release the plastic retention clips.
There are 15 clips in total.
Once you have removed the plastic front (shown above already removed
so you know where the clips are), remove the 4 Philips screws holding
down the two metal WiFi antennas.
Lift the PCB gently while pushing the Ethernet port into the housing
to release it. The PCB should come free from the metal heat spreader.
The TSOP48 NAND flash (U9, Macronix/MXIC MX30LF1G18AC) is located on
the opposite side of the PCB.
To flash, you need to desolder the TSOP48 or use a 360 clip.
You also need to reprogram the I2C EEPROM (U20, Atmel 24c64).
Installation:
The dumps to flash can be found in this repository:
https://github.com/halmartin/meraki-openwrt-docs/tree/main/mr20_gr10
The device has the following flash layout (offsets with OOB data):

`0xc60000`-`0x8400000` (length `0x77a0000`). Offsets here include OOB data.
* Dump your original EEPROM. Change the byte at offset `0x49` to `0x1e`
(originally `0x2c` or `0x25`). Remember to re-write the EEPROM with the
modified data.
* This can be done on Linux via the following command:
`printf "\x1e" | dd of=/tmp/eeprom.bin bs=1 seek=$((0x49)) conv=notrunc`
**Note**: the device will not boot if you modify the board major number and
have not yet overwritten the `ubi` and `u-boot` regions of NAND.
* Resolder the NAND after overwriting the `u-boot` and `ubi` regions.
OpenWrt Installation:
* After flashing NAND and EEPROM with external programmers. Plug in an
Ethernet cable and power up the device.

The SerDes mode setting at the end of rtpcs_931x_setup_serdes is
currently broken although it is mostly similar to what the SDK does [1].
It prevents several modes from being set, especially fiber modes. This
seems to be one (if not the only) issue for currently missing SFP
support.
Add a small helper function which takes cares of setting the mode, to
keep the still valid different procedure when using XSGMII mode. Only
this helper is called in rtpcs_931x_setup_serdes to keep it clean there.
As a functional change, call mode application in every case, not just
for SGMII, QSGMII and USXGMII. We can assume the SDK is misleading in
this case, either accidentially or on purpose. This makes SFP modules
work in theory. In practice, there still seem to be device-specific
issues which need to be fixed later. These issues may include no link
detection or link flapping.
The SDK and our code for finally applying the hardware mode are quite
confusing. There are two different "places" where a mode can be set,
in a SerDes register and in a global SerDes mode register. Neither the
SDK nor any of the datasheet/documentation serve any explanation for
that. The functions are just named "fiber_mode_set" and "mii_mode_set"
which is basically as useless as it can be to understand it.
Try to get rid off this confusion by naming the functions
'sds_set_mac_mode' and 'sds_set_ip_mode' to make clear where the mode
is set. While at it, also clarify the naming of 'config_mode' by
renaming it to 'config_hw_mode'.
The naming is based on the following assumption:
> Realtek uses an SerDes IP core design (probably from another vendor)
> in their switch. This supports a variety of modes and must be
> configured properly for each mode. Usually, changing the mode in the
> MAC's registers triggers a proper configuration of the SerDes IP block
> in the background.
> However, for some modes this seems to be incomplete, at least missing
> important parts so it doesn't work on its own in the end. In this
> case, the SerDes IP block needs to be configured manually with the
> missing bits to make it work.
There are several places in the SDK that support this assumption, both
for RTL931X and RTL930X (as they are somewhat similar), e.g. [1].
Improve the current mode setting functions to address a few issues:
- add missing mode from SDK reference (instead of using the
corresponding value as a default value)
- use and return error values
- give internal variable a more meaningful name
- consistently use lowercase letters in hex values

The device uses Qualcomm's bootconfig structure to control A/B partition
switching. The bootloader dynamically maps physical NAND partitions to
logical MTD devices based on the bootconfig, ensuring firmware always
writes to the inactive partition.
Implementation details:
- Use bootconfig.sh library (copied from ipq50xx) for bootconfig operations
- Operate on 'rootfs' partition by name instead of hardcoded offset
- Add magic header validation for safety
- Remove OEM UBI volumes (wifi_fw and ubi_rootfs) before sysupgrade
- Toggle bootconfig before removing OEM volumes
Hardware details:
- SoC: Qualcomm IPQ6000
- Flash: NAND with dual rootfs partitions (mtd16/mtd17)
- Bootconfig: controls slot selection via partition name lookup
Installation:
Standard sysupgrade process. After upgrade, the system will boot
from the new partition while preserving the old system as backup.
The OEM volume cleanup is necessary because these volumes are created
by the stock firmware and are not automatically cleaned by the standard
nand_upgrade_prepare_ubi() function, which only removes volumes named
'kernel', 'rootfs', and 'rootfs_data'. Without this cleanup, the remaining
OEM volumes consume available space, causing the creation of rootfs_data
to fail during sysupgrade.

firmware (default login: root, password: admin):
flash_erase /dev/mtd19 0 0
nandwrite -p /dev/mtd19 openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx6200-squashfs-factory.ubi
reboot
Continue with step 5.
3. Installation using serial connection from initramfs
setup tftp server listening on IP in 192.168.1.0/24 (other than the
router IP 192.168.1.1). In U-boot, load the initramfs image to memory:
tftp $loadaddr <your IP>:openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx6200-initramfs-uImage.itb
boot the image using command:
bootm $loadaddr
when fully booted, scp the sysupgrade image to your router IP (default:
192.168.1.1):
scp -O <path>/openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx6200-squashfs-sysypgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/
use sysupgrade to flash the image to nand:
sysupgrade -n -v /tmp/openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx6200-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Continue with step 5.
4. Optionally install on alternate partition. From Openwrt:
mtd -r -e rootfs_1 -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx6200-squashfs-factory.ubi rootfs_1
Continue with step 5.
5. Setup U-boot for ability to dual boot signed (stock) and non-signed
(Openwrt) images with auto-detection.
From U-boot, run (be aware: copy line by line):
setenv setnandbootargs 'setenv bootargs init=/sbin/init ubi.mtd=rootfs rootfstype=squashfs rootwait'
setenv nandinitcmd 'setenv mtdids nand0=nand0; run setrootfscmd; ubi part rootfs 2048'
setenv setrootfscmd 'if test $boot_part = 1; then setenv mtdparts mtdparts=nand0:0x${imgsize}@0x${prikern}(rootfs); else setenv mtdparts mtdparts=nand0:0x${imgsize}@0x${altkern}(rootfs); fi'
setenv readhdr1cmd 'ubi read $loadaddr kernel 0x40; setexpr IMGOFF $loadaddr + 0x10; setexpr CODEOFF $loadaddr + 0x14; setexpr SIGOFF $loadaddr + 0x1c; setexpr CERTOFF $loadaddr + 0x24'
setenv readhdr2cmd 'setexpr.l HDR *$loadaddr; setexpr.l IMGSZ *$IMGOFF; setexpr.l CODESZ *$CODEOFF; setexpr.l SIGSZ *$SIGOFF; setexpr.l CERTSZ *$CERTOFF; setexpr TSIZE $CODESZ + $SIGSZ; setexpr TSIZE $TSIZE + $CERTSZ'
setenv testmbncmd 'if test $HDR -ne edfe0dd0 -a $IMGSZ -eq $TSIZE; then bootipq; else ubi read $loadaddr kernel $kernsize; run setnandbootargs; bootm $loadaddr; fi'
setenv bootcmd2 'if test $auto_recovery = no; then bootipq; else run nandinitcmd; run readhdr1cmd; run readhdr2cmd; run testmbncmd; fi'
setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd2'
saveenv
6. Back to the OEM firmware.
Download firmware from OEM website:
MX6200: https://support.linksys.com/kb/article/408-en/
From serial/SSH, in Openwrt, flash OEM firmware to alternate partition:
mtd -r -e rootfs_1 -n write FW_MX6200_1.0.11.216041_prod.signed.img rootfs_1
Switching active partition:
1. From U-boot, executive the following to switch to partition 1:
setenv boot_part 1
for partition 2:
setenv boot_part 2
2. From Openwrt:
fw_printenv boot_part
In case it's 1:
fw_setenv boot_part 2
. /lib/upgrade/platform.sh
linksys_bootconfig_set_primaryboot "0:bootconfig" 1
linksys_bootconfig_set_primaryboot "0:bootconfig1" 1
In case it's 2:
fw_setenv boot_part 1
. /lib/upgrade/platform.sh
linksys_bootconfig_set_primaryboot "0:bootconfig" 0
linksys_bootconfig_set_primaryboot "0:bootconfig1" 0
and
reboot
Add support for upgrades on dual firmware Linksys devices with the
partition table stored in SMEM and that store both the kernel and rootfs
in a single partition. Switching the active boot partition requires
updating the partition info table in SMEM in addition to setting
the active boot partition in a U-boot variable as U-boot will keep them
in sync upon reboot if they're not.
U-boot always sets the name of the active partition to rootfs and that
of the inactive partition to rootfs_1 in SMEM. when Linux loads the
partition table from SMEM it will load the right partition based on the
offset set in the SMEM partition table. For upgrades, flashing to the
alternate partition will always be to rootfs_1, while flashing the
current partition will be on rootfs.
qualcommax: ipq50xx: functions for bootconfig partition
The BOOTCONFIG partition is used by Qualcomm's boot chain to store
metadata about the device's startup configuration. It contains info such
as versioning, configuration flags, primary boot partition, and more.
Newer devices with dual boot partitions not only store the active boot
partition in a U-boot variable but also in partition info in the
BOOTCONFIG partition. As such, add library functions to set and toggle
the active boot partition.
qualcommax: ipq50xx: move bootargs to Linksys board files
Move setting kernel bootargs from the base template down to the
respective Linksys board files. This allows for having devices which
require different bootargs use the base template device tree file.
qualcommax: ipq50xx: load Linksys partition tables from SMEM
The partition table on Linksys devices with a Qualcomm AX IPQ SoC is
stored in SMEM. As such, load partition table from SMEM rather than
statically defining them in their respective device trees. This helps
generalize the base template and requires less maintenance.
qualcommax: ipq50xx: remove ipq5018 and qcn6122 wifi m3 fw
The current ath11k driver does not support loading m3 firmware for
IPQ5018 and QCN6122 wifi. Although m3 firmware entries are specified
in Q6 WCSS nodes, the driver actually skips loading them. Editing the
driver to force loading m3 results in Q6 crashes and non-functioning
wifi. As such, remove m3 firmware entries for all boards until there's
proper support in the ath11k driver.

toolchain: fix libgcc ABI for libc
libc depends on knowing libgcc's ABI, so it needs to be evaluated first.
Otherwise libc will depend on an ABI-less libgcc causing the rest of the
