    Thomas Kupper 提交于
    Netgear Nighthawk RAX120v2 AX WIFI router with 5 1G and 1 5G ports.
    
    The majority of the code is based on @jewwest's PR #11830.
    
    Specifications:
        * CPU: Qualcomm IPQ8074 Quad core Cortex-A53 2.2GHz
        * RAM: 1024MB of DDR3 (Nanya NT5CC256M16EP-EK × 2)
        * Flash: SPI-NAND 512 MiB (Winbond W29N04GZBIBA)
        * Ethernet: 4x 10/100/1000 Mbps LAN,
                    1x 10/100/1000 Mbps WAN (Qualcomm QCA8075),
                    1x 10/100/1000/2500/5000 Mbps LAN/WAN (Aquantia AQR111B0 PHY)
        * Wi-Fi:
            * 2.4 GHz: Qualcomm QCN5024 4x4
            * 2x 5 GHz: Qualcomm QCN5054 4x4
        * USB: 2x USB 3.0
        * LEDs: Power, 2.4GHz & 5GHz Radio, WPS, WAN, USB1 & USB2, 5G LAN
        * Keys: LEDs On/Off, Power, Reset, RFKILL, WPS
        * UART: Marked J9003 VCC TX RX GND, beginning from "1". 3.3v, 115200n8
        * Power: 19 VDC, 3.1 A
    
    Installation:
        * Flashing OpenWrt is done in two steps:
            a) Flash *-squashfs-web-ui-factory.img from stock UI (thanks to @wangyu-).
               This writes an initramfs based OpenWrt image onto the RAX120v2
            b) From OpenWrt flash the *-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin using LuCI or the commandline
    
        * U-Boot allows booting an initramfs image via TFTP:
        - Set ip of your PC to 192.168.1.100
            - At the serial console interrupt boot at "Hit any key to stop autoboot:"
            - In u-boot run `tftpsrv`
            - On your PC send the OpenWrt initramfs image:
    
              tftp 192.168.1.1 -m binary -c put openwrt-ipq807x-generic-netgear_rax120v2-initramfs-uImage.itb
    
    Make 5G Aquantia phy work:
        For the 5G port labeled 'lan5' to work a firmware is needed. This can be loaded in
        u-boot by writing the firmware to the correct mtd partition.
    
        The firmware file found in the Netgear stock firmware under /lib/firmware/ named
        'AQR-G3_v4.3.C-AQR_DNI_DR-EQ35AX8-R-prov1_ID23888_VER1311.cld' is needed and has to
        be converted to a MBN file.
    
        The `mkheader.py` script used here can be found in the Netgear V1.2.8.40 GPL source,
        under 'git_home/u-boot.git/tools/mkheader.py'
    
        Convert the CLD file to MBN using:
        $ python2 mkheader.py 0x44000000 0x13 <*.cld file> aqr_4.3.C.mbn
    
        This MBN file can then be flashed to the MTD partition to be used by u-boot.
    
        The necessary files can also be found in
            https://github.com/boretom/openwrt-fork/tree/rax120v2/aquantia-firmware
    
        * Write MBN file to MTD partition to be loaded automatically by u-boot:
    
          U-boot automatically tries to load the firmware from nand at address 0x7e00000 which
          corresponds to `/dev/mtd25` in OpenWrt.
    
            - find ETHPHYFW partition while running OpenWrt (expected: /dev/mtd25)
    
              $ fgrep -i 'ethphyfw' /proc/mtd
              mtd25: 00080000 00020000 "ethphyfw
    
            - copy mbn file to /tmp/ folder of the router
    
              $ scp aqr-v4.3.C.mbn 192.168.1.1:/tmp/
    
            - write mbn file to ethphyfw partition
    
              $ mtd write /tmp/aqr_v4.3.C.mbn /dev/mtd25
    
    Revert to stock firmware:
        * Flash the stock firmware to the bootloader using TFTP/NMRP.
