Russell Senior 12eb5b2384 ath79: add support for Ubiquiti PowerBeam M (XW) 
This patch adds support for the Ubiquiti PowerBeam M (XW), e.g. PBE-M5-400,
a 802.11n wireless with a feed+dish form factor. This device was previously
supported by the ar71xx loco-m-xw firmware.

Specifications:
 - Atheros AR9342 SoC
 - 64 MB RAM
 - 8 MB SPI flash
 - 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port, 24 Vdc PoE-in
 - Power and LAN green LEDs
 - 4x RSSI LEDs (red, orange, green, green)
 - UART (115200 8N1)

Flashing via stock GUI:
 - Downgrade to AirOS v5.5.x (latest available is 5.5.10-u2) first (see
   https://openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/powerbeam installation instructions)
 - Upload the factory image via AirOS web GUI.

Flashing via TFTP:
 - Use a pointy tool (e.g., unbent paperclip) to keep the
   reset button pressed.
 - Power on the device (keep reset button pressed).
 - Keep pressing until LEDs flash alternatively LED1+LED3 =>
   LED2+LED4 => LED1+LED3, etc.
 - Release reset button.
 - The device starts a TFTP server at 192.168.1.20.
 - Set a static IP on the computer (e.g., 192.168.1.21/24).
 - Upload via tftp the factory image:
    $ tftp 192.168.1.20
    tftp> bin
    tftp> trace
    tftp> put openwrt-ath79-generic-xxxxx-ubnt_powerbeam-m-xw-squashfs-factory.bin

WARNING: so far, no non-destructive method has been discovered for
opening the enclosure to reach the serial console. Internal photos
are available here: https://fcc.io/SWX-NBM5HP

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!

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.

Related Repositories

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.
