Michael Pratt a459696eb1 ramips: add support for Senao Engenius ESR600H
FCC ID: A8J-ESR750H

Engenius ESR600H is an indoor wireless router with a gigabit switch,
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless, internal and external antennas, and a USB port.

**Specification:**

  - RT3662F			MIPS SOC, 5 GHz WMAC (2x2)
  - RT5392L			PCI on-board, 2.4 GHz (2x2)
  - AR8327			RGMII, 7-port GbE, 25 MHz clock
  - 40 MHz reference clock
  - 8 MB FLASH			25L6406EM2I-12G
  - 64 MB RAM
  - UART at J12			(unpopulated)
  - 2 internal antennas		(5 GHz)
  - 2 external antennas		(2.4 GHz)
  - 9 LEDs, 1 button		(power, wps, wifi2g, wifi5g, 5 LAN/WAN)
  - USB 2 port			(GPIO controlled power)

**MAC addresses:**

  MAC Addresses are labeled as WAN and WLAN
  U-boot environment has the the vendor MAC address for ethernet
  MAC addresses in "factory" are part of wifi calibration data

  eth0.2	WAN	*:13:e7		u-boot-env wanaddr
  eth0.1	----	*:13:e8		u-boot-env wanaddr + 1
  phy0		WLAN	*:14:b8		factory 0x8004
  phy1		----	*:14:bc		factory 0x4

**Installation:**

  Method 1: Firmware upgrade page

  OEM webpage at 192.168.0.1
  username and password "admin"
  Navigate to Network Setting --> Tools --> Firmware
  Click Browse and select the factory.dlf image
  Click Continue to confirm and wait 6 minutes or more...

  Method 2: Serial console to load TFTP image:

  (see TFTP recovery)

**Return to OEM:**

  Unlike most Engenius boards, this does not have a 'failsafe' image
  the only way to return to OEM is serial access to uboot

  Unlike most Engenius boards, public images are not available...
  so the only way to return to OEM is to have a copy
  of the MTD partition "firmware" BEFORE flashing openwrt.

**TFTP recovery:**

  Unlike most Engenius boards, TFTP is reliable here
  however it requires serial console access
  (soldering pins to the UART pinouts)

  build your own image...
  with 'ramdisk' selected under 'Target Images'

  rename initramfs-kernel.bin to 'uImageESR-600H'
  make the file available on a TFTP server at 192.168.99.8
  interrupt boot by holding or pressing '4' in serial console
  as soon as board is powered on

  `tftpboot 0x81000000`
  `bootm 0x81000000`
  perform a sysupgrade

**Format of OEM firmware image:**

  This Engenius board uses the Senao proprietary header
  with a unique Product ID. The header for factory.bin is
  generated by the mksenaofw program included in openwrt.

  .dlf file extension is also required for OEM software to accept it

**Note on using OKLI:**

  the kernel is now too large for the bootloader to handle
  so OKLI is used via the `kernel-loader` image command
  recently in master several other ramips boards have the same problem

  'Kernel panic - not syncing: Failed to find ralink,rt3883-sysc node'

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.

gcc binutils bzip2 flex python3 perl make find grep diff unzip gawk getopt
subversion libz-dev libc-dev rsync

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.

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.
