ath79: add support for ALLNET ALL-WAP02860AC
ALLNET ALL-WAP02860AC is a dual-band wireless access point. Specification SoC: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9558 RAM: 128 MB DDR2 Flash: 16 MB SPI NOR WIFI: 2.4 GHz 3T3R integrated 5 GHz 3T3R QCA9880 Mini PCIe card Ethernet: 1x 10/100/1000 Mbps AR8035-A, PoE capable (802.3at) LEDS: 5x, which four are GPIO controlled Buttons: 1x GPIO controlled UART: 4 pin header near Mini PCIe card, starting count from white triangle on PCB 1. VCC 3.3V, 2. GND, 3. TX, 4. RX baud: 115200, parity: none, flow control: none MAC addresses Calibration data does not contain valid MAC addresses. The calculated MAC addresses are chosen in accordance with OEM firmware. Because of: a) constrained environment (SNMP) when connecting through Telnet or SSH, b) hard-coded kernel and rootfs sizes, c) checksum verification of kerenel and rootfs images in bootloder, creating factory image accepted by OEM web interface is difficult, therefore, to install OpenWrt on this device UART connection is needed. The teardown is simple, unscrew four screws to disassemble the casing, plus two screws to separate mainboard from the casing. Before flashing, be sure to have a copy of factory firmware, in case You wish to revert to original firmware. Installation 1. Prepare TFTP server with OpenWrt initramfs-kernel image. 2. Connect to LAN port. 3. Connect to UART port. 4. Power on the device and when prompted to stop autoboot, hit any key. 5. Alter U-Boot environment with following commands: setenv failsafe_boot bootm 0x9f0a0000 saveenv 6. Adjust "ipaddr" and "serverip" addresses in U-Boot environment, use 'setenv' to do that, then run following commands: tftpboot 0x81000000 <openwrt_initramfs-kernel_image_name> bootm 0x81000000 7. Wait about 1 minute for OpenWrt to boot. 8. Transfer OpenWrt sysupgrade image to /tmp directory and flash it with: sysupgrade -n /tmp/<openwrt_sysupgrade_image_name> 9. After flashing, the access point will reboot to OpenWrt. Wait few minutes, until the Power LED stops blinking, then it's ready for configuration.
