Sergey Ryazanov 7e89421a7c ramips: add support for Zbtlink ZBT-WG1602
Zbtlink ZBT-WG1602 is a Wi-Fi router intendent to use with WWAN
(UMTS/LTE/3G/4G) modems. The router board offsers a couple of miniPCIe
slots with USB and SIM only and another one pure miniPCIe slot as well
as five Gigabit Ethernet ports (4xLAN + WAN).

Specification:

* SoC: MT7621A
* RAM: 256/512 MiB
* Flash: 16/32 MiB (SPI NOR)
* external watchdog (looks like Torexsemi XC6131B)
* Eth: 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet x5 ports (4xLAN + WAN)
* WLAN 2GHz: MT7603EN (.11n, MIMO 2x2)
* WLAN 5GHz: MT7612EN (.11ac, MIMO 2x2)
* WLAN Ants: detachable x2, shared by 2GHz & 5GHz radios
* miniPCIe: 2x slots with USB&SIM + 1x slot with regular PCIe bus
* WWAN Ants: detachable x4
* External storage: microSD (SDXC) slot
* USB: 2.0 Type-A port
* LED: 11 (5 per Eth phy, 3 SoC controlled, 2 WLAN 2/5 controlled, 1
       power indicator)
* Button: 1 (reset)
* UART: console (115200 baud)
* Power: DC jack (12 V / 2.5 A)

Additional HW information:

* SoC USB port #1 is shared by internal miniPCIe slot and external
  Type-A USB port, USB D+/D- lines are toggled between ports using a
  GPIO controlled DPDT switch.
* Power of the USB enabled miniPCIe slots can be individually controlled
  using dedicated GPIO lines.
* Vendor firmware feeds the external watchdog with 1s pulses. GPIO
  watchdog driver is able to either generate a 1us pulses or toggle the
  output line. 1us is not enough for the external watchod timer, so
  the line toggling driver mode is utilized.

Installation:

Vendor's firmware is OpenWrt (LEDE) based, so the sysupgrade image can
be directly used to install OpenWrt. Firmware must be upgraded using the
'force' and 'do not save configuration' command line options (or
correspondig web interface checkboxes) since the vendor firmware is from
the pre-DSA era.

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.

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.

  • LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.

  • OpenWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.

  • OpenWrt Routing: Packages specifically focused on (mesh) routing.

  • OpenWrt Video: Packages specifically focused on display servers and clients (Xorg and Wayland).
