ath79: add support for ALFA Network Tube-2HQ ALFA Network Tube-2HQ is a successor of the Tube-2H/P series (EOL) which was based on the Atheros AR9331. The new version uses Qualcomm QCA9531. Specifications: - Qualcomm/Atheros QCA9531 v2 - 650/400/200 MHz (CPU/DDR/AHB) - 64 or 128 MB of RAM (DDR2) - 16+ MB of flash (SPI NOR) - 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet with passive PoE input (24 V) (802.3at/af PoE support with optional module) - 1T1R 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with external PA (SE2623L, up to 27 dBm) and LNA - 1x Type-N (male) antenna connector - 6x LED (5x driven by GPIO) - 1x button (reset) - external h/w watchdog (EM6324QYSP5B, enabled by default) - UART (4-pin, 2.00 mm pitch) header on PCB Flash instruction: You can use sysupgrade image directly in vendor firmware which is based on LEDE/OpenWrt. Alternatively, you can use web recovery mode in U-Boot: 1. Configure PC with static IP 192.168.1.2/24. 2. Connect PC with one of RJ45 ports, press the reset button, power up device, wait for first blink of all LEDs (indicates network setup), then keep button for 3 following blinks and release it. 3. Open 192.168.1.1 address in your browser and upload sysupgrade image.
