bmips: add support for Actiontec T1200H Specifications: - SoC: Broadcom BCM63168 dual 400MHz MIPS - Flash: 128MB NAND ESMT F59L1G81A - RAM: 128MB DDR3 - Ethernet: 5x 1000M - Wifi: BCM435F - 1x USB 2.0 port - 2x Button - 11x LED - Coax HPNA (unsupported) - RJ11 xDSL (unsupported) Install instructions: The booloader will only install signed firmware so the image has to be manually flashed. - Set up a TFTP server on 192.168.1.0/24 to serve the initramfs image - Interrupt the bootloader and run from RAM with r 192.168.1.100:openwrt-bmips-bcm63268-actiontec_t1200h-initramfs.elf - On the openwrt console, copy the wfi image using wget/tftp/scp, i.e scp user@192.168.1.100:~/openwrt/bin/targets/bmips/bcm63268/openwrt-bmips-bcm63268-actiontec_t1200h-squashfs-cfe.bin /tmp/ - Erase half the flash partition where openwrt will be installed with flash_erase -j /dev/mtd1 0 491 - Flash the openwrt image with nandwrite -p /dev/mtd1 /tmp/openwrt-bmips-bcm63268-actiontec_t1200h-squashfs-cfe.bin - Reboot - Interrupt the bootloader again and use the c command to boot from previous firmware if vendor image is loaded
