mediatek: add support for Airpi AP3000M This adds support for the Airpi AP3000M 5G CPE based on MediaTek MT7981B. Specifications: SoC: MediaTek MT7981B (dual-core ARM Cortex-A53) RAM: 1GB DDR4 Storage: 8GB or 16GB eMMC Ethernet: 1x 2.5GbE LAN, 1x 1GbE WAN Wireless: 2.4GHz/5GHz 802.11ax Buttons: Reset, WPS LEDs: System, 2.4GHz WiFi, 5GHz WiFi Cooling: PWM-controlled fan Expansion: M.2 slot for 5G modem The factory partition (mmcblk0p2) is empty in stock firmware. Execute via SSH before flashing OpenWrt: ``` dd if=/lib/firmware/MT7981_iPAiLNA_EEPROM.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0p2 bs=4k count=1 MAC addresses ``` Fixed MAC addresses are derived by macaddr_generate_from_mmc_cid. Installation via U-Boot web page Set static IP 192.168.88.2/255.255.255.0 on your computer. Connect to the 1GbE port (WAN) and hold the reset button while booting the device. Wait for about 6 seconds, and release the reset button. Open U-boot web page on your browser at http://192.168.88.1 Select the OpenWRT sysupgrade image, upload it, and start the upgrade. Wait for automatic reboot. Installation via sysupgrade Flash the sysupgrade file via LuCI upgrade page without saving the settings.
