mediatek: add support for Buffalo WSR-6000AX8 and AX8P This commit adds support for Buffalo WSR-6000AX8 and AX8P models. Hardware -------- SOC: MediaTek MT7986B RAM: 512MB FLASH: 128MB SPI-NAND (Winbond) WIFI 2.4G: (Embedded in SOC) b/g/n/ax, MIMO 4x4 WIFI 5G: (Embedded in SOC) a/n/ac/ax, MIMO 4x4 ETHERNET: 2.5GbE MaxLinear GPY211C (eth1: WAN) ETHERNET: MediaTek MT7531AE 3xGbE (eth0: LAN1, LAN2, LAN3) UART: 3.3V 115200 8N1 Serial(UART) Pin Layout ----------------------- +-------+-------+-------+-------+ J4 | RX | TX | GND |(3.3V) | +-------+-------+-------+-------+ (Bottom Side) MAC Address Table ----------------- lan1-3: board_data 0x4(text) eth1/WAN: board_data 0x4(text) WIFI 2.4G: lan1 + 2 WIFI 5G: lan1 + 9 Installation ------------ 1. Set up a TFTP server with the IP address "192.168.11.2". 2. Rename the OpenWrt initramfs image to "linux.ubi-recovery" and place it in the TFTP server's root directory. 3. While holding down the AOSS button, power on the WSR-6000AX8 (or AX8P). 4. The device will automatically download the initramfs image from the TFTP server and boot into it. 5. Once booted, run "sysupgrade -n" using the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to complete the installation. Recovery -------- 1. Decrypt the official firmware image using "buffalo-enc". example: $ buffalo-enc -d -i wsr_6000ax8_jp_100 -o wsr_6000ax8_jp_100.dec \ -l -O 0xc8 2. Run "sysupgrade -F -n" with the decrypted image.
