ath79: add support for Qualcomm AP143 reference boards Specifications: SoC: QCA9533 DRAM: 32Mb DDR1 Flash: 8/16Mb SPI-NOR LAN: 4x 10/100Mbps via AR8229 switch (integrated into SoC) on GMII WAN: 1x 10/100Mbps via MII WLAN: QCA9530 USB: 1x 2.0 UART: standard QCA UART header JTAG: yes Button: 1x WPS, 1x reset LEDs: 8x LEDs A version with 4Mb flash is also available, but due to lack of enough space it's not supported. As the original flash layout does not provide enough space for the kernel (1472k), the firmware uses OKLI and concat flash to overcome the limitation without changing the boot address of the bootloaders. Installation: 1. Original bootloader Connect the board to ethernet Set up a server with an IP address of 192.168.1.10 Make the openwrt-ath79-generic-qca_ap143-8m-squashfs-factory.bin available via TFTP tftpboot 0x80060000 openwrt-ath79-generic-qca_ap143-8m-squashfs-factory.bin erase 0x9f050000 +$filesize cp.b $fileaddr 0x9f050000 $filesize Reboot the board. 2. pepe2k's u-boot_mod Connect the board to ethernet Set up a server with an IP address of 192.168.1.10 Make the openwrt-ath79-generic-qca_ap143-8m-squashfs-factory.bin available via TFTP, as "firmware.bin" run fw_upg Reboot the board. For the 16M version of the board, please use openwrt-ath79-generic-qca_ap143-16m-squashfs-factory.bin
