Supported Since Commit
Support started version: 24.10.0
Current supported version: 24.10.5
LAN Comment: PoE PD 802.3af
WLAN Hardware: 2x Atheros AR9390 (mini-PCIe)
WLAN Comment: 3x3:3 MIMO cards. Both 5ghz capable. Running both at 5ghz can lead to DFS events.

See git-commit
Install Comment:
Identical to MSM460
Recovery Comment:
Identical to MSM460
Comment:
J9621A and J9620A should be identical but are untested. Of note patch sent to mailing list to add it as an altname for msm460. After flashing for my unit, transmit power limits were 23dBm in 2.4GHz, 18dBm in 5GHz. Factory is 20dBm in both bands for both radios. Factory left it to the user to consider transmit power, antenna gain and channel selection, given the approval for indoor and outdoor antennas of various gains.

mpc85xx: add support for Hewlett Packard MSM460
Hardware
--------
CPU:  Freescale P1020 2xe500 PPC
RAM:  256M DDR3 (Micron MT41J64M16JT-15E:G "D9MNJ")
NAND: 128M (Micron 2CA1)
BTN:  1x Reset
LED:  Power - ETH - Radio1 - Radio2
UART: RJ-45 Cisco Pinout - 115200 8N1

Installation
------------
NOTE: You can find a repo with up-to-date instructions as well as
the required files here:

https://github.com/blocktrron/msm460-flashing

Required files
==============
You need a command-files as well as a U-Boot image.

The command-file has the following content (padded to 131072 bytes).

If you copy paste these, remove the newlines!

```
U-BOOT setenv ethaddr 02:03:04:05:06:07; setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1;
setenv serverip 192.168.1.66; tftpboot 0x3000000 msm460-uboot.bin;
nand device; nand erase 0 0xC0000; nand write 0x3000000 0x0 0xC0000; reset
```

You can download the required U-Boot from this repository:

https://github.com/blocktrron/u-boot-msm/releases

Preparation
===========
Prepare a TFTP server serving two files:

 - U-Boot NAND image as `msm460-uboot.bin`.
 - OpenWrt factory image as `msm460-factory.bin`
 - Command-file names `commands.tftp`

You can start a TFTP server in the current directory using dnsmasq:

```bash
sudo dnsmasq --no-daemon --listen-address=0.0.0.0 \
    --port=0 --enable-tftp=enxd0 --tftp-root="$(pwd)" \
    --user=root --group=root
```
Replace `enxd0` with the name of your network interface.

Procedure
=========
1. Assign yourself the IP-Address 192.168.1.66/24.
3. Connect the Router to the PC while keeping the reset button
   pressed.
4. The LEDs will eventually begin to flash.
   They will start to flash faster after around 15 seconds.
5. Release the reset button.
6. Start a new shell
7. Make sure you are currently in the directory where the tftp server
   is located.
8. Run the following command:

```bash
tftp 192.168.1.1 -m binary -c put commands.tftp nflashd.cccc9999
```

You get the message "Transfer timed out."
To find out if you have been successful, please check the
blinking LED Pattern.
