ramips: add support for Linksys E5600 This submission relied heavily on the work of Linksys EA7300 v1/ v2. Specifications: * SoC: MediaTek MT7621A (880 MHz 2c/4t) * RAM: 128M DDR3-1600 * Flash: 128M NAND * Eth: MediaTek MT7621A (10/100/1000 Mbps x5) * Radio: MT7603E/MT7613BE (2.4 GHz & 5 GHz) * Antennae: 2 internal fixed in the casing and 2 on the PCB * LEDs: Blue (x4 Ethernet) Blue+Orange (x2 Power + WPS and Internet) * Buttons: Reset (x1) WPS (x1) Installation: Flash factory image through GUI. This device has 2 partitions for the firmware called firmware and alt_firmware. To successfully flash and boot the device, the device should have been running from alt_firmware partition. To get the device booted through alt_firmware partition, download the OEM firmware from Linksys website and upgrade the firmware from web GUI. Once this is done, flash the OpenWrt Factory firmware from web GUI. Reverting to factory firmware: 1. Boot to 'alt_firmware'(where stock firmware resides) by doing one of the following: Press the "wps" button as soon as power LED turns on when booting. (OR) Hard-reset the router consecutively three times to force it to boot from 'alt_firmware'. 2. To remove any traces of OpenWRT from your router simply flash the OEM image at this point.
