qualcommax: ipq50xx: add support for Linksys MX2000 and MX5500
Add support for Linksys MX2000 (Atlas 6) and MX5500 (Atlas 6 Pro).
These devices are completely identical except for the secondary wifi
chip used for 5Ghz: QCN6102 is used on MX2000 while QCN9024 is used
on MX5500

Flash instructions (in case of MX2000, else replace with MX5500 images):
1. On OEM firmware, login to the device (typically at http://192.168.1.1) and click 'CA'
in the bottom right corner -> Connectivity -> Manual Upgrade. Alternatively, browse to
http://<router IP>/fwupdate.html.
Upgrade firmware using openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx2000-squashfs-factory.bin image.
Optionally install on second partition, after first boot check actual partition:
fw_printenv -n boot_part
and install firmware on second partition using command in case of 2:
mtd -r -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx2000-squashfs-factory.bin kernel
and in case of 1:
mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx2000-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel
2. Installation using serial connection from OEM firmware (default login: root, password: admin):
fw_printenv -n boot_part
In case of 2:
flash_erase /dev/mtd12 0 0
nandwrite -p /dev/mtd12 openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx2000-squashfs-factory.bin
or in case of 1:
flash_erase /dev/mtd14 0 0
nandwrite -p /dev/mtd14 openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx2000-squashfs-factory.bin
After first boot install firmware on second partition:
mtd -r -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx2000-squashfs-factory.bin kernel
or:
mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-linksys_mx2000-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel
3. Back to the OEM firmware.
Download firmware from OEM website:
MX2000: https://support.linksys.com/kb/article/585-en/
MX5500: https://support.linksys.com/kb/article/587-en/
From serial or SSH:
fw_printenv boot_part
in case of 1:
mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write FW_MX2000_1.1.7.210469_prod.img alt_kernel
else in case of 2:
mtd -r -e kernel -n write FW_MX2000_1.1.7.210469_prod.img kernel
