ath79: add support for NEC Aterm WG1200CR NEC Aterm WG1200CR is a 2.4/5 GHz band 11ac router, based on Qualcomm Atheros QCA9563. Specification: - SoC : Qualcomm Atheros QCA9563 - RAM : DDR2 128 MiB - Flash : SPI-NOR 8 MiB - WLAN : 2.4/5 GHz 2T2R - 2.4 GHz : QCA9563 (SoC) - 5 GHz : QCA9888 - Ethernet : 2x 10/100/1000 Mbps - Switch : QCA8334 - LEDs/Input : 12x/4x (2x buttons, 1x slide-switch) - UART : through-hole on PCB - JP1: Vcc, GND, NC, TX, RX from power connector side - 115200 bps Flash instruction using factory image: 1. Boot WG1200CR normaly 2. Access to "http://192.168.10.1/" and open firmware update page ("ファームウェア更新") 3. Select the OpenWrt factory image and click update ("更新") button to perform firmware update 4. Wait ~150 seconds to complete flashing Known issues: - cannot be controlled LEDs other than Power (Green/Red) - only Power LEDs are connected to SoC GPIO; other LEDs connected to the gpiochip on ath10k chip (QCA9888)
