ar71xx:add support for E558 v2 Qxwlan E558 v2 is based on Qualcomm QCA9558 + AR8327. Specification: - 720/600/200 MHz (CPU/DDR/AHB) - 128 MB of RAM (DDR2) - 8/16 MB of FLASH (SPI NOR) - 2T2R 2.4 GHz (QCA9558) - 3x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet (one port with PoE support) - 4x miniPCIe slot (USB 2.0 bus only) - 1x microSIM slot - 5x LED (4 driven by GPIO) - 1x button (reset) - 1x 3-pos switch - 1x DC jack for main power input (9-48 V) - UART (JP5) and LEDs (J8) headers on PCB Flash instruction (using U-Boot CLI and tftp server): - Configure PC with static IP 192.168.1.10 and tftp server. - Rename "sysupgrade" filename to "firmware.bin" and place it in tftp server directory. - Connect PC with one of RJ45 ports, power up the board and press "enter" key to access U-Boot CLI. - Use the following command to update the device to OpenWrt: "run lfw". Flash instruction (using U-Boot web-based recovery): - Configure PC with static IP 192.168.1.xxx(2-254)/24. - Connect PC with one of RJ45 ports, press the reset button, power up the board and keep button pressed for around 6-7 seconds, until LEDs start flashing. - Open your browser and enter 192.168.1.1, select "sysupgrade" image and click the upgrade button.
