ipq807x: add Spectrum SAX1V1K Spectrum SAX1V1K is a AX WIFI router with 3 1G and 1 2.5G ports. The router is provided to Spectrum customers. It is OEM of Askey RT5010W https://forum.openwrt.org/t/spectrum-sax1v1k-askey-rt5010w-openwrt-support/149923 It continues the original work by @MeisterLone to get this device supported. Specifications: ``` • CPU: Qualcomm IPQ8072A Quad core Cortex-A53 2.2GHz • RAM: 2048MB of DDR3 • Storage: 1024MB eMMC • Ethernet: 3x 1G RJ45 ports (QCA8075) + 1 2.5G Port (QCA8081) • WLAN: • 2.4GHz: Qualcomm QCN5024 4x4 802.11b/g/n/ax 1174 Mbps PHY rate • 5GHz: Qualcomm QCN5054 4x4 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax 2402 PHY rate • LED: 1 gpio-controlled dual color led (blue/red) • Buttons: 1x reset • Power: 12V DC jack ``` Notes: ``` • This commit adds only single partition support, that means sysupgrade is upgrading the current rootfs partition. • Installation can be done by serial connection only. • A poulated serial header is onboard https://forum.openwrt.org/t/spectrum-sax1v1k-askey-rt5010w-openwrt-support/149923/6 • RX/TX is working, u-boot bootwait is active, secure boot is enabled. ``` Installation Instructions: **Most part of the installation is performed from an initramfs image.** Boot initramfs : Using serial connection 1. Boot up the device and wait till it displays "VERIFY_IB: Success. verify IB ok" 2. Once that message appears, login with username 'root' password serial number of your router in uppercase. 3. Use vi to paste the 'open.sh' script from @MeisterLone github on your device https://github.com/MeisterLone/Askey-RT5010W-D187-REV6/blob/master/Patch/open.sh 4. chmod 755 open.sh 5. ./open.sh 6. Set your ip to 192.168.0.1 7. Run a TFTP server and host the initramfs image on the TFTP server and name it "recovery.img" 8. Reboot device. On boot it will try TFTP. Install OpenWrt from initramfs image: 1. Use SCP (or other way) to transfer OpenWrt factory image 2. Connect to device using SSH (on a LAN port) 3. Flash firmware: sysupgrade # sysupgrade -n -v /tmp/openwrt_sysupgrade.bin 4. Set U-boot env variable: bootcmd # fw_setenv bootcmd "run fix_uboot; run setup_and_boot" 5. Reboot the device # reboot 6. Once device is booted, residue of previous firmware will prevent openwrt to work properly. Factory Reset is MUST required # Once serial console is displaying to login, hold reset button for 10 sec 7. Now everything should be operational. Note: this PR adds only single partition support, that means sysupgrade is upgrading the current rootfs partition
