qualcommax: ipq60xx: add TP-Link EAP625-Outdoor HD v1 support TP-Link EAP625-Outdoor HD is a 802.11ax AP claiming AX1800 support. It is wall or pole mountable, and rated for outdoor use. It can only be powered via PoE. Hardware-wise, it is very similar to the older EAP610-Outdoor model. Software-wise, I couldn't find a difference other than the board data files, and device name. For this reason, the majority of the devicetree from the EAP610-Outdoor is reused. This device currently comes in a "v1", and "v1.6" version. The "support-list" of the vendor firmware does not have a distinction between these versions. This commit was tested on a 'V1.6" device. Specifications: --------------- * CPU: Qualcomm IPQ6018 Quad core Cortex-A53 * RAM: 512 MB * Storage: 128MB NAND * Ethernet: * Gigabit RJ45 port with PoE input * WLAN: * 2.4GHz/5GHz * LEDs: * Multi-color System LED (Green/Amber) * Buttons: * 1x Reset * UART: 4-pin unpopulated header * 1.8 V level, Pinout 1 - TX, 2 - RX, 3 - GND, 4 - 1.8V Installation: ============= Web UI method ------------- Set up the device using the vendor's web UI. After that go to Management->SSH and enable the "SSH Login" checkbox. Select "Save". The connect to the machine via SSH: ssh -o hostkeyalgorithms=ssh-rsa <ip_of_device> Disable signature verification: cliclientd stopcs Rename the "-web-ui-factory" image to something less than 63 characters, maintaining the ".bin" suffix. * Go to System -> Firmware Update. * Under "New Firmware File", click "Browse" and select the image * Select "Update" and confirm by clicking "OK". If the update fails, the web UI should show an error message. Otherwise, the device should reboot into OpenWRT. NOTE: If ssh continues to complain that "no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss" it likely means that yor distro has completely disabled deprecated siphers in ssh. In that case, run the ssh command from a docker container of an older distro. TFTP method ----------- To flash via tftp, first place the initramfs image on the TFTP server. setenv serverip <ip of tftp server> setenv ipaddr <ip in same subnet as tftp server> tftpboot tplink_eap625-outdoor-hd-v1-initramfs-uImage.itb bootm This should boot OpenWRT. Once booted, flash the sysupgrade.bin image using either luci or the commandline.
