Target: mediatek
Subtarget: filogic
Package architecture: aarch64_cortex-a53
Support started version: unknown
Current supported version: snapshot

Unsupported Functions:
802.15.4 co-processor
LAN Comment: 1x 2.5GbE PoE uplink; MaxLinear GPY211C PHY (id 0x67c9de0a) at MDIO addr 5 on GMAC1, 2500base-x; enumerates as eth0
WLAN Hardware: MediaTek MT7986A
WLAN Comment: AX6000. 4x4 2.4GHz + 4x4 5GHz, HE/802.11ax, MCS 0-11. Calibration from the 'radio' file in the factory_data UBIFS. 802.11s mesh tested working.
Installation method(s):
Serial required: both OEM ingest paths are RSA-signed. TFTP initramfs to RAM from U-Boot, then sysupgrade. UART0 (ttyS0), 115200 8N1, 3.3 V; pads TP13=TX, TP14=RX, TP15=GND, TP16=VCC (RF side, next to J255)
Recovery method(s):
Serial, TP-Link rescue partition
Recovery Comment:
Hold reset at boot for TP-Link HTTP recovery; accepts signed OEM firmware only, restores stock.
Comment:
SPI-NAND on chip-select 1 with MediaTek NMBM. Stock A/B layout preserved: OpenWrt in slot A ('ubi'), stock kept in slot B ('ubi1') as a revert path. Carries a TI CC2652P7 BLE/802.15.4 co-processor on UART1, not driven by OpenWrt.
