Flashing
 | NOTE: During configuration or flashing a device, the only things that should be hooked to the device is the computer and power. |
Flashing OpenWrt
 | This device is NOT RECOMMENDED for future use with OpenWrt due to low flash/ram.
DO NOT BUY DEVICES WITH 8MB FLASH / 64MB RAM if you intend to flash an up-to-date and secure OpenWrt version onto it! See 8/64 warning for details. This device does not have sufficient resources (flash and/or RAM) to provide secure and reliable operation. This means that you will not be able to install many packages, and that you might experience crashes due to OOM situations more or less often. See OpenWrt on 8/64 devices what you can do now. |

ath79: add support for Ubiquiti PowerBeam M (XW)
This patch adds support for the Ubiquiti PowerBeam M (XW), e.g. PBE-M5-400,
a 802.11n wireless with a feed+dish form factor. This device was previously
supported by the ar71xx loco-m-xw firmware.
Specifications:
- Atheros AR9342 SoC
- 64 MB RAM
- 8 MB SPI flash
- 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port, 24 Vdc PoE-in
- Power and LAN green LEDs
- 4x RSSI LEDs (red, orange, green, green)
- UART (115200 8N1)
Flashing via stock GUI:
- Downgrade to AirOS v5.5.x (latest available is 5.5.10-u2) first (see
https://openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/powerbeam installation instructions)
- Upload the factory image via AirOS web GUI.
Flashing via TFTP:
- Use a pointy tool (e.g., unbent paperclip) to keep the
reset button pressed.
- Power on the device (keep reset button pressed).
- Keep pressing until LEDs flash alternatively LED1+LED3 =>
LED2+LED4 => LED1+LED3, etc.
- Release reset button.
- The device starts a TFTP server at 192.168.1.20.
- Set a static IP on the computer (e.g., 192.168.1.21/24).
- Upload via tftp the factory image:
$ tftp 192.168.1.20
tftp> bin
tftp> trace
tftp> put openwrt-ath79-generic-xxxxx-ubnt_powerbeam-m-xw-squashfs-factory.bin
WARNING: so far, no non-destructive method has been discovered for
opening the enclosure to reach the serial console. Internal photos
