mediatek: filogic: support WAVLINK WL-WN586X3 Rev B This commit adds support for the WAVLINK WL-WN586X3 Rev B, which swaps the 16MB NOR flash for an 128MB NAND flash chip, and uses UBI for data partition. This commit utilizes the previous submitted dtsi that includes common hardware for a few Wavlink routers. Hardware -------- - SOC: MediaTek MT7981B - RAM: 256MB DDR3 - Flash: 128MB SPI-NAND (ESMT F50L1G41LB) - Ethernet: 2x1Gb Lan 1x1Gb Wan - WiFi: MediaTek MT7981B 2x2 DBDC 802.11ax 2T2R (2.4/5) with 4 external and 1 internal antennae - LEDs: 2xLan 1x Wan 1x WIFI 1xSTATUS Installation ------------ Flashing over the vendor WebUI has been tested and unsuccessful (YMMV). The image need to be flashed via TFTP which can be activated over the onboard UART serial console: 1. Connect UART: TX->board RX, RX->board TX, GND->board GND. 2. Connect PC to router lan port. 3. Setup the tftp server on PC, set IP to 192.168.10.100. 4. Power on the device. Interrupt boot countdown at uboot boot menu and select 2. Upgrade firmware option. 5. Input the image name and start flashing. Sample uboot menu: ``` *** U-Boot Boot Menu *** 1. Startup system (Default) 2. Upgrade firmware 3. Upgrade ATF BL2 4. Upgrade ATF FIP 5. Upgrade single image 6. Load image 0. U-Boot console ``` NOTE: Do not use the intermediate image here which is for Rev A only: https://github.com/themaverickdm/firmware-misc/tree/main/wavlink/wl-wn586x3 MAC Addresses ------------- LAN: 80:3F:5D:xx:xx:x1 (hw, 0x44e, ASCII encoded) WAN: 80:3F:5D:xx:xx:x2 (hw, 0x460, ASCII encoded) 2G: 80:3F:5D:xx:xx:x3 (factory, 0x4, raw binary, also on label) 5G: 80:3F:5D:xx:xx:x3 (Same as 2G)
