ath79: add support for ZTE MF282 The ZTE MF282 is a LTE router used (exclusively?) by the network operator "3". Specifications ============== SoC: QCA9563 (775MHz) RAM: 128MiB Flash: 8MiB SPI-NOR + 128MiB SPI-NAND LAN: 1x GBit LAN LTE: ZTE MF270 (Cat4), detected as P685M WiFi: QCA9880ac + QCA9560bgn MAC addresses ============= LAN: from config WiFi 1: from config WiFi 2: +1 Installation ============ TFTP installation using UART is preferred. Disassemble the device and connect serial. Put the initramfs image as openwrt.bin to your TFTP server and configure a static IP of 192.168.1.100. Load the initramfs image by typing: setenv serverip 192.168.1.100 setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1 tftpboot 0x82000000 openwrt.bin bootm 0x82000000 From this intiramfs boot you can take a backup of the currently installed partitions as no vendor firmware is available for download. Once booted, transfer the sysupgrade image and run sysupgrade. LTE Modem ========= The LTE modem is probably the same as in the MF283+, all instructions apply. Configuring the connection using modemmanager works properly, the modem provides three serial ports and a QMI CDC ethernet interface.
