qualcommax: ipq807x: add support for Zyxel NWA210AX The Zyxel NWA210AX is a wall- and ceiling-mountable access point (AP). Hardware specifications: - SoC: Qualcomm IPQ8071A - RAM: 1 GB (Samsung K4A8G165WC-BCTD) - Flash: 8 MB (Winbond W25Q64DW), 256 MB (Winbond W29N02GZ) - Ethernet: 1x 2.5 Gbps RJ45 port (QCA8081), 1x 1 Gbps RJ45 port (AR8033) - WiFi: 2.4 GHz 802.11ax/b/g/n (QCN5024), 5 GHz 802.11 ac/ax/n (QCN5054) - Power: DC 12V/PoE 802.3at - Button: Reset - LEDs: Multicolour red/green/blue/white via LP5562 Installation/flashing instructions: 1. In OEM web interface navigate to gear icon → System → SSH and enable SSH. 2. Log in via SSH (username/password are the same as for the web interface). 3. Run "debug dual-image show". 4. Verify that output is "Current Image num: 1". 5. If this is not the case (i.e. if the output is "Current Image num: 0"): a. Either flash a fresh version of factory firmware, or b. run "debug dual-image set boot-image image1" and then run "reboot". 6. Log in via SSH again and verify that output is "Current Image num: 1". 7. Rename "openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-zyxel_nwa210ax-squashfs-factory.bin" to "openwrt.bin" to avoid upload errors in the OEM web interface. 8. Reopen OEM web interface, navigate to wrench icon → File Manager → Firmware Package and upload the bin file. Once the upgrade process is finished and OpenWrt has booted, the LED will light up green. Switching between OpenWrt and OEM firmware: - OpenWrt → Zyxel via ssh command "zyxel-bootconfig-ipq807x set image1". - Zyxel → OpenWrt via ssh command "debug dual-image set boot-image image0". This commit is based on the work of Pascal Beleiu <pascal@beleiu.de>: 93ca21f3 (qualcommax: ipq807x: add support for Zyxel NWA210AX, 2025-03-17)
