This changes the ath10k firmware and driver selection, as
ath10k-ct is now the default in upstream OpenWrt.
However, for 802.11s operation we need the QCA firmware and driver.
This adds previously absent ath10k packages definitions. This way,
devices correctly select CandelaTech firmware correctly, when
GLUON_WLAN_MESH is set to IBSS.
This is also necessary for all devices, when OpenWrt is switched to
19.07.
The kernel partition on these devices is too small for the
OpenWrt 19.07 kernel. It is also located after the rootfs, so
we cannot grow it further.
Therefore mark these devices as deprecated now.
This reverts commit fb08e10494.
Devices featuring ath10k radios should at least 128 MB of memory
as their driver is quite memory hungry.
Devices with a configuration (1x ath10k, 64M memory) like this have
often been seen as running out of memory.
The profile for GL.iNet AR750 currently selects ATH10K_PACKAGES, but this device actually has a QCA9887 which needs another driver.
This commit fixes the issue by setting ATH10K_PACKAGES_QCA9887 instead.
By passing the package name through merge_packages, it becomes possible to
override the package choice in GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES again, for example:
GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES += -hostapd-mini hostapd
The device is broken until the next release. The LEDs are currently not
working (fixed in current OpenWRT master).
Also give a brief explanation about the BROKEN status being dependent on
the WiFi chip used and not the SoC family in general.
This backports the TP-Link Archer C50 v4.
We are dropping the following upstream commits. They add support for the
TP-Link recovery-flag which enabled the web-recovery. As they are not
needed for the router to work, we drop them for now.
28cd2ca base-files: sysupgrade: support additional mtd options
1e06482 mtd: add logic for TP-Link ramips recovery magic
This allows for smaller firmware images and makes it possible to reset a
device via firstboot command.

This commit removes the broken flag from all devices in the mt76x8
subtarget.
The stability of the mt76 driver for the mt7628 and mt7612 has greatly
improved in the last half-year. It might be still behind ath9k and
ath10k but it is suitable for daily use.
This affects the following devices:
- GL.iNet MT300N v2
- TP-Link Archer C50 v3
- TP-Link TL-WR841 v13
This adds support for the TP-Link TL-WR902Ac v1 travel router.
The device is marked as broken due to 64MB which might be insufficient
in certain environments.
The MT76x8 is currently not stable enough for worry-free use with Gluon.
It suffers from reboots in intervals as little as 12 hours or WiFi
freezes for several hours.
It may be unflagged as soon the situation with mt76 got better.
This device is a dual 5GHz device. It is recommended to manually change the
radio of the first device to the lower 5GHz channels and the second radio
to the upper 5GHz channels.
Add support for IBSS meshing. Leave target marked as BROKEN for IBSS
as stability is unknown and WiFi LEDs are not working.
Functionality was tested in the network of Freifunk Frankfurt with other
ipq40xx and ar71xx devices.
Support is marked as broken because this device is sold in two variants,
one with 64M RAM and another with 128M. As of now 64M is not enough
for ath10k with 5GHz enabled.
As there is no indication known which variant one will get better mark
it as broken.

Adds support for Alfa AP121F USB powered travel router (looks like an USB ethernet adapter).
There is no factory image, but only a sysupgrade file for this router which can be installed using the inbuilt UBoot web interface.
Configure your PC with IP address 192.168.1.2 and connect the router using its RJ45 port. Hold the reset button while powering the device until all LEDs have flashed 3 times simultaneously. You can now access the fallback web interface using a web browser at http://192.168.1.1 and flash the sysupgrade file.
This commit adds support for the AVM Fritz!Box 4020 WiFi-router.
SoC: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9561 (Dragonfly) 750MHz
RAM: Winbond W971GG6KB-25
FLASH: Macronix MX25L12835F
WiFi: QCA9561 b/g/n 3x3 450Mbit/s
USB: 1x USB 2.0
IN: WPS button, WiFi button
OUT: Power LED green, Internet LED green, WLAN LED green,
LAN LED green, INFO LED green, INFO LED red
UART: Header Next to Black metal shield
Pinout is 3.3V - RX - TX - GND (Square Pad is 3.3V)
The Serial setting is 115200-8-N-1.
Tested and working:
- Ethernet (LAN + WAN)
- WiFi (correct MAC)
- Installation via EVA bootloader
- OpenWRT sysupgrade
- Buttons
- LEDs
Not working:
- USB port
Installation via EVA:
In the first seconds after Power is connected, the bootloader will
listen for FTP connections on 169.254.157.1 (Might also be 192.168.178.1). Firmware can be uploaded
like following:
ftp> quote USER adam2
ftp> quote PASS adam2
ftp> binary
ftp> debug
ftp> passive
ftp> quote MEDIA FLSH
ftp> put openwrt-sysupgrade.bin mtd1
Note that this procedure might take up to two minutes. After transfer is
complete you need to powercycle the device to boot OpenWRT.

ar71xx-generic and -tiny benefit most from the optimized kernel, as they
contain all devices with 32MB RAM. We enable CONFIG_GLUON_SPECIALIZE_KERNEL
for all targets using the mips24_kc architecture so packages shared between
targets don't need to be rebuild all the time.
