Sometimes it is useful to override the default version detection, for
example when local patches are applied to a repo. Allow providing a
version number using a file called .scmversion, which is the same that
the Linux kernel and U-Boot use.

TP-Link RE200 v2 is a wireless range extender with Ethernet and 2.4G and 5G
WiFi with internal antennas. It's based on MediaTek MT7628AN+MT7610EN.
Specifications
--------------
- MediaTek MT7628AN (580 Mhz)
- 64 MB of RAM
- 8 MB of FLASH
- 2T2R 2.4 GHz and 1T1R 5 GHz
- 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- UART header on PCB (57600 8n1)
- 8x LED (GPIO-controlled), 2x button
There are 2.4G and 5G LEDs in red and green which are controlled
separately.
MAC addresses
-------------
The MAC address assignment matches stock firmware, i.e.:
LAN : *:0D
2.4G: *:0E
5G : *:0F
Installation
------------
Web Interface
-------------
It is possible to upgrade to OpenWrt via the web interface. Simply flash
the -factory.bin from OEM. In contrast to a stock firmware, this will not
overwrite U-Boot.
v2: In contrast to the last patches, this is now built on top of ssh
only, without using e.g. 9pfs. Furthermore it works also with
arbitary remote hosts on any target/architecture. Also the
scripts were renamed and moved to /scripts.
The aim of this commit is to allow fast rebuild cycles during the
development of gluon packages.
Currently the following workflow can be used:
# start a local qemu instance
scripts/run_qemu.sh output/images/factory/[...].img
# do your changes in the file you want to patch
vi package/gluon-ebtables/files/etc/init.d/gluon-ebtables
# rebuild and update the package
scripts/push_pkg.sh package/gluon-ebtables/
# test your changes
...
# do more changes
...
# rebuild and update the package
scripts/push_pkg.sh package/gluon-ebtables/
# test your changes
...
(and so on...)
Implementation details:
- Currently this is based on ssh/scp.
- Opkg is used to install/update the packages in the remote machine.
Benefits:
- This works with compiled and non-compiled packages.
- This works with native OpenWrt and Gluon packages.
- This even performs the check_site.lua checks as they are integrated
as post_install scripts into the openwrt package.
- It works for all architectures/targets.
VoCores aren't exactly useful mesh nodes except for experimentation.
They certainly aren't worth maintaining a whole target, in particular
one that has a WLAN driver not used by any other target.

Installation:
Bootloader won't accept any serial input unless "boot_wait" u-boot
environment variable is changed to "on".
Vendor firmware won't accept any serial input until "uart_en" is
set to "1".
Using the https://github.com/acecilia/OpenWRTInvasion exploit you
can gain access to shell to enable these options:
To enable uart keyboard actions - 'nvram set uart_en=1'
To make uboot delay boot work - 'nvram set boot_wait=on'
Set boot delay to 5 - 'nvram set bootdelay=5'
Then run 'nvram commit' to make the changes permanent.
Once in the shell (following the OpenWRTInvasion instructions) you
can then run the following to flash OpenWrt and then reboot:
'cd /tmp; curl https://downloads.openwrt.org/...-sysupgrade.bin
--output firmware.bin; mtd -e OS1 -r write firmware.bin OS1'
Explains the behaviour when DATE is either in the future or in the past
and hints at how the firmware rollout can be controlled using the
PRIORITY variable.

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
* ar71xx-generic: only create manifest alias for Rocket M5
This follow up the discussion done in #2070 by not creating a symlink
for the Rocket M5. Images for the Rocket M2 can still be flashed on a
Rocket M5.
This change will prevent the Rocket M5 from appearing in Firmware
selectors. Existing devices will still receive updates, as the device
name is still referenced for the device name expected by the M5.
Closes#2070
* docs: remove Rocket M5 from supported devices
The rewrite of the feature handling introduced multiple major bugs. One
of them was caused by the way Lua's logical operators work:
An expression of the form
_'autoupdater' and _'web-advanced'
would return 'web-advanced' rather than the boolean true when _ returned
both strings unchanged (because the features are enabled).
As entries with more than a single feature name in their expressions did
not set no_default, Gluon would then attempt to add gluon-web-advanced to
the package selection, as web-advanced is a "pure" feature.
To fix this, and get rid of the annoying nodefault, separate handling of
"pure" feature and handling of logical expressions into two separate
functions, called feature() and when(). To simplify the feature
definitions, the package list is now passed directly to these functions
rather than in a table with a single field 'packages'.
Fixes: ee5ec5afe5 ("build: rewrite features.sh in Lua")
The `features` file is converted to a Lua-based DSL.
A helper function `_` is used in the DSL; this will return the original
string for enabled features, and nil for disabled features. This allows
to use boolean operations on features without making the code too
verbose.
Besides having more readable and robust code, this also fixes the bug
that all files `packages/*/features` were evaluated instead of only
using the feature definitions of currently active feeds.
This change stores a Kernel with Debug-Symbols for the current
architecture in a new output directory '<outputdir>/debug'.
This allows a developer or operator of a network to store the kernel
along with the actual images. In case of a kernel oops the debug
information can be used with the script
'scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh' in the kernel source tree to get the
names to the symbols of the stack trace.
OpenWRT already provides the CONFIG_COLLECT_KERNEL_DEBUG -option that
creates a kernel with debug-symbols in the OpenWRT output directory.
This change enables this option and copies the generated kernel to the
gluon output directory.

This adds support for the beacon interval to be set on a per-band base.
This has the potential to reduce the amount of airtime used up for
sending beacon frames.
The 'preserve' flag can be used to mark a peer so it is not removed or
modified on upgrades. In addition, groups containing preserved peers are
not removed.
Fixes: #557
Allows reconfigurtion of remote syslog from within site.conf.
Conflicts with the gluon-web-logging package as user made changes
will be overwritten, because this package will reconfigure the syslog
destination on every upgrade.

This device has broken Ethernet on both ports.
Remove support for those devices. for now, as there was no feedback from
the original author.
Closes#1943
This package adds support for SAE on 802.11s mesh connections.
Enabling this package will require all 802.11s mesh connections
to be encrypted using the SAE key agreement scheme. The security
of SAE relies upon the authentication through a shared secret.
In the context of public mesh networks a shared secret is an
obvious oxymoron. Still this functionality provides an improvement
over unencrypted mesh connections in that it protects against a
passive attacker who did not observe the key agreement. In addition
Management Frame Protection (802.11w) gets automatically enabled on
mesh interfaces to prevent protocol-level deauthentication attacks.
If `wifi.mesh.sae` is enabled a shared secret will automatically be
derived from the `prefix6` variable. This is as secure as it gets
for a public mesh network.
For *private* mesh networks `wifi.mesh.sae_passphrase` should be
set to your shared secret.
Fixes#1636
many AVM devices do not have RESET/WPS buttons. So use the otherwise unused DECT/PHONE button to boot the device into setup mode.
This patch allows to enter the setup-mode by pressing the phone button
(often labeled as DECT) in addition to WPS and reset button.
This patch is necessary to allow supporting boards without a WPS and reset
button (e.g. AVM FRITZ!Box 7312).
This adds a warning that entprise switches with an IGMP/MLD snooping
feature are not supported yet with IGMP/MLD filtering enabled.
For this to work, firstly the Linux bridge on the Gluon node needs to
support Multicast Router Discovery (RFC4286). But this feature was only
added to the Linux kernel recently, in 5.1.
Secondly, a Gluon node would need to periodically send "Multicast Router
Advertisment" (RFC4286) messages, to "announce" the multicast router
port setting on bridge port bat0.
Thirdly, the IGMP/MLD snooping switches would need to implement
RFC4286.
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 adds documentation for the gluon-mesh-batman-adv package and
elaborates on its build and configuration options, as well as
the implemented multicast architecture.

This new build flag is mandatory for now (it may default to 0 in a future
Gluon version). It may be set to the following values:
* 0 - Do not build any images for deprecated devices.
* upgrade - Only build sysupgrade images for deprecated devices.
* full - Build both sysupgrade and factory images for deprecated devices.
"Other" images are handled like factory images, as they are also used for
the initial installation of Gluon on a device.
Add the `wifi5.outdoor_chanlist` site configuration that
allows specifying an outdoor channel range that can be
switched to for regulatory compliance.
Upon enabling the outdoor option the device will
- configure the `outdoor_chanlist` on all 5 GHz radios
- which may enable DFS/TPC, based on the regulatory domain
- disable ibss/mesh on the 5 GHz radio, as DFS *will*
break mesh connections
- allow for htmode reconfiguration on 5 GHz radios
The outdoor option can be toggled from
- Advanced Settings
- W-LAN
- Outdoor Installation
The `preserve_channel` flag overrules the outdoor channel
selection.
This reverts commit b92e404437.
Committing in this case is unnecessary as that job is already handled by 998-commit
which is in a superior position to commit, as it is run after all relevant changes to
the configuration have been made.
This backports the TP-Link Archer C50 v4.

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
