Fixes#1084
Hardware is very similar to Archer C5v1 and C7v2.
Tested factory install and autoupdater.
IBSS Mesh on 2.4 and 5 GHz is working fine.
The only Ethernet Port is used for config mode and afterwards handled
as WAN Port.
The size of the factory images is limited to 4MB, which caused build
failures when many additional packages were included.
Rather than moving the device to ar71xx-tiny, we ignore the factory images
and just build the sysupgrade. This way, the whole flash is usable for
Gluon.
This means that installing Gluon on these devices will now require to flash
a plain LEDE image first, and then upgrading using the Gluon sysupgrade
image.
Fixes#1020
The GLUON_ATH10K_MESH must be set to 11s or ibss; when it is not set,
ath10k device images won't be built at all. This also allows us to remove
the BROKEN flag for ath10k devices, as the GLUON_ATH10K_MESH variable is
sufficient to avoid ath10k devices if desired.
Fixes#864
The MR1750 and OM5P-AC devices are based on ath9k SoCs and an external
ath10k chip. All devices which are using ath10k should be marked as broken
due to deficits in their IBSS support.

Generate flashable images for the Archer C7 v2 with current stock firmware
again.
To set the region code, the GLUON_REGION variable must be set to "us" or
"eu" in site.mk or as a make argument.
Fixes#860
This patchset enables the RX LNA for the CPE210/510, improving RX by about
20dB. The profiles for CPE210 and CPE510 is split into two images.
The problematic patch switching the CPE510 to the secondary ART is left
out.
I've bought a couple of those devices from Senetic GmbH.
https://www.senetic.de/product/TL-WR842N
They have 16 MB of Flash and 64 MB of RAM. Platform support works fine,
I've also tested a little with Ethernet (since I saw some regressions on
OpenWRT/LEDE with 841v11), no problems.
Therefore, lets remove the broken mark.

This patchset enables the RX LNA for the CPE210/510, improving RX by about
20dB. The profiles for CPE210 and CPE510 is split into two images, so the
CPE510 can use the correct ART offset, improving the TX power by 10dB.
Fixes#796
The returned name for OpenMesh devices with a an extra vX when calling
lua -e 'print(require("platform_info").get_image_name())'
doesn't contain a dash between the vX and the device name. Thus the image
should also not contain a dash.

The workaround to generate sysupgrade images for OpenMesh devices in gluon
is replaced in LEDE/OpenWrt by a special patch. It is therefore better to
drop the workaround and use the upstream version.

Device information can be found at:
http://www.8devices.com/products/carambola-2https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/8devices/carambola2
I only did some minimal testing of gluon on the carambola 2 development
board:
- Config mode works
- Connects to Wifi Mesh
- Allows clients to connect
Notably, autoupgrade has not yet been tested.
Change to 010-primary-mac is necessary as the mac address printed
on the sticker is the one of eth0, not the wifi mac.
OpenWRT now supports the CISCO Meraki enterprise class routers
MR12, MR16, MR62 and MR66. The fabric firmware demands the yearly
renewal of a support license.
This firmware was successfully tested by @Garunda for the MR62 (and
the MR12 with it for which this is an alias). The initial firmware
pre OpenWRT adoption was prepared and adapted for Gluon by @tcatm.
The confirmation of the functionality of the image for the MR66
(and the aliased MR16 with it) is still pending.
The devices are of strategic interest to the Freifunk community as
they are making a rock-solid impression. However, these come with
fairly hefty annual license. The Freifunk may offer an escape route
for those who had signed up and want to keep their investment into the
similarly expensive hardware. Used evices sell for $60 on eBay/Amazon
in the US. Here in the old world it is all >300 €, still.
Credits go to @Garunda for testing, to @tcatm for finding the
OpenWRT patch prior to its adoption and preparing the initial Gluon
adaptation, to @smoe for the update once that patch had arrived in
OpenWRT, and to @NeoRaider for his review and advice to use
GluonModelAlias for MR62 and MR66 to point to MR12 and MR16,
respectively.
The Hornet UB is sold at least in the varieties. Without case it is a Hornet UB, with case and without connected USB port it is called AP121. If the USB port is present this device is called AP121U.
We have a AP121U in our mesh http://meshviewer.chemnitz.freifunk.net/#!v:m;n:00c0ca6efffa
Tests done to verify that this worked as intended:
* checked plattform_info image_name
* checked primary_mac
* does appear in ffmap-d3
* does mesh
* does fastd-VPN
Also
* create list of newly supported devices since v2015.1.2 in the v2015.2 release notes
* update information on docs/user/x86
* fix a comment in targets/ar71xx-generic/profiles.mk
We can't use the same image for these two devices, so as a workaround,
remove ZR-600DHP from the name for now, so the autoupdater can work and
users aren't confused.
Config for rootfs and grub is not needed anymore (https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/18074)
Config file not needed anymore (set implicitly by gluon now)
Avoid empty vars
The file targets/$GLUON_TARGET/config becomes optional, as many targets
only used it to set the board and subtarget.
Also fix targets without subtarget.
With a backported patch from the OpenWrt trunk, it is now easy to generate an
equivalent configuration using CONFIG_ALL_KMODS.
The build will take a bit longer because all kernel module packages are actually
built even when they are not included in the image, but adding new targets
becomes a lot easier.
Also, related documentation updates and fixes.
Built, flashed and successully tested. This patch takes advantage of patch freifunk-gluon@e93173c which solved issue freifunk-gluon#226 by introducing "GluonProfileFactorySuffix". Packages are separated by a space, not a comma. The ALL0315N initially has a OpenWRT based firmware and there is no need for a factory image. The sysupgrade can be flashed instantly.
This still needs some work:
- there's no factory image causing `make images` to fail
- VoCore can not support BSS and IBSS at the same time
- multi-BSS mode (e.g. mesh + BSS) works if the macs only
differ in the last 3 bits. Gluon expects to choose both MACs freely,
though, so after flashing the image one should reset the wifi MACs.
This is further complicated as VoCores have their MACs assigned
without gaps making collisions likely.
- there are no buttons nor ethernet ports (without the dock, that is),
so config-mode will not be possible as is

I have this little gadget. I've build gluon for this target and it seems that everything works well. Using this thing in the Stuttgart community (currently testing gluon).
