ramips-mt7621: add support for Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Lite (#2310)
Hardware
--------
MediaTek MT7621AT
256M DDR3
32M SPI-NOR
MediaTek MT7603 2T2R 802.11n 2.4GHz
MediaTek MT7915 2T2R 802.11ax 5GHz

Not Working
-----------
 - Bluetooth (connected to UART3)

UART
----

UART is located in the lower left corner of the board. Pinout is

0 - 3V3 (don't connect)
1 - RX
2 - TX
3 - GND

Console is 115200 8N1.

Boot
----

1. Connect to the serial console and connect power.

2. Double-press ESC when prompted

3. Set the fdt address

   $ fdt addr $(fdtcontroladdr)

4. Remove the signature node from the control FDT

   $ fdt rm /signature

5. Transfer and boot the OpenWrt initramfs image to the device.
   Make sure to name the file C0A80114.img and have it reachable at
   192.168.1.1/24

   $ tftpboot; bootm

Installation
------------

1. Connect to the booted device at 192.168.1.20 using username/password
   "ubnt".

2. Update the bootloader environment.

   $ fw_setenv devmode TRUE
   $ fw_setenv boot_openwrt "fdt addr \$(fdtcontroladdr);
     fdt rm /signature; bootubnt"
   $ fw_setenv bootcmd "run boot_openwrt"

3. Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the device using SCP.

4. Check the mtd partition number for bs / kernel0 / kernel1

   $ cat /proc/mtd

5. Set the bootselect flag to boot from kernel0

   $ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=1 of=/dev/mtdblock4

6. Write the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to both kernel0 as well as kernel1

   $ dd if=openwrt.bin of=/dev/mtdblock6
   $ dd if=openwrt.bin of=/dev/mtdblock7

7. Reboot the device. It should boot into OpenWrt.

Build Gluon License GitHub release (latest SemVer)

Gluon

Gluon is a firmware framework to build preconfigured OpenWrt images for public mesh networks.

Getting started

We have a huge amount of documentation over at https://gluon.readthedocs.io/.

If you're new to Gluon and ready to get your feet wet, have a look at the Getting Started Guide.

Gluon's developers frequent an IRC chatroom at #gluon on hackint. There is also a webchat that allows for uncomplicated access from within your browser.

Issues & Feature requests

Before opening an issue, make sure to check whether any existing issues (open or closed) match. If you're suggesting a new feature, drop by on IRC or our mailinglist to discuss it first.

We maintain a Roadmap for the future development of Gluon.

Use a release!

Please refrain from using the master branch for anything else but development purposes! Use the most recent release instead. You can list all releases by running git tag and switch to one by running git checkout v2021.1 && make update.

If you're using the autoupdater, do not autoupdate nodes with anything but releases. If you upgrade using random master commits the nodes might break eventually.
