The Nokia G-240G-E is an xPON device with an EN7526G, 256M of
memory and 128M of flash. It has 1 USB2 port as well as phone and
ethernet but no wifi. Flashing instructions are per the typical
process using xmodem in the bootloader. This and other things
are described here: https://openwrt.org/inbox/toh/bt/g-240g-e_1
In addition, a generic image is offered, this image can be loaded
into memory from within the bootloader and launched directly. It
is recommended on the wiki of G-240G-E and other EcoNet devices
to be used for backing up the flash before flashing OpenWRT.

The EN751221 has an XHCI that is compatible with MT7621.
While there is setup logic in the vendor code for both
EN751221 and MT7621, but MT7621 does not use it in mainline
or OpenWRT, and it appears to work correctly with EN751221.
Include SCSI / Mass Storage because many EcoNet devices
contain a builtin USB SD-Card reader.

The kernel config accidentally contains CONFIG_UBIFS_FS_AUTHENTICATION
which select a number of other unnecessary components, remove them.
The target has at least two subtargets, only one is currently
implemented. Move the Device builds into a file for this subtarget.

The TP-Link Archer VR1200v (v2) is a low end DSL modem based on the
EcoNet EN751221 processor platform.
While it does have an unlocked bootloader, the factory upgrade feature
requires a cryptographic signature so flashing from the web UI is not
feasible.
The Archer VR1200v (v2) uses a dual-image layout. I have chosen to reuse
this to support dual-boot between OpenWRT and the factory firmware.
Flashing instructions (from bootloader):
Build and then locate the squashfs-sysupgrade.bin image file
Get the length of that file in hex: printf '%X\n' "$(stat -c%s the-file-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin)"
Connect to device with xmodem capability, e.g. picocom --send-cmd lsx -vv -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0
Switch device on and press a key within 3 seconds, you should get to a `bldr>` prompt
Type: xmdm 80020000 <file length hex>
Quickly start xmodem and send the file, in picocom that is ctrl+a ctrl+s <paste-the-file-name> enter If the transfer fails to start, wait 30 seconds to a minute for the bootloader prompt to return and then try the command again.
Once the transfer has completed successfully, type the following flash 80000 80020000 <file length hex>
Type `re` or simply restart the device to boot into OpenWRT

The SmartFiber XP8421-B is a fiber modem which is available for $20 online
and has 512MB of memory, 256MB of SPI NAND flash and 2 USB 2.0 ports in
addition to ethernet, wifi and XPON.
Because EcoNet is not currently producing evaluation boards, the XP8421-B
stands in as a convenient, low cost, off-the-shelf, representitive example
of the capabilities of the EN751221 econet processor. This is also the
example board that is included in the upstream Linux patchset.
The XP8421-B, and apparently many other devices of this platform, use a
dual-image layout. I have chosen to reuse this to support dual-boot between
OpenWRT and the factory firmware. Certain design decisions were made with
the goal of not overwriting data that is used by the factory OS.
This commit also introduces a utility for switching between OS_A and OS_B
which are used for OpenWRT and Factory OS respectively.
Flashing instructions (from bootloader):
Build and then locate the squashfs-tclinux.trx image file
Get the length of that file in hex: printf '%X\n' "$(stat -c%s the-file-squashfs-tclinux.trx)"
Connect to device with xmodem capability, e.g. picocom --send-cmd lsx -vv -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0
Switch device on and press a key within 3 seconds
Enter bootloader username and password: telecomadmin nE7jA%5m
Type: xmdm 80020000 <file length hex>
Quickly start xmodem and send the file, in picocom that is ctrl+a ctrl+s <paste-the-file-name> enter If the transfer fails to start, wait 30 seconds to a
minute for the bootloader prompt to return and then try the command again.
Once the transfer has completed successfully, type the following flash 80000 80020000 <file length hex>
Type go or simply restart the device to boot into OpenWRT

EcoNet EN75xx is a big endian MIPS platform used in XPON (fiber),
DSL, and SIM (3g/4g) applications. Complete GPL vender SDKs exist
for this platform, but are based on Linux 2.6.
The bulk of this submission has already been accepted upstream:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mips/list/?series=960479&state=*
This platform uses a bootloader that is derived from old TrendChip
code. This bootloader implements a frustratingly complex Bad Block
Table which is implemented here in en75_bmt.c
This BMT is not upstreamed because it depends on mtk_bmt framework
which likewise is not upstreamed.
This BMT system rewrites block indexes in flash and if the bootloader
considers it to be corrupted, it will attempt to automatically rebuild
on boot. So without implementing the algorithm, you can't safely use
the disk at all.
