Eric Schäfer 401c0a03f1 qualcommax: ipq807x: add support for Zyxel NWA210AX
The Zyxel NWA210AX is a wall- and ceiling-mountable access point (AP).

Hardware specifications:
- SoC: Qualcomm IPQ8071A
- RAM: 1 GB (Samsung K4A8G165WC-BCTD)
- Flash: 8 MB (Winbond W25Q64DW), 256 MB (Winbond W29N02GZ)
- Ethernet: 1x 2.5 Gbps RJ45 port (QCA8081), 1x 1 Gbps RJ45 port (AR8033)
- WiFi: 2.4 GHz 802.11ax/b/g/n (QCN5024), 5 GHz 802.11 ac/ax/n (QCN5054)
- Power: DC 12V/PoE 802.3at
- Button: Reset
- LEDs: Multicolour red/green/blue/white via LP5562

Installation/flashing instructions:
1. In OEM web interface navigate to gear icon → System → SSH and enable SSH.
2. Log in via SSH (username/password are the same as for the web interface).
3. Run "debug dual-image show".
4. Verify that output is "Current Image num: 1".
5. If this is not the case (i.e. if the output is "Current Image num: 0"):
   a. Either flash a fresh version of factory firmware, or
   b. run "debug dual-image set boot-image image1" and then run "reboot".
6. Log in via SSH again and verify that output is "Current Image num: 1".
7. Rename "openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-zyxel_nwa210ax-squashfs-factory.bin" to
   "openwrt.bin" to avoid upload errors in the OEM web interface.
8. Reopen OEM web interface, navigate to wrench icon → File Manager →
   Firmware Package and upload the bin file. Once the upgrade process is
   finished and OpenWrt has booted, the LED will light up green.

Switching between OpenWrt and OEM firmware:
- OpenWrt → Zyxel via ssh command "zyxel-bootconfig-ipq807x set image1".
- Zyxel → OpenWrt via ssh command "debug dual-image set boot-image image0".

OpenWrt logo

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Sunshine!

Download

Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.

If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.

An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:

Development

To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or macOS system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.

Requirements

You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.

binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.7+ rsync subversion unzip which

Quickstart

  1. Run ./scripts/feeds update -a to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

  2. Run ./scripts/feeds install -a to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/

  3. Run make menuconfig to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

  4. Run make to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.

The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.

  • LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.

  • OpenWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.

  • OpenWrt Routing: Packages specifically focused on (mesh) routing.

  • OpenWrt Video: Packages specifically focused on display servers and clients (Xorg and Wayland).
