Taiga Ogawa 587a1a8872 qualcommax: ipq50xx: add support for ELECOM WRC-X3000GST2
ELECOM WRC-X3000GST2 is a 2.4/5 GHz band 11ax (Wi-Fi 6) router based on
IPQ5018. The only hardware difference from the WRC-X3000GS2 is the RAM
capacity; all other peripherals are identical. This port therefore
reuses the GS2 board-2.bin (ipq-wifi-elecom_wrc-x3000gs2) and ath11k
calibration variant.

Specification:

- SoC             : Qualcomm IPQ5018
- RAM             : DDR3 512 MiB (Kingston Technology D2516ECMDXGJD)
- Flash           : SPI-NAND 128 MiB (Macronix MX35UF1G24AD-Z4I)
- WLAN            : 2.4/5 GHz 2T2R
  - 2.4 GHz       : Qualcomm IPQ5018 (SoC)
  - 5 GHz         : Qualcomm QCN6122
- Ethernet        : 5x 10/100/1000 Mbps
  - wan (phy)     : Qualcomm IPQ5018 (SoC)
  - lan (switch)  : Qualcomm Atheros QCA8337
- LEDs/Keys (GPIO): 8x / 3x (reset, WPS, router/AP slide switch)
- UART            : through-hole on PCB, 4pins near the barcode
  - assignment    : 3.3V, TX, RX, NC, GND from the barcode side
  - settings      : 115200n8
- Power           : 12 VDC, 1 A (Max. 11.5W)

Flash instruction using factory.bin image:

1. Boot WRC-X3000GST2 normally in router mode
2. Access the WebUI ("http://192.168.2.1/") and open the firmware
   update page ("ファームウェア更新")
3. Select the OpenWrt factory.bin image and click apply ("適用")
4. After the device reboots automatically, wait until the green power LED
   stops blinking and stays solid
5. When the green power LED is solid, hold the reset button until the red
   LED starts blinking to clear remaining stock firmware settings

Switching to the stock firmware:

1. Load the elecom.sh script

   . /lib/upgrade/elecom.sh

2. Check the current index of rootfs

   bootconfig_rw_index 0:bootconfig rootfs

3. Set the index to inverted value

   bootconfig_rw_index 0:bootconfig rootfs <value>
   bootconfig_rw_index 0:bootconfig1 rootfs <value>

   example:

   - step2 returned "0":

     bootconfig_rw_index 0:bootconfig rootfs 1
     bootconfig_rw_index 0:bootconfig1 rootfs 1

   - step2 returned "1":

     bootconfig_rw_index 0:bootconfig rootfs 0
     bootconfig_rw_index 0:bootconfig1 rootfs 0

4. Reboot

0x000007c00000-0x000007c80000 : "Factory"

Notes:

- This device has dual-boot feature and it's managed by the index in the
  0:bootconfig and 0:bootconfig1 partitions.

- Wi-Fi BDF is shared with WRC-X3000GS2 (ipq-wifi-elecom_wrc-x3000gs2)
  as the hardware (SoC, QCN6122, antennas) is identical between the two
  models.

- GST2 stock firmware keeps its configuration even when sysupgrade is
  called with -n. When installing from the OEM WebUI, those stock
  settings can be restored into OpenWrt overlay, so settings must be
  initialized after the first OpenWrt boot.

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).
