David Berdik a07f62f65a mediatek/filogic: add support for COMFAST CF-XR186
The COMFAST CF-XR186 is a WiFi repeater. The original OEM firmware is a
fork of OpenWrt 21.02.

To replace the OEM firmware with OpenWrt, flash the sysupgrade image
through the firmware upgrade option via the OEM firmware's web UI.
The OEM firmware upgrade page does not provide an option to perform a
factory reset, so after the flash completes and the device reboots,
perform a reset by holding in the WPS/Reset button until the WiFi
LED flashes red.

The led-boot, led-failsafe, led-upgrade, and led-running aliases all
point at the red WLAN GPIO LED.

The green and blue WLAN GPIO LEDs are used to indicate activity on the
2.4GHz and 5GHz radios. 01_leds assigns netdev triggers for those LEDs
to phy0-ap0 and phy1-ap0 respectively; if neither AP interface exists
(e.g. station-only repeater setups), both LEDs stay dark even when WiFi
traffic is flowing.

Specifications:
- SoC: MediaTek MT7981B
- RAM: 256MB
- Flash: SPI NAND
- WiFi: 2.4GHz + 5GHz (AX3000, 4x 3dBi antennas)
- Ethernet: 1x 10/100/1000M
- LEDs: power (not controllable), blue Ethernet, blue/green/red WiFi
- Button: WPS/Reset
- Power: 100-240V AC (wall plug)
- UART: 115200 8N1

MAC Addresses:
- LAN   : 40:A5:EF:xx:xx:2D (Factory, 0xe000)
- 2.4GHz: 40:A5:EF:xx:xx:2F (Factory, 0x0004)
- 5GHz  : 40:A5:EF:xx:xx:30 (Factory, 0x8000)

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).
