Serge Vasilugin reports:
To improve mt7620 built-in wifi performance some changes:
1. Correct BW20/BW40 switching (see comments with mark (1))
2. Correct TX_SW_CFG1 MAC reg from v3 of vendor driver see
https://gitlab.com/dm38/padavan-ng/-/blob/master/trunk/proprietary/rt_wifi/rtpci/3.0.X.X/mt76x2/chips/rt6352.c#L531
3. Set bbp66 for all chains.
4. US_CYC_CNT init based on Programming guide, default value was 33 (pci),
set chipset bus clock with fallback to cpu clock/3.
5. Don't overwrite default values for mt7620.
6. Correct some typos.
7. Add support for external LNA:
a) RF and BBP regs never be corrected for this mode
b) eLNA is driven the same way as ePA with mt7620's pin PA
but vendor driver explicitly pin PA to gpio mode (for forrect calibration?)
so I'm not sure that request for pa_pin in dts-file will be enough
First 5 changes (really 2) improve performance for boards w/o eLNA/ePA.
Changes 7 add support for eLNA
Configuration w/o eLAN/ePA and with eLNA show results
tx/rx (from router point of view) for each stream:
35-40/30-35 Mbps for HT20
65-70/60-65 Mbps for HT40
Yes. Max results for 2T2R client is 140-145/135-140
with peaks 160/150, It correspond to mediatek driver results.

Mux the MT7530 switch's phy0/4 to the SoC's gmac1 on devices where RGMII2
pins are available. This achieves 2 Gbps total bandwidth to the CPU using
the second RGMII.
The ports called "wan" are muxed where possible. On a minority of devices,
this is not possible. Those cases:
mt7621_ampedwireless_ally-r1900k.dts: lan3
mt7621_ubnt_edgerouter-x.dts: eth0
mt7621_gnubee_gb-pc1.dts: ethblue

mt7621_tplink_eap615-wall-v1.dts: lan0
mt7621_ubnt_usw-flex.dts: lan1
The "wan" port is just what the vendor designated on the board/plastic
chasis of the device. On a technical level, there is no difference between
a lan and wan port on MT7621AT, MT7621DAT and MT7621ST SoCs. Prefer
connecting to WAN via the port described above for these devices to benefit
the feature brought with this patch.
mt7621_d-team_newifi-d2.dts cannot benefit this feature, although it looks
like it should, because the rgmii2 pins are wired to unused components.

This patch adds support for Netcore NW5212, provided by some carrier in
China.
Specifications:

* SoC: Mediatek MT7620A
* RAM: 128MB DDR2
* Flash: 16MB SPI NOR flash (Winbond W25Q128BV)
* WiFi 2.4GHz: builtin
* Ethernet: builtin
* LED: Power, WAN, LAN 1-4, WiFi
* Buttons: Reset (GPIO 13)
* UART: Serial console (57600 8n1)
* USB: 1 x USB2
Installation:
------------
The router comes with OpenWrt 14.07 built with MTK SDK. However, as the
modem is provided by carriers, so the web interface is highly minimized and
only contains a static page with no interaction options.
There are two possible ways to gain the access.
1) Open the shell and use a UART2USB convert to gain TTY access. Please
notice you have to remove resistance R54 at the back of the board
otherwise you won't be able to input anything.
2) Use built-in backdoor. Access http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/_/testxst to
start dropbear service at port 9122. Be warned the software is super
old and only diffie-hellman-group1-sha1, diffie-hellman-group14-sha1,
kexguess2@matt.ucc.asn.au is support, you may not be able to connect it
with an up-to-date ssh client.
After you can control the device, flash the firmware as usual. Here are
some hints for that.
Option 1 (via original firmware):
1) Setup HTTP server on your computer, for example:
python3 -m http.server
2) Connect to the route and flash:
cd /tmp
wget http://<your-computer-host>/<your-firmware-name>
mtd -r write <your-firmware-name> firmware
Option 2 (replacing u-boot via breed):
1) Download breed-mt7620-reset13.bin from https://breed.hackpascal.net/
2) Setup HTTP server on your computer, for example:
python3 -m http.server
You can skip this step if your breed is already accessible from HTTP,
since the original wget does not support HTTPS.
3) Connect to the route and flash breed:
cd /tmp
wget http://<your-computer-host>/breed-mt7620-reset13.bin
mtd write breed-mt7620-reset13.bin Bootloader
4) Reboot. Hold reset key or press any key in TTY to enter breed.
5) Access breed web interface (http://192.168.1.1/). Choose the flash
layout to be 0x50000 and flash new firmware.
MAC addresses:
-------------
There are three MACs stored in factory, as in MT7620A reference design:
source address usage
0x4 label WLAN
0x28 label MAC 1
0x2e label + 1 MAC 2
However, the OEM firmware only uses one single MAC (label) for all
interfaces, probably a misconfiguration.

SPECIAL NOTES:
-------------
Problem: WiFi is super weak, but SSID beacons seems to be right.
Solve: Change 36h in factory partition (namely 0xf60036) to be 0x0.
Explain: Clearly Netgear have different ideas on how EEPROM is used. Bit 2
of 36h indicates the presence of External LNA for 11g (2.4 GHz) band,
which seems to be incorrectly set by Netgear (originally 0x04). Lifting it
solves the problem of weak RX signal.
Installation:
------------
There are two possible ways to install the firmware. Flashing via web
interface of original firmware is not tested due to a broken firmware.
1) Open the shell and use a UART2USB convert to gain TTY access (TP7: RXD,
TP9: TXD, TP10: GND). Please notice you have to remove resistance R54
next to TP7 otherwise you won't be able to input anything.
2) Use well-known Netgear debug switch. Access
http://192.168.168.1/setup.cgi?todo=debug to start telnet service
(username: root, password: <none>).
Please back up firmware if you want to go back to the original.
After you can control the device, flash the firmware as usual. Here are
some hints for that.
Option 1 (via nmrpflash):
1) Download nmrpflash from https://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflash
2) Use *-factory.img and flash:
nmrpflash -L
nmrpflash -i net* -f <your-firmware-name>
3) Turn off then turn on the device, wait it finishing flash.
Option 2 (replacing u-boot via breed):
1) Download breed-mt7620-reset1.bin from https://breed.hackpascal.net/
2) Setup HTTP server on your computer, for example:
python3 -m http.server
You can skip this step if your breed is already accessible from HTTP,
since the original wget does not support HTTPS.
3) Connect to the route and flash breed:
cd /tmp
wget http://<your-computer-host>/breed-mt7620-reset1.bin
dd if=breed-mt7620-reset1.bin of=/dev/mtdblock0 bs=64k
4) Reboot. Hold reset key or press any key in TTY to enter breed.
5) Access breed web interface (http://192.168.1.1/). Choose memory layout
to be 0x40000 and flash new firmware.
Remark:
------
As a "Range Extender", it has a switch to switch between Wired mode (GPIO
21 low) and Wireless mode (GPIO 20 low), which is not implemented in this
patch. However, the router will be turned off when it switches to the
middle, which makes this switch much less useful.
MAC addresses:
-------------
The OEM firmware uses one single MAC for all interfaces, located at
0xf700b0.

Installation:
1. Update using recovery mode
- while holdig "reset" button, power on the device
- keep holding "reset" until power led is flashing yellow
- set own IP to 192.168.1.75, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
- push firmware image (can be factory.bin or sysupgrade.bin)
using tftp client in binary mode to 192.168.1.1
