Daniel Golle 0235186182 mediatek: add alternative UBI NAND layout for Linksys E8450 
The vendor flash layout of the Linksys E8450 is problematic as it uses
the SPI-NAND chip without any wear-leveling while at the same time
wasting a lot of space for padding.
Use an all-UBI layout instead, storing the kernel+dtb+squashfs in
uImage.FIT standard format in UBI volume 'fit', the read-write
overlay in UBI volume 'rootfs_data' as well as reduntant U-Boot
environments 'ubootenv' and 'ubootenv2', and a 'recovery'
kernel+dtb+initramfs uImage.FIT for dual-boot.

** WARNING **
THIS PROCEDURE CAN EASILY BRICK YOUR DEVICE PERMANENTLY IF NOT CARRIED
OUT VERY CAREFULLY AND EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED!

Step 0

 * Configure your PC to have the static IPv4 address 192.168.1.254/24
 * Provide bin/targets/mediatek/mt7622 via TFTP

Now continue EITHER with step 1A or 1B, depending on your preference
(and on having serial console wired up or not).

Step 1A (Using the vendor web interface (or non-UBI OpenWrt install))

In order to update to the new bootloader and UBI-based firmware,
use the web browser of your choice to open the routers web-interface
accessible on http://192.168.1.1

 * Navigate to
   'Configuration' -> 'Administration' -> 'Firmware Upgrade'

 * Upload the file
    openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-initramfs-recovery.itb
   and proceed with the upgrade.

 * Once OpenWrt comes up, use SCP to upload the new bootloader files to
   /tmp on the router:
    *-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-preloader.bin
    *-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-bl31-uboot.fip

 * Connect via SSH as you will now need to replace the bootloader in
   the Flash.

    ssh root@192.168.1.1
    (the usual warnings)

 * First of all, backup all the flash now:

    for mtd in /dev/mtdblock*; do
     dd if=$mtd of=/tmp/$(basename $mtd);
    done

 * Then use SCP to copy /tmp/mtdblock* from the router and keep them
   safe. You will need them should you ever want to return to the
   factory firmware!

 * Now flow the uploaded files:
    mtd -e /dev/mtd0 write /tmp/*linksys_e8450-ubi-preloader.bin /dev/mtd0
    mtd -e /dev/mtd1 write /tmp/*linksys_e8450-ubi-bl31-uboot.fip /dev/mtd1

   If and only if both writes look like the completed successfully
   reboot the router. Now continue with step 2.

Step 1B (Using the vendor bootloader serial console)

 * Use the serial to backup all /dev/mtd* devices before using the
   stock firmware (you got root shell when connected to serial).

 * Then reboot and select 'U-Boot Console' in the boot menu.

 * Copy the following lines, one by one:

tftpboot 0x40080000 openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-preloader.bin
tftpboot 0x40100000 openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-bl31-uboot.fip
nand erase 0x0 0x180000
nand write 0x40080000 0x0 0x180000
reset

Now continue with step 2

Step 2

Once the new bootchain comes up, the loader will initialize UBI and the
ubootenv volumes. It will then of course fail to find any bootable
volume and hence resort to load kernel via TFTP from server
192.168.1.254 while giving itself the address 192.168.1.1

The requested file is called
openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-initramfs-recovery.itb
and your TFTP server should provide exactly that :)
It will be written to UBI as recovery image and booted.
You can then continue and flash the production OS image, either
by using sysupgrade in the booted initramfs recovery OS, or by using
the bootloader menu and TFTP.

That's it. Go ahead and mess around with a bootchain built almost
completely from source (only DRAM calibration blobs are fitted in bl2,
and the irreplacable on-chip ROM loader remains, of course).
And enjoy U-Boot built with many great features out-of-the-box.

You can access the bootloader environment from within OpenWrt using the
'fw_printenv' and 'fw_setenv' commands. Don't be afraid, once you got
the new bootchain installed the device should be fairly unbrickable
(holding reset button before and during power-on resets things and
allows reflashing recovery image via TFTP)

Special thanks to @dvn0 (Devan Carpenter) for providing amazingly fast
infra for test-builds, allowing for `make clean ; make -j$(nproc)` in
less than two minutes :)

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!

Development

To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX 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.

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

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.

Related Repositories

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.
