Add build for the MTK3943 reference board for MT7981B+MT7976C.
**Hardware specification:**
- SoC: MediaTek MT7981B 2x A53
- Flash: various options
- RAM: 256MB DDR3
- Ethernet: 4 x 10/100/1000 Mbps via MT7531AE switch
EITHER 1 x 10/100/1000 Mbps built-in PHY
OR 1 x 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps MaxLinear GPY211C
- Switch: MediaTek MT7531AE
- WiFi: MediaTek MT7976C
- Button: RST, WPS
**Flash instructions for SPIM-NAND:**
- write *mt7981-rfb-spim-nand-preloader.bin to 'BL2' partition
- write *mt7981-rfb-spim-nand-bl31-uboot.fip to 'FIP' partition
- erase 'ubi' partition
- reset board
- create ubootenv and ubootenv2 UBI volumes in U-Boot
- edit environment and set bootcmd, e.g.
setenv bootconf 'config-1#mt7981-rfb-spim-nand#mt7981-rfb-mxl-2p5g-phy-eth1'
setenv bootcmd 'ubi read $loadaddr fit; bootm $loadaddr#$bootconf'
- load initramfs image via TFTP:
setenv serverip 192.168.1.254
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
setenv bootfile openwrt-mediatek-filogic-mediatek_mt7981-rfb-initramfs.itb
saveenv ; saveenv
tftpboot
bootm $loadaddr#$bootconf
- Now use sysupgrade to write OpenWrt firmware to flash.
SNFI-NAND, SPIM-NOR and eMMC all work very similar, a bootable SD card image
is also being generated. However, as the board I've been provided only comes
with SPIM-NAND all other boot media are untested.

Switch to OpenWrt uImage.FIT bootmethod and include various bootloader

Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org>
(cherry picked from commit 035a88ae55)
Enable building a factory image which can be flashed through the OEM
firmware's web interface. It seems that the web interface requires a
minimum file size of 10MiB, otherwise it will not accept the image.
The update image is a regular sysupgrade tarball packed in a Netgear
encrypted image. The Netgear encrypted image is the same as used in
WAX202 or WAX206, including the encryption keys and IV.
This adds a script which creates the rootfs_data volume on first
startup. This is required since the OEM firmware's sysupgrade scripts
do not create such a paritition. Note that any script ordered after
70_initramfs_test will not get executed on initramfs. Hence this new
script 75_rootfs_prepare won't create the rootfs_data volume when
using the recovery initramfs.
Also, this deletes the kernel_backup and rootfs_backup volumes in case
we have to create the rootfs_data volumes. This makes sure that
OpenWrt is the actual backup firmware instead of the stock firmware.

nanddump -f /tmp/KF.bin /dev/mtd12
```
Then, transfer them to your computer via scp, netcat, tftp
or others and keep them in a safe place.
3. Setup Nvram
Get the current stock: `cat /proc/cmdline`
If you find `firmware=0` or `mtd=ubi`, use these commands:
```
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set uart_en=1
nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=1
nvram set flag_last_success=1
nvram set flag_boot_success=1
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=0
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
```
If you find `firmware=1` or `mtd=ubi1`, use these commands:
```
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set uart_en=1
nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=0
nvram set flag_last_success=0
nvram set flag_boot_success=1
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=0
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=0
nvram commit
```
4. Flash stock-initramfs-factory.ubi
If you find `firmware=0` or `mtd=ubi`:
`ubiformat /dev/mtd9 -y -f /tmp/stock-initramfs-factory.ubi`
If you find `firmware=1` or `mtd=ubi1`:
`ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y -f /tmp/stock-initramfs-factory.ubi`
Then reboot your router, it should boot to the openwrt
initramfs system now.
5. Setup uboot-env
Now it will be setup automatically in upgrade process,
you can skip this step.
If your `fw_setenv` did not work, you need run this command:
`echo "/dev/mtd1 0x0 0x10000 0x20000" > /etc/fw_env.config`
Then setup uboot-env:
```
fw_setenv boot_wait on
fw_setenv uart_en 1
fw_setenv flag_boot_rootfs 0
fw_setenv flag_last_success 1
fw_setenv flag_boot_success 1
fw_setenv flag_try_sys1_failed 8
fw_setenv flag_try_sys2_failed 8
fw_setenv mtdparts "nmbm0:1024k(bl2),256k(Nvram),256k(Bdata),

34816k(ubi),34816k(ubi1),32768k(overlay),12288k(data),256k(KF)"
```
6. Flash stock-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Use shell command:
`sysupgrade -n /tmp/stock-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin`
Or go to luci web.
If you need to change to Openwrt U-Boot layout, do next. If you
do not need, please ignore it.
Change to OpenWrt U-Boot:
1. Flash ubootmod-initramfs-factory.ubi
Check mtd partitions: `cat /proc/mtd`
```
mtd7: 00040000 00020000 "KF"
mtd8: 02200000 00020000 "ubi_kernel"
mtd9: 04e00000 00020000 "ubi"
```
Run following command:
`ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y -f /tmp/ubootmod-initramfs-factory.ubi`
Then reboot your router, it should boot to the openwrt initramfs
system now.
2. Check mtd again
```
mtd7: 00040000 00020000 "KF"
mtd8: 07000000 00020000 "ubi"
```
Make sure mtd8 is ubi.
3. Install kmod-mtd-rw
Run command: `opkg update && opkg install kmod-mtd-rw`
Or get it in openwrt server, or build it yourself, then install
it manually
Then run this command:
`insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/mtd-rw.ko i_want_a_brick=1`
4. Clean up pstore
Run Command: `rm -f /sys/fs/pstore/*`
5. Format ubi and create new ubootenv volume
```

Installation Web-UI
-------------------
Upload the Factory image using the devices Web-Interface.
As the device uses a dual-image partition layout, OpenWrt can only
installed on Slot A. This requires the current active image prior
flashing the device to be on Slot B.
In case this is not the case, OpenWrt will boot only one time, returning
to the ZyXEL firmware the second boot.
If this happens, first install a ZyXEL firmware upgrade of any version
and install OpenWrt after that.
Installation TFTP / Recovery
----------------------------
This installation routine is especially useful in case of a bricked
device.
Attach to the UART console header of the device. Interrupt the boot
procedure by pressing Enter.
The bootloader has a reduced command-set available from CLI, but more
commands can be executed by abusing the atns command.
Boot a OpenWrt initramfs image available on a TFTP server at
192.168.1.66. Rename the image to nwa50axpro-openwrt-initramfs.bin.
$ atnf nwa50axpro-openwrt-initramfs.bin
$ atna 192.168.1.88
$ atns "192.168.1.66; tftpboot; setenv fdt_high 0xffffffffffffffff;
bootm"
Upon booting, set the booted image to the correct slot:
$ zyxel-bootconfig /dev/mtd9 get-status
$ zyxel-bootconfig /dev/mtd9 set-image-status 0 valid
$ zyxel-bootconfig /dev/mtd9 set-active-image 0
Copy the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the device using scp.
Write the sysupgrade image to NAND using sysupgrade.
$ sysupgrade -n image.bin

+--- Don't connect
The R3 (TX line) and R6 (RX line) are absent on the PCB. You should
solder them or solder the jumpers.
Installation (UART)
-------------------
1. Place OpenWrt initramfs image on tftp server with IP 192.168.1.2
2. Attach UART, switch on the router and interrupt the boot process by
pressing 'Ctrl-C'
3. Load and run OpenWrt initramfs image:
tftpboot initramfs-kernel.bin
bootm
4. Once inside OpenWrt, set / update env variables:
fw_setenv baudrate 115200
fw_setenv bootargs "ubi.mtd=ubi0 console=ttyS0,115200n1 loglevel=8 earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0x11002000 init=/etc/preinit"
fw_setenv fdtcontroladdr 5ffc0e70
fw_setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
fw_setenv loadaddr 0x46000000
fw_setenv mtdids "spi-nand0=spi-nand0"
fw_setenv mtdparts "spi-nand0:2M(boot),1M(u-boot-env),50M(ubi0),50M(ubi1),8M(userconfig),4M(tp_data)"
fw_setenv netmask 255.255.255.0
fw_setenv serverip 192.168.1.2
fw_setenv stderr serial@11002000
fw_setenv stdin serial@11002000
fw_setenv stdout serial@11002000
fw_setenv tp_boot_idx 0
5. Run 'sysupgrade -n' with the sysupgrade OpenWrt image
Installation (without UART)
---------------------------
1. Login as root via SSH (router IP, port 20001, password - your web
interface password)
2. Open for editing /etc/hotplug.d/iface/65-iptv (e.g., using WinSCP and
SSH settings from the p.1)
3. Add a newline after "#!/bin/sh":
telnetd -l /bin/login.sh
4. Save "65-iptv" file
5. Toggle "IPTV/VLAN Enable" checkbox in the router web interface and
save
6. Make sure that telnetd is running:
netstat -ltunp | grep 23
7. Login via telnet to router IP, port 23 (no username and password are
required)
8 Upload OpenWrt "initramfs-kernel.bin" to the "/tmp" folder of the
router (e.g., using WinSCP and SSH settings from the p.1)
9. Stock busybox doesn't contain ubiupdatevol command. Hence, we need to
download and upload the full version of busybox to the router. For
example, from here:
https://github.com/xerta555/Busybox-Binaries/raw/master/busybox-arm64
Upload busybox-arm64 to the /tmp dir of the router and run:
in the telnet shell:
cd /tmp
chmod a+x busybox-arm64
10. Check "initramfs-kernel.bin" size:
du -h initramfs-kernel.bin
11. Delete old and create new "kernel" volume with appropriate size
(greater than "initramfs-kernel.bin" size):
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 1 -N kernel -s 9MiB
12. Write OpenWrt "initramfs-kernel.bin" to the flash:
./busybox-arm64 ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_1 /tmp/initramfs-kernel.bin
13. u-boot-env can be empty so lets create it (or overwrite it if it
already exists) with the necessary values:
fw_setenv baudrate 115200
fw_setenv bootargs "ubi.mtd=ubi0 console=ttyS0,115200n1 loglevel=8 earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0x11002000 init=/etc/preinit"
fw_setenv fdtcontroladdr 5ffc0e70
fw_setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
fw_setenv loadaddr 0x46000000
fw_setenv mtdids "spi-nand0=spi-nand0"
fw_setenv mtdparts "spi-nand0:2M(boot),1M(u-boot-env),50M(ubi0),50M(ubi1),8M(userconfig),4M(tp_data)"
fw_setenv netmask 255.255.255.0
fw_setenv serverip 192.168.1.2
fw_setenv stderr serial@11002000
fw_setenv stdin serial@11002000
fw_setenv stdout serial@11002000
fw_setenv tp_boot_idx 0
14. Reboot to OpenWrt initramfs:
reboot
15. Login as root via SSH (IP 192.168.1.1, port 22)
16. Upload OpenWrt sysupgrade.bin image to the /tmp dir of the router
17. Run sysupgrade:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/sysupgrade.bin
Recovery
--------
1. Press Reset button and power on the router
2. Navigate to U-Boot recovery web server (http://192.168.1.1/) and
upload the OEM firmware
Recovery (UART)
---------------
1. Place OpenWrt initramfs image on tftp server with IP 192.168.1.2
2. Attach UART, switch on the router and interrupt the boot process by
pressing 'Ctrl-C'
3. Load and run OpenWrt initramfs image:
tftpboot initramfs-kernel.bin
bootm
4. Do what you need (restore partitions from a backup, install OpenWrt
etc.)
Stock layout
------------
0x000000000000-0x000000200000 : "boot"
0x000000200000-0x000000300000 : "u-boot-env"
