it is possible to boot and run OpenWrt from an image on an USB-Stick
on the MyBook Live DUO. (No, the MyBook Live Single does NOT have an
USB-Port and attempts at enabling it sadly all failed... so far).
To do that:
First, prepare a USB-Stick by writing the raw and uncompressed OpenWRT
factory image for the device onto the stick (i.e.
# gunzip -c openwrt-*wd_mybooklive*-factory.img.gz > /dev/sd$XX).
Then enter the u-boot via an attached TTL/CMOS 3.3V cable adapter and
give the following commands a try in the:
usb start; sata init
ext2load usb 0:1 ${fdt_addr_r} /boot/apollo3g.dtb
ext2load usb 0:1 ${kernel_addr_r} /boot/uImage
setenv bootargs 'root=/dev/sdc2 rw rootfstype=squashfs,ext4 rootdelay=5'
run addtty; bootm ${kernel_addr_r} - ${fdt_addr_r}
Notes:
- booting from USB-Sticks takes a long time! Be prepared to wait a few
minutes. (~3 minutes for 4 MiB /boot/uImage file on a USB 2.0 Stick)
- the bootargs part 'root=/dev/sdX2' depends on how many HDDs/SSDs are
slotted in. (if none: then use sda, if one: sdb. if two: sdc)
- rootdelay is important as the storage on the USB-Sticks do not show
up fast enough. 5 seconds might be excessive though.
- it's possible to concat these commands together in one line and
write it into u-boot's "bootcmd" environment variable and save the
environment to make the device to always boot from USB from then on.
if you have accidentally overridden the 'bootcmd' and want to return
to 'spec' enter the following commands :
setenv bootcmd 'run boot_sata_script_ap2nc'
saveenv

Note about the MyBook Live.
The MyBook Live didn't have the encompassing fixed-partitions.
This is needed for the u-boot,env compatible to be read as otherwise
the kernel assumes this is a legacy NOR/NAND node and this binding
is unsupported.

prepend-dtb got extended to handle the Meraki devices too,
the problem here was that the Netgear WNDR4700 expects an
u-boot header in front of the DTB, whereas Meraki devices
don't.
Since the header was dropped, the WNDR4700's uboot started
to complain:
Bad Magic Number,it is forbidden to be written to flash!!
when flashing the factory.img since it expects an u-boot
header there.

Make the crypto4xx crypto accelerator support as a standalone module.

In order to cut down on the Netgear WNDR4700, the ata
driver can be outsourced. This helps other apm821xx
devices too to save up on kernel size (~200 kb).

All targets are bumped to 5.15. Remove the old 5.10 patches, configs

libdeflate's gzip compressor provides a better
compression ratio and uboot's decompressor has
no problem with the data streams.
