Add u-boot support based on the kernel dts introduced in d1016446 and
the GL-MT6000 u-boot support in fe10f974.
The pcie-mediatek-gen3 kernel driver doesn't like hotplug, so to work in
PCIe mode, the 5G modem on this device needs to be switched on by u-boot
before starting the kernel. Include an init_modem step in the boot_system
action to set the relevant gpios. (The factory bootloader does the same,
using Mediatek SDK-specific gpio_power_clr and gpio_pull_up.)
Ideally the modem would be started using gpio-hog in the device tree, but
this will need to wait until mediatek gpio-hog support is fixed upstream:
https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/6ef2583e85eea60560d7776377d662779e7c44e5.1722419839.git.chris@arachsys.com/
The bootloader can be replaced using the built-in web interface of the
factory bootloader. Hold the reset button for five seconds while powering
on the device and it will boot into a recovery http server.
http://192.168.1.1/uboot.html and http://192.168.1.1/bl2.html can then
be used to upload openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-x3000-bl31-uboot.fip
and openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-x3000-preloader.bin respectively.
Alternatively, from a root shell on the running system, unlock the boot
partition with
echo 0 >/sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro
then write openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-x3000-bl31-uboot.fip to
/dev/mmcblk0p4 and openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-x3000-preloader.bin
to /dev/mmcblk0boot0.

Specification:
- MT7629 CPU
- MT7531 switch
- MT7761N and MT7762N wifi
- 256 MB RAM
- 128 MB NAND flash with dual-boot partitions
- 2 buttons: WPS and reset
- 1 WAN port (1G)
- 4 LAN ports (1G)
- 1 USB port
Limitations (same as other MT7629/MT7761N/MT7762N devices):
- Wifi is not working
- Second core is not working (kernel error message "CPU1: failed to come online")
Disassembly:
- There are two screws under the front rubber feet and two under the label on the bottom (in the corners towards the back, you should be able to feel them).
Serial Interface:
- UART pin header is already soldered on the board. Pinning from front to back:
1 - VCC
2 - TX
3 - RX
4 - n/a
5 - GND
GPIO:
- 1 white LED, connected to GPIO 52
- 1 reset button, connected to GPIO 60
- 1 WPS button, connected to GPIO 58
MAC Adresses:
- The MAC address printed on the device label is used for LAN and WAN
- The MAC address is stored in the devinfo partition in ASCII format (hw_mac_addr=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee)
- 2.4 GHz wifi uses MAC of the device label + 1
- 5 GHz wifi uses MAC of the device label + 2
Flashing:
- OpenWrt is only runnig in the first partition of dual boot
- To ensure to be able to go back to the factory image, flash the last OEM firmware via OEM web interface. This will ensure that the OEM firmware is present on both partitions
- Because of dual boot partitions, flashing via OEM interface is not supported
- Start a TFTP server and provide the initramfs image. Default settings:
- Router IP: 192.168.1.1
- TFTP server IP: 192.168.1.100
- TFTP file name: 7531.bin
- Open the device, connect UART and select " 1. System Load Linux to SDRAM via TFTP." during startup
- Adapt the settings to your environment, if required
- After initramfs is booted, flash the sysupgrade image
Return to OEM firmware:
- Run the following commands in OpenWrt to switch to the second partition
fw_setenv boot_part 2
fw_setenv bootimage 2
- Reboot the device. OEM firmware will start up again

Disassemble: rm the 2 screws at the bottom and the one at the backside.
un-clip the case starting at the edge above the LEDs.
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 openwrt-mediatek-filogic-tplink_re6000xd-initramfs-kernel.bin bootm
4. Run 'sysupgrade -n' with the sysupgrade OpenWrt image
Notice: while I was successfull at activating ssh (as described
here:
https://www.lisenet.com/2023/gaining-ssh-access-to-tp-link-re200-wi-fi-range-extender/)
Unfortunately I haven't found the correct root password.
Looks like they are using a static password
(md5crypt, salt + 21 characters) that is not the web
interface admin password.
The TP-LINK RE900XD looks like the very same device,
according to the pictures and the firmware.
But I haven't checked if the OpenWrt firmware works as well
on that device.
The second ubi partition (ubi1) is empty and there is no known
dual-partition mechanism, neither in u-boot nor in the stock firmware.

- remove the (3) screws holding the heat shield
- solder UART pins to the back of the board
- make sure to have the pins point out on side with the black, finned heat spread
- the markings for the pins are going to be below the silver heat shield
- Vcc is not needed
If you don't intend on using the UART outside of the installation process, you might not
want to solder:
- carefully scrape off the thin layer of epoxy on the holes (not the copper)
- place your pin header with the UART attached in the holes
- the pins, starting with the one closest to the socket:
- Vcc (not required)
- GND
- RX
- TX
- either wedge the header or hold it with your fingers so that the pins stay in contact with the board
Installation (UART):
- attach an Ethernet cable to the 1Gbps port (black) on the router
- hold the reset button while powering the router
- press CTRL-C or wait for the timeout to get to the U-Boot prompt
- prepare a TFTP server on the network to supply ..-initramfs-kernel.bin
- use 'tftpboot' in the U-Boot shell to pull the image
- boot the image using 'bootm'
- push the ..-sysupgrade to the router using your preferred method
- perform the upgrade with 'sysupgrade -n'
There is a recovery mechanism that involves fetching a file called 'recovery.bin' but that is not understood yet.

Installation:
The installation must be done via TFTP by disassembling the router. On other occasions Cudy has distributed intermediate firmware to make installation easier, and so I recommend checking the Wiki for this device if there is a more convenient solution than the one below.
To install using TFTP:
1. Connect to UART.
2. With the router off, press the RESET button. While the router is turning on, the button should continue to be pressed for at least 5 seconds.
3. A u-boot shell will automatically open.
4. Connect to LAN and set your IP to 192.168.1.88/24. Configure a TFTP server and an OpenWrt initramfs-kernel.bin firmware file.
5. Run these steps in u-boot using the name of your file.
setenv bootfile initramfs-kernel.bin
tftpboot
bootm
6. If you can reach LuCI or SSH now, just use the sysupgrade image with the 'Keep settings' option turned off.

This adds support for the bpi-r4 variant with internal 2.5G PHY and
additional ethernet port instead of second sfp.
