Flash the initramfs image in the OEM firmware interface
When Openwrt boots, flash the sysupgrade image otherwise you won't be
able to keep configuration between reboots.
In my case the whole device was locked and there was no way
to flash the image, except for flashing directly to the flash
via an spi-flasher. You need to put the sysupgrade image file at
the beginning of 0x60000.

Aligned to size of mtd-concat partition (firmware)
- in this device we have mtd-concat driver that joins multiple flash partitions
- since sysupgrade works with mtd devices the rootfs partition is already joined
- we can use a bigger sysupgrade image than factory/TFTP install images
Checked on hardware, no issues seen.
No modifications to images other than sysupgrade (i.e. TFTP / recovery images not touched).

**Return to OEM:**
Images from OEM are provided, but not compatible
with openwrt sysupgrade. So it must be modified.
Alternatively, back up all mtd partitions before flashing
**Note on switch registers:**
The necessary registers needed for the QCA8337 switch
can be read from interrupted boot (tftpboot, bootm)
by using the following lines in the switch driver ar8327.c
in the function 'ar8327_hw_config_of'
where 'qca,ar8327-initvals' is parsed from DTS
before the new register values are written:
pr_info("0x04 %08x\n", ar8xxx_read(priv, AR8327_REG_PAD0_MODE));

Add UIMAGE_NAME and UIMAGE_MAGIC to allow users to directly install
initramfs-kernel.bin from the stock firmware Web UI. At the same time,
this change makes it possible to boot OpenWrt with the official u-boot.
Notice:
Since the stock firmware is based on OpenWrt and the configuration
will be retained by default during the upgrade process, so we must use
initramfs-kernel.bin to do a initial installation. After the system
restarts, install sysupgrade.bin and do not retain any configuration.

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.

This patch adds support for Netgear PR2000, sold as "Travel Router and
Range Extender".
Specifications:
--------------
* SoC: Mediatek MT7620N
* RAM: 64MB DDR2
* Flash: 16MB SPI NOR flash (Macronix MX25L12805D)
* WiFi 2.4GHz: builtin
* Ethernet: builtin
* LED: Power, Internet, WiFi, USB
* Buttons: Reset (GPIO 1/2)
* UART: Serial console (57600 8n1)
* USB: 1 x USB2
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.
