It's a 4G Cat.20 router used by Vodafone Italy (called Vodafone FWA)
and Vodafone DE\T-Mobile PL (called GigaCube).
Modem is a MiniPCIe-to-USB based on Snapdragon X24,
it supports 4CA aggregation.
There are currently two hardware revisions, which
differ on the 5Ghz radio:
AT1 = QCA9984 5Ghz Radio on PCI-E bus
AT2 = IPQ4019 5Ghz Radio inside IPQ4019 like 2.4Ghz

Installation
------------
1. Place OpenWrt initramfs image for the device on a TFTP
in the server's root. This example uses Server IP: 192.168.0.2
2. Connect serial console (115200,8n1) to serial connector
GND (which is right next to the thing with MF289F MIMO-V1.0), RX, TX
(refer to this image: https://ibb.co/31Gngpr).
3. Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port (WAN/LAN1).
4. Stop in u-Boot (using ESC button) and run u-Boot commands:
setenv serverip 192.168.0.2
setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.1
set fdt_high 0x85000000
tftp openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-zte_mf289f-initramfs-fit-zImage.itb
bootm $loadaddr
5. Please make backup of original partitions, if you think about revert to
stock, specially mtd16 (Web UI) and mtd17 (rootFS).
Use /tmp as temporary storage and do:
WEB PARITION
--------------------------------------
cat /dev/mtd16 > /tmp/mtd16.bin
scp /tmp/mtd16.bin root@YOURSERVERIP:/
rm /tmp/mtd16.bin
ROOT PARITION
--------------------------------------
cat /dev/mtd17 > /tmp/mtd17.bin
scp /tmp/mtd17.bin root@YOURSERVERIP:/
rm /tmp/mtd17.bin
6. Login via ssh or serial and remove stock partitions
(default IP 192.168.0.1):
# this can return an error, if ubi was attached before
# or rootfs part was erased before.
ubiattach -m 17
# it could return error if rootfs part was erased before
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs
# some devices doesn't have it
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs_data
7. download and install image via sysupgrade -n
(either use wget/scp to copy the mf289f's squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
to the device's /tmp directory)
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-...-zte_mf289f-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Sometimes it could print ubi attach error, but please ignore it
if process goes forward.

-------------
1. Place mtd16.bin and mtd17.bin initramfs image
for the device on a TFTP in the server's root.
This example uses Server IP: 192.168.0.2
2. Connect serial console (115200,8n1) to serial console
connector (refer to the pin-out from above).
3. Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port (WAN/LAN1).
4. rename mtd16.bin to web.img and mtd17.bin to root_uImage_s
5. Stop in u-Boot (using ESC button) and run u-Boot commands:
This will erase RootFS+Web:
nand erase 0x1000000 0x800000
nand erase 0x1800000 0x1D00000
This will restore RootFS:
tftpboot 0x84000000 ${dir}root_uImage_s
nand erase 0x1800000 0x1D00000
nand write $fileaddr 0x1800000 $filesize
This will restore Web Interface:
tftpboot 0x84000000 ${dir}web.img
nand erase 0x1000000 0x800000
nand write $fileaddr 0x1000000 $filesize
After first boot on stock firwmare, do a factory reset.
Push reset button for 5 seconds so all parameters will
be reverted to the one printed on label on bottom of the router

- Flash : eMMC 4 GiB (THGBMNG5D1LBAIT)
- WLAN : 2.4/5 GHz 2T2R (IPQ4019)
- Ethernet : 10/100/1000 Mbps x2
- Transceiver : Qualcomm QCA8072
- WWAN : Telit LN940A9
- Z-Wave : Silicon Labs ZM5101
- Bluetooth : Qualcomm CSR8811
- Audio DAC : Realtek ALC5629
- Audio Amp. : Realtek ALC1304
- Voice Input Processor : Conexant CX20924
- Micro Controller Unit : Nuvoton MINI54FDE
- RGB LED, Fan, Temp. sensors
- Touch Sensor : Cypress CY8C4014LQI
- RGB LED driver : TI LP55231 (2x)
- LEDs/Keys : 11x, 6x
- UART : through-hole on PCB
- J1: 3.3V, TX, RX, GND from tri-angle marking
- 115200n8
- Power : 12 VDC, 2.5 A
Flash instruction using initramfs image:
1. Prepare TFTP server with the IP address 192.168.132.100 and place the
initramfs image to TFTP directory with the name "C0A88401.img"
2. Boot NCP-HG100/Cellular and interrupt after the message
"Hit any key to stop autoboot: 2"
3. Perform the following commands and set bootcmd to allow booting from
eMMC
setenv bootcmd "mmc read 0x84000000 0x2e22 0x4000 && bootm 0x84000000"
saveenv
4. Perform the following command to load/boot the OpenWrt initramfs image
tftpboot && bootm
5. On the initramfs image, perform sysupgrade with the sysupgrade image
(if needed, backup eMMC partitions by dd command and download to
other place before performing sysupgrade)
6. Wait for ~120 seconds to complete flashing
Known issues:
- There are no drivers for audio-related chips/functions in Linux Kernel
and OpenWrt, they cannot be used.
- There is no driver for MINI54FDE Micro-Controller Unit, customized for
this device by the firmware in the MCU. This chip controls the
following functions, but they cannot be controlled in OpenWrt.
- RGB LED
- Fan
this fan is controlled automatically by MCU by default, without
driver
- Thermal Sensors (2x)
- Currently, there is no driver or tool for CY8C4014LQI and cannot be
controlled. It cannot be exited from "booting mode" and moved to "normal
op mode" after booting. And also, the 4x buttons (mic mute, vol down,
vol up, alexa trigger) connected to the IC cannot be controlled.
- it can be exited from "booting mode" by installing and executing
i2cset command:
opkg update
opkg install i2c-tools
i2cset -y 1 0x14 0xf 1
- There is a connection issue on the control by uqmi for the WWAN module.
But modemmanager can be used without any issues and the use of it is
recommended.
- With the F2FS format, too many errors are reported on erasing eMMC
partition "rootfs_data" while booting:

Note:
- The primary uart is shared for debug console and Z-Wave chip. The
function is switched by GPIO15 (Linux: 427).
value:
1: debug console
0: Z-Wave
- NCP-HG100/Cellular has 2x os-image pairs in eMMC.
- 0:HLOS, rootfs
- 0:HLOS_1, rootfs_1
In OpenWrt, the first image pair is used.
- "bootipq" command in U-Boot requires authentication with signed-image
by default. To boot unsigned image of OpenWrt, use "mmc read" and
"bootm" command instead.
- This support is for "Cellular" variant of NCP-HG100 and not tested on
"WLAN" (non-cellular) variant.
- The board files of ipq-wifi may also be used in "WLAN" variant of
NCP-HG100, but unconfirmed and add files as for "Cellular" variant.
- "NET" LED is used to indicate WWAN status in stock firmware.
- There is no MAC address information in the label on the case, use the
address included in UUID in the label as "label-MAC" instead.
- The "CLOUD" LEDs are partially used for indication of system status in
stock firmware, use they as status LEDs in OpenWrt instead of RGB LED
connected to the MCU.

Naming follows existing Google projects included in upstream board-2.bin
-- GO(ogle) prefix, an underscore (_), and the project code name, all in
caps.
Note that I only tested the "gale" model; the "breeze" model is a later
revision (same marketing name) with very small hardware changes but
otherwise using the same firmware image.
