Add support for ipq60xx based devices

For Developers
1

Hello everybody. Couple of weeks ago i've tried to add support for my Yuncore AX840 (ipq6010) access point. At the moment there is similar chipset already added to owrt master branch ipq8071A (xiaomi ax3600).

So based on this commit i've made a commit for yuncore ax840.

Unfortunately, all I managed to do was get the firmware to compile and then boot the device. The kernel starts, but neither etnernet nor wireless work.

If somehow get the firmware work, then we can add support for a whole bunch of devices:

cig_wf188n
hfcl_ion4xe
hfcl_ion4x
hfcl_ion4x_2
hfcl_ion4xi
edgecore_eap101
indio_um-310ax-v1
indio_um-510axp-v1
indio_um-510axm-v1
wallys_dr6018
wallys_dr6018_v4
qcom_cp01_c1
glinet_ax1800
glinet_axt1800
yuncore_ax840
plasmacloud_common_64k

If this is interesting, community please help

ipq60xx is similar to ipq807x, but not the same - it probably needs its own (sub-)target (at least). There is some work ongoing for it (https://github.com/mrnuke/openwrt/tree/ipq6018-devel and https://github.com/mrnuke/openwrt/tree/ipq6018-devel-broken), but I have no idea how close to being functional they are.

Thanks. This fork is working. I've made my own based on it.

Now there is another problem:
Empty FW is working. But if i try to add or replace some packages device reboots just before kernel starts loading:

I can't figure out what is causing this. This happens when i add these packages:
+libopenssl

Maybe compiled initramfs becomes too big?

@Ansuel @robimarko @mrnuke
Any ideas?

Linksys MR7350 accidentally won one of these on eBay, I see there's a partial toh and unofficial support by coolsnowwolf.

While I wait for it to arrive, what's needed to add support for the ipq60xx based devices?

40MB is definitely to large. Around 15MB is the max size for an initramfs image.
Use a basic config and zstd compression for the initramfs image.

I've tried to gzip initramfs. So now it is only ~15M. But still the same reboot on start. I'm able to flash and start same FW from memory chip.

check this forum ...

For figuring out very early boot crashes, one may set earlycon. Assuming the board uses blsp_uart3 for console, the u-boot command would look like:

setenv bootargs earlycon=msm_serial_dm,0x78b1000
bootm

@rmandrad, the Xiaomi AX1800 forum seems to use linux-v4.6. The point of the this thread is to use a modern kernel.

Setting earlycon as bootargs is not enough AFAIK, you need to set the kernel command line in the kernel config (boot options) and enable "force command line"

Try using ZSTD compressed initramfs

hi, i've tried to add support to the wallystech dr6018-v4.

my github is https://github.com/okoklets/openwrt/tree/ipq6018-devel

i haven't quite got the dts right, is what my instincts are telling me.

it errors here:

You are using a qsdk specific DTS. That won't work in OpenWrt upstream kernel.
Just drop that entire DTS and copy a known working DTS (eap610 or MR7350 for example) and add /update the device specific stuff.

16

Hello , did you get your compile working on the device yet ?

I am looking for OpenWrt release 22.03 for ZBT Z600 IPQ6000 model (ZBT Z600 routers)

was/is anyone able to make openwrt support for this router?

18

That is pretty much guaranteed not to happen. There isn't even ipq60xx support in master, it won't be there for the upcoming openwrt-23.05 and will take months+ at best to eventually/ hopefully make it to master (and ipq6000 (rather than ipq601x and upwards) is even more questionable to 'ever' get support, 256 MB RAM is pretty much guaranteed to be impossible as well.

If you want to see ipq60xx support -for devices with ipq601x and >=512 MB- in a stable release, help working on getting it into master, so it will end up in the next release afterwards quite naturally. Backporting whole targets to already branched releases is not going to happen.

tl;dr: chances for this device to ever get OpenWrt support are close to zero, even less for 22.03.x.

256 MB RAM and ath11k is a hard no-go, as ath11k is quite memory hungry and already needs to be pretty lobotomized to deal with 'just' 512 MB RAM.

I would love to help of course, that also is why I asked first if there is some work going on so I do not want to reinvent the wheel.

Will see first what I can do after checking what others (@Ansuel @robimarko @mrnuke) did, although I am tooo busy to start at the moment.

Thanks for info. in all cases!

I have (512MB RAM and 256MB Flash) router version.
