Adding OpenWrt support for Xiaomi "Redmi Router AX6S"/"Xiaomi Router AX3200"

As I have written some posts before.

  • Setup a TFTP Server for recovery, using one of the RB01 images, e.g. 1.0.71_INT.
  • Connect to UART, 115200 Baud
  • Start recovery/debrick procedure
  • As soon as erasing starts, unplug the power cable
  • Plug in power cable again, you should end up on a UBoot terminal
  • Enable UART, Telnet, SSH, just to be sure. setenv uart_en=1; setenv telnet_en=1; setenv ssh_en=1
  • Place image on TFTP server (Not sure, but I think I used openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-xiaomi_redmi-router-ax6s-initramfs-recovery.itb)
  • tftpboot openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-xiaomi_redmi-router-ax6s-initramfs-recovery.itb
  • This should end up in a booted openwrt
  • Install to flash using sysupgrade

As far as I remember that's all I did to get it running on a locked RB01 from 11/21. Try it on your own risk!
