OpenWrt support for Netgear WAX620

Ahoy,
Now that the WAX218, I picked up a WAX620 to figure out.
Internal photos aren't available online, I'll follow up with those. The board has a different layout, from the WAX218, with different LEDs. Same case, and antenna layout. And same general hardware:

IQP8072a
RAM 512MiB

Well, this device seems to work out of the gate with the WAX218 builds. The root file system lives on mtd19, if you're using the ubiformat method.

LED layout does need some work, as the WAX620 has more less, and they're in a different order than the WAX218. Will get that together as a PR here shortly.

Hi @jmspswny , and thanks for sharing this information. I’ve ordered one myself and I’m interested in how you installed OpenWRT and version number.

Anything I should be aware of in terms of installing openwrt?
Sysupgrade would be lovely, but I know how to use tftp too using the app Transfer. I didn’t see any PR btw, is there any?

Cheers, and thanks

frollic · July 11, 2023, 2:53pm

the boot log isn't from any official release of openwrt.

Spacebar · July 11, 2023, 3:41pm

Ah. I probably misunderstood. I read his text
“Well, this device seems to work out of the gate with the WAX218 builds. The root file system lives on mtd19, if you're using the ubiformat method.”

So was just wondering

frollic · July 11, 2023, 3:45pm

then try flashing the WAX218 image, if you're brave enough

Spacebar · July 11, 2023, 4:14pm

Hehe… I’ll think about it
Have to learn/read more about recovery and mtd19 / ubiformat.

Hello. Me trying to understand more of this, I'm now stuck with an error while extracting the kernel. I did manage to extract the squashfs-root tho...
The error I get is:

$ dtc -I dtb -O dts 01_dtbdump_ARM_OpenWrt_FIT_\(Flattened_Image_Tree\).dtb -o 01_dtbdump_ARM_OpenWrt_FIT_\(Flattened_Image_Tree\).dts 
FATAL ERROR: EOF before reading 6029600 bytes of DT blob

If I do a simple binwalk img-1480376004_vol-kernel.ubifs, I get this.

The other files does not give me any fatal error. Just the one I'm referring to earlier.

I'm using firmware: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WAX620/WAX620_firmware_V10.4.1.4.zip

I'm running Ubuntu server 20.04 and python3 using pip.

I believe I do something wrong, or missing some steps.
I'm thankful for any hints/tips.

you're trying to extract the stock image, why exactly ?

Just wanna learn the tools and understand. And maybe we can get support for wax620. So having a look at files, I could compare it to the wax218.

Problem is, it's a vendor SDK, it won't have a lot in common with OpenWRT, and whatever you can find out there, you should've able to discover by booting an initramfs.

Ok, noted

Just to be clear, the WAX218 firmware runs and is stable. the LEDs don't all work, and the WAX620 manages active boot partitions differently, so sometimes it will boot on the other firmware partition that, in my case, still has the factory firmware on it.

I've been mucking about trying to build an image for this device, but I'm running into issues with board-2.bin not being included in the build. Other than that, the image builds and installs without any drama.

If anyone can point me to information about sorting out the board-2.bin inclusion issue, I can likely get a PR together for this hardware in short order.

thanks,

jps

Alright. Thanks for the information. I'm watching this thread, and hopefully you get board-2.bin working Sorry I cant help you there!

Well, this is fun. I tried to install in the UI with web-ui-factory.fit, but it says "Select a valid firmware file format.". I'm not able to login with ssh either.
I've downgraded to the lowest version (WAX620_V9.5.0.21) to see if that would make any difference, but it didn't.

How did you install openwrt with the UI @jmspswny ? Step-by-step...

Thanks.

to get the WAX218 firmware up and running on the WAX620, I used the following steps:

connect a serial cable to the right serial pin out (oriented as shown in photo above) at 115200 8N1 - pin guide is printed on the underside of the PCB
enter the u-boot shell
run setenv active_fw 1
load openwrt-ipq807x-generic-netgear_wax218-initramfs-uImage.itb via TFTP and boot it
flash netgear_wax218-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin from within the initramfs instance of OpenWRT

Running the WAX218 works with the following caveats:

the LEDS are not fully / properly utilized
the device will occasionally reboot to the other partition that still contains the factory firmware. If this happens, you can just use the Boot up Backup Firmware button in the factory firmware (found on the Management -> Maintenance -> Upgrade -> Firmware Upgrade page) to boot back to the OpenWRT firmware.

I'm still fighting with the build process not including ath11k/IPQ8074/hw2.0/board-2.bin. If anyone can tell me what step I might be missing with that, I'd be much obliged.

Thank you. I'll see what I can do tonight. I'm having an issue with my internet so trying to fix it first...
