OpenWrt support for Xiaomi AX9000

Yepp, did that. Even with US the channels are still disabled. Hmm. Did the javascript exploit break the whole radio stuff ?

Wait, all of the channels are disabled?
That shouldn't be the case, I don't know which exploit are you talking about

Yes, all disabled.
The exploit from bruda, #179 . Should I try another board2.bin ?

I don't see that it touches ART at all, so it shouldn't have messed anything up.
Let me check again tomorrow, but for sure there is a couple of channels that are done by the built-in radio.

Different BDF isn't gonna help here, the frequency restrictions should be in the caldata itself

Thanks!
I just noticed I do not have the original caldata file in the backup of the original firmware... I ommited /tmp while backup up... :pensive:

Any stable openwrt for ax9000 yet?
I found some openwrt firmware on QQ
I tried some but the wifi 5g low band is disappear

I have caught a kernel panic on a AX9000 from the -backports branch with latest patches:

[63783.280425] Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops - BUG: Fatal exception

This is the first time I have seen it.

Its a ECM bug, you can see thst kernel detected buffer overflow

I tested the firmware today.
The bug still here

mate you are not even using Robimarko's branch.

This is seriously getting annoying, here and elsewhere as well. I counted 4 individual cases already when someone upgraded to a QSDK based crap because they thought it is "Openwrt", it f*cked up the factory partition table, then they sysupgraded to Robi's branch, which led to a brick. So it is not just annoying, but misleading as well, and it causes effective damage to the less educated.

Therefor, these post should be removed by a moderator.

Easy to replicate. Boot, connect an Android phone, disable wifi on the phone, wait a few minutes then re-enable wifi. The crash is immediate.

I can tell you that I wont be looking at the ECM, its just a black hole for time

I'm wondering if this bug is affecting only AX9000 or AX3600 as well?

Does anyone has a log of the boot sequence of the AX9000 with the latest (as of Nov 29) -backports firmware ? The boot doesn't complete, no network no console shell etc. The last lines I have are:

It stays stuck at this point waiting for something that never happens.

Turns out that the culprit was a corrupt /etc/passwd, ubusd didn't initialize itself correctly and procd was stuck in a loop trying to connect.
Sorry for the noise.

As it is in the ecm driver it should affect all AX routers.
I think I have found the culprit, it is the calls to ipv6_addr_prefix() in ecm_db_ipv6_route_table_update_event() the third argument is not checked and goes overboard. There are a lot of other issues in this function (an ipv6 address stored in a ip_addr_t and so on).
If someone is interested I have a patch, which may not address the root cause of the issue (the value of cfg->fc_dst_len). At least the router has not crashed since.

Thanks @flebourse
Might be worth creating a PR with this patch to @robimarko's repo, so other owners of the AX9000 (and possibly AX3600) would benefit from it?

I have added a PR to the -backports branch.

Check again.
You sent it to the upstream OpenWrt
