slight update here for a couple devices. netgear wndr3700v4 and netgear wndr4300 are now supported in trunk on ath79. i made a build for the wndr3700v4 myself and using it right now. 
ath79: add support for Netgear WNDR4300
ath79: add support for Netgear WNDR3700v4
Did you ever manage to fix this? My Zyxel NBG6616 is working just fine on 19.07-rc2 and it would be a shame if it were to miss the next version if it’s not ported to ath79.

not yet. i did not have enough time to look into this again but i will work on it at 36c3.

Hello Lucize,
Thanks for your work with tl-wr2543nd. However, its support is broken in master.
There is an open bug report for errors while reading mtd. It also happens when I only use initramfs.
I also asked for help in ML.
It looks like ag71xx got mainlined, so with 5.4 we can use it instead of in tree one.

AFAIK, that driver has several features (including MDIO IIRC) missing.
Yes, but that does not mean that we should keep using and maintaing the downstream version instead of contributing to upstream.
Also,shouldnt MDIO driver be separate?
If you have something you’d like me to test, give me a shout!
Hi, I started to work on a port from ar71xx to ath79 for the CF-E375AC.
The device has a QCA9563, QCA9888 and AR8337.
I'm using D-LINK DIR-859 A1 as a initial reference (same 2.4GHz WLAN and switch chipset)
I've set up a git to share the code I'm working.
When I've tried to tftpboot the initram image I've got an LZMA error that I'm not sure how to fix.
From my bootloader

Any help, or suggestions, would be much appreciated

Does loading image to a different address, e.g. 0x81000000, work?

Also tried to flash the image to the device but notice the same behaviour.
Should I look into my mdio and eth nodes ?
I see that the Netgear WNDRMACv2 has a ar71xx image but not a ath79 one.
Since the WNDRMACv2 is the same hardware as WNDR3800, I simply flashed WNDR3800's ath79 image on my WNDRMACv2, and it seems to work fine.
If anyone wants to create a proper WNDRMACv2 ath79 image, I will be happy to test.
Manage to make more progress, the lack of watchdog gpio was the culprit for the reboots.
Now I've managed to probe the mdio bus but my ethernet ports dosen't work.
code is available at my first reply.

The ethernet ports still don't work, so I believe I've some changes to make in my DTS regarding mdio and eth nodes.
Since the WNDRMACv2 is the same hardware as WNDR3800 , I simply flashed WNDR3800's ath79 image on my WNDRMACv2, and it seems to work fine.
That's good to hear, since I came here wondering the same thing. macv2 and 3800 do have the same sha256sum hashes for ar71xx , so it's not surprising that the same thing holds for ath79.
Were you coming from stock or 19.07.x? If the latter, did you just follow the sysupgrade procedure?
I upgraded from some older version of OpenWRT, possibly 18.06, via sysupgrade (but I did not choose to keep settings).
Hello!
What's the situation with porting buffalo wzr-hp-g300nh to ath79? I searched about and found two-year-old forks (musashino's) of OpenWrt that added said support and the device boots. Those changes were never pushed to OpenWrt tree, though. I am interesting in giving it a shot but as people clearly have made attempts already I am hesitant whether I can bring anything new in to this scene.

I made an attempt at the Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH and got pretty close but then I ran into something that I would require a bit help with. Could you please comment on items below whether they are of consequence?
In my bootlog, as compared to 19.07
- I am missing entry 'PID hash table entries: 256 (order: -2, 1024 bytes)'
- I do not get frequencies for DDR, AHB and REF, only "CPU clock: 400.000 MHz"
- I get an error 'ar7200-usb-phy usb-phy: phy reset is missing'
- I see an extra RedBoot search entry at unknown address '0x1fa0000'. That is, I have not specified that address.
Also, the old boot log entry says this about flash partitions:
2 uimage-fw partitions found on MTD device firmware
0x000000060000-0x0000001e3492 : "kernel"
0x0000001e3492-0x000001fc0000 : "rootfs"
and mine says this:
Creating 2 MTD partitions on "firmware":
0x000000000000-0x0000001ba594 : "kernel"
0x0000001ba594-0x000001f60000 : "rootfs"
Otherwise they are identic. Do differing start points for the 'kernel' make a difference? My image fails to execute 'mount_rootfs'. It just keeps running and running and never finishes.
On top of the above things I had to disable failsafe as the device has sliding 'buttons' and some key is being pressed all the time while booting and that is caught always resulting in failsafe prompt. Is it possible to narrow down the buttons, pressing which results in failsafe?
