Topic: RB941-2nD (hAP lite) Support

The content of this topic has been archived between 2 Feb 2018 and 25 Apr 2018. Unfortunately there are posts – most likely complete pages – missing.

Dear all,

There's the new RouterBOARD from Mikrotik, which is SMIPS based. According to documentation SMIPS is a MIPS CPU with reduced instruction set.

The configuration of hAP lite is as follows:

CPU: SMIPS (QCA9531-BL3A-R) Single Core 650 MHz
RAM: 32M
Flash: 16M
Switch: 4 ports
WLAN: 802.11b/g/n (QCA9531-BL3A-R)

Is there plans for support of this device?

Is there plans for support of such architecture?

Greetings

I have ported the rbhap lite to OpenWRT; I am working on the AC Lite version before sending the patch upstream:

Added to machtypes.h:

ATH79_MACH_RB_HAP,                 /* MikroTik RouterBOARD hAP */

To get serial to work; a slight change to the prom.c was necessary:

if (strstr(arcs_cmdline, "board=750Gr3") ||
        strstr(arcs_cmdline, "board=951G") ||
        strstr(arcs_cmdline, "board=951HnD") ||
        strstr(arcs_cmdline, "board=750-hb") ||
            strstr(arcs_cmdline, "board=952-hb") ||
        strstr(arcs_cmdline, "board=2011L"))
        ath79_prom_append_cmdline("console", "ttyS0,115200");

Added the 952-hb into the if statement.

I'll make a real patch against trunk after I get the AC Lite finished up.

Whoops, my misunderstanding... I'm working with the Mikrotik hAP and Mikrotik hAP AC Lite; I don't have the original Mikrotik hAP Lite.

@idahorazor Any update on the patch you were working on?

Hello.
Currently I am working to porting openwrt on this platform. This is a full patch for the current trunk version. Wait 1-2 weeks.

@adron

Are you referring to the hAP Lite ( rb941 ) or the hAP AC Lite?

I have the Mikrotik hAP ( rb952 ) working in OpenWRT, I am currently creating a patch for it.
I can't seem to get UART from the Mikrotik hAP AC Lite, not sure what is wrong there.

I also have a hAP AC now, I have the switch working but ag71xx isn't properly creating a handle so the CPU can't interact with the ethernet interface yet. ( I don't know if it's SGMII / RGMII / GMII wiring, and I also don't know if it's a PLL issue... )

If you have any insight, please let me know. I really want to get the hAP AC Lite to work; and since the board is nearly identical to the hAP I figured my hAP port would work. Since I don't have UART working on the hAP AC Lite, I can't tell where the kernel is hanging.

For what it's worth to those porting, I was able to grab a copy of the flash form a TP-Link TL-WR841ND v9 and write it directly to the flash on the RB hAP ac lite.  (I did pad the image from the TP-Link's 4MB to fill the RB's 16MB.  Padding was inserted just before the art partition.)
Board booted and serial works in both uboot and the kernel.  Obviously this is not an ideal situation because the radio calibration data, MAC addresses, etc. are all copied from the TP-Link, but hopefully this information can be helpful for others.
It tries TFTP load on every boot so there is probably some GPIO line tied differently on the RB versus the TP-Link - no surprise.
Also, the 5GHz radio isn't found.  I don't know if that's only because of the lack of art data for it or if there is something missing from the image.

Are you referring to the hAP Lite ( rb941 ) or the hAP AC Lite?

I have the Mikrotik hAP ( rb952 ) working in OpenWRT, I am currently creating a patch for it.
I can't seem to get UART from the Mikrotik hAP AC Lite, not sure what is wrong there.

I also have a hAP AC now, I have the switch working but ag71xx isn't properly creating a handle so the CPU can't interact with the ethernet interface yet. ( I don't know if it's SGMII / RGMII / GMII wiring, and I also don't know if it's a PLL issue... )

If you have any insight, please let me know. I really want to get the hAP AC Lite to work; and since the board is nearly identical to the hAP I figured my hAP port would work. Since I don't have UART working on the hAP AC Lite, I can't tell where the kernel is hanging.

Hello!
I have hAP Lite ( rb941 ) but as far as I'm concerned it is almost a complete copy of hAP AC Lite(without second 5Ghz wifi module and second MII)
On my rb941 UART works ok.

On rb941 we have only one MII and it is connected to a switch(The device has only 4 ports :-)
I also had a problem with lan/switch but I solve it. You can see my patch(based on your! thank you for this!) for details!
Now I'm working on a problem with yaffs driver. I want to trunk version worked with NOR flash. There is already a working version(RouterBOOT successfully boots from kernel partition) but I still continue to work on it. Soon i show a ready module for adaptating MTD driver for yaffs.

This is my patch for rb941-2nd based on your. Not completed but work.

I think you need this code in your mach-*.c file:

    ath79_setup_ar934x_eth_cfg(AR934X_ETH_CFG_SW_ONLY_MODE);
    ath79_register_mdio(0, 0x0); //or maby: ath79_register_mdio(1, 0x0) for your device!

    /* WAN */
    ath79_switch_data.phy4_mii_en = 1;
    ath79_switch_data.phy_poll_mask = BIT(4);
    ath79_eth0_data.phy_if_mode = PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_MII;
    ath79_eth0_data.phy_mask = BIT(4);
    ath79_init_mac(ath79_eth0_data.mac_addr, ath79_mac_base, 0);
    ath79_register_eth(0); 

    /* LAN */
    ath79_init_mac(ath79_eth1_data.mac_addr, ath79_mac_base, 1);
    ath79_eth1_data.phy_if_mode = PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_GMII;
    ath79_register_eth(1);

On rb941-2nd the first MII in not connected to anything so i comment a WAN part on my patch.

@adron,

I don't know if you saw but I got yaffs2 working on NOR chip in an older kernel ( not current trunk ). I did this for the mAP2n support:

https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=54221

Maybe some of the patch changes could help you with the trunk version?

Yes i saw you patch for yaffs. It was very helpful. Thank you.

New(trunk) yaffs already can use nor. The problem is not in it. The problem is in mtd driver (it return the wrong sizes, no functions read_oob / write_oob).

Hello. I wrote a program to pack OpenWrt kernel into Mikrotik Yaffs2.

And a simple shell script:

#!/bin/sh
KERNEL="/home/prog/openwrt/trunk-rb941-2nd/bin/ar71xx/openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-lzma.elf"
RESNAME=$(basename $KERNEL | sed -e 's/\..\+//')
./tik2yaffs2 -k $KERNEL -r ./$RESNAME-yaffs2.bin -e

Now you can directly get the binary image of yaffs2 and simply write it to yours rb941(or other rb* with nor flash)

mtd -r write /tmp/openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-lzma-yaffs2.bin kernel

or

nc 192.168.88.6 -v 1111 | mtd -r write - kernel

And of course we no more need to include yaffs2 into the kernel!

Yet there is a problem with serial console. Sometimes Mikrotik just does not load. The kernel comes to the console initialization line and firmly hangs.If i completely disable a console in kernel config then mikrotik boots ok.
And one more observation: if in build_dir/target-mips_34kc_musl-1.1.14/linux-ar71xx_mikrotik/linux-4.1.20/drivers/spi/spi-ath79.c add printk(KERN_ERR "qqqqq\n\n\n\n\n\n"); then console working ok :-)

@adron
Could you provide a more detail on compiling your program?  I see your code-comment that files come from utils folder in yaffs2 trunk, but some files come from direct folder.  However, when I get yaffs2 from Git, I do not see the symlinks you mention.
I see that build_dir/host/yaffs2_android has the symlinks, but yaffs_ext_tags is not defined in that implementation.  What yaffs2 code did you build against?

git clone https://github.com/adron-s/kernel2minor.git
make
Thats all
A files in yaffs2 folder is from current yaffs2 trunk.

Ok. To solve this problem I add:

static void __init rbhap_setup(void)
{
....
    //we need 2 sec wait for serial port correct init
    printk(KERN_INFO "Waiting %d sec before begin setup ...\n", 2);
    ssleep(2);

....
to mach-rb941.c

It seems that the com port needs some time to get yourself going after a reboot.
This explains why when I booting via network (initramfs) a com port is working ok but when i use nor flash(squashfs or jffs2) - nothing worked.

I wonder if I put that delay in on the RB HAP AC Lite, if that would fix UART with routerboot. The hAP AC Lite for some reason does not load the com port when booting via the network. In fact it seems like the kernel is hanging on boot ( but of course on the hAP AC Lite, we can't see where it hangs )... Nick proved that using a different bootloader UART works, so it's definitely something with routerboot + booting openwrt over the network.

Both the hAP and hAP AC seem to work fine.

In my case, the kernel began to display messages immediately at the start but stuck on line: console [ttyS0] disabled

I think in your case, too, there is a problem with the init com port.
try to completely disable the com port by adding the foliwing lines to the end of file:
trunk/target/linux/ar71xx/mikrotik/config-default

# CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_AR933X is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_AR933X_CONSOLE is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_AR933X_NR_UARTS is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_8250 is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_DMA is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_EARLYCON is not set

And of course you must have a working code initialization at least one of the MII interface to get to mikrotik through the network. Good luck.

kernel2minor tool is used for packing openwrt kernel into modified yaffs2 file system image.
This is necessary to boot via Routerboot on new Mikrotik NOR flash devices.

On make menuconfig -> Target image pls select kernel.minor-yaffs2. After that, when you do make, on bin/ar71xx/ you can find openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-lzma.minor-yaffs2 file.

Greetings friends. I want to share my joy. It seems that I was able to completely learn NOR flash layout on new Mikrotiks. See my mach-rb941.c. It was almost completed. lan, gpio(leds, buttons), wlan works ok.

One more week and I submit code to the trunk.
In my opinion the most important thing that works rb_init_info since routerboot module can find HARD and SOFT configs and thus calibration data are available by calling rb_get_wlan_data!

What do you think why there are two routerboot's? Spare?

That is great news adron!

I wish I was having as much luck with the hAP AC Lite. Even with serial completely disabled, it appears to still hang ( or not boot OpenWRT from RouterBOOT ). Meanwhile the hAP works like a champ, I guess I can atleast create a patch for the hAP for now.

The hAP AC version seems to boot and gives me UART, however i'm not sure how the switch chip is attached to the CPU. It's on the MDIO 0 bus, and it's a AR8337 switch. With the ar8327 driver, I can initialize the LEDs and everything. I can also use "swconfig dev switch0 show" to view what's connected to what port.

Mikrotik's patch suggests RGMII is on pad0 of the ar8337 and SGMII is on pad6:

+static struct ar8327_pad_cfg ipq806x_db149_ar8337_pad0_cfg = {

but as you can see I have errors here:

eth0 only shows TX packets:

root@OpenWrt:/# ifconfig eth0

          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:328502 (320.8 KiB)
          Interrupt:4 

I'm missing something, but not sure what. I need to figure out how to tie eth0/eth1 to the switch chip itself.

Maby you forgot to add: ath79_init_mac(ath79_eth1_data.mac_addr, ath79_mac_base, 1);
And also try to add:
ath79_eth0_data.speed = SPEED_1000;
ath79_eth0_data.duplex = DUPLEX_FULL;
ath79_eth1_data.speed = SPEED_1000;
ath79_eth1_data.duplex = DUPLEX_FULL;

I hope this helps

@adron

I have been back and forth with the ath79_init_mac(), it initializes the eth1 interface on SGMII when I do that but still no data...

HOWEVER

I had some progress with the hAP AC Lite:

And what was the problem?

I have been back and forth with the ath79_init_mac(), it initializes the eth1 interface on SGMII when I do that but still no data...

I think that switch itself is not initialized!

Try to add something like this:
ath79_setup_ar933x_phy4_switch(false, false);
or
ath79_setup_ar934x_eth_cfg(AR934X_ETH_CFG_SW_ONLY_MODE);
