This allows us to use the full size of nand,
which extends ubi size from 64Mb to 122.25Mb.
If you are at factory firmware, please refer
to [PR](https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/21141)
to boot into OpenWrt first.
1. Log in to the device and backup all the partitions,
especially unique `Factory` and `bdata` partitions
from System -> Backup / Flash Firmware -> Save mtdblock contents.
2. Install kmod-mtd-rw to unlock mtd partitions for writing:
```bash
apk update && apk add kmod-mtd-rw && insmod mtd-rw i_want_a_brick=1
```
3. Write new OpenWrt (U-Boot Layout) `BL2` and `FIP`:
```bash
mtd write openwrt-mediatek-filogic-cudy_wbr3000uax-v1-ubootmod-preloader.bin BL2
mtd write openwrt-mediatek-filogic-cudy_wbr3000uax-v1-ubootmod-bl31-uboot.fip FIP
```
4. Set static IP on your PC: `192.168.1.254`, gateway `192.168.1.1`
5. Serve openwrt-mediatek-filogic-cudy_wbr3000uax-v1-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb
using TFTP server.
6. Connect Router LAN with PC LAN.
7. Cut off the power and re-engage, wait for TFTP recovery to complete.
8. After OpenWrt initramfs recovery has booted,
clean `/dev/mtd5` ubi partition to utilize maximum of free space & create ubootenvs:
```bash
ubidetach -p /dev/mtd5; ubiformat /dev/mtd5 -y; ubiattach -p /dev/mtd5
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 0 -N ubootenv -s 128KiB
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 1 -N ubootenv2 -s 128KiB
```
4. Perform sysupgrade.

Installing OpenWrt:
- Setup a tftp server on your PC. Copy
xxx-preloader.bin, xxx-bl31-uboot.fip and
xxx-initramfs.itb to tftp root directory.
- Connect to the router via ssh or telnet,
username: useradmin, password is the web
login password of the router.
- Backup all critical flash partitions with
the following commands where x.x.x.x is
the IP of your PC.
IP=x.x.x.x
cd /dev
for d in /sys/class/mtd/mtd?; do
if [ "$(cat $d/name)" = "BL2" ]; then
tftp -l $(basename $d) -r bl2.img -p $IP
elif [ "$(cat $d/name)" = "FIP" ]; then

tftp -r xxx-bl31-uboot.fip -g x.x.x.x
mtd write xxx-preloader.bin spi0.0
mtd write xxx-bl31-uboot.fip FIP
mtd erase ubi
- Set a static ip(192.168.1.254) for your PC.
And then reboot the router. It will run
initramfs image automatically.
- After openwrt boots up, perform sysupgrade
via web UI.
Reverting to the vendor firmware:
- Setup a tftp server on your PC with ip
address 192.168.1.254. And make sure
bl2.img, fip.bin, factory.bin and customer
are located in tftp root directory.
- Power off the router.
- Press and hold WPS key, then power on
the router.
- Release WPS key, when internet/wifi/wps
leds are blinking.
- Wait until internet/wifi/wps leds light
up, power off the router.
- Press and hold reset key, power up the
router, release reset key 15s later.
- Connect to http://192.168.1.1, now you
can upload vendor .bin firmware.
Uboot netconsole:
Uboot netconsole can be enabled by WPS
or reset key.
- Setup a linux PC with ip 192.168.1.254.
Open a new terminal and execute
'stty -isig -echo cbreak; nc -lup 6666'
- Press and hold WPS(or reset) key, then
power on the router.
- Release key once internet/wifi/wps leds
are all on.
NOTE: don't hold the key more than 5s
after internet/wifi/wps leds on, or it
will try to revert to vendor firmware.
- 5s later, uboot bootmenu will show on
the terminal.

Partially revert commit 332645a610 ("uboot-mediatek: sync with

with large embedded firmware (and are hence inacceptable for upstream)
and restoring our previous version of the Airoha EN8811H driver which is
known to work and load firmware from the eMMC boot1 hardware partition
instead of embedding it in the driver.
In future we may switch to the upstream Airoha EN8811H driver which
allows loading the firmware either from a filesystem or overloading the
en8811h_read_fw() for board which may eg. store that firmware directly
inside a eMMC hardware partition or UBI volume, like the BPi-R3 mini
does.

Add an OpenWrt-based U-Boot build for this device, allowing for more
flexibility and customization.
Expected behaviour
------------------
When plugging the device, keeping the reset button pressed will enter
TFTP recovery mode: the board will send requests for the initramfs file
(openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-mt2500-initramfs-kernel.bin) from
IP 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.10 TFTP server.
The bootloader will populate the environment with the unit serial number
as reported by the "sn" value in eMMC, the "sn_bak" value, the country
code and ddns. WAN and LAN MAC addresses are reported in the environment
as well.
Limitations
-----------
No web interface is available, and only the LAN port can be used for
system recovery.
Notes
-----
This port has been tested with the Maxlinear version only, and with a
board that does not exhibit eMMC communication problems. Even though eMMC
frequency has been lowered, some testing is probably needed and always
very welcome.
A -factory image has been introduced, and is only needed when using the
"Load Firmware via TFTP then write to eMMC." boot menu function.
The device has not been converted to use uImage.FIT including the rootfs
to keep compatibility with stock bootloader and firmware.
Installation
------------
From a Linux root shell:
0. Transfer the needed files to the board, placing them in /tmp.
1. Make sure your U-Boot environment is erased: all of my units came with
unpopulated environment, but I am not sure this is always the case.
Issue the command
cat /dev/zero >/dev/mmcblk0p2
(you will get a "no space left" error, which is reasonable and expected).
2. Unlock the eMMC boot area where BL2 is located:
echo 0 >/sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro
3. Write the new BL2 code:
cat openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-mt2500-emmc-preloader.bin >/dev/mmcblk0boot0
4. Write new BL31+U-Boot image:
cat openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-mt2500-emmc-bl31-uboot.fip >/dev/mmcblk0p4
5. Reboot.

This commit updates the OpenWrt-based U-Boot for this device, allowing
to boot a FIT firmware image stored in an SD card.
The environment has been updated accordingly to allow for managing images
on the two different supported firmware boot media configurations
(NOR or SDMMC).
Erasing the U-Boot environment when upgrading is recommended, so that
the correct DTS overlay is applied.
New behaviour
-------------
The default environment "bootconf" variable is set to
config-1#mt7981b-gatonetworks-gdsp-gps
rendering the GPS module accessible.
You may set it to something like
config-1#mt7981b-gatonetworks-gdsp-sd
to be able to use the MMC controller.
To boot from a firmware image stored in an SD card, you may set the
bootmedia environment variable:
# fw_setenv bootmedia sd
and reboot.
Should the bootmedia variable be absent or it's content not recognized
as valid (e.g., does not contain "nor" or "sd"), NOR boot will be
attempted.

Apparently U-Boot will discard whole node if requested pin function is
unknown to the driver. This resulted in inability to interact with
U-Boot on the said board, as U-Boot always assumed the recovery key
pressed and issued recovery procedure. Log snippet:
button_gpio gpio-keys: pinctrl_select_state_full: pinctrl_config_one: err=-38
reset button found
button pushed, resetting environment
Recovery procedure also booted recovery image, which didn't affect much
the 23.05.x release, since the root fs argument was valid, so changes
persisted. But as 24.10.x hit with fitblk, the board will boot only
recovery image (initramfs) because of default bootargs will reset on each
boot and U-Boot provided bootargs took precedence.
