mediatek: add support for device zbt-z8103ax-c
- adopted MTD partition size increase from 64M to 128M
  -> this allows boot to complete
- moved MAC addressing stuff out of partition definitions
- all MAC addressing stuff is in .dtsi

Specifications:

SoC: MediaTek MT7981B
RAM: 256MiB
Flash: Winbond SPI-NAND 128 MiB
Switch: 1 WAN, 3 LAN (Gigabit) MediaTek MT7531
Buttons: Reset, Mesh
Power: DC 12V 1A
WiFi: MT7981B 2.4Ghz & 5.8Ghz

Led Layout from bottom to top:

    Power
    Mesh (RGB Led, user controllable, default set to OpenWrt Status)
    WLAN 2 GHz (user controllable)
    WAN (user controllable)
    LAN3
    LAN2
    LAN1
    WLAN 5 GHz (Not on front panel but blinks through enclosure,
               user controllable)

Buttons:

    Reset
    Mesh (user controllable, no default function)

Installation:

A. Through U-Boot menu:

 -  Prepare your connecting computer to use a static IP in
	network 192.168.1.0/24
 -  Power down the router and hold in the Reset button.
 -  While holding in the button power up the router again.
 -  Hold the button in for 10 seconds and then release.
 -  Use your browser to go to 192.168.1.1
 -  If you see a GUI allowing for flashing firmware then
	you got the right model.
 -  Upload the sysupgrade file.

Note: Recovery GUI can be used to recover from an incorrect
      firmware flash.

B. Through OpenWrt Dashboard:

    If your router comes with OpenWrt preinstalled
	(modified by the seller), you can easily upgrade
	by going to the dashboard (192.168.1.1) and then
	navigate to System -> Backup/Flash firmware,
	then flash the firmware

MAC Addresses were found in Factory partition:

offset 0x4 F8:5E:3C:xx:xx:aa --> Router Label -2
offset 0xa F8:5E:3C:xx:xx:bb --> Router Label -1
offset 0x24 F8:5E:3C:xx:xx:cc --> Router Label +1
offset 0x2a F8:5E:3C:xx:xx:yy --> printed on Router Label

OpenWrt logo

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Sunshine!

Download

Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.

If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.

An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:

Development

To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or macOS system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.

Requirements

You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.

binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.7+ rsync subversion unzip which

Quickstart

  1. Run ./scripts/feeds update -a to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

  2. Run ./scripts/feeds install -a to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/

  3. Run make menuconfig to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

  4. Run make to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.

The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.

  • LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.

  • OpenWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.

  • OpenWrt Routing: Packages specifically focused on (mesh) routing.

  • OpenWrt Video: Packages specifically focused on display servers and clients (Xorg and Wayland).
