Garrett Mesmer fafb36f865 mediatek: filogic: Add support ASUS RT-AX57M
ASUS RT-AX57M, RT-AX54HP V2, RT-AX1800HP V2, RT-AX1800S V2, and RT-AX3000S all use the same firmware and have identical hardware

Hardware
--------
SOC: MediaTek MT7981b
RAM: 256MB DDR3L (Winbond W632GU6NB-09)
FLASH: 128MB SPI-NAND (Winbond W25N01KVZEIR)
WIFI: Mediatek MT7981b + Mediatek MT7976DAN 802.11ax 2.4/5 GHz
ETH: MediaTek MT7531AE Switch
UART: 3V3 115200 8N1 (Pinout silkscreened / Do not connect VCC)

MAC addresses
-------------
LAN	Label MAC (stored in mtd ubi Factory partition at offset 0x4)
WAN	LAN
2.4G	LAN + 2 in first octet
5G	LAN

Installation
-----------------------------------------------------------
Vendor-UI Method
-----------------------------------------------------------
1. Download the OpenWrt initramfs.trx image.

2. Connect the PC via LAN to one of the yellow router ports and wait
   until your PC to get a DHCP lease.

3. Browse to http://192.168.1.1 (or whatever your router IP is configured as)

4. If your router is brand new, finish the setup process and log into
   the Web-UI.

5. Navigate to Administration -> Firmware Upgrade and upload the
   downloaded OpenWrt initramfs.trx image.

6. Wait for OpenWrt to boot. Open the default OpenWrt IP in a web browser and perform a system upgrade using the sysupgrade image as instructed in the top banner.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revert to stock firmware:
1: Install package facinstall -> https://forum.openwrt.org/t/facinstall-package-for-easy-installation-factory-images/177587
2. Install Asus stock trx image via OpenWRT LuCI interface.

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).
