mipi-dbi: mark as non-shared, drop tool from tree

2026-10-11T17:30:48Z

As the MIPI-DBI firmware blobs are carrying target-dependencies to only be available and get built for the targets they are actually used by, the package needs to be flagged as 'nonshared'. While at it, remove the duplicated firmware compiler and instead use the (archived) upstream repo it came from. Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle

linux-firmware: add the ARM Mali CSF GPU firmware

2026-10-07T09:12:12Z

The Panthor driver loads arm/mali/arch/mali_csffw.bin for the Mali GPUs with a command stream front end, such as the G610 in the RK3588. Package every architecture version so one package serves all of them. Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle

mipi-dbi: add init sequence for PH240240T004-ZAR

2026-10-06T23:03:51Z

Add the controller init sequence for the PH240240T004-ZAR 240x240 LCD as the mipi-dbi-ph240240t004-zar package. panel-mipi-dbi requests it for a panel node whose first compatible string is "ph240240t004-zar". Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle

mipi-dbi: build init sequences from source

2026-10-06T23:03:51Z

The panel-mipi-dbi driver requests ".bin", a blob that the upstream mipi-dbi-cmd tool assembles from a readable list of controller commands and delays. Keep only that list in files/, vendor the CC0-licensed tool, and assemble the blob in Build/Compile with the host python3 the build system already requires. Every .txt in files/ is assembled, so a further panel needs only its command list and an install recipe. Link: https://github.com/notro/panel-mipi-dbi Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle

mipi-dbi: mark init sequence packages PKGARCH:=all

2026-10-06T23:03:51Z

A MIPI DBI init sequence is a target-independent data blob holding controller commands and delays, so one build serves every architecture. Mark the packages accordingly. Fixes: 51627b9699b7 ("mipi-dbi: add MIPI DBI LCD init sequence packages") Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle

qualcommax: add support for TP-Link RE700X

2026-10-03T18:17:43Z

TP-Link RE700X is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (AX3000) range extender based on Qualcomm IPQ5018 (2.4 GHz) with a QCN6122 (5 GHz) companion radio. Specifications: - SoC: Qualcomm IPQ5018 (dual-core ARM Cortex-A53) - RAM: 256 MiB - Flash: 128 MiB SPI-NAND (ESMT F50D1G41LB) - Wi-Fi: IPQ5018 2.4 GHz + QCN6122 5 GHz, both 802.11ax - Ethernet: 1x Gigabit - IPQ5018 MAC1 (DWMAC) via SGMII/uniphy0 to a Realtek RTL8211F (MDIO1 addr 6). The SoC internal GE PHY (MAC0/gmac0) is not wired to any external port and stays disabled. - LEDs: 5, Buttons: reset + WPS - Power: 100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, 0.4 A (internal PSU, wall-plug) - UART: 3.3 V serial console, 115200 8N1; on-board 4-pad header, pinout from top: TX, RX, GND, VCC MAC addresses (factory_data UBI volume, file default-mac, mounted read-only in preinit like on the EAP650): - LAN (label MAC): default-mac - 2.4 GHz: default-mac + 1 - 5 GHz: default-mac + 2 Calibration data is extracted from the 0:art partition (IPQ5018 at 0x1000, QCN6122 at 0x26800). Installation: - From OpenWrt (or after a RAM-boot of the initramfs via U-Boot/TFTP): sysupgrade. - From the stock firmware: openwrt-...-squashfs-factory-webflash.bin via the TP-Link web UI (System -> Firmware Upgrade). scripts/tplink-re700x-factory.py wraps the rootfs UBI into the stock "nvrammanager" upload container (the same "tplink2022"/safeloader family as scripts/tplink-mkimage-2022.py); the stock flasher writes it into the inactive dual-boot slot. This path has not been tested end to end (no unit on stock firmware was left), so keep UART at hand for a first install. The stock U-Boot passes a slot-correct ubi.mtd= (rootfs / rootfs_1 per the dual-boot index) but with an unmountable root=mtd:ubi_rootfs. The DTS /chosen inherits ubi.mtd= and appends root=/dev/ubiblock0_1, so OpenWrt boots from whichever slot the flasher wrote. Like on the EAP650, sysupgrade installs into the inactive slot and then points tp_boot_idx at it, keeping the running slot as a fallback; the U-Boot environment is on 0:appsblenv. The QCN6122/IPQ5018 board-2.bin (BDF) data is supplied via ipq-wifi-tplink_re700x (openwrt/firmware_qca-wireless). Wi-Fi is disabled in the DTS for now: with the default ath11k DP ring sizes both radios exhaust the 256 MiB of RAM. It will be enabled in a follow-up together with the ath11k patch that selects smaller rings on low-memory boards, once that has been accepted upstream.

qualcommax: ipq50xx: add support for GL.iNet GL-X2000

2026-09-28T12:21:38Z

GL.iNet GL-X2000 (Spitz Plus) is a dual-SIM 4G LTE Wi-Fi 6 router. Specifications: SoC: Qualcomm IPQ5018, dual-core Cortex-A53 @ 1.0 GHz RAM: 512 MiB DDR3 Flash: 128 MiB SPI NAND (Winbond W25N01GWZEIG) WLAN: IPQ5018 2x2 2.4 GHz, QCN6122 2x2 5 GHz (802.11ax) Ethernet: 1x GbE WAN (IPQ5018 internal GE PHY) 1x GbE LAN (Atheros AR8031, SGMII) WWAN: Quectel EG120K-EA, LTE Cat.12, USB 3.0 SuperSpeed USB: 1x USB 2.0 host behind an internal hub Buttons: reset LEDs: power, internet, 2.4G, 5G, 4x signal strength Serial: 3v3 TTL, 115200 8N1; 4-pin header labelled GND/RX/TX/3V3 on the mainboard, under the Quectel module in the top right corner. The case opens after pulling the four rubber feet Power: DC 9-35 V, shipped with a 12 V 2.5 A supply Misc: PWM fan, dual SIM slots (muxed inside the modem) The base MAC address is stored at offset 0x6 of the 0:art partition; the first six bytes are erased, which is why U-Boot reports the ART address as invalid. WAN uses the base address (this is the one on the label), LAN base+1, the 2.4 GHz radio base+2 and the 5 GHz radio base+3. The ethernet addresses come from nvmem cells. The board deliberately has no ethernetN aliases: GL.iNet's U-Boot uses them to write its own mac-address properties into both GMAC nodes (a placeholder for WAN, the base address for LAN), which of_get_mac_address() would prefer over the nvmem cells. The modem enumerates at SuperSpeed and therefore requires the IPQ5018 USB3 UNIPHY, so both usbphy0 and usbphy1 are enabled. uqmi cannot communicate with this modem, so modemmanager has to be installed separately to use it. The QCN6122 is wired to the second radio instance, so wifi@b00b040 with userpd3 is enabled rather than wifi@b00a040: the stock device tree enables wifi2@/userpd3 and leaves wifi1@/userpd2 disabled. That instance places its BDF and M3 dump above the default q6 region, so the reserved region is grown accordingly. Board data for the two radios is submitted separately to firmware_qca-wireless. It is taken from the stock firmware's wifi_fw partition, which is a squashfs image: bdwlan.b24 for the IPQ5018 2.4 GHz radio and qcn6122/bdwlan.b60 for the QCN6122 5 GHz radio, matching the qcom,board_id values of 0x24 and 0x60 that the stock device tree assigns to the respective radios. The two radios require distinct board data; sharing a single BDF leaves the front-end misconfigured and the affected radio unable to transmit or receive at usable power. The device tree started from the initial port by Hostle, was largely rewritten by georgem83 and further reworked by Andreas Boeckler, published in the OpenWrt forum thread linked below. It is carried here with fixes for the WLAN board data, the QCN6122 radio instance, the U-Boot environment partition and the fan cooling map. Link: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/plain-openwrt-on-gl-x2000/231554 Installation: Interrupt the bootloader over serial (115200 8N1) by typing "gl", then TFTP the initramfs image and boot it: tftpboot 0x44000000 openwrt-qualcommax-ipq50xx-glinet_gl-x2000-initramfs-uImage.itb bootm 0x44000000 Then flash the factory image with sysupgrade.
