This patch adds support for the Ubiquiti PowerBeam M (XW), e.g. PBE-M5-400,
a 802.11n wireless with a feed+dish form factor. This device was previously
supported by the ar71xx loco-m-xw firmware.
Specifications:
- Atheros AR9342 SoC
- 64 MB RAM
- 8 MB SPI flash
- 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port, 24 Vdc PoE-in
- Power and LAN green LEDs
- 4x RSSI LEDs (red, orange, green, green)
- UART (115200 8N1)
Flashing via stock GUI:
- Downgrade to AirOS v5.5.x (latest available is 5.5.10-u2) first (see
https://openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/powerbeam installation instructions)
- Upload the factory image via AirOS web GUI.
Flashing via TFTP:
- Use a pointy tool (e.g., unbent paperclip) to keep the
reset button pressed.
- Power on the device (keep reset button pressed).
- Keep pressing until LEDs flash alternatively LED1+LED3 =>
LED2+LED4 => LED1+LED3, etc.
- Release reset button.
- The device starts a TFTP server at 192.168.1.20.
- Set a static IP on the computer (e.g., 192.168.1.21/24).
- Upload via tftp the factory image:
$ tftp 192.168.1.20
tftp> bin
tftp> trace
tftp> put openwrt-ath79-generic-xxxxx-ubnt_powerbeam-m-xw-squashfs-factory.bin
WARNING: so far, no non-destructive method has been discovered for
opening the enclosure to reach the serial console. Internal photos
are available here: https://fcc.io/SWX-NBM5HP
since v1:
* renamed from ubnt,powerbeam-m to ubnt,powerbeam-m-xw
since v2:
* removed redundant mtd-mac-address from dts
since v3:
* based on testimony of Joe Ayers <joe at ayerscasa.com>:
* the bricking problem was resolved by 076d58d3440f (2016-02)
* the tftp flashing problem was resolved by 6009b3fd586a (2018-11)
so, removed the associated warnings.
