Dec 1, 2024

Monthly summary for 2024-12 (coolsnowwolf/immortalwrt). Focused on delivering stability, reliability, and measurable device performance improvements across MT7620-based devices, with several targeted bug fixes and a key U-Boot feature. Key features delivered: - LED Boot Status Enhancement: added led_loop_done command to U-Boot environment to improve boot-status indication for OpenWrt One NAND flash. - Wireless Driver Performance and Stability Improvements: firmware and driver tweaks for MT7620, including RT5592 RF/BBP initialization and TX queue handling, resulting in more stable wireless performance and higher throughput. - MMC Clock Stabilization: reduced default MMC clock to 24 MHz for MT7620a/MT7628an, reducing SDHC read/write errors and increasing boot/operation reliability. Major bugs fixed: - MAC Address Parsing and Duplicate Handling: fix duplicate MAC handling by enabling get_mac_ascii and stripping whitespace around ASCII MAC addresses. - Calibration Data Size and EEPROM Offset Fixes: AR9132 calibration data size corrected; 2.4GHz MAC EEPROM offset corrected for TL-WR902AC v4. - AX3000 Patch Line Numbering Correction: fixed patch line numbering in Routerich AX3000 u-boot patch. - USB Power Control Reversion: reverted PHY-based USB GPIO control to maintain user-space control and reliability. - Additional stability fixes: general improvements to prevent MMC/SDHC related errors and improve boot-time robustness. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly improved device stability and reliability across MT7620-based devices, with tangible reductions in MMC/SD errors, clearer boot diagnostics, and more robust MAC/EEPROM handling. The changes also enhanced patch correctness and maintainability, reducing support risk for common device variants. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Embedded Linux (mac80211 rt2x00), U-Boot patching, device-tree tweaks, EEPROM calibration handling, MMC/SDHC stabilization, and careful patch management with commit traceability.
