The flash procedure is similar to the Xiaomi AX6000 router.
Load openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb from original Zyxel U-Boot:
tftpboot openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb
bootm 0x46000000
Load mtd-rw
insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/mtd-rw.ko i_want_a_brick=1
Format ubi and create ubootenv partitions
ubidetach -p /dev/mtd5; ubiformat /dev/mtd5 -y; ubiattach -p /dev/mtd5
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 0 -N ubootenv -s 128KiB
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 1 -N ubootenv2 -s 128KiB
Copy openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb to /tmp and create recovery partition.
If your recovery image is larger than 10MiB, size the recovery partition accordingly to make it fit.
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 2 -N recovery -s 10MiB
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_2 openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb
Copy preloader and uboot to /tmp and write them in the mtd
mtd write /tmp/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-preloader.bin bl2
mtd write /tmp/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-bl31-uboot.fip fip
Now write the firmware:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-zyxel_ex5601-t0-ubootmod-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb
To create a correct BL2, I had to add a profile for 'spim:4k+256' as I could not find a way to value the variable 'NAND_TYPE'.
Features and fixes from hitech95 tree has been squashed, I'm attaching his commit message:
The Power LED was not working correctly and not reacting
to the boot process and statuses.
The board has space (footprint) for an unpopulated Zigbee chip,
while we dont know the device model having this chip populated
we have to assure that the common dts doesnt enable
interfaces that share pins with such device.
In this instance the PCIe and the uart1 and uart2 are disabled.
Some of the control PCIE pins seems to be used for the Zigbee chip,
UART1 seems to be used as a flash port while UART2 should be the
main comunication interface of Zigbee chip.
The Zigbee chip should be a EFR32MG21. But the pins used for UART
seems to be not on standard PINS used by other adapters.
So it cannot run firmwares shared on the web.
But it should be possible to build a custom firmware with
the corrtect pinmux.
This commit also contains the following squashed commit from hitech95
- mediatek: fix sysupgrade for Zyxel EX7601-T0 ubootmod
Changes and fixes added in common board:
- added aliases for boot status leds.
- added aliases for the mac-label-device.
- added pin claims for core features (MDIO and UART 0)
- added default LEDs configuration (01_leds)
- added default network configuration (02_network)
- added missing kmod-usb3 module for USB3
- fixed LED names
- fixed reset pin for SLIC chip
- removed unused pinmux configurations and devices
- fix LAN (switch) port numbering
- using nvmem cells for wifi eeprom, dropping deprecated "mediatek,mtd-eeprom"
- proper factory partition and mac address handling
- cleaned up spi_nand sections and partition
Changes and fixxes added in stock layout:
- added NMBM, if u-boot has it, the kernel must be informed.

Project ImmortalWrt
ImmortalWrt is a fork of OpenWrt, with more packages ported, more devices supported, better performance, and special optimizations for mainland China users.
Compared the official one, we allow to use hacks or non-upstreamable patches / modifications to achieve our purpose. Source from anywhere.
Default login address: http://192.168.1.1 or http://immortalwrt.lan, username: root, password: none.
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 ImmortalWrt, 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.
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
To build with this project, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is preferred. And you need use the CPU based on AMD64 architecture, with at least 4GB RAM and 25 GB available disk space. Make sure the Internet is accessible.
The following tools are needed to compile ImmortalWrt, the package names vary between distributions.
- Here is an example for Ubuntu users:
-
Method 1:
Setup dependencies via APT
sudo apt update -y sudo apt full-upgrade -y sudo apt install -y ack antlr3 asciidoc autoconf automake autopoint binutils bison build-essential \ bzip2 ccache clang cmake cpio curl device-tree-compiler ecj fastjar flex gawk gettext gcc-multilib \ g++-multilib git gnutls-dev gperf haveged help2man intltool lib32gcc-s1 libc6-dev-i386 libelf-dev \ libglib2.0-dev libgmp3-dev libltdl-dev libmpc-dev libmpfr-dev libncurses5-dev libncursesw5 \ libncursesw5-dev libpython3-dev libreadline-dev libssl-dev libtool lld llvm lrzsz mkisofs msmtp \ nano ninja-build p7zip p7zip-full patch pkgconf python2.7 python3 python3-pip python3-ply \ python-docutils python3-pyelftools qemu-utils re2c rsync scons squashfs-tools subversion swig \ texinfo uglifyjs upx-ucl unzip vim wget xmlto xxd zlib1g-dev -
Method 2:
sudo bash -c 'bash <(curl -s https://build-scripts.immortalwrt.eu.org/init_build_environment.sh)'
-
Note:
- Do everything as an unprivileged user, not root, without sudo.
- Using CPUs based on other architectures should be fine to compile ImmortalWrt, but more hacks are needed - No warranty at all.
- You must not have spaces or non-ascii characters in PATH or in the work folders on the drive.
- If you're using Windows Subsystem for Linux (or WSL), removing Windows folders from PATH is required, please see Build system setup WSL documentation.
- Using macOS as the host build OS is not recommended. No warranty at all. You can get tips from Build system setup macOS documentation.
- For more details, please see Build system setup documentation.
Quickstart
- Run
git clone -b <branch> --single-branch --filter=blob:none https://github.com/immortalwrt/immortalwrtto clone the source code. - Run
cd immortalwrtto enter source directory. - Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default - Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ - Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. - Run
maketo 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.
