This patch adds support for GL.iNet MT5000.

The GL.iNet MT5000 is a gateway device equipped with three 2.5G Ethernet ports, two of which are LAN ports and one is a WAN port. Currently, this submission does not support LAN-to-LAN communication; only WAN-to-LAN functionality is guaranteed to operate normally.

Hardware Specification:

  • SoC: MediaTek MT7987A (Quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 2.0 GHz)
  • RAM: 1024 MiB DDR4
  • Flash: 8192 MiB EMMC
  • Ethernet:
    • 2x 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps LAN (Realtek RTL8366ub Switch)
    • 1x 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps LAN (SoC internal PHY)
  • Buttons: Reset,
  • LEDs: 3x (Blue: Run, White: System, White: Vpn)
  • UART: 115200 8n1 (VCC, RX, TX, GND)

Flash Layout:

  • 0x0~0x4400 : GPT
  • 0x400000~0x480000 : u-boot-env
  • 0x480000~0x880000 : Factory
  • 0x880000~0xa80000 : fip
  • 0xa80000~0xc80000 : cfg
  • 0xc80000~0xe80000 : log
  • 0xe80000~0x2e80000 : kernel
  • 0x2e80000~0x12a80000: rootfs

MAC Addresses (NVMEM):

  • Base MAC located at Factory partition offset 0x4
  • gmac1 (WAN) : Base - 2 (Label MAC)
  • gmac0 (LAN) : Base - 1

Installation:

  1. You can directly upgrade using the openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-mt5000-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin image on the official GL firmware upgrade page.

  2. Access the device and use the sysupgrade command to upgrade.Note: When upgrading from official firmware, use the -n parameter to preserve no configuration.
