3 - GND

Installation:

Serial Port/TFTP

1. Setup tftp server on the local network
2. Connect to UART with TTL
3. Interupt U-boot process with Ctrl-C
4. Setup appropriate ipaddr and serverip in setenv:
  - setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
  - setenv serverip 192.168.1.2
5. On TFTP Server - copy openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_r500-initramfs-kernel.bin to /srv/tftp
6. On R500 boot into initrd image
  - tftpboot 0x81000000 openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_r500-initramfs-kernel.bin
  - bootm 0x81000000
7. On TFTP server - scp -O openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_r500-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp
8. Ensure the boot command is set before flashing the image:
    fw_setenv bootcmd 'bootm 0xbf1c0000'
9. On R500 - sysupgrade /tmp/openwrt-ath79-generic-ruckus_r500-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
10. If not done in 8; set boot command from U-boot shell itself:
  - setenv bootcmd bootm 0xbf1c0000
  - saveenv
  - reset

This patch adapted from https://github.com/victhor393/openwrt-ruckus-r500/tree/ruckus-r500-master

- Heavily refactored the device tree
- Extended commit message
- Documented onboad connectors
- Refactored MAC and calibration data setups to use nvmem-layout
- Made both network interfaces LAN ports and bridge them, this makes
  more sense for an access point and is consistent with the rest of
  Ruckus APs.
- Enable lzma-loader for compressed initramfs
- Enabled the optional internal USB port
- Added missing LEDs and according pinctrl settings
- Added reserved memory region used for bootloader communication
- Added the bit-banged I²C bus and onboard TPM
- Refactored boot scheme and flash layout to match earlier Ruckus
  devices and maximize usable space for user data.

Quirks:
- H7 is the physical presence switch for the SLB9645TT12 TPM.

TODO:
- Link state reporting on the Ethernet ports doesn't work and both ports
  report "up" due to limitation of swconfig ar8327 driver. With DSA
  conversion, this shall be rectified.
- Locate 2nd shift register (U7) controlling beamforming antennas, probably
  on ath10k GPIOs which are currently unsupported in the driver. For
  this, there is a device tree node describing that - but explicitly
  disabled.
- At the moment of adding support, there is an endianness bug in the TPM
  driver causing it to not detect the TPM module because of ID mismatch.
