[OpenWrt Wiki] Huawei EchoLife HG556a (2024)

The HG556a was an adsl wifi router mainly distributed by Vodafone to their customers.

It comes in three versions A, B and C:

• A, B versions have identical boards coming with an Atheros wifi chip and they only differ in the flash chip erasesize.

• C version is quite different on the inside, coming with a totally different board, equiped with a Ralink wifi chip, and worse quality (no metal shieldings on the onboard chips). It is recomendable to put a heat sink over the Ralink wifi chip to avoid overheating (some users reported a fried wifi on this model)

VoIP/FXS not officially supported

It's a good idea to backup the cal_data area at the flash-chip. The WLAN calibration data is specific for your device. If you wipe it accidentally it will be difficult to restore, it cannot be restored by flashing back a vendor firmware. For doing this under Openwrt, mount a pendrive (after installing proper drivers for USB mass storage), and copy the cal_data partition into it, example:

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
dd if=/dev/mtd4 of=/mnt/hg556a-cal_data-backup.bin
umount /mnt

*) You can check the version from the OEM firmware executing the command: hwversion show

**) You can check the flash memory chip erasesize with the command (in openwrt): cat /proc/mtd

• 0x20000 = 128 KiB

• 0x10000 = 64 KiB

***) You can check the flash chip model with the command: dmesg | grep Manufacturer

The important parameters for choosing the correct OpenWrt file firmware are the flash chip erasesize, and cal_data offset. But it's harmless to flash an incorrect firmware, it won't brick it.

Since OpenWrt Chaos Calmer (migration to DTS), every version of this router (A, B, C) has its own firmware. See version identification to know your router version.

→ Install OpenWrt (generic explanation)

This section deals with how you install OpenWrt from the device freshly opened.

With this procedure you will flash the firmware using the bootloader web interface (foolproof)

• Set a static IP on your computer, use 192.168.1.35 (or any compatible), and connect the ethernet cable to the router.

• Unplug the router's power cord

• Press the button labeled as RESTART, don't release it yet!

• Plug the power cord

• Wait 12 seconds or more

• Release the RESTART button

• Browse to http://192.168.1.1, you should see this screen:
  

• Select the openwrt-HG556a-squashfs-cfe.bin firmware

• Press Update Software to start the firmware update process

• Wait for it to reboot

• Telnet / ssh to 192.168.1.1 and set a root password, or browse to http://192.168.1.1 if LuCI is installed.

• Connect the serial TTL cable to send commands to CFE for loading the firmware via tftp.

• Start a TFTP server in your PC. Copy the openwrt-HW556-squashfs-cfe.bin firmware to the server.

• Set the IP at your pc to 192.168.1.35 (or any compatible), and connect the ethernet cable to the router.

This is a session of flashing via TFTP:

Please check out the article flash.layout. It contains an example and a couple of explanations.

In theory each wifi chip (it doesn't matter if they are exactly the same model) has its own wifi calibration data. In this router the data is stored in an area of the flash chip. This area is the cal_data partiton in OpenWrt firmwares.

• Without the cal_data, wifi will not work

• The WLAN calibration data is specific for your device, i.e. cal_data from another device will most likely not work

• If you wipe it accidentially it will be difficult to restore

• It cannot be restored by flashing back a vendor firmware

→ It's a good idea to backup this partition before flashing OpenWrt.

There is an easy way if you flash from stock firmware. Use the method “OEM easy installation” to flash 17.01.4 version, cal_data is not destroyed, and wifi is fully functional. Then use a few simple commands.

First identify the cal_data partition

cat /proc/mtd

Results depending on the router model.

now backup the mtd that matches to the cal_data partition, mtd5 in all of them.

dd if=/dev/mtd5 of=/etc/cal_data_HG556.bin

Use WinSCP to transfer the cal_data backup file to your computer.

We will copy the file cal_data_hg556.bin to the folder “/etc” in the router and we will have it available to restore the calibration data.The problem is that the partitions are protected and can not be modified, to do so we will have to install the kmod-mtd-rw module, which allows us to modify the partitions if we execute the command insmod mtd-rw i_want_a_brick=1.

If you lost your calibration data, here is the cal_data partitions for the three models:cal_data_hg556a_a_b_c.rar

If you have installed version 17.01.4 on a router with the original firmware and everything went well, it is not necessary to restore the calibration data. But if you have already lost the calibration data, download cal_data_hg556a_a_b_c.rar and follow these instructions:

First of all, transfer the cal_data_hg556.bin file into your router with WinSCP to “/etc” folder.

The router has to have access to the internet, then we access the router by SSH and execute

opkg updateopkg install kmod-mtd-rw

With this we install the necessary module to unprotect the partitions, then execute

insmod mtd-rw i_want_a_brick=1

We can now modify the data of the partition cal_data.

Optional: If you have installed the snapshot version, it will be useful to have Luci

opkg install luci

Then we check the partition mtd(x) that contains the calibration data by executing:

cat /proc/mtd

mtd5 in all models, so finally

dd if=/etc/cal_data_hg556.bin of=/dev/mtd5 *File names are case sensitive

• Restart OpenWrt and check if wifi works.

→ generic.sysupgrade

If you have already installed OpenWrt and like to reflash for e.g. upgrading to a new OpenWrt version you can upgrade using the mtd command line tool. It is important that you put the firmware image into the ramdisk (/tmp) before you start flashing.

• Browse to http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/mini/system/upgrade/ LuCI Upgrade URL

• Upload image file for sysupgrade to LuCI

• Wait for reboot

• Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1

• Use the following commands to upgrade

  cd /tmp/wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.8/targets/brcm63xx/generic/openwrt-18.06.8-brcm63xx-generic-HG556a-A-squashfs-cfe.bin # adapt to your version (A/B/C) of this devicesysupgrade /tmp/openwrt-18.06.8-brcm63xx-generic-HG556a-A-squashfs-cfe.bin # adapt to your version (A/B/C) of this device

• If sysupgrade does not support this router, use the following commands

  cd /tmp/wget # adapt to your version (A/B/C) of this devicemtd write /tmp/openwrt-18.06.8-brcm63xx-generic-HG556a-A-squashfs-cfe.bin linux && reboot # adapt to your version (A/B/C) of this device

If after upgrading OpenWrt you get the message:

jffs2: Cowardly refusing to erase blocks on filesystem with no valid JFFS2 nodes 

And you can't save changes. Or you are unsure if old data is messing your new firmware. Enter OpenWrt failsafe mode if needed. Then execute this command:

mtd -r erase rootfs_data

These are the default administrator passwords in the OEM firmware

If you want back to the OEM firmware, once you installed OpenWrt, you can use the OpenWrt Luci web interface for flashing it as a regular firmware.

→ Basic configuration After flashing, proceed with this.
Set up your Internet connection, configure wireless, configure USB port, etc.

As default some firmware versions doesn't include wireless drivers. For installing these drivers first give OpenWrt internet access (see Basic_internet_configuration or switch_ports_for_vlans) and execute:

• if your router has an Atheros wifi chip:

  opkg updateopkg install kmod-ath9k

• or, if your router version has a Ralink wifi chip

  opkg updateopkg install kmod-rt2800-pci

• you may also want to install USB drivers

  opkg install kmod-usb-ohci kmod-usb2

• If you are using a trunk version, you may want to install luci:

  opkg install luci/etc/init.d/uhttpd enable

The default network configuration is:

You can set a basic internet configuration with uci commands. Assuming your main router (gateway) has the IP 192.168.1.1 (the most common). Follow these steps.

1. Connect only the ethernet cable from the HG556a to your computer, and telnet it or ssh.

2. Execute these commands

   uci set network.lan.ipaddr=192.168.1.254uci set network.lan.netmask=255.255.255.0uci set network.lan.gateway=192.168.1.1uci set network.lan.dns='8.8.8.8 192.168.1.1'uci commit network

3. You may also need to disable the dhcp server

   /etc/init.d/dnsmasq disable

4. Reboot the HG556a

   reboot

5. Connect an ethernet cable from the HG556a to the main router (gateway).

6. Now the HG556a IP is 192.168.1.254, telnet or ssh it.

7. Ping any internet address, or install a package

   opkg updateopkg install luci

This is an example to configure the switch: numbers 0-2 will be lan, labeled as Ports 1-3 on the unit, number 3 (LAN4) will be the Internet (WAN), 5 is the internal connection to the router itself. Don't be fooled: vlan0 = eth0.0, vlan1 = eth0.1 and so on.

# path: /etc/config/network# LAN4 = WANconfig interface loopback option ifname lo option proto static option ipaddr 127.0.0.1 option netmask 255.0.0.0config interface lan option type bridge option ifname eth0.1 option proto static option ipaddr 192.168.1.1 option netmask 255.255.255.0config interface wan option ifname eth0.2 option proto dhcp config switch eth0option enable1option reset1option enable_vlan 1config switch_vlanoption device eth0option vlan 1option ports "0 1 2 5t"config switch_vlanoption device eth0option vlan 2option ports "3 5t"

The BCM6358 SoC has two CPU cores. Unfortunately Linux kernel can only manage one core. The TLB is shared between the two cores, and there isn't code to deal with this problem.

As default the second core is the main. Since the cores in BCM6358 have different features, with double icache in the first one, we may want to use it as the main one → more icache = better performance. The problem for using the core0 is the initialization, this task is made by the bootloader, not OpenWrt.

We can manually hex-edit the bootloader to force initialization of the first core as the Main thread. Or just use this utility in OpenWrt:

tp0set_1.0-1_brcm63xx.ipk
(looks like the binary is only compatible with Barrier Breaker or earlier versions of OpenWrt. Just flash Barrier Breaker, use the utility and then upgrade to the current lastest release). Tested dozen times with success.

Just install it and execute:

tp0set 0

then reboot the router.

This is a session of installing and executing tp0set

root@OpenWrt:/tmp# opkg install tp0set_1.0-1_brcm63xx.ipk Installing tp0set (1.0-1) to root...Configuring tp0set.root@OpenWrt:/tmp# tp0set 0setting TP0 main coreMTD Type: 3MTD total size: 20000 bytesMTD erase size: 20000 bytesEraseing Block 0Writting to /dev/mtd0...Done!!root@OpenWrt:/tmp#

This is what you will see in dmesg:

• Before: [ 0.000000] Primary instruction cache 16kB, VIPT, 2-way, linesize 16 bytes.

• After: [ 0.000000] Primary instruction cache 32kB, VIPT, 2-way, linesize 16 bytes.

Some people reported +15∼20% extra performance with this change.

And this is the source code of tp0set

#include <stdio.h>#include <fcntl.h>#include <sys/ioctl.h>#include <mtd/mtd-user.h>#include <string.h>#define DATA_OFFSET 20#define RAWBYTES_LEN 4int main(int argc, char *argv[]){ mtd_info_t mtd_info; // the MTD structure erase_info_t ei; // the erase block structure int m; unsigned int rawBytes; //the bytes we want to write if (argc != 2) { printf("Usage: tp0set [0/1]\n"); return 1; } m = atoi(argv[1]); //convert argument to integer if( m == 1) { rawBytes = 0x10000000;printf("setting TP1 main core\n"); } else if ( m == 0 ) { rawBytes = 0x00000000;printf("setting TP0 main core\n"); } else { printf("only 0 or 1 allowed\n"); return 1; } unsigned char read_buf[0x20000] = {0x00}; // empty array for reading  int fd = open("/dev/mtd0", O_RDWR); // open the mtd device for reading and  // writing.

The changes survives forever, no matter if we install a new firmware, even erasing totally the previous firmware, since this setting is stored in CFE itself.

Note: You can't use the first core as the Main thread with the OEM firmware, it will cause hardware failure when initializating VoIP hardware stuff.

→ failsafe_and_factory_reset

Openwrt failsafe: Power on the router, press the button RESTART repeatedly to enter failsafe mode (the power led starts blinking very fast)

CFE failsafe: This is for entering in the bootloader command line. Use a serial cable and press any key while loading CFE.

Note: This will void your warranty!

Versions A,B

This board version has also a second serial UART1 port available at GPIO29 (TXD1, see other GPIOs), RXD1 is the GPIO28 (at LAN4 red LED).

Version C

Use a serial TTL adapter to connect your PC with HG556a. With an USB adapter connect only TX, RX and GND.With Cutecom (or other serial console software), open /dev/ttyUSB0 (you must have right permissions).

Settings:

• Baudrate: 115200

• Data bits: 8

• Parity: None

• Stop bits: 1

Photo of PCB with markings:

Versions A, B

10 pin header marked J400 (see back of board picture). Uses AVR JTAG layout. Broadcom CPU recognised by TJTAG version 3.0.1

Version C

These pins are also accesible on the other side of the board: hg556a_c-jtag2.jpg. Looks like this pinout is wrong or the JTAG isn't enabled (nTRST should be pulled low?).

There are several utilities that support BCM6358 for flashing via JTAG cable. In our examples we will use zJTAG (ver 1.8) with a WIGGLER buffered cable. It is also possible to use a DLC5 unbuffered cable, but not longer than 15 cm.

• Backup the whole flash: ./zjtag -backup:custom /window:1e000000 /start:1e000000 /length:1000000 /wiggler /BE

• Backup the calibration data: ./zjtag -backup:custom /window:1e000000 /start:1EEFE000 /length:2000 /wiggler /BE
  or for the flash chip MX29LV128DB: ./zjtag -backup:custom /window:1e000000 /start:1EF7E000 /length:2000 /wiggler /BE

If you're using the DL5 unbuffered cable replace /wiggler by /cable:4

It's also possible to use UrJTAG. It's faster compared with HairyDairymaid based software. Sometimes it fails to enter debug mode, but after several attempts, once entered debug mode, it works totally ok. Probably deleting the bootloader before using UrJTAG would help to enter debug mode. Using the nTRST pin would also help to enter debug mode.

• The following is a session of flashing the bootloader using UrJTAG, it only took one minute included the verification:

GPIOs 25 and 29 are unused. GPIO29 can be converted to TXD1, for a second serial UART port after kernel patching → http://pastebin.com/qcjGAfJZ. GPIOs 4 and 5 are used by the bootloader to get the board model. For the GPIO30, we can safely cut the trace that goes to the memory flash chip.

Serial Peripheral Interface

The BCM6358 SoC has a SPI controller. The HG556a SPI pins are exposed on the board, at the place for a Si3050 chip which isn't soldered. We can use this SPI interface for connecting our own SPI stuff, but we need to build the kernel with the drivers and proper platform data code for registering the SPI device. This is the pinout:

This SPI interface is also connected to the Le88266 VoiP chip, but using the Slave Select 2 (GPIO32): hg556a_spi_le88266.jpg le88286-pinout.png

Code example for spidev kernel module board support, the added code is highlighted in green:

+static struct spi_board_info hw556_spi_info[] = {+{+.bus_num= 0,+.chip_select= 1,+.mode= 0,+.max_speed_hz= 781000,+.modalias= "spidev",+},+};static struct board_info __initdata board_HW556_B = {.name= "HW556_B",.expected_cpu_id= 0x6358,.has_uart0= 1,.has_pci= 1,.has_ohci0= 1,.has_ehci0= 1,.num_usbh_ports= 2,.has_caldata= 1,.caldata = {{.vendor= PCI_VENDOR_ID_ATHEROS,.caldata_offset= 0xefe000,.slot= 1,.endian_check= 1,.led_pin= 2,},},.has_enet1= 1,.enet1 = {.has_phy= 1,.phy_id= 0,.force_speed_100= 1,.force_duplex_full= 1,},+.spis = hw556_spi_info,+.num_spis = ARRAY_SIZE(hw556_spi_info),};

Or we can use the dts file instead:

};nvram@fe0000 {label = "nvram";reg = <0xfe0000 0x020000>;};};};+&lsspi {+status = "okay";++spidev@1 {+compatible = "lwn,bk4";+spi-max-frequency = <20000000>;+reg = <1>;+};+};&uart0 {status = "okay";};

The SPI controller is able to work with these speeds (kHz): 20000, 12500, 6250, 3125, 1563, 781(default), 391

• Demo video connecting a SPI display, (781 kHz):

Unfortunatelly the bcm63xx SPI driver is a bit broken. Some stuff might not work.

The HG556a has two FXS ports for connecting a phone, allowing to use VoIP features. The board has Le88266 VoiP chip, connected via SPI interface and using the Slave Select 2 (GPIO32), the RESET# pin is connected to the GPIO24.

Not officially supported, but some drivers are available (not tested):https://github.com/pgid69/bcm63xx-phone

bcm63xx-phone on Huawei HG556a works fine → see my post on https://github.com/pgid69/bcm63xx-phone/issues/15

The board is equiped with two AXICOM IM02N relays. One of them is controlled via GPIO14.

On the bottom side we can see clearer how these relays are wired

On the HG55VDFA VER.C board there are two antennas. One is an Airgain A2430GN antenna (6dbi peak gain), the other is a crappy PCB antenna commonly used by manufacturers to save costs.

For this mod the PCB antenna is invalidated by cutting the signal trace on the board. Then just solder the pigtail cable with the signal wire before the cut, and the shield to any point near the small connector, or on the connector itself.

In this mod we will add an active buzzer (DC buzzer) to the router. We will use this simple circuit

The buzzer will be soldered to a LED on the board, this way we can control both at the same time.

Components:

• Active buzzer, AKA DC buzzer.

• 1 kohm resistor

• 1 PNP transistor (2N3906 or other)

Solder the components on the board following the previous schematic:

Now configure the LED where the buzzer was soldered. Or use /sys/class/leds interface.

Example:

Install the morse led trigger:
opkg updateopkg install kmod-ledtrig-morse

Send an SOS to the world

echo morse > /sys/class/leds/HW556:green:lan4/triggerecho "SOS" > /sys/class/leds/HW556:green:lan4/message

In this table we can see the different geometry of flash chips:

The WIFI calibration data location (starts with 0xA55A) is displayed on bootup. . The fInfo.* values appear to be embedded in the kernel

Boot log reports:

MX29GL128EH | S29GL128P10

...Total Flash size: 16384K with 128 sectorsBoard id is set HW556, ucHardwareType 0fInfo.flash_wlanparam_start_blk = 119fInfo.flash_wlanparam_number_blk = 1fInfo.flash_wlanparam_length = 0x2000fInfo.flash_wlanparam_blk_offset = 0x1e000

Based on the geometry in the above table let's calculate the offset:

119*0x20000+0x1e000 = 0xEFE000

If we make a backup of whole flash via JTAG we see it's exactly located at the offset 0xEFE000

...Total Flash size: 16384K with 263 sectorsBoard id is set HW556, ucHardwareType 0fInfo.flash_wlanparam_start_blk = 254fInfo.flash_wlanparam_number_blk = 1fInfo.flash_wlanparam_length = 0x2000fInfo.flash_wlanparam_blk_offset = 0xe000

Based on the geometry in the above table let's calculate the offset again:

8*0x2000+(254-8)*0x10000+0xe000 = 0xF7E000
